Thought crimes and thought righteousness

-Removed-

how can they be described as being the manifestation of ultimate justice or divine righteousness or morally coherent?


I have no idea. I do believe however that since we don't know what "ultimate justice" looks like, it stands to reason that forming opinions on something we know very little of might not be wise.

Asserting what consitutes "ultimate justice" is an absolutely axiomatic part of Christianity. Do you think, therefore, that Christianity "might not be wise"?

I'm acknowledging that none of would recognize "ultimate justice" if it wacked us in the butt with 2 hot sticks. Because of this, we're debating something we know very little about, which might just be a waste of time. Do it if you like, but I'd prefer stick with something I know about.

Perhaps you are unaware of this, but both Jewish and Catholic traditions teach something along the lines of:

Think no evil, but if you can't do that then
Speak no evil, and if you can even manage that, then at least
Do no evil.

To whatever extent someone believes they are primarily a spiritual being only temporarily incarnate, would it not be most correct for them to manage their thoughts?

Nice phraseology "manage their thoughts".

Which definition of manage were you thinking about?

Supervise, treat with care, direct, try to alter for a purpose

All four are interesting in the context of your post maybe.

If these extremes are in fact true, how can they be described as being the manifestation of ultimate justice or divine righteousness or morally coherent?


They can't be described as you mentioned because the judgmental power in this case comes from beyond our understanding. As I've stated here several times, this is the barrier non-Christians run into when trying to use their limited intellectual capacity to fully understand their creator who has absolute wisdom. and power. It doesn't work.

Well you extremist hell-subscribers need to make up your friggin’ minds about this stuff

I'm not exactly sure who you're referring to here, but I've already made up my mind.

I believe in Jesus who is both my King And Saviour..... however nothing approaching immortality is a done deal.

Assuming that one gets through The Great Tribulation (now started I think) one would have a period of testing; after 1000 years to come to perfection (spiritually speaking) there is the matter if a test when Satan is released from his bonds.

This whole “because I believe in Jesus I am saved stuff is not born out by the scriptures.

Come on then, let’s have the pelters 😂😎😁

How so, and why only maybe?
