There you go with personal attacks and disrespect again.You claim X but speak a different language, refusing to define your terms. What a joke! What a Platonist joke!
RLT, We can all benefit from scholars and their work, but what we cannot do is use their works like a spiritual supermarket and go shopping to pick and choose what suits our own accepted beliefs…….so many do that and end up with their very own “religion”, basically shared by no one else, or by very few in a local group. That is not the Christianity that Jesus taught.So you have to be a theologian to get saved? Can’t have anything wrong, every detail must be perfect. Oops, theologians disagree, so being a theologian won’t save us. God help us find the right path, there are so many to choose from.
Too bad for people who were taught wrong through no fault of their own
(And I'm not a Platonist, I'm not trying to mix Christianity with anything else. I rely on the scriptures)There you go with personal attacks and disrespect again.
The marks of a man who has no argument.
The people who read this thread can decide who is a joke
Properly identifying your theology as platonist, where you refuse to define terms is neither disrespectful nor a personal attack.There you go with personal attacks and disrespect again.
War is badI wish I could electronically ignore or filter out all posts with the INTERFAITH word in it.
It’s ridiculous how every thread, no matter the topic is fodder for you to make the same posts of truisms.
WAR IS BAD
FREEDOM IS GOOD
PRAISE GOD
INTERFAITH IS BAD.
I'm not Platonist. I'm not mixing Christianity with anything else or trying to reconcile it with philosophy or science.Properly identifying your theology as platonist, where you refuse to define terms is neither disrespectful nor a personal attack.
I subscribe to Biblical Unitarianism, which is heretical to Christian orthodoxy, and embrace Aristotlean logic and epistemology of John Locke. This is proper identification of my theology and epistemology, not disrespectful nor a personal attack.

I sure do. From Definition of PLATONISTDo you know what the word means?
So if you believe people have a soul you are Platonist?You may not realize your theology is contaminated by Greek ideas, such as 3 in 1 god and the Phoenix, who rises by his own power, from the ashes of death. But most of all, how you hide your ideas.

the philosophy of Plato stressing especially that actual things are copies of transcendent ideas and that these ideas are the objects of true knowledge apprehended by reminiscence

I don’t have to know all. You adhere to trinitarianism. That’s all I need to know in this thread (regardless of its Platonist ‘form’ or subcategory).You don't know what all my beliefs are
Okay. After all you are the world's foremost authority on itI don’t have to know all. You adhere to trinitarianism. That’s all I need to know in this thread (regardless of its Platonist ‘form’ or subcategory).

You follow the father of liberalism but you are a Trump supporter?Properly identifying your theology as platonist, where you refuse to define terms is neither disrespectful nor a personal attack.

Yes. Semantics seems to be something you trip over time and again.You follow the father of liberalism but you are a Trump supporter?
I know Locke supported limited government and individual rights and freedom.Yes. Semantics seems to be something you trip over time and again.
There is Classic Liberal, from the 18th century, which formed the basis of our Constitution of citizen government, individual liberty, protected by federalism by dividing power, and equality in a pluralistic society.
Then there is today’s totalitarian Leftists who promote ‘diversity’ via Cultural Marxism, except the only diversity that matter, diversity of thought, that co-opts the term, “liberal.”
Yes, I am supporting the Classical Liberal, Donald Trump, who is returning power to the people from the global totalitarian Leftists who also have a problem with semantics, abusing it to manipulate.
