Subject: [socialcredit] immanence
"An immanent God is a God that enters time."
(Jim)
I don't think this is a correct use of the word "immanent."
"Immanent" is the opposite of "transcendent." An immanent God is a God
that "abides within" (from maneo, "remain"), just as immanent
sovereignty is sovereignty is sovereignty that abides within.
Yes, and the way I'm using the term
"immanent" is "abides within" time. Jesus Christ, and the doctrine of
Incarnation, it the belief that God enters time (i.e. is born and
dies).
Douglas's rejection of "exteriorization of
Divinity" is a rejection of the transcendent God.
The doctrine of
Incarnation is very important to Kierkegaard and his concept of
Christianity.
Take
care,
Jim
