Jimmy Stephens on Steinmann

January 3, 2024 TheSire

I recently posted a pro-YEC scholar, but here was Jimmy Stephens take on it: https://watchmencouncil.com/2023/12/07/dr-andrew-steinmann-on-genesis/ This is good stuff. I found his comment about the framework hypothesis toward the beginning somewhat incomplete. It’s true that people who hold an FH … Continue reading Jimmy Stephens on Steinmann

Are you assuming Reliabilism?

January 3, 2024January 3, 2024 TheSire

Here were some of Jimmy Stephens thoughts about Pallmann’s views: First, let’s grant that reasoning is never justificatory. Acts of reason only occasion things that lend justification and those acts never themselves lend justification. Even if that were the case, … Continue reading Are you assuming Reliabilism?

There are no wrong notes?

January 3, 2024 TheSire

Jimmy Stephens: Philosophers are often not musicians, but being one, it’s so funny to see stuff like this. Wooten is a genius, but he completely misses the point. The reason why even his chromatic notes “work” is because they are … Continue reading There are no wrong notes?

Is Scripture our Highest Authority?

January 3, 2024January 4, 2024 TheSire

Short Summary: David initially delineates between two distinct forms of authority. An authority figure typically possesses expertise in a particular domain.

Does God know the secrets of the Heart?

December 14, 2023January 2, 2024 TheSire

During a recent conversation on the Gospel Truth channel about open theism, technical issues prevented my participation. Yet, I managed to pose some questions to Chris Fisher afterward. His stance suggests an inconsistency in God’s knowledge, particularly regarding understanding the … Continue reading Does God know the secrets of the Heart?

Eschatology, Jimmy StephensLeave a comment

Eschatology Indispensability

December 6, 2023 TheSire

Jimmy Stephens states: I think I found an even more striking, simpler version of the eschatological issue. I formulated it like three different ways, and now I think it just winds down to a ground motive problem. All humans possess … Continue reading Eschatology Indispensability

Is Atonement Necessary?

December 6, 2023 TheSire

From Jimmy Stephens: Cultures depend on their notion of love vs hatred, prosecution vs forgiveness, justice vs grace, etc. There are several intersecting tensions here, but the main issue is how to deal with guilt. All humans are guilty of … Continue reading Is Atonement Necessary?

Privation, Evil, & Proportionate Causality

December 6, 2023 TheSire

This is a modified form of the conversation on the ontology of evil that I’ve partaken in. It centers on the denial of the privation theory of evil. Which is: According to the Neoplatonists, evil does not exist as a … Continue reading Privation, Evil, & Proportionate Causality
