Reductionist Christianity

TheSire

It is commonplace for an apologist of the non-reformed camp to maintain that inerrancy is not essential to apologetics. This is because they are arguing for something called “Mere Christianity”. This they believe reduces to the Gospel. I think that is ironic as they usually don’t even argue for that as they don’t include the issue of works salvation as a corruption of the Gospel. They collaborate with Catholics and Eastern Orthodox. It seems that “mere Christianity” doesn’t seem to even account for what Paul thought was essential to the Gospel. The other point presented is to distinguish between theology … Continue reading Reductionist Christianity

Euthyphro Dilemma

TheSire

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
