Description
Notes and excerpts by a Confessional Lutheran

Fides quarens intellectum (faith seeking understanding).

If we have an apologetic that can move mountains but have not love, we are nothing but a resounding gong.

I. On true innocence.

True innocence is that which harms neither oneself nor others: for he who loves iniquity destroys his own soul. And no one sins first in another before sinning in himself (Aug. in psal. c, 2; Prosp. in eumdem p>.).

II. On loving people.

People should be loved in such a way that their errors are not loved; because it is one thing to love what they are, and another to hate what they do (Aug. in ps. c, 5; Prosp. in eumdem p>.).

Senguerdius:

That God exists, is clear from the
operations of creatures, which are such that they are directed by a certain reason towards a certain end. Thus, plants attract useful nutrients and avoid harmful ones. The nutrients they attract, they distribute through their parts, from which they draw beneficial juice, they protect themselves with barks, produce seeds, lest the species perish, protect fruits against harmful external causes. In animals, there is an inclination towards the conservation of life, even if it is uncomfortable in itself, towards propagation and care concerning offspring, even at the risk and expense of their own lives. For these to be obtained, some live in democracy, as ants; others in monarchy, as bees: Since, therefore, those which lack reason are governed by reason; necessarily follows and is certainly inferred, there exists some first reason and wisdom, which has instilled this into these creatures, and directs them. For if all this were done by chance without a superior directing, it would not be aimed at by all and certain species.

Once again gentlemen, I'd like to remind you that Theology is the Queen of Sciences, and also called Divine Science.

The three most important steps of polemical theology (besides personal piety) are (1) defining the relevant terms, (2) identifying the state of the question, and (3) evaluating arguments syllogistically. These three steps correspond to the three operations of the intellect.

The Impassibly Passionate God: An Apology for an Emotional God; an Apologetic for Suffering and Evil

The Problem of Suffering and Evil causes believer and unbeliever alike to question whether God (if there even is a God) is all-loving. This theodicy prompts a twofold question pertaining to God’s ontology: can we properly predicate 1) emotions and 2) suffering to the ontology of God? This thesis offers not only an apology of an Impassibly Emotional God but, in turn, provides an apologetic that speaks powerfully to The Problem of Suffering and Evil.
