Answering Classical Theist Objections to Neo-Classical Theism with Dr. Ryan Mullins | (MoR No. 10)

Isn’t Neo-classical theism silly? Not so fast. In this video, Dr. Ryan Mullins, Micah Edvenson, and I discuss prominent classical theist objections to Neo-classical theism (“Theistic Personalism” as some folk call it).   Here are the criticisms we cover: 1. Prisoner of Time objection (against Divine temporality)  2. Aseity entails DDS  3. Composition entails causal dependence              3a. The argument from this-such-ness (Nemes, Vallicella)               3b. Feser’s Neo-Platonic proof                 3c. Thomistic essence-existence argument  4. Neo-CT entails God is a creature              4a. Anthropomorphism  5. Biblical arguments for CT  6. Simplicity is necessary to rule out polytheism (Feser)  7. Platonic argument from perfection  8. Problems for passibility               8a. Horny God objection                8b. Interminable suffering and hell Abbreviation key:   CT: Classical Theism  Neo-CT: Neo-Classical Theism  DDS: Doctrine of Divine Simplicity   Curious to learn more about CT, Neo-CT, and the work of those features in the discussion?
