What's the difference?

Post by **_PAULESPINO** » Fri Sep 07, 2007 3:33 pm

Given:
a) Group A and Group B

Statements:
a) I will choose only group A to attend my party.

b) I will choose anyone to attend my party from any group as long as
they pledge their allegiance to this fraternity group.

Question:

1)What's the difference?

2) Can we relate the given statements to Christian faith?

I think your statements above are too broad for a straight logic discussion.

Does group A or B already agree with you?
Are A & B mutually exclusive?
Is the “I” God?

But being broad means the discussion can anywhere you like it to go.

In the first statement they don't have to agree.
In the second statement they have to agree.
Yes.
The "I" is any human but can be apllied to God if it is applicable.

If Groups A and B are already defined, and assuming that "this fraternity group" means Group A, then the difference is as follows:

In case a), only people from Group A may go to the party.

In case b), some people from Group B may go to the party.

What's your point?

Okay then the first case if you invite Group A because they agree with you and Group B doesn't, what do you do with those in Group A that chose not to attend?

The second case whomever want to join your group can do so.

now what?

I'm going to share my thoughts.

a) I will choose only group A to attend my party.

b) I will choose anyone to attend my party from any group as long as
they pledge their allegiance to this fraternity group.

a) assuming that my friends belong to group A that is why I chose group A.

b) In the 2nd statement I have not chosen anyone to attend my party yet. But as soon as the members of group A and B decided to join my party then that's the only time they will be consider as chosen.

Let's consider my party as a body or organization. In the second statement I have created a body or organization in which the initial member is me and no one else but as soon as the members of group A and B decided to join then they become the members of the body or organization I created.

I think it is the same with the Body of Christ. God chose the Body of Christ first in which the initial member is the Trinity but as soon as the people accepts Christ through Faith then they become chosen and members of the Body of Christ.
