The Depravity of Man
If I was ever asked about evidence for the truth of Christianity, then I just point to the variety of the lines of evidence for it. I can always look at the truth of the testimony God provided us about Human nature. That man isn’t essentially good, but since the fall man has been totally depraved. So, no better worldview has explained the nature of man and evil so well. I don’t subscribe to the answer he gives to the problem of evil but he gives great statements of evil than answer about it. I’ll provide to resources I use … Continue reading The Depravity of Man

Eutychianism
I’m no stranger to questioning tradition and conclusions of councils. I have said that I reject Nicene Orthodoxy and related issues in the past. Recently, one of my friends has been flirting with Eutychianism. That is the idea that Christ has only one nature that possesses both human and Divine properties.
