[responsivevoice_button] I’d like to first thank Chris Matthew for his helpful editing and sharing his thoughts on the article itself. It is often discussed whether the Law has any moral authority for Christians. The debate is amongst those that view … Continue reading The Law and the New Testament
Tomi Lahren recently made some statements on abortion that riled up conservatives. That isn’t surprising as I’ve called her a RINO in the past and when I hear people speak about her. She is a dim-witted blonde struggling to keep up with the politics of today clinging on to the political controversy to stay relevant. She is also an abortionist because she believes women have the right to an abortion. So, are people against Roe vs. Wade because they are religious zealots? Should conservatives dodge using the court as their religious laws? She, like a lot of conservatives, are always … Continue reading The Lahren Challenge
The Council hosted debate: Does the bible teach the law is a unit? Justin Gardner (affirmative) and Connor Longaphie (negative). Continue reading Does the bible teach the law is a unit?
Presuppositionalists tend to state that they hold to something called “Revelational Epistemology”. But what does that mean? What does that entail? In order to answer those questions, we will have to enter into modern philosophical debates to answer them. Epistemology is the study of knowledge. It deals with what constitutes(or what is the content) of our knowledge, the justification of our knowledge, and the structure of our knowledge. The Content of Knowledge: This is to ask for what makes up our knowledge? Do we know things because of our senses? Because of our reason? How do we acquire knowledge? The … Continue reading Parsing Revelational Epistemology
Recently, I was on the atheist brain-cell killing zone of “Friends of The Bible & Beer Consortium”. The group attracts all the village atheist to leave their intelligence behind and set up shop in a Facebook group. The exchange I had was between Randall Theo(a troll) and Ty Wilson. Neither of them has a view of their own and can’t answer basic questions of their own worldview. But in the middle of their profound ignorance they asked a question that pops up from time to time: TheSire said: Randall, how do you account for laws of logic, objective moral norms, … Continue reading Presuppositionalism and Historical-Grammatical Hermeneutics
I find that most atheists are antirealist when it comes to morals. They yet spend their lives wasting away to discuss the issue of political systems. They tend to be angry communist-socialist with many strange arguments for it. The issue is they are anti-realist about ethics and think that their political beliefs are better than another. But given the rejection of objective moral norms and obligation no system is “better” than another and nothing obligates you to push their idea. All their arguments are reducible to preference without any fact of the matter. They live an absurd life, In rejecting … Continue reading Moral Anti-realist and Politics
This debate that was supposed to be a debate about indulgences turned into a debate about Church Authority and Protestant canon. Peter lives in the modern time where epistemology is done without any regard for metaphysics, but that hasn’t been the narrative throughout history. Williams only challenges to White in this debate was about his way of coming to a knowledge of the canon. James White gave a near externalist account of it where canon causes a positive doxastic attitude towards a proposition. The debate almost reminds you of the problem of the criterion. Do you start with particular examples … Continue reading White vs Williams
Isaiah 65:20 “No longer will there be in it an infant who lives but a few days, Or an old man who does not live out his days; For the youth will die at the age of one hundred And the one who does not reach the age of one hundred Will be thought accursed. This is sometimes thought to be referring to the Millenium reign of Christ. That is at least what Post-mil and Pre-mil proponents advocate. A sort of in-between period between the age and the age to come. The issue with those interpretations is that the text is about the “new heavens and new earth”. … Continue reading Present Sufferings
The Euthyphro Dilemma sets theist with a Dilemma. Is God’s will good because he wills it, or because it appeals to an outside standard of goodness? The Christian takes this to be that Goodness is grounded in God’s being or nature. The issue that arises from that is that people push the issue to another problem: What does it mean to say God is good? Does that mean God is God? Does goodness lose all meaning? The way Christians get around this issue is that when we say “God is good” we are saying not that “God is God” but … Continue reading Is God good?
