Can’t see how there is very much philosophy to discuss on this — Rank Amateur
As I have argued on other threads, I know of no reason based argument that says we as humans have any basis at all to say anything about the nature of such a thing as God — Rank Amateur
After all, if I have no basis (Hah!) on which to point out the notion of the Trinity is incoherent then the Christian has no basis to say it's coherent — MindForged
I hold my point is both valid and important. Both theists and atheists make all kinds of propositions about the nature of god in their arguments. Yet I know of no rationale argument that supports we have the ability to make any such claim — Rank Amateur
The Christian is free to believe in the trinity as long as it is acknowledged that this is a belief based on faith, not fact or reason. — Rank Amateur
Yet I know of no rationale argument that supports we have the ability to make any such claim — Rank Amateur
I would highly encourage an end to proselytizing by both theists and atheists. — Rank Amateur
I have all kinds of faith based reasons why I believe in God, non of which I feel a need to defend, and non of which I feel should be attacked — Rank Amateur
What is it that you are doing when you say things like this? Ive observed you seldom miss a chance to make this point, isnt it the same thing? — DingoJones
Well said. I will take a closer look at those distinctions between Pharisees. — Valentinus
The struggles between Paul's and James' narrative was the most critical matter at that time. — Valentinus
It is interesting to me how deeply the Gnostic element got involved very early. Those Babylonian and Persian cultures popping up in different ways, perhaps. — Valentinus
And if it was not already complicated enough, the sources of different mythologies you cite got mixed into the Plato and Neo Plato thing as those different languages are themselves separate responses to elements that are not clearly recorded. — Valentinus
Get involved in philosophical discussions about knowledge, truth, language, consciousness, science, politics, religion, logic and mathematics, art, history, and lots more. No ads, no clutter, and very little agreement — just fascinating conversations.
