The Silicon Delusion: The Temptation of Misplaced Response and the Limits of Judgment

Q: Can Logos-Linguistic Structure Theology (LLST) respond to contemporary issues, such as the rapid development of AI?

Others imagine a future where we gradually replace our organs with mechanical parts—arms,

Between Aesthetic Transcendence and Violent Usurpation: A Hidden Thread of Connivance ——How Natural Theism Paved the Way for Political Totalitarianism

Q: I recently read Emerson’s essays, especially his renowned piece On Nature. His prose strikes me as ethereal and aesthetically refined.

From Dream to Eternity: Truth, Being Struck, and the Beautiful Vanishing World

In the previous articles, we explored the question of the world’s reality—including the material world, virtual worlds (the metaverse), alternate realities, and the world of AI.

No Divine Utterance, No True Reality — Only Dreams and Shadows Remain

The Ontological Turn in the Doctrine of Good and Evil: From Moral Will to Linguistic Structure

Q: Just now we discussed the Manichaean view of good and evil, which was very interesting.

In contrast, Structural Theology holds that evil is a misaligned response

Structure Precedes History: On the Generation of History from a Structural Theology Perspective

Q: Last night, I carefully read the Book of Daniel. While reading, I also looked up some background materials, but I encountered certain problems. For instance, Daniel says that Nebuchadnezzar went insane, but many historical records suggest that the real Nebuchadnezzar never lost his mind. How should this be understood?

Not Self-Emptying, But Rhythmic Conformation: A Structural Theological Reinterpretation of Kenosis

Q: Recently I encountered a theological term—Kenosis. What exactly does this concept mean? A: The term originates from Philippians 2:6–7: “Who, being in very nature God, did not consider equality with God something to be used to his own advantage; rather, he made himself nothing by taking
