Oord on not Thinking of Ourselves as Machines

From Interiority over Mechanism: Perhaps the best overall framework to make sense of creatures as possessing interiority is the organismic philosophy of Alfred North Whitehead.[2] Instead of regarding existence as comprised entirely of substances ricocheting off one another steel balls in an arcade game, Whitehead believed we and all beings are fundamentally experiential.

Understanding the Hypostatic Union

From the book Neoplatonism: Plotinus’s model includes three “hypostases,” or fundamental levels of reality. The first and highest is the unknowable “One,” which emanates the next level, called Nous, translated as Divine Mind or Intelligence.

From CHRISTIANITY’S BLOODY WHITE REFORMED LEGACY: MY THOUGHTS ON PRESIDENT OBAMA’S 2015 NATIONAL PRAYER BREAKFAST SPEECH: The former Vice president unloads a lot in this portion theologically speaking.

Apologetics Thursday – Predestined What?

From the God is Open Facebook group by Mark B: Just listened to the entire Bob Enyart/James White debate.
