Copy this one too.
noun: synergism
The interaction or cooperation of two or more organizations, substances, or other agents to produce a combined effect greater than the sum of their separate effects."The synergy between artist and record company."
Synonyms:
cooperative interaction, cooperation, combined effort, give and take
Origin:
Mid 19th century: from Greek sunergos ‘working together,’ from sun- ‘together’ + ergon - ‘work.’ |
The definition alone shows that the word itself is not ONLY used in relation to God and mankind.
So right off the bat we see that PPS's statement is false.
But let's not jump the gun on that.
PPS tries to insist that in the theology rings, it has a definite meaning that fits his view.
But as also shown within the very ring of the Reformed, it's not cut and dry
Some in the Reformed camp also believe that God acts both ways with mankind.
Some Calvinists teach that Monergism only applies to regeneration, and that sanctification is synergistic.
Reformed Baptist Andrew Naselli expressed this view when he wrote:
"A monergistic veiw of regeneration is biblical, but a monergistic view of sanctification is not." |
Just because one theology ring uses the same word that other theology rings use does not mean that they both have the same view of the word.
In other words, the word's theological meaning is not universal among all theology rings.
That's what happens when you try to put so much limitation on a word as to force it to fit your own view.
By using the definition of the word as the dictionary states, it most certainly can be used of other groups working together, and is not limited to the relation between God and mankind only.
One family, of mankind (father, mother, child), can work together.
One family, of the Godhead (Father, Son, Holy Spirit), can work together.
God and man can word together.
It is not limited to ONLY the relationship between God and mankind.
Making up your own theology meanings to words does not negate the actual meaning of the word, which is simply "working together".
Oh, I'm copying this for sure.
I'm just deciding whether it's worth the time and effort to destroy this crap for the sake of any others who might be deceived by it.
There are layers of epic heresy, just from you using the dictionary definition, since Father, Son, and Holy Spirit aren't organizations or agents; and substances would have to be according to pre-Cappadocian (Nicean) English translation as ousia, NOT hypostasis.
Hence, it begins by being Tritheism; and that's not even the worst of it.
True historians and theologians would not make this horrendous error to destroy the very incommunicable attributes of God with fallacious ignorance.
There is NOTHING theologically more egregious than you have done in this thread. NOTHING. You are heretically beyond ANY of the cults or Gnostics. And you think your casually employment of a word to project upon God is accurate in contrast to the cautious efforts of two millennia of scholars.
This is the difference between me and all you rogue Modernist idiot heretics, and why you despise me so. I stand on the shoulders of ALL the theologians and historians of the entirety of the Christian ages.
This gaffe alone is enough to be considered anathema beyond salvific faith.
I'll probably take the time to correct this, even though it will be futile for you personally as an utter reprobate.
Steko and Right-Divider, you should be ashamed. It's YOU who should be correcting this woman. It's YOU who should be standing for God's Necessity and Simplicity if you ARE indeed Believers.
This is no time for ganglandstyle sticking together for Dispensationalists. This woman has thrown God to the wolves in a way that exceeds the JWs, the LDSers, and even the Atheists.
This is heinous. Shame on you other Dispies for not shutting her down FOR HER OWN SAKE.
