Is it time to give up on the Sabbath?
I don’t agree with this but it’s a better response than those usually given. Dr.James Anderson in his course on Ethics gives a talk about it: http://subsplash.com/reformtheosem/v/b92563a/ Continue reading Is it time to give up on the Sabbath?
Only punish the innocent!
The position contrary to Inherited Guilt usually operates with the understanding that we are not guilty of Adam’s transgression, but only our own and that we only receive the curse of the fall as a punishment. It seems to me a bit counterintuitive and runs into some problems. Let’s follow the logic: P1. We are punished because we are guilty or because we are innocent. P2.
