Cool Philosophy Of Christianity Moments

Cool Philosophy of Christianity Moments

Guys look at this bit in a philosophy paper I'm reading:

The result of God’s eternity is that in respect of time God can be more present with regard to a human person Paula than any other contemporary human person Jerome can be. As regards Paula, her contemporary Jerome can be present only one time slice after another. When Paula is thirty years old, for example, neither her three-year old self nor her sixty-year old self are available to Jerome. But eternal God is present at once to every time of Paula’s life; none of Paula’s life is ever absent or unavailable for God.

Man I love this subject. You'll be studying metaphysics and hard logic puzzles thousands of years old right alongside Aquinas, and then bam! They hit you with a reminder or God's awesomeness.

God is not just with you now... from His perspective, He is with 60 year old you and 6 year old you, right now. God has got you. At every moment of your life. He holds it all in His hands.

bless you all

So true! Special revelation that adds to the gospel is to be avoided.

“Every word of God is flawless; he is a shield to those who take refuge in him.

Do not add to his words, or he will rebuke you and prove you a liar."

Proverbs 30:5-6

The Fanaticism Which Discards The Scripture, Under The Pretense Of Resorting To Immediate Revelations

“The fanaticism which discards the Scripture, under the pretense of resorting to immediate revelations is subversive of every principle of Christianity. For when they boast extravagantly of the Spirit, the tendency is always to bury the Word of God so they may make room for their own falsehoods.” - John Calvin
