@JoeyS00@Protestia He is not arguing that the Son is not past eternal. He’s only arguing that he isn’t eternal because he derives his existence from the Father eternally. He thinks the Godhead is an eternal soul endowed with three centers of self-consciousness, each a distinct person
@dprmsy@ToCelestialCity I understand how Rome and Constantinople are alternatives. I really struggle to see how NPP on Paul, at least in Wrights form, actually poses as an ‘alternative’ on the role of obedience. What would that be that is alternative?
@BMcGrewvy@barob05 Bethel, what exactly is the critique? I thought he did excellent again Bart in November. I’ve only really seen Dan Wallace do better. Im genuinely curious what you take issue with Mike in in terms of scholarship? Are you saying Mike just hasn’t made any real contribution?
@dprmsy Reading now. So far, this is excellent. I’m so glad someone finally addressed the muddled metaphysics I often hear from Reformed theologians, throwing around “substance”, “accidents”, “form”, etc, with seemingly no understanding of what these concepts mean or how they relate.
@wck47@WB_Texas@daisymay4263 Sed contra, Bauckham argues the Gospels likely had titles early. ancient scrolls needed tags (‘tituli’) to identify works, the manuscript titles (“κατα Μαθθαιον,” etc.) are uniform across regions, and no competing attributions exist (unlikely if they circulated anonymously).
