Same mindset, different conclusions
ying and yang, opposite but part of the same whole
I'm gonna report you for using Eastern Symbolism=New Age Philosophy=You are a deceived Christian

Very interesting. Makes theological sense to me.

Maybe with the comparison of those doctrines, but not where God Himself is concerned. In yin and yang those little dots there represent there is some darkness in the light, and some light in the darkness. God is light and in Him is no darkness at all. And there is no light in evil at all.

It's a mess where darkness belongs as much as the light does. No happiness without the experience of pain etc.

I actually looked at the YinYang for a refresh. It is a philosophical construct that serves as a way to show how particular terms relate to each other. It is NOT inherently a religious term, but religions can use it as a basis or reference point for their religious content. Taoism uses yin yang extensively, so Christian theologies tend to avoid the term to avoid the association.
BUT, We here at LFF know how to use various tools at our disposal without fear of misjudgment. :)

To me Christianity is liberty in the light, liberty from the darkness. Totally different. There are many colors of light and they may balance each other. The darkness is an alien element.
