The Council of Google+: Regeneration temporal vs logical
Village Atheist Warrior
Here an atheist answered 5 questions my friend asked him and here are the results: “Your questions seemed like contorted, flowery pseudo-intellectual word games crafted to trip up atheists. I feel like these ‘questions’ have been geared to a predetermined answer of, “Because God did it.’ But… I’ll bite. 1. “How do you know your epistemological standard is the correct standard to have? State what the standard is and prove its truthfulness.” My epistemological standard is correct because it works, because the knowledge I gain from it is useful and leads me to new knowledge that also works and is … Continue reading Village Atheist Warrior

“Start with”
Atheist use to present to me the problem of starting points. They use to argue that we must start with ourselves or we must start with logic. That is because if we start anywhere else we would enter incoherence. You would have Christianity without logic and you wouldn’t know Christianity was your starting point because you didn’t know that you exist. The Christian says that he starts with God. How could he start with God at the expense of your own existence and laws of logic? The issue with this criticisms is that they confuse what is meant by “start … Continue reading “Start with”

Compatibalist and Semi-Compatibalist
Over at T-blog a good conversation that I wish not to be lost in a comment section. Paul Manata and Peter Pike are two very intelligent men that had an interesting conversation about freedom and responsibility. http://triablogue.blogspot.com/2009/06/divided-front-libertarians-at-odds-with.html Peter said: Paul said: — Mentally insane people choose “what they desire,” yet I wouldn’t call them free or responsible (at least civically responsible. Responsible before God would entail a larger story, Adam, the fall, headship, so forth). — Just to show that not all us T-bloggers are in lockstep….. I would disagree in that I WOULD call such actions “free.” However, I would agree … Continue reading Compatibalist and Semi-Compatibalist

Vocalization and Genesis 1:1
I asked a question over at T-blog and someone gave a nice response on an issue regarding Genesis 1:1-2. Here was my question: Doesn’t the vocalization of the Hebrew of Genesis 1:1 being בְּרֵאשִׁ֖ית and not לָרֵאשִׁ֣ית give more credence to it being “When God began”? JeremiahZ9 responded: The short answer is no. I wish scholars would be a bit more careful and honest. Reshit is a noun whose semantic range is quite often inherently definite. When you are talking about “a beginning” it is always “the beginning” of something. In fact, reshit only occurs vocalized with an article once … Continue reading Vocalization and Genesis 1:1
