Time-Machine Critique

-Theist TTB is, essentially, Strict PK.
>Strict PK relies on the idea that God leads us to very specific and lasting answers.
>The idea is that, when we arrive at an answer, God has guided us to it.
>The fact that many religions exist is argued away since "we can't know what other people are thinking," which is somewhat true.
>However, jump in a time machine, back to when I or anybody else was ten years younger, and you'll remember how you arrived at answers that you no longer believe in. I certainly don't, I was still a Xtrian at that time!
>
== Didn't U Refuse To Question Xtrianity At The Time?: ==
-There were times when I legitimately questioned Xtrianity but the arguments of the church brought me back. The point is, sometimes I was allowed to arrive at a wrong conclusion!
-Also, I started question in charles, still took me a decade to finally leave becuase of the confusion and wrong answers!
-
-The point of the Time-Machien Critique is to show that, on some occassions, in the past I have tried to get an answer to a theological question and was allowed to arrive at a wrong answer which was not corrected until some time later. This puts the chink in the armor of Strict PK.
-
-And there were times in the past when the miracles, stories nd arguments of the church swayed me.
-There were also times when Natural Theology just could't answer a question, which is often!
-
-Remember, one of the chief arguments was that God wouln't have let Xtrianity dominate the world if it was wrong. A sound NT argument! Ad it was wrong! And I believed it for a long time!
-
-Remember, all of Theist TTB is really Strict PK.
-
-
-
=== But Eventually I Was Corrected!: ===
-It doesn't matter that God may or may not have corrected you at a later date. All that matters is that for a long length of time, you were allowed to arrive at and hold to a metaphysical and theological falsehood. 
>Because once that happens just once, it can happen again. 
-
=== What Matters Is Asking God Specifically About That: ===
-The problem with this thinking is that there might be problems I can't see, whose solutions or truths will radically alter God ttb away from Theist. The onus for Strict PK must be on God, not us mortals. 
-We can't know all the relevant questions to ask.
-
=== Theological Upheaval: ===
-What TM-C proves beyond reasonable questioning is that God is totally willing to let us arrive at a TTB or identity and then revel truths to us that totally upend that identity. Notions that God is afaid of losing our trust are, surprise, totally bunk. He has done it to me, He will thus be willing to do it again.
-What this means for Theist TTB is that, despite any argumentation on Theist's part, there will always be the threat of OESDE, other truths out there that somehow invalidate that argument. Arguing that God wouldn't actualize such truths is now meaningless. 
-
=== What Happened XX Years Ago Was Not Lack Of Discernment: ===
-To be clear, I held to this argument for years, coming back and even praying (I was still Xtrian) that God could show me the true way at any time. Still, afterwards, I held to the idea that Abrahamism, and Christianity in particular, must be God's specific religion becaue He would not allow untruths to become the dominant form of religion on earth.
-
=== But We Know A Supreme Exists, Why Not Just Be Theist with Adept-System?: ===
-We don't know what's out there, what other truths there are. We also don't truly know what God wants, not in its entirety. What if we dedicate to Theist TTB and someday find out that that, specifically, is not what He wants? It's at least in the cards of potentiality?
-In truth... in real-life, the idea of simply being Theist is fine until you try connecting. If you think the Only-Half of Creator TTB can be an annoyance, imagine trying to use the silly Names of Theist, and good luck finding God-themed stuff in our secular age. Stuff that's immediately about God and not closer to another established paradigm.
-Theological upheavels tend to make Theist unsavory, and without Theist, Adept-Systems seems pointless. Why not just be Creator which is Adept-Sytem but with an internal conflict to generate identity?
-Unknowability kills Theist, especially in the face of TM-C. While God an be followed from a distance as Creator TTB, Theist requires too much trust. We don' tknow what other factors or truths could be out there that could change the situation and we are completely ignorant of them. Thus is the nature of not knowing in the face of infinity.

=== Discarded Notes: ===
Time-Machine Refutation:
-It doesn't matter if God had good motives or leading me through RC for a length of time, because now the question is - is He doing the same somehow with Theist?
>That's the issue at stake here, how do we know Theist is God's TTB? If NT and spirituality led me to a false conclusion before... it could happen again!
-
RC & Xtrianity Are All Forms of Theism:
-It's true that RC is a form of Theist, which is God's TTB, but I was specifically asking if it was God's specific form of Theist (of which there are an infinite number of variations). At that time, my understanding of NT led me to RC, which later proved wrong. Thus, it now calls into question if current Theist or Theist altogether could also be wrong!
-
But We Already Know Theist Will Always Be Needed:
-Unknowability still kicks in, there must be things out there that if actualized could ruin Theist. At the very least, do you want to live with the uncertainty?
-It's true that Ind. already proves the existnece of a Supreme, and so Theist is necesssary and is backed up by the Adept-System...
>Never truly knowing what God is can drain the life out of Theist, unlik with infinity which is coposed of many things, there's just something about having a singular object of your TTB which you can never know that really darkens the mood.
-
The Flagship Argument:
-Why not just be Adept-Systems (ADept TTB) with Theist as your "flagship" order?
>The problem here is that your flagship is really the entirety of what you dedicate your life to, and no one wants to dedicate their life to something that is false or wrong.
-Better to just be Creator TTB and have all of your real work revolve around that.
-
But What About Letting The Darkness In?
-Did theological upheavel happen years ago or not?
-The uncertainty that comes with STrict PK lets The Darkness in anyway in the long-run!
-The idea that anything less than Strict PK can defeat the Darkness is intellectually dishonest, INd. alone is needed to beat the Darkness.
>The idea that we need to know more beyond INd. fails due to Unknowability. We don't know all the factors the Supreme is operating on, we can only trust Him to be good.
-
Theist without STrict PK Doesn't Last:
-Found this out at the metal plant.
-Unknowability eats through Theist in real-life without STrict PK because, at some point, in the face of infinity the uncertainty makes Theist feel untenable and pointless.
-No one wants to dedicate the bulk of their life's work to Theist and discover that the real-life Supreme is totally distant and ants nothing to do with mortals at all. That would suck to waste the cornerstone of your life away like that.
>Remember, teahing people to be Theist involves a relationship with God. But if strict Deism is the norm, then what's the point of trying to be Theist beyond metaphysical reasons? It's pointless in the grind of real life?
-What if God doesn't want to interact with us but instead through His subordinates? Most religions preach something like that? In the fact of that reality, what's the point to being Theist specifically? Also, being Theist may make your close-minded to working with those other powers!?
-Remember that Creator is also immediately about God, as Creator is about existene and God is the pinnacle and only example of True Existence.
-Trust me, just because a Supreme exists doesn't mean there aren't scenarios where Theist is useless as a TTB anyway. OESDE!
>Yes, there could be scenarios where Creator is also useless as a TTB, but it's a case of this is the best we can do. This is obvious to the mind.
-OESDE kills Adept-System.
-
But Isn't Theist The Will of God?:
-What about that one time I asked if Creator was TTB and got a strong answer Yes, along with a laugh?
-If that was God, His ttb is Creator. If it wasn't, then how can we know other answers aren't false as well?
-
-How do you ever know for sure you know the will of God? What concrete method is there!?!
-
Theist Feels Like God's Will:
-For the longest time, so did the RC.
-It's not God's will but a latent belief held over from your previous life, the core of Abrahmism which is solus deus.
-
-How sure can you be this is God's will? Once upon a time, you felt the same about the RC!?
-
-Even if God is a 100% theistic God, that's no gaurantee that Theist is His TTB. Theological Upheaval has lready been proven, as per Time-Machine Critique. It can happen again!
-
-God's will, maybe, but nobody wants to waste what could be their only life championing a TTB that turns out to be false or wrong.
-
-Creator is also about God but has the added benefit of a Backup Plan.
-
-While PK is a thing, there's no real way to concretely prove that Theist is God's TTB. Not from an intellectual standpoint.
-
-
Adept-System Refuted:
-ADept=System is tempting because it looks like you getting all you want, Theist plust still being about all things.
-But this isn't true.  Unknowability and Theological-Upheaval are a thing.
-There are also potential scenarios where a Supreme does exist but Theist as a TTB is next to useless, such as God being totally removed and wanting us to act only with His subordinates.
-In that scenario, I would spend my life teaching people a specific TTB that was mostly pointless.
-No one wants to waste what could be their only life teaching a wrong TTB.  Better to be Creator and try to take all of reality as it comes.
-
-PK is dead thanks to Time-Machine Critique.  Theist is now fallng back on the argument of "why not just be Adept/Theist?"
-
-Ind. and the Great-Hope are what we need to beat The Darkness.  But Theist doesn't work, I've experience this at the metal plant, too much unknowability.  
-
-Let's not forget the Endless-Questions!
-
-In A Nutshell:
-We need a TTB for all of infinity. Creator has an auto-adjust that tries to match it to any potential scenario, but Theist doesn't have this.  There are scenarios that kill Theist, and some of them still count even if a Supreme does exist.
