>implying proof of any kind is possible at all
Yeah, this is simply human arrogance; embrace Socratic ignorance as the only position an honest man can take and you're in a position to understand that "the just shall live by faith."
>>12423152
Because, despite the impossibility of proof, God's supernatural self-revelation is able to truly convince the honest man beyond his capacity to doubt: this is the true gnosis. The Gnostics understood Christianity correctly, in that there is such an enlightenment or gnosis to be had, but they misunderstood its content as that garbage about the demiurge and matter and whatnot. The true gnosis is simple certainty of Christ's Godhood bestowed by special revelation, see Matthew 16:15-17.

Proud of you for making God proud Anon

How do I fixed my selfabsored nature and narcism? I have been in an English program wanting to enter academia, but I’ve changes my mind. None of this will bring me this attention or greatness that I so desperately want. I couldn’t change my major at this point, but I did choose a general business minor. Going to go for an M.B.A. or the like after I finished my undergrade. I’ve been defeated in my hopes and I want to pursue something more satisfactory elsewhere, possibly by supporting a family. I’m friends with people in my classes, but I never venture to hang with them outside of school. I mostly just perfer to be alone. I ungratfully blame my supportive teachers and parents because I only want to remain in their spotlight forever. But eventually I’ll just have to move on, rather than playing on this “underappreciates genius” idea that I have of myself. As a result of this crisis, my reading has changed from general classical fiction to Christian works. The bible, Kierkegaard, and some other heavily allegorical books that incorporate biblical narratives have altered my conception of being loved. I can say that I believe in a God now, and thinking otherwise makes me uncomfortable (i just hope that I don’t lose this feeling). All i want at this point is to continue developing my faith and to have a steady job so that I might support a family someday. The only problem is that the negative effects of my self absorbed nature still persist despite the awareness I have of it. I hope it subtly goes away and that I’ll find something fulfilling soon that exists outside of myself.

Sorry for not proofing reading this, but i really have to go now. I love you /lit/, you guys are wonderful in one way or another

who cares lmao

Is there books that makes you not care? Not caring in like just living life and enjoy it for what it is?
