Cahill’s review

TheSire

I asked a Pelagian friend to give his thoughts on my article about original sin. This is my review of his review. http://shawncahill.blogspot.com/2017/04/original-sin-review.html?m=1 “I wish to look at OT evidence for the concept of Original Sin. Some say that God only punishes us for our own sins that are done in our own lives.” The author then goes on to list many verses showing people who faced a temporal judgment for the actions of their ancestors, which I do not deny. The point is he may believe that we are only punished for our own sin. This disproves the contrary … Continue reading Cahill’s review

The Fall of the Watchtower

TheSire

Here is a conversation I had with a Jehovah’s witness. I am gonna add to it a bit to help benefit others. I’m gonna try to model how a conversation with one should occur. A preliminary question is in order. How do we distinguish God from creatures? I think we in order need to discern certain positions, attributes, and prerogatives that God has that no other being has. This is the common approach of New Testament scholarship: Essentially a Christology of divine identity includes Jesus in the unique identity of God as understood in Second Temple Judaism. It takes up the … Continue reading The Fall of the Watchtower
