Revelational Christology
I was arguing with some Unitarians recently and they were using a few proof texts. Hebrews 1:3 states: And He is the radiance of His glory and the exact representation of His nature, and upholds all things by the word of His power. When He had made purification of sins, He sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high, This is common anti-trinitarian prooftext. The idea is that Jesus is a “copy” of God as unitarian Greg Stafford argued with Dr. James White. Here Steve Hays speaks on it: As to Heb 1:3, we need to keep … Continue reading Revelational Christology
An Example of Apologetic Conversation On Moral Antirealism
Recently an unbelieving buddy of mine, with whom I chat over the net rather frequently, invited me to a thread over on The Thinking Atheist. The topic reads, Challenge to proponents of objective morality, and the OP sets up a trifold “challenge” for proponents of moral realism. Based on the contributing minds over at The Thinking Atheist forums as well as comments following the OP, it remains dubious to me whether anyone has a clear idea what is even meant by “objectivity” under the topic of (meta-) ethics, but nevertheless, my buddy convinced me to throw in two cents as … Continue reading An Example of Apologetic Conversation On Moral Antirealism

Two Books
I have for a long time held a hatred for the metaphor of the “two books” that those who consider themselves scientifically enlightened use as some sort of theological point. It usually is a ploy to undermine the inerrancy and authority of scripture. I have talked about it here. I wish to share Steve Hays’ thoughts on the issue: “God gave humanity two primary sources of revelation about himself: the world that he created and the Scripture that he inspired. These are also known as the Book of Nature and the Book of Scripture…God is a God of truth. As the author of … Continue reading Two Books

Euthyphro Dilemma
Here is the way it usually is put: Socrates’s problem with the traditional stories about the gods gives rise to what is sometimes called ‘the Euthyphro dilemma’. If we try to define the holy as what is loved by all the gods (and goddesses), we will be faced with the question ‘Is the holy because it is loved by the gods, or do they love it because it is holy?’ (Euthyphro, 10a). Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy This was convincing to the Greeks because the pagan gods they believed in were mutable, finite, and immoral entities. This doesn’t apply so easily … Continue reading Euthyphro Dilemma
