Parsed Classical Theism

TheSire

Here are some quotes Hays took from various sources on classical theism: 8. God’s knowledge is inderivative: While classical theists typically say that God knows all history by being its maker, theistic personalists are more likely to assert that God’s knowledge of history may partly be acquired by him as history unfolds. On their picture, God’s knowledge of the world, especially the world of human affairs, is capable of increase…God’s knowledge is caused by things other than himself (12).  And here’s an exposition by Brian Leftow: According to classical theism, God is: A se – wholly independent of all else. God is … Continue reading Parsed Classical Theism

Ukrainian/Russian Collusion

TheSire

It is popular for the leftist cult to say Trump is colluding with the Ukrainians. This generates a dilemma for democrats. They believe Trump is colluding as a Russian puppet and supplying military arms to the Ukrainians. The Ukrainians have been bitter towards Russians since the Soviet union sent Ukrainians to Siberia. This has been a constant problem for liberal democrats to explain how they reconcile foreign policies that are tough against the Russian government and yet merely a puppet of Putin’s regime.

Left Twix and Right Twix

TheSire

The man that shall not be named wrote a little response to me. I found the time and the will to torture myself through another one of his bitter sad attempts to undermine what I’ve said. Not much left from our dearest objector. All he’s got now is a parting shot on how the Arminian view of free will is kind of like Open Theism (gasp!) -as long as you discount the central difference of whether God can know our choices beforehand. Well, that’s because they both are indeterminist. There is no significant difference between them regarding the issue of … Continue reading Left Twix and Right Twix

Owen’s Argument

TheSire

The answer to the trilemma is fairly trivial: While refusal to believe is indeed a sin, the reason it keeps one from salvation is not due to it being a sin, but because unbelief, by definition, precludes belief in Christ, without which no one can be saved (Heb 11:6). As with all sins Christ died for, forgiveness for unbelief is only obtained through subsequent belief in Him. While Owen’s argument is trifling at best, his sophomoric reasoning isn’t the biggest problem here. While unstated, there is a premise both insidious and heretical that one must hold to make this argument … Continue reading Owen’s Argument

The Cult of Arminianism

TheSire

I have been engaging in an exchange with the writer over at Arminian confusions website. Thibodaux has struggled to understand the most basic and simple points. His whining about self-imposed dependencies was a waste of time and his views are quite shallow. Here is the latest installment of his failure: @God isn’t the ultimate arbiter of what is correct on your view. When the n00b’s reasoning skills fail him, outright lies are the his weapon of choice. That was because of an argument that God couldn’t be the basis of all truth because certain facts are beyond the control of … Continue reading The Cult of Arminianism
