Our last dozen posts were to discuss how irrelevant your questions are. Drop the loaded questions and you might find our posts loaded with answers. (act now - this is a limited time offer - lol)I'm not posturing. I'm asking relevant questions and you guys just happen to not like it.
Isn't everything "doubtable" to an existentialist?I don't reject it in full, even if I can say I think it's doubtable.
To me this is UR-speak for "I don't like your question(s) so I will just ignore them."Our last dozen posts were to discuss how irrelevant your questions are. Drop the loaded questions and you might find our posts loaded with answers. (act now - this is a limited time offer - lol)
I have always maintained that all three views of the final judgment have biblical support. Choosing one, basically negates the others. The views are in serious contradiction with each other. You understand that, right?There are some interpretive aspects of it that I agree with over those found in the position of ECT ...
Your sidebar says "Christian". The mods can "fix" that for you. They can re-designate your belief status. Unless you fear that your mortal soul would be endangered by such a declaration. What to do, what to do... ?
Would you be so kind as to post your two questions in understandable terms? Maybe we can resolve this then.
It depends on the Existentialist you're inquiring to. Kierkegaard would say one thing, Sartre another, Nietzsche his own view and others different yet again.Isn't everything "doubtable" to an existentialist?
Yep. Which is why I you've never seen me do anything rash like insinuating that you guys are somehow 'un-Christian.' I firmly see you all as fellow Christians even if I happen to disagree on some points.Which would mean that UR is no worse than anything else in your view. Right?

Well, since this isn't an existentialist forum, maybe discussing as a Christian would more appropriate?You do realize that Kierkegaard was an existentialist AND a Christian, right?
Great, thanks.OK.
1) How do those in the UR framework 'fit in' the area of study regarding the New Testament writers Use of the Old Testament?
2) How do those in the UR framework 'fit in' the area of study regarding 1st Century forms of Jewish Thought?
Reminds me of UR. There is no standard belief set. But unlike other groups, we don't declare war on each other over differences. They really don't matter.It depends on the Existnetialist you're inquiring to. Kierkegaard would say one thing, Sartre another, Niezsche his own view and others different yet again.
Should I cut the blue wire, or the green wire?One note, too. My Existentialism isn't a 'total' existentialism, I'm also a Critical Realism who avers for Philosophical Hermeneutics, along with other Christians who do so.
Maybe our thoughts shouldn't be labeled as "notions" then. Just sayin'.Yep. Which is why I you've never seen me do anything rash like insinuation that you guys are somehow 'un-Christian.' I firmly see you all as fellow Christians even if I happen to disagree on some points.
Some take that view, which I respect. Others make a decision one way or the other. Most just stick with the status quo, be it ever so ugly. You'll ride the grizzly if you are afraid of horses.And I've stated before in this thread something along the lines that I think the data is underdetermined, meaning that I think there isn't quite enough data for any of us to make an ultimately decisive analysis between UR, Annihilationism or ECT.

Unfortunately the word "notion" comes off as an impulse, or whim. (silly notion) It just has a bad reputation. But maybe only with me. I'll let others rate my post with AGREE if they do.Again, my use of the term notion is in reference to its main usage, not the derogatory one that refers to a more "whimsical idea." I don't think U.R. is whimsical, and neither are ECT or Annihilationism. But they are underdetermined notions about interpretive approaches to aspects of Scripture.

What?!!!Well, if it's a position that is underdetermined like many others, why wouldn't it be a notion in the same way...
