@@michaelabbott9080 first, evolution is not science. It's a belief system and a story made up by men about our origins. Second, all science relies on a paradigm and facts/evidence is interpreted according to the paradigm. So all science is based on a philosophy.
I’m listening to “Institutes”. I’m only an hour in but it’s good and nothing I think a Christian or Jew (the obvious withstanding) could disagree with. I think the subject of the law in Christianity and how that compares with Judaism would be a great discussion (hint)
Excellent point! One of the reasons I converted from Christianity was that it was too vague on what I was supposed to do. I like the idea of a biblical blueprint for what is expected of man and that’s what I found in Judaism.
One of the reasons I converted from judaism was because the temple I would visit didn’t have very much chocolate. However, in the mormon temple it’s like an all you can eat chocolate buffet. So you see, we’re actually the same you and I. It doesn’t really matter what’s true to us, as long as we find what we’re looking for.
@@jtslev I’ve known a number of Mormons throughout my lifetime and they’ve all been top-notch individuals. I wish I would’ve known about the chocolate, though, as I might’ve considered them more earnestly early on in my many years a Christian.
The classical Reformed view is the ancient Patristic doctrine of Logos Theology. Their rejection of Theonomy mostly comes from the Logos Theology and therefore Wesleyan interpretation of Matt. 19:8. In order for them to use this passage against Theonomy they have to reject Total Depravity and demand that humanity has been somehow raised above having a hard heart. If you know anything about the ancient soteriology of the Patristics, Theosis and Christus Victor, the Logos jumps in humanity and raises it up the chain of being according to Patristic Theology. It has ever since been evolving and progressing to a state of perfection pace Wesley. This is obviously a rejection of the doctrines of Grace especially Total depravity.
Most definitely our world view and faith should dictate our individual lives. However, the only time they should affect others life is in positive for that person - not what we think is good for them. One has to chose to live in a theocracy, think mixed multitudes, Ruth, etc.
Thank you for this interview. Excellent!
The Rushdooney book "The Mythology of Science" is an excellent philosophical critique of evolution. Totally changed my mind about science.
Evolution is science..philosophical criticisms are not overly relevant...

Thanks for this.

Cool.
I actually have the book the messianic character of American education signed by R.J himself!

By what standard is a great book, even if I had to read it twice 😂
