Eschatology Indispensability
Jimmy Stephens states: I think I found an even more striking, simpler version of the eschatological issue. I formulated it like three different ways, and now I think it just winds down to a ground motive problem. All humans possess … Continue reading Eschatology Indispensability
Is Atonement Necessary?
From Jimmy Stephens: Cultures depend on their notion of love vs hatred, prosecution vs forgiveness, justice vs grace, etc. There are several intersecting tensions here, but the main issue is how to deal with guilt. All humans are guilty of … Continue reading Is Atonement Necessary?
Privation, Evil, & Proportionate Causality

Second, if you didn’t know what the property is, you couldn’t be held responsible for … Continue reading What’s Evil?
