Joecroft: “Eight” hmmm would have went for seven myself…
If desire is unclean unless moderated by ones "WILL". Then that suggests that there is a clean version of desire when it’s moderated by ones own “Will…”…right…?
Joecroft: But I think there are many aspects which motivate or drive a persons “Will”…and one of those things would have to be a persons desire…the two have a direct correlation to each other…
Joecroft: Desire is desirable. Desire can be satisfied, it doesn’t have to be bounded, and can be derived of/by Love. Desire can be clean and can help direct ones own “WILL”…IMO
Joecroft: Not sure which books you've been reading lol

Joecroft: Ok desiring dark chocolate for example and over indulging in it is bad, for your health and life style…but what if you desire peace…which in turn impacts your “Will” to follow a peaceful path…etc…?
Joecroft: You like/love to paint don’t you…it’s a passion I would argue it’s also a desire; are those things bad…surely not…

Joecroft: Yikes; I feel like I’m living in some alternate universe here…where the Laws in your realm, don’t apply to the Laws in mine lol So how is desire never satisfied and even if that’s the case, why is that a bad thing…?…I mean why does something have to be satisfied in order for it to be good or beneficial etc…

You are not even close to being at the 'Will' dictating state over Desire. The only reason you *desire* peace is that it is a thoughtful determined alternative to *WAR*; you now DESIRE Peace more than you DESIRE War.

I have no belief system in place (Dog or Catmatic). Desire to Will is different than learning to Will to Will. Once that is acheived one can transmute desires and transform inclinations into positive soul growth (instead of immediate gratification) becoming a master of Desire instead of its slave.
even sticking your head in the sand regarding the evidence that shows that it is clear, just like fans of evolutionary philosophies again when they don't like particular evidence that could allow a person to draw conclusive/correct conclusions from the evidence, to find out the truth of the matter, with certainty.
Trinity
Definition: The central doctrine of religions of Christendom. According to the Athanasian Creed, there are three divine Persons (the Father, the Son, the Holy Ghost), each said to be eternal, each said to be almighty, none greater or less than another, each said to be God, and yet together being but one God. Other statements of the dogma emphasize that these three “Persons” are not separate and distinct individuals but are three modes in which the divine essence exists. Thus some Trinitarians emphasize their belief that Jesus Christ is God, or that Jesus and the Holy Ghost are Jehovah. Not a Bible teaching.
...
What the Nicene Creed says:
“We believe . . . in one Lord Jesus Christ . . . that is of the substance of the Father, God of God, Light of Light, very God of very God.”
What the Bible says:
“My Father is greater than I [Jesus].”—John 14:28. * [* = Italics ours. All the quotations in this section are from the King James Version.]
“I [Jesus] ascend unto my Father, and your Father, and to my God, and your God.”—John 20:17.
“To us there is but one God, the Father.”—1 Corinthians 8:6.
“Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.”—1 Peter 1:3.
“These things saith the Amen [Jesus], . . . the beginning of the creation of God.”—Revelation 3:14.
QUICK FACTS:
...
“The Council of Nicea in 325 stated the crucial formula for [the yet future Trinity] doctrine in its confession that the Son is ‘of the same substance . . . as the Father.’”—Encyclopædia Britannica.
“The Christian Bible, including the New Testament, has no trinitarian statements or speculations concerning a trinitary deity.”—Encyclopædia Britannica.
“The doctrine of the trinity . . . is not a product of the earliest Christian period, and we do not find it carefully expressed before the end of the second century.”—Library of Early Christianity—Gods and the One God.
“In order to articulate the dogma of the Trinity, the [Catholic] Church had to develop her own terminology with the help of certain notions of philosophical origin.”—Catechism of the Catholic Church.
...
According to the Nouveau Dictionnaire Universel, “The Platonic trinity, itself merely a rearrangement of older trinities dating back to earlier peoples, appears to be the rational philosophic trinity of attributes that gave birth to the three hypostases or divine persons taught by the Christian churches. . . . This Greek philosopher’s [Plato, fourth century B.C.E.] conception of the divine trinity . . . can be found in all the ancient [pagan] religions.”—(Paris, 1865-1870), edited by M. Lachâtre, Vol. 2, p. 1467.
John L. McKenzie, S.J., in his Dictionary of the Bible, says: “The trinity of persons within the unity of nature is defined in terms of ‘person’ and ‘nature’ which are G[ree]k philosophical terms; actually the terms do not appear in the Bible. The trinitarian definitions arose as the result of long controversies in which these terms and others such as ‘essence’ and ‘substance’ were erroneously applied to God by some theologians.”—(New York, 1965), p. 899.

Joecroft: You’re the third person this week that’s assumed something about that isn’t true…More than…??? huh
I don’t desire War at all…(you’re move) The reason I desire peace is because I am “born again”, and understand it’s true meaning outside the context of any dogmatic religious belief system…

Joecroft: ”Compelled to create” lol hahhaha you’re killing me here...my sides are aching lol
So you’re just compelled to create and have no idea as to why; what a predicament lol
Joecroft: Simply question...Do you like or Love to paint…? And if so why…?
JC: You do realise that people can have good positive desires as well as negative ones right…?
vhb:
I have no belief system in place (Dog or Catmatic). Desire to Will is different than learning to Will to Will. Once that is acheived one can transmute desires and transform inclinations into positive soul growth (instead of immediate gratification) becoming a master of Desire instead of its slave.
JC: Yes I see, but when you say become master over desire you’re thinking in terms of mastering and controlling : negative desires…which is a good thing…but not all desires are bad IMO…Simply example from what you outlined above….transforming ones inclinations into positive soul growth…is a positive desire…

Joecroft: I did state in my last reply that I understand it outside of any Dogma…so not sure why you’re forcing the word Dogma onto my belief/position…Anyway “born again”…means to be spiritually reborn…nothing physical about it…IMO

Joecroft: Man…you seem to know a lot about me lol
Anyway, your answer bypasses the question or at least pushes the answer to the question further back…
Why do you wish to educate…? And cause inward contemplation in others…?…it’s because you desire lol those things right…?

Joecroft: When you stand before God stating it was just your JOB…that will not suffice lol
God asks “Why did you draw and paint those things, trying to bring others into the truth…?”
Your Reply “Well, it was my JOB” lol
Joecroft: God “So your heart was never in it…?”Your reply “No, it was just a JOB”
vhb:
Everything is polarized in order to cause change---even desire; either of which makes no difference to what I am trying to explain.
Joecroft: But what are you trying to explain…?…you didn’t answer any of those other questions about what drives the “Will” and the difference between that and “Absolute Will” etc…?

There is no desire in this. Did blind sooth sayer Apollonius ENJOY telling the horrible truth to those seeking his always bitter knowledge regarding their futures? (five cents please).
What question am I bypassing? Anyone that writes or communiates with imaging (whether advertising, fine art, Random House Publishing) is in the business of educating. There are the sell outs that are in it for money--that is not me.

There are three principles, Substance, Motion and Consciousness. They are equal under Law. You have attained Egohood, or conscious individuality and once accomplished enters into the plane of Will; rising above the plane of Desire. Two polarized opposites of the same principle (center being that of REASON). You can learn to create Desire by Will, and or restrain Desire by Will. You can master the Will to Will. Rise to the plane of Will, because it superseeds the plane of Desire and can then be harnessed. Ego combined with Desire IS NOT YOUR FRIEND.

The hand is the evil side so nobody sits at God's left. And I don't know if God does much sitting but I would say that he has been sitting for a little bit...long time.
1 Enoch…Chapter 24
Of the great secrets of God, which God revealed and told Enoch, and spoke with him face to face
1 And the Lord summoned me, and said to me: Enoch, sit down on my left with Gabriel.
whereislogic: I like to rise to the plane of La La Land...
when I'm dreaming. Or watching a good Sci-Fi or fantasy movie. Does that count for something?
whereislogic: Btw, regarding the phrase "born again" that is found only once in the entire bible, and mentioned somewhere else under the phrase "new birth"
