The United States At 250 - Day 2

   The Lord Has Destroyed Without Pity 2  How the Lord in his anger     has set the daughter of Zion under a cloud! He has cast down from heaven to earth     the splendor of Israel; he has not remembered his footstool     in the day of his anger. 2  The Lord has swallowed up without mercy     all the habitations of Jacob; in his wrath he has broken down     the strongholds of the daughter of Judah; he has brought down to the ground in dishonor     the kingdom and its rulers. 3  He has cut down in fierce anger     all the might of Israel; he has withdrawn from them his right hand     in the face of the enemy; he has burned like a flaming fire in Jacob,     consuming all around. 4  He has bent his bow like an enemy,   ...

Shema/Preamble & Historical Prologue (Psalm 2:7)

7 

I will tell of the decree:
The Lord said to me, “You are my Son;
    today I have begotten you.


General & Specific Stipulations  (Psalm 2:8 - 9)

8 

Ask of me, and I will make the nations your heritage,
    and the ends of the earth your possession.

9

You shall break them with a rod of iron
    and dash them in pieces like a potter's vessel.”

Now therefore, O kings, be wise;
    be warned, O rulers of the earth.

Serve the Lord with fear,
    and rejoice with trembling.

Kiss the Son,
    lest he be angry, and you perish in the way,
    for his wrath is quickly kindled.

Blessed are all who take refuge in him.

Favorite Fallacies & Homosexuality

Thesis - The tradition bound view on homosexuality commits a number of logical, epistemic, & exegetical fallacies.  1-  Is - Ought Fallacy  - Human anatomy is said to provide    a blueprint for sexual ethics.  We examined this in my previous article.  A moral “ought” is derived from a physical “is.”  The disputant makes an illicit leap from what is to what ought to be. A classic example is the way some homosexuals defend their sexual ethics by appealing to their biology/genetics.  2 -  Vicious Circularity   - Human anatomy & physiology are raised to the status due a non-arbitrary epistemic warrant.    A non-arbitrary epistemic warrant must be necessary, reasoned, & principled.  In truth, the body is unnecessary to deduce sexual ethics. By way of contrast, God’s nature is definitionally necessary, insofar as God is a necessary being, &, since God is infinite, eternal, & unchangeable in being, w...

Romans 1:18 - 32 & Leviticus 18

Paul is following the basic outline of a suzerain covenant in general     & the outline of Lev. 18 in particular.   Shema & Decalogue (Rom. 1:18 - 20)   God’s Image testifies to His attributes & Law.    God created people. His temple bears His Image & runs according to his Law & Gospel.    This corresponds to Lev. 18 : 1 & 2. A - Rom.    1:18 - 19.  God’s wrath falls on those who suppress His image.   B - Rom 1:20  - For his invisible attributes, namely, his eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly perceived, ever since the creation of the world, in the things that have been made so that people are without excuse.  What is the teleological intent of the created order?    To serve as an epistemic warrant on par with God Himself? No!  It’s purpose is to serve as a pointer to God who is Himself the only sufficient epistemic warrant for all faith & practice.  ...
