Quote from: TayesinIt's such an interesting topic, that of Dogma.Yes, there is no single definition. Again, could you please quote all of the definitions from the Oxford dictionary? There is usually more than one definition. I found three definitions in the American Heritage Dictionary. Thanks.
Quote from: TayesinI posted it because daem0n has a valid point, and those who are stuck in Dogma do not see it for what it is.What do you consider dogma? If someone believes in the teachings of say Christ, then you consider that person stuck on dogma? No offense, but often you make statements about people and seem to enjoy making personal statements without any evidence.
Quote from: TayesinAs an aside Paul, since I've been posting at AP, I've noticed that there is a perceptional difference between Americans and most other people.Yes, Americans find it interesting that people of other countries enjoy picking at us. It's OK, we understand. Some people believe in Karma and some believe in luck. Perhaps our country, America, just got lucky, or perhaps we did something good. You reap what you sew.
Quote from: TayesinYours is posted to intend "Authority", and so support your Opinions to readers as having to be the 'correct' ones. Whereas, the meanings I posted show it to be a case of what it really is...No comment. You desire personal statements toward others way too much for my taste. Most of our discussions usually lead to personal things. Yet I ask you time after time to leave personal statements out of the discussion.
Again Tayesin, I use the 3rd definition of dogma, "A principle or belief or a group of them." I do not follow any authority of the church as stated by some definitions of dogma. Although I have no issue with authority. The authority I follow is of the Christ. Christ is not a fictitious person. This being is at present the highest developed being of the Archangel kingdom.
On the topic of this thread, possession ... can anyone see cloaked beings? I find it interesting and still to date cannot understand why the fallen angelic kingdom has an issue with authority. Yet again, there seems to be disagreement with sides as to who are the fallen angels. As stated in the Bible, one third of the angels fell. A few years ago I heard a fallen angel that was cloaked as an ascended master say that two thirds of the angels fell. Notice this master said "Two thirds" which is the opposite of what the Bible says.
