[responsivevoice_button] I engaged in a conversation about the logicality of creation from nothing and the PSR. Grant Hageman stated the following: Seriously? Ex Nihilo is illogical? 😂 So if you understand “ex nahilo” to be at odds with “out of … Continue reading Out of Nothing
[responsivevoice_button] An ancient problem that permeates the history of philosophy is the one and many. It deals with the nature of all things of just the thing that would be reality. So, I am going to share this quote about … Continue reading The One and Many
It is presented by some enthusiasts that the Jews were just materialists. That no Jew in the 1st century thought God was a being that transcending the physical world. But that isn’t actually true because various perspectives existed in 2nd temple Judaism. The late NT scholar Larry Hurtado said in one of his works: Of course, once again, this draws on and reflects a developed Jewish view of the biblical deity, which has roots far back into prohibitions against making any image, in texts such as Deuteronomy 4:15-20, and in the dramatic account in Exodus 33:12-23 where God refuses Moses’ … Continue reading Early Jewish Monotheism and Materialism
I recently discussed the issue of 1 Cor. 10:13 again with John Cranman: John Cranman TheSire, the first paragraph is not what I’m arguing. All I’m saying is that this verse affirms PAP/CCFW, and is thus incompatible with compatibilist determinism. I am not arguing for moral responsibility. I am only arguing that it supports the idea that believing agents had two or more options they could’ve chosen – which falsifies compatibilist determinism. TheSire: The article argues the freedom Paul writes is that of believers. But usually, your side maintains all mankind has LFW. So, unbelievers would lack LFW. John Cranman: … Continue reading ‘Provide the way of escape’

Jimmy Stephens tackles a worldview where comprehensive knowledge is had amongst an infinite amount of minds. TheQuestioner: Yeah, the I mean the former of replacing an omniscient mind with the idea of a societal distribution of comprehensive knowledge. Essentially, in this case, each proposition is known. Jimmy Stephens: 1.) It would be a fallacy of division to suppose that because all propositions belong to the whole of human society that each individual inherits the comprehensive set. In fact, that sounds like a good skeptical scenario: one where humanity might, as a sort of hive mind, know things, but no human … Continue reading Hive Mind
The following is from Chris Matthew and his conversation with some atheist. He’s an up-and-coming presuppositionalist: There are a couple of remarks that merit response, @FondestAlloy. 1.) Do you deny the possibility of knowing whether something is objectively true? 2.) … Continue reading The Unity of Knowledge
Michael Jones recently was interviewed by Braxton Hunter and Johnathan Prichett. It was an interview styled like MSNBC interviewing Obama. You have to wonder if Hunter and Prichett even have arms with the softballs they threw for Jones. They start … Continue reading Michael Jones on Idealism
J.C. Thibodaux has responded to an article I wrote against his view of aseity. https://arminianperspectives.wordpress.com/2019/07/26/calvinisms-inconsistencies-on-gods-attributes/ The first of his objections involves people ‘explaining’ God. Van Til thinks of aseity as God being self-contained. Nothing can further explain God other than himself but on Thibodaux scheme, God being is explained by creatures. But how can a being that is a se or self-explained be further explained by created things(people and their choice)? It isn’t really clear what he’s asking. If he’s talking about how we define God, He most certainly is, in some ways, defined by His creation. “God, furthermore, said … Continue reading Thibodaux’s Cooked Goose
