Eastern Thinking

Quote From: elffie

I think there may have been a misunderstanding also.  I was trying to point out about your whole "eastern thinking" view.  I still don't know why you refer to it as "thinking" when it is still going solid to this day.  I am trying to tell you that  without one there would not be another.  Especially when "western thinking" has come from "eastern thinking".  Everything started in the East.  Anyway, just wanted to straiten that out.  I see your Theology classes are paying off.

First of all 'Eastern Thinking' is the actual name of it as is the 2 words 'Western Thinking'.  You can call it what you will but I am not adding the Thinking, it is part of the description of what it actually is, it is describing a state of mind/belief. 

Ok, yes, life started in the east. Great, we'd be fools to disagree with this. So What! Just because many people in middle eastern countries now practice Eastern Thinking does not mean that they did 6,000 yeasrs ago. The oldest historical reference to man (The Bible) shows that man originally was created using Western Thinking as God told them what they could and could not do. That was truth. If they obeyed, they could stay in the garden, if they disobeyed, they were kicked out and cursed. Are you going to tell me that if Adam had said "That's ok for God but for me, eating of the tree's fruit is ok," he could have stayed in the garden because what God said wasn't 'right' for him? 

Regardless of what you say, I do know that you live your life with some truths. How old are you? Is that objective? Think about it!
