Look at post #144. I directly responded to this. And you responded to my response and we kept responding to each other.William wrote: ↑Tue Nov 15, 2022 12:12 pm [Replying to The Tanager in post #154]
[Search "In The Beginning Document" + "Context"]Even though it isn’t my burden to prove your conclusion wrong, I have shared the weaknesses I see in GMs: apparent randomness of method, your involvement in limiting the phrases/videos the method is used on, and the vagueness of the GMs to the point where vastly different meanings can be interpreted from them. So, your case should address such critiques.
Cleary I did respond to your critique, and notably, you gave no further comment to my response.Why not interpret the message like this:Mostly 'why not' has to do with context Tanager. Those interested parties who have been regularly reading the GMs offered over the course of the past 11 months, will understand context re all of the GMs collectively, rather than simply make unsubstantiated remarks about the one part I quoted, and claim said remarks are valid interpretations.
I have no interest in repeating my argument, if you have no interest in making further comment to my responses re your original critique.
That is too roundabout for my liking, and I prefer a more straightforward direction...

"Supernatural" is not a word used at this table re this conversation.19. I think I agree, as long as "natural" isn't meant as an antonym of "supernatural"
1: We exist within a creation.
20: Those who are in genuine relationship with YHVH recognize the similarity while also acknowledging the unique in others who are also in genuine relationship with YHVH.
"Mistakes" belongs in the same category as "Supernatural" in that it has no place in our discussion, if by its use, you are referring to anything in a judgmental manner.20. If you mean those in a genuine relationship never make mistakes, I disagree. Unless "genuine relationship" is just another way to say when one in a relationship isn't making a mistake.
22: What we do agree on, can help us formulate a better relationship with each other, re YHVH.
Regarding what we have - at this point - agreed together re YHVH re the Agreement List22. I'm still not sure what the "re YHVH" refers to.
That is part of the process re the goal of creating a genuine relationship between you and I, Yes.That we can know what each other thinks about YHVH better?
That we might eventually come to that point, yes.That we will see we both are in a relationship with YHVH?
The Agreement list can be added to, as the 'else' comes along.Something else?

I opinion that YHVH does this as a means of making sure The Elohim input re the individual personality is at a minimum so as the results of the free will ingredient are not fudged so as to provide a means/opportunity of any accuser claiming that YHVH influenced said results as in "why the individual 'really' bows to YHVH's wisdom re the Omni-attributes - not through the individuals act of free will - but by YHVH's interference in instructing the individual personality in a manner which would clearly show the observer that the accuser is correct that YHVH has unduly influenced the sovereignty of the individuals free will and ability to correctly discern without judgement, on the personalities own diligence.GM: I Will

God inspired his personal name in the OT nearly 6800 places. Because it is his will for that name to be there is why. It was called the tetragramoton= YHWH--Men replaced it with GOD or LORD all capitols. They had no right. It was done by satans will to mislead. As well in the NT where the OT is quoted and the name belongs about 200 spots. So close to 7000 spots-YHWH name was removed. It has caused much confusion as to who God is.
"I Am That I Am" [YHWH] allows everyone the right of passage to decide for themselves as to who this entity is, to them.
So if some say "LORD" or "GOD" or "Murdering Psychopath" or "Invisible Sky Daddy" et al - there is no requirement to accuse Satan of misleading them in their deciding for themselves.
God is to everyone, whatever they choose God to being, through their world view.
The true God= Father only accepts being worshipped in spirit and truth-John 4:22-24)
The Hebrew scholars, who know the Hebrew language better than any say, there is no i am that i am in their Hebrew written OT. I will be what i will be is the correct translating of that passage.
"I will be what I will be." [YHWH] allows everyone the right of passage to decide for themselves as to who this entity is, to them.
So if some say "LORD" or "GOD" or "Murdering Psychopath" or "Invisible Sky Daddy" et al - there is no requirement to accuse Satan of misleading them in their deciding for themselves.

However, since this is not the subject of the thread topic - if you want to argue it more, I suggest that another thread be created in order to do so.

These things happen.I’m sorry. I don’t remember reading that, so I must have lost track and ended up skipping over it.
You lost track. You regained the opportunity to get back on track.I don’t see how that argument is the same as mine, though.
Re YHVH - the relationship between the individual personality and YHVH is purely subjective and interpreted in that manner.So, “Insights come (in a way that can be measured as real) to those who are in genuine relationship with YHVH”? I’m not sure what that means. Can you give multiple examples of an insight being measured as real?
Otherwise, I do not understand the nature or purpose of your request.20: Those who are in genuine relationship with YHVH recognize the similarity while also acknowledging the unique in others who are also in genuine relationship with YHVH.
Given what we have agree to already, how would you word it, that it would be less confusing?So, “what we do agree on about YHVH, can help us formulate a better relationship with each other (regarding what we’ve agreed on about YHVH)? That wording is a bit confusing.
Can you give an example where you disagree with YHVH/ YHVH disagrees with you, yet your relationship with each other is still 'great'?I think relationships can be great with agreements and disagreements.
Are you therefore arguing that they are incoherent until you provided them with coherency? Can you explain how you are able to do this with vague things?I’m providing the coherency because of how vague they are.
Is your argument therefore, that as an objective device these GMs are not useful in relation to the possibility YHVH can use the device system as a means of communicating with the individual personality subjectively?That you can provide an entirely different, yet coherent message speaks against their usefulness as an objectively verifiable communication device.
4: The GM's cannot be truthfully critiqued by one, if one does not to take them altogether, in context.
I have linked you with the last couple of GM posts. You can start with those if you are - as you say - "game".I’m game for running a GM (new or old) as a whole through my critiques.
Since you have not been following the GMs from the go get, or even since we have been having this discussion, you are likely to miss the context and in doing so, misinterpret. Please bear that in mind.It has to do with context Tanager. Those interested parties who have been regularly reading the GMs offered over the course of the past 11 months, will understand context re all of the GMs collectively,
YHVH designed language, so it is not a matter of being impossible, but perhaps the way in which language is misused by human personalities in their communicating, is where the problem can be sourced?I’m definitely not saying that YHVH would only use a message that couldn’t be misunderstood; that would probably be impossible, because of the nature of language and communication.
Incorrect, for reasons I have expressed above.But these GMs are more vague than the narratives, poetry, etc. of things like the Biblical accounts.
Abrahamic scripture shows clearly that YHVH often speaks in riddles [of sorts] and not revealing all pertinent information.
I disagree with this assessment Tanager. The literature of the Bible is a collection of things pulled out of various sources and gathered together into one overall book, and one which itself, is the source of much confusion, disagreement on interpretation, and vagueness as folk pull out parts from what is already there.Yes, much of the literature is meant to be meditated on, connected to previous events in the story, insights drawn out, but this is a way to pull out what is already there, while your GMs seem to require information being injected into them.

You have already expressed suspicion about the subjective nature of relationship. Now you are asking for examples? What subjective examples re insight could be accepted other than re Agreement 20?

That has been part of my argument. Perhaps you missed that as well?
William wrote: ↑Fri Nov 18, 2022 1:13 pmMy argument has always been that the GMs act primarily as a subjective device. I acknowledge that there is a following in every internet forum where I post these, which tells me that even as objective items, the GMs have enough coherency in them to keep folk interested in following the GMs as I share them.
William wrote: ↑Fri Nov 18, 2022 1:13 pmAlso to note, with the addition of journaled links to previous posts, to YouTube channels and scientific papers et all - such add significant detail rather than the vagueness you claim as all that you see, Tanager.
Based on that evidence, I have no option but to continue to reject your critique as honest and useful.
William wrote: ↑Fri Nov 18, 2022 1:13 pmAs to my own commentary which I include as part of the GM's - these are subjective and show the reader the type of relationship I am having with the process re the mind behind this created environment we are all sharing together.
If the mind is not YHVH's, then how can you tell, and who else could the mind be?
Why would YHVH use a method that could be interpreted to put just about any message in YHVH’s mouth that one would want?

You appear to have gone off track with this Tanager. I do not understand what argument you are making re the above.I did. You said my argument is the same as this other one, when I don’t see how it is. Mine critiques a specific method due to its vagueness. Yours says YHVH should only make one message. I don’t see how that is the same.
Did you not agree with agreement 20?Are you saying that agreement 20 is the insight? If so, how is agreement 20 “measured as real” rather than unreal? I’m not saying it isn’t, I’m trying to figure out what that means.
Can you give an example where you disagree with YHVH/ YHVH disagrees with you, yet your relationship with each other is still 'great'?
I am arguing relationship - individual personality with YHVH. YHVH's love does not even depend upon human existence.Does YHVH’s love, in your view, depend on us knowing everything?
But if you do not know what the 'something' is, you cannot give any example, therefore you have nothing to measure with as to how 'great' or not, your relationship is with YHVH.I know I’m not perfect in knowledge, so there must be something I disagree with YHVH on.
They are just a collection of words, phrases, etc.
You show your lack of understanding as to what is going on in the selection process, Tanager.until me (or you or someone else) reads a meaning into them, connecting them together.
We have agreed thatAs I said earlier, if your argument is simply that YHVH could use it, then I agree. Would YHVH use it is a different question. I think (due to the randomness of formation, the limitations put on what words, phrases, etc. can be used, and the vague result that is then filled in with one’s own understanding) would lead YHVH to choose not to use it, since it could be so easily misunderstood and be re-made in the recipient’s image instead of what YHVH wants to convey in a much easier way than coming to earth and speaking full sentences, performing actions, etc.
My argument has always been that the GMs act primarily as a subjective device. I acknowledge that there is a following in every internet forum where I post these, which tells me that even as objective items, the GMs have enough coherency in them to keep folk interested in following the GMs as I share them.
My point remains Tanager.They could be interested in the meaning you give to them or a different meaning that they give to them, though. That doesn’t point to them having objective meaning.
NO.You do have options. I interpreted that message, used every element of it in a coherent way, and got a totally different meaning. That means the message is extremely vague.
I'm finished with this subject, as it is obvious we are not going to agree.It’s your mind. You’ve randomized words and phrases you chose to add and then filled in the gaps with your thoughts to make it coherent.

Thus, it must have something to do with something else, that anyone would think their relationship with YHVH is 'great'.
