I am having a dialogue in regard to the issue with Unitarianism: TheSire: I think (1) it’s somewhat the most promising route here provided but Neoplatonism probably isn’t correct: http://pushingtheantithesis.blogspot.com/2021/08/islam-neoplatonism-and-concept-of.html Islam, Neoplatonism, and the Concept of an Absolute God (pushingtheantithesis.blogspot.com) … Continue reading Is the Love Argument for the Trinity Refuted?
I’ve been dialoguing with an LDS. Here is his latest objection: Not true. Most of these verses refer to Jesus in his glorified and resurrected state: John 14:28; 20:17; Rom. 15:6; 2 Cor. 11:31; Eph. 1:2–3, 17; 5:20; Col. 1:2–3; … Continue reading The Father is Greater than I
John 17:20 “I do not pray for these alone, but also for those who will believe in Me through their word; 21 that they all may be one, as You, Father, are in Me, and I in You; that they also may be one in Us, … Continue reading Behold His Glory: Thoughts on John 17:22
I may have some thoughts on this debate at another time. If not, then just enjoy the show. Continue reading Is Jesus the God of the Bible?
I’ve had a dialogue on the Shema and whether it is the background of 1 Cor. 8:6 http://spirited-tech.com/Council/index.php/2020/06/13/the-christian-shema/ The Unitarian has now moved on to used James D. G. Dunn to try to undermine the idea that the Shema is … Continue reading Christological Monotheism
I recently was asked a question from a Unitarian about 1 Cor. 8:6 and Shema. It was in the context of an argument from an article in response to another Unitarian. http://spirited-tech.com/COG/2018/12/21/creator-over-all/ Here is how the conversation(with editing) went: 4 So … Continue reading The Christian Shema
[responsivevoice_button] This is a dialogue about whether it is possible for the Islamic conception of God to be loving, kind, and personal prior to creation. Jimmy Stephens: It might be helpful to start by some charitable investigation of each other’s … Continue reading Unitarianism and God’s Loving Kindness
[responsivevoice_button] ContraModalism’s view is basically the Father eternally caused the Son to exists. The Son is a numerically different being than the Father and is inferior to him. They have an asymmetrical relationship. This forces him to conclude the Son is … Continue reading Creator Over All
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
I had another exchange with ContraModalism. Here is the conversation: ContraModalism: that the Son was uniquely caused by the Father, from the Father (not from nothing), prior to the creation of the material universe, and with it, time. The Son pre-exists time, so there can be no difference in time between the Father and Son. eternally begotten or created in my understanding simply refers to that atemporal origin before time existed. and I think the fact that the first father we have on record as using the term trinity, freely spoke of the Son as a creature, is a point … Continue reading ContraModalism’s Dilemma
