Do you believe he isn't using logic in this excerpt?

The title addresses the existance of God not who or what God is. KC

1 st paragraph says we cannot know what god is therefore the thesis is mute and says what God isnt. KC

[kwaichang]

Also XIA God is spirit spirit is formless and therefore not a body. KC

Well MS I must have woo'ed you as your statements are. KC

my statements are what?
Stop speaking in half sentences.
You speak of logic yet fail to use it in your arguments.
SD in and of itself is fundamentally flawed in both techniques and practice.
There are exceptions to the rule, but magical, mumbo jumbo, mystical, spirit riding bafoons like yourself are the rule, and people like you are the exact reason why no one takes SD seriously.
Dont tell me you have fought, because by your posts I know you havent. Dont tell me you know what you are talking about, because by your posts I know you dont. Dont tell me you understand the interaction of 2 or more humans during a confrontation, because I know you know nothing of the sort based upon what you have stated here, and dont tell me about practicing for anything other than health, because you have no idea what you are talking about. I can tell you all about new age artists and who they are, but that doesnt mean Im not full of ****. It just takes someone who knows more than me to call me out, which is the situation you now face, sir.

How is spirit formless?
I dont offer an answer, I just expect you to back up yours.
And please, try and make sense this time.

MS you think you know me then what ever I say you will argue and why should I explain why spirit is formless to you since you say
"because I know you know nothing of the sort based upon what you have stated here, and dont tell me about practicing for anything other than health, because you have no idea what you are talking about." You have said it all here. But you are wrong an many levels. Give training another 20 years then you will probably feel the same way I do if you put forth more than physical effort. KC

I stated that St. Thomas Aquinas uses logic in examining God. We could get into the details of his writings but there is no way you are going to prove that he isn't using logic. The reason you won’t be able to is because he is using logic. In order for a philosophy to be valid, it has to have reason. St. Thomas Aquinas is considered one of the world’s greatest thinkers. He wouldn’t be if there was no logic behind his words. If you want to see his logic, read his works. If you want to see how logic is behind philosophy, read the works of other philosophers as well.

[kwaichang]

I did not say he did not use Logic I said he himself said he could not explain God as he states in your post. Logic is the primary step to philosophy but once it has served its purpose it is discarded very quickly. KC

lol...
Ive trained about 16 years as it is dude. Ive done qigong, and continue to do so. I call is meditating, but its not for martial arts. Its for health and happiness, and for relaxation. Dont try to justify being just another couch jocky that reads books about flying ninjas and how you too can become one for just one low payment of $29.95.

Does he post on the board? Let him speak for himself!

OF THE SIMPLICITY OF GOD (EIGHT ARTICLES)



When the existence of a thing has been ascertained there remains the further question of the manner of its existence, in order that we may know its essence. Now, because we cannot know what God is, but rather what He is not, we have no means for considering how God is, but rather how He is not.
See here it is. KC

Hey MS you dont seem to be too happy also I refer you to my posts on page 289 KC
