boil it down, would ya?

sometimes, you just want to say these words with new words...this is my attempt...in case my friend cherri wants to know...


theodicy- short word for suffering sucks and who is responsible for it?

prolegomena- a big name for learning the rules before you play the game

predestination- a prefix/root/suffix that add up to mean there are no accidents
* which makes dealing with the term theodicy that much more difficult

existential- thinking that revolves around, "i soooo did not ask to be here- now what?"

devil- see satan. flipping pages....see beelzebub. flipping pages....see devil. flipping pa...what? so i can't boil this one down...sorry...

imputation- this happens when someone becomes something that they really were not by means of judgment- biblically, humans are IMPUTED with righteousness...in grey's, meredith was IMPUTED with whoredom...seriously...flawed as she may be- nobody puts george in a corner like that...

universalism- people nowadays like to point out we either are going to heaven or going to hell...this term trumps these folks and makes a happy ending (heaven) for all of humanity- YIPEE!!

hermenuetics- this is one of my favorite words to say...go ahead, say it- her/muh/new/tiks...so much fun...who cares what it means...just kidding- it's how you interpret things..."what hermenuetical lens is being used here?"....cue cricket chirping..........um...mine is sarcasm right now, but i'll let you view through your own lens...

this is so much more fun than reading...

I've always thought "hermeneutics" sounded kinda dirty...not sure why...

Oh, those wretched hermeneutical lenses and bridges and circles. I don't think anyone really knows what hermeneutics is. My theory is that it's a catch-all for anything and everything. That said, my hermeneutical lens for Tuesday-Thursdays is, "For the love of God, why isn't it 10:50 yet!?!"

It's good to see that all is well and normal in theology. :-)
