Ever heard of the "Original Maimonides"? 📜
Before the Great Eagle (Rambam) soared, there was Abraham ibn Daud (c. 1110–1180). A physician, astronomer, historian, and the first true Aristotelian of Jewish philosophy.
Let’s dive into why this Al-Andalus polymath is the most underrated MVP of the 12th century. 👇

To classify Arminius and the Arminians as Pelagians reveals, at the very least, a profound historical ignorance—or, at worst, deliberate intellectual dishonesty. Arminius himself was a forceful critic of Pelagianism, even characterizing its adherents as ignorant in theological matters. For Arminius, the initiative and all the capacity for salvation reside exclusively in the grace of God, never in the merit or inherent ability of human beings.

Catholic tradition from Augustine, needs Plotinus to point toward a personal, good God.

Krishnananda needs Plotinus to dissolve into pure non-dual consciousness.

Plotinus himself may have refused both closures.

Augustine and Vedanta are closer to each other than either is to Plotinus in rejecting the idea that matter is intrinsically evil, but they still differ sharply in how they explain evil and the human predicament.

Devotional – “Is God Judging America Today?” – 05/1/26

COMMENT

I think we can all agree that we all want ‘our best life now’. The issue is whether we obtain it via a True Biblical manner or a watered-down version of the word. I am both discouraged and encouraged by this. 2 Timothy 4:3 says (AMP) For the time will come when people will not tolerate sound doctrine and accurate instruction [that challenges them with God’s truth]; but wanting to have their ears tickled [with something pleasing], they will accumulate for themselves [many] teachers [one after another, chosen] to satisfy their own desires and to support the errors they hold, I am discouraged because I see so many being led astray by those preaching this itchy ear bible nonsense. I am also encouraged because I am seeing more and more of the younger generation turning to solid doctrine and Bible-preaching churches.

I have long agreed with the late Dr. John MacArthur that God had lifted His hand of providence from America. However, I struggled to clarify what I meant by that statement. Did it mean God was letting go (forsaking America) and letting us run wild? Was He passing some form of Judgement, designed to draw people in? Remember the surge after 9/11, Katrina, and other such calamities.

The following is from Capitol Ministries, although written to political leaders, it does a very good job of breaking down God’s Judgement and what I believe the Spiritual state of the Union is now.

Some leading Evangelicals have believed and taught that America is experiencing God’s judgment. As a public servant who is sacrificing so much in your attempt to turn our nation around, if those Evangelical leaders are correct, you might conclude you are wasting your time. Are you laboring against a foregone conclusion? May it never be. But allow this qualification: America is not experiencing the forsaking wrath of God, but yes, America is experiencing the consequential wrath of God. 

The goal of this study is to give you a working knowledge of these italicized theological terms and a sense of hope in this work God has called you to.

What do you think was happening in the #theology and #history the #Christian faith relative to #Arianism and #Neoplatonism between 325 and 363 CE?

You think you know.

You don’t know.

I’m now obsessed with the #theology of Emperor Julian, who died in the Battle of Samarra in June 363 CE, a chaotic clash near modern-day Samarra, Iraq, against Sasanian Persian forces led by King Shapur II.
