Paradoxical Unitarianism

This is continuing from a prior discussion I had with a ContraModalism: http://spirited-tech.com/COG/2018/12/03/contramodalisms-dilemma/ He has added some new responses to this dilemma but his response is unexpected: Created, as in caused by the Father, before time existed, yes. Yeah. I see this as a change in terminology, mainly. The word ‘create’ is simply a synonym for ’cause’, and as you are familiar with, I have long held that the Son is caused by the Father. I would not say He is created from nothing. I think the Son’s generation from the Father is a mystery. This seems to me to be an … Continue reading Paradoxical Unitarianism

Mohammed Hijab vs David Wood

The least impressive debaters of the Abrahamic religions are Muslims. It is not something to watch and be edified but to endure. There was a debate between Dr. David Wood and Mohammed Hijab on the issue of the Trinity vs Tawhid. Hijab’s case is being debunked claim by claim by multiple sources. I’m going to share criticisms of Hijab and leave it up to the listener. 1. The most annoying thing about listening to Muslim is the fact that accurate representation of other worldviews are impossible and they employ such silly double standards that it is impossible not to choke … Continue reading Mohammed Hijab vs David Wood

ContraArianism, Part 3

Here is another installment of my conversation with ContraModalism. ContraModalism: “I don’t understand what you think you’ve actually established. Your objection that being God isn’t an ontological statement but merely one about relations is unconvincing.” Well I’ve presented you with the evidence I see for Godhood being dominion, and have been able to easily answer every supposed objection to it you have brought forward. So find it unconvincing if you like, but it seems to me you lack a reason. “You already granted that the phrase is actually about ontology.” I don’t know where you get the idea that I’ve … Continue reading ContraArianism, Part 3

ContraArianism, Part 2

I engaged in another back and forth with ContraModalism. ContraModalism: I did not say that God is dominion, but that divinity or Godhood is dominion. In other words a God is a being which possesses dominion, and deity or divinity is dominion. As for your question of if the Son shares all the ontological attributes with the Father required to exercise dominion, I have already answered you several times on this in the affirmative. And I agree that the Son possesses the same divinity as the Father, in that He shares in the Father’s dominion over all things. Your problem … Continue reading ContraArianism, Part 2

ContraArianism, Part 1

I have been continued the conversation from a previous post and we’ll see how long this conversation will continue: http://spirited-tech.com/COG/2018/10/31/godhood-and-dominion/ ContraModalism: I do not appreciate your constant misrepresentations of my position, and your failure to meaningfully respond to many of the points I’ve brought up. For instance I have cited scriptural reasons why I understand Godhood/divinity to be relative and relational, and to be dominion, and you have for the most part ignored these and tried to dismiss my observations on what scripture teaches as a mere invention on my part designed to support my views. This is not the … Continue reading ContraArianism, Part 1

Godhood and Dominion

I asked some questions to two Unitarian apologists that believe themselves to be a Trinitarian. TheSire: How close is their similarity? Do they possess all the same(generic) Divine properties? What distinguishes you from a tritheist? ContraModalism: “God begot God, that the Lord begot the Lord, that the King begot the King, that the Creator begot the Creator, that the Good begot the Good, that the Wise begot the Wise, that the Merciful begot the Merciful, and that the Powerful begot the Powerful.” (Maximinus) The Son is like the Father in that He is the Image of the Father, the exact … Continue reading Godhood and Dominion
