The World's Wisdom and God's Folly: A Gospel of Deconstruction


john doyle: Re: The World's Wisdom and God's Folly: A Gospel of ...: It is ironic, I agree, that the Jew/Gentile barrier would be torn down, only to be replaced by the belief/unbelief barrier. (21/11/2009 - 21:00)
peter wilkinson: Re: The World's Wisdom and God's Folly: A Gospel of ...: John - how strange; that the Jesus who was declared by the apostle Paul to have torn down dividing walls between people is said by you to have put them up again. I’m not sure which or whose... (21/11/2009 - 19:35)
john doyle: Re: The World's Wisdom and God's Folly: A Gospel of ...: “Revelation then, as self-disclosure, must be a different kind of knowledge when applied to God, than when applied to human beings.” Okay, let’s presume that, at least nowadays... (20/11/2009 - 22:27)
peter wilkinson: Re: The World's Wisdom and God's Folly: A Gospel of ...: I was modifying and refining the idea of revelation - which has to be somewhat different between physical beings, and between an unseen, non-physical being and a visible, tangible being.... (20/11/2009 - 20:24)
john doyle: Re: The World's Wisdom and God's Folly: A Gospel of ...: Peter, What caught my attention originally on this thread was James’s contention that atheists reject the idea of revelation on general principles. I was contending that we humans, including... (20/11/2009 - 19:35)
peter wilkinson: Re: The World's Wisdom and God's Folly: A Gospel of ...: What an interesting conversation, which I am joining half way through, so I may be missing the point. I think all that John says is reasonable and true - provided we accept the worldview of... (20/11/2009 - 19:04)
john doyle: Re: The World's Wisdom and God's Folly: A Gospel of ...: I come to know people through their self-disclosure, through the ways they interact with me and with others, through the things they do. You’re saying that you know God only through self-... (20/11/2009 - 12:03)
James Walden: Re: The World's Wisdom and God's Folly: A Gospel of ...: John, My apologies for the late response…it is NOT due to lack of interest! You write, My response was that my ability to identify the revealer is what validates the content of the... (17/11/2009 - 06:29)
john doyle: Re: The World's Wisdom and God's Folly: A Gospel of ...: Returning to your comment from 30 October, you said this: “the whole epistemic category of revelation is itself dismissed with predjudice.  It is laughed out of court.  The... (06/11/2009 - 23:14)
James Walden: Re: The World's Wisdom and God's Folly: A Gospel of ...: I’m not sure why what I’m talking about isn’t revelation proper, or why theological revelation should merit a whole separate category from ordinary human self-revelation. “... (06/11/2009 - 19:27)
john doyle: Re: The World's Wisdom and God's Folly: A Gospel of ...: I’m atheist but not dogmatically so — I harbor doubts, I might turn out to be wrong, etc. I’m not sure why what I’m talking about isn’t revelation proper, or why... (06/11/2009 - 18:29)
James Walden: Re: The World's Wisdom and God's Folly: A Gospel of ...: Hey John, Sorry…been out of pocket as of recent.  You’re an atheist?  Interesting… I’m prepared to regard what you write as your self-revelation, mostly... (06/11/2009 - 15:47)
john doyle: Re: The World's Wisdom and God's Folly: A Gospel of ...: Presumably James was hoping to hear further response from Andrew. Maybe it’s more satisfying to talk with fellow believers about atheists than to engage in cordial discussion directly with an... (06/11/2009 - 15:02)

"Bind us together Lord"- is Christianity corporate or individual?


lazaros: Re: "Bind us together Lord"- is Christianity corporate or ...: There are christianities rather than one singular thing ‘Christianity’ - just as there have been different times and places, and peoples are the result of these. I do and don’t see... (18/11/2009 - 02:43)

John Piper and the imputation of a real moral righteousness


Solly: Re: John Piper and the imputation of a real moral righteousness: It was the doctrine of imputed righteousness, and my increasing inability to see it in a gospel of free grace or the Bible, that started my move out of Reformed theology. To my mind, it was the need... (18/11/2009 - 02:12)

How Would You Answer the Question? Can a Virgin Give Birth?
