Definition: The word 'advancingly' comes from the Greek word "antagonistic" and refers to a way in which something opposes itself or its opposite. It's like having two opposing forces pushing against each other but they're not fighting or trying to hurt you, just working together to get to your goal. In context of philosophy and theology, it means to be at a point where both the actions or thoughts of individuals are moving forward in direction toward a particular outcome. For example, if someone is advancing spiritually through prayer and discipline, they might say "Advancingly," as it refers to a state where one person's behavior or actions align with their spiritual growth. In everyday language, it can also mean to be ready for something to happen, especially when you're waiting for something like the arrival of an important event or announcement. It often means that things are in motion toward some desired result, but we don't know exactly what it will be until they actually occur.
