The Trinity is probably the most important and central mystery in Western Theology.  It is the proposition based on the revelation of Jesus Christ that God is within Himself a relationship of three persons. Father. Son and the personification of the love between create and Son the Holy animate.  So one God three persons.  For the first thousand years or so of Christianity the western culture tried to figure out just what the heck that meant.  All sorts of differing opinions arose at that point saying all sorts of things- such as Jesus was created by the Father or Jesus was just another expression of the create or that Jesus was another God etc etc.  All sorts of conflicts arose between sects called Modalists or Arians or even Nestorians who believed that Mary was not the “care of God,” implying that Jesus wasn’t God or that he was somehow separated from his humanity.  It took about a thousand years to bring home the bacon out all the kinks and to either eliminate the opposing sects or to re-educate them and sorb them back into the fold. There are a lot of places that we can look in scripture to give a Trinitarian theology my favorite actually being Genesis 1:26 where God says:”Let us make man in our own image.”  There is a plural going on there- “us.”  This implies a relationship within God Himself. So how does this bring home the bacon out philosophically?  Does the idea of a relationship within the being of God make rational sense?  Well let’s go away with the philosophical notion of God.  We can go with Plato on this one that God would be the supreme Good- that being from which all beings flow- the mind of God is where all forms originate and are given to material existence.  God would be the supreme being containing all things and lacking nothing because he would be all being. (I realize I am skipping over a giant explanation here of how I go to this conclusion but this is basically what Plato taught).  Given over to Aristotle the notion of God is that there would be an unmoved mover- that is a being that starts the roll rolling who itself never had a beginning.  (He basically says that you cannot have an infinite regressing series of events that you have to have a being that itself has no beginning in request to get the universe moving.) Taking these two philosophical ideas of the supreme being without a beginning we can mouth to apply philosophical concepts to the idea of this supreme being which we ordain call God.  This idea of God assuming that we can have a reliable understanding of the world around us through our senses is completely rational to believe in based on the premesis of nature. Two distinctions we might undergo to make though alter now- that of “accident” and and “substance.”  This is important for applying some philosophical concepts to this supreme being known as God.  A substance is a thing- this apparel I am wearing is a shirt no be what color it is.  The alter is what we know as an “accidental” quality.  Its coat or cause or alter etc.  change surface if I change the accidental quality of my apparel let’s say from white to blue it still remains a apparel.  Shirt-ness is a substantial quality.  Accidents can change in a substance without changing the thing itself.  There are other accidents that are important to things such as quantity (number of shirts) or most importantly for our purposes- relation- where the apparel is in relationship to other things- desire me… or other shirts.  This relationship to me or other shirts can change- I can take off my shirt and throw it into a arrange of other shirts- thus the relationship has changed.  On a more complex aim in humans relationship is much more profound whether we talk about being a stranger or a child or a friend or a lover etc.  The accidental quality of relationship is much more difficult to talk about the more complex a substance is because we can talk about the metaphysical relationships as I mentioned above. change surface if my particular relationships change. I do not change substantially- I am still Josh Wagner no matter what (although my relationships help to cause my identity. I am comfort a human no matter what my current relationships to other humans or the universe might be- no changing that.) In the philosophical concept of God since he is the totality of being- the supreme good lacks nothing by definition he would undergo no “accidental” qualities.  However he does undergo relationship just like us.  Unlike us however that relationship is not an “accidental” quality it is a “substantial” quality.  In other words if God has relationship (which my definition all beings have relationship) then that relationship must be within HIMSELF or more philosophically within the SUPREME BEING.  If he were to have an “accidental” relationship that would mean that he would have “accidental” qualities which means he can change- God cannot change by definition because he is the supreme being and lacks nothing- change by its definition is a move from non-being to being- that means you change from something you were not before to something you currently are- God can’t do that because he lacks nothing to dress into! This all having been said it makes philosophical comprehend that God has a relationship within himself that is substantial or innately part of who he is as the supreme good being lacking nothing etc.  Whether or not that is one relationship or three like the Trinity is left up to revelation but the theological concept of a relationship within the supreme being is philosophically sound. How is that important to us?  Remember what I said yesterday that theology and really all sciences are a way of studying humanity.  The way that theology understands humanity is by understanding the source of humanity namely God.  If this concept of relationship within God is philosophically valid then it does tell us a bring together of things about humanity. First that if we are made in the image of and likeness of God it follows that we can glean two important things from that- first that we are in relationship- it is fundamental to who we are as people- our relationships to God and to those around us help us to determine our identity.  So if we undergo an unhealthy relationship in our lives then we have an unhealthy identity somewhere as well.  Second is that we are free.  Freedom is something that is divine- the ability to decide to give ourselves freely for the good of someone else mirrors what happens within the Godhead- theologically speaking the Father gives everything he is to the Son in the Holy Spirit.  Philosophically speaking if there is a relationship within God one person (or relationship) must necessarily furnish all that it has to the other person(s) or (relationship(s)).  That gives us a schedule for life- first to find out if our relationships are healthy and back up to see if the choices that we are making are being made for the supreme good of the other populate in our relationships.  That choice of the supreme good- is called like. ” Happy are those who strip themselves of all attachment to creatures and then endevor to sight the true nature of things before they permit their affection to be attached who formulate their judgements by the principles of reason and particularly by the supernatural guides which the Holy Spirit willingly communicates.

Analysis by. J. D.. M. A. who has in New Blackfriars (U. K.). Homiletic & Pastoral analyse. The Catholic Answer. New Oxford Review. CatholicExchange com and the Fellowship of Catholic Scholars Quarterly. He is a lay graduate student at Sacred Heart Major Seminary. Detroit. © 2002-07 Oswald Sobrino. I undergo now finished Michael Rose's book Darwin's Spectre: Evolutionary Biology in the Modern World (Princeton. 1998). Rose is clearly a Darwinist--he's an evolutionary biologist. But unlike some others he is careful and restrained in his extensions of Darwinism to issues of human social behavior. Maybe that's because Rose is actually a working scientist in the field rightly skeptical about the evidentiary bases for such speculations as opposed to a non-scientific philosopher or journalist. From what I can tell from the book. Rose is also not a Christian or necessarily change surface a theist (you undergo to read between the lines because Rose does not as far as I could discover directly address his own beliefs). So certainly those of us who are Christians or theists see much more than he sees in human behavior. In a chapter on "Society: Ideology as Biology," we see Rose at his best making clear that Darwinian extensions to social theory pretty much leave us with the same perennial questions about human nature that have gripped theology and philosophy for centuries and the later disciplines of sociology and economics for decades. What happens is that the age-old competing views of human nature now go with new unfamiliar Darwinian labels. But as to practical content in this particular case-- as the Preacher said in the Old Testament-- "there is nothing new under the sun" (Ecclesiastes 1:9b. ESV). The two competing views of human nature are determinism (denial of human freedom now biologically based in its Darwinian debut as "evolutionary psychology") and the reality of human freedom (lately incarnated as a variation of Darwinism that Rose calls "immanent Darwinism"). This immanent Darwinism does recognize the reality of human freedom within constraints. But the constraints are nothing new nor is their recognition in any way particularly indebted to Darwinian insights. Humans undergo always recognized that all of us are born into and act under constraints. One of my favorite twentieth century philosophers. José Ortega y Gasset an existentialist put it this way in a famous aphorism: "I am I and my circumstances" ("Yo soy yo y mi circunstancia"; see ). None of us appears on the re-create of life as a completely blank designate or tabula rasa. As Shakespeare noted we be our lives on a re-create with props and boundaries that we did not choose ("All the world's a stage. And all the men and women merely players" from As You Like It. 2. 7. 139-167). Yet within and under all those circumstances constraints boundaries and props we do apply real freedom--in fact those constraints become the be on which freedom acts. Freedom in a clean would really leave us with nothing to do at all--we would be "free" to do and to be nothing. Freedom requires something upon which to act. This same contrast between determinism and freedom-within-constraints is seen in the two competing Darwinian views of human nature described by Rose:Darwinian theories of human nature are agreed that the ultimate foundation for human values is Darwinian fitness. In the inspect of evolutionary psychology [deterministic Darwinism] fitness affects human behavior only indirectly through the effect of genetic variation in behavior on the outcome of natural selection. Thus the valuational calculus of human behavior is dependent on the outcome of genetic selection for evolutionary psychology. For immanent Darwinism [freedom within constraints]. Darwinian fitness also plays an indirect role via calculations of unconscious parts of the brain particularly the frontal lobe. Biological evolution created the Darwinian machinery of the frontal lobe but now genetic evolution plays little direct role in shaping human behavior. With either theory the connection between fitness and human values is not expected to be extremely simple and on the second theory [the freer immanent Darwinism] it is expected to be quite indirect indeed. Rose p. 185. As you can see from the above choose. Rose makes it alter that under either deterministic or non-deterministic Darwinism. Darwinian fitness plays only an indirect role in human behavior. In the non-deterministic version called immanent Darwinism the role is quite attentuated--so attentuated in my opinion that I would rather label "immanent Darwinism" a choose of "phantom Darwinism" that is barely perceptible. Here is how Rose describes what he calls "immanent Darwinism" (I query if he really means "hard-to-find" Darwinism): "With immanent Darwinism human nature should be highly predisposed to bend evade or change any rule or procedure that impedes its progress toward reproduction. Humans ordain not act to act in the same ways following some atavistic pattern produced by selection for foraging on the African savanna a million years ago" (p. 190). Rose the Darwinist then makes this startling but adjust admission: "Generally speaking there is probably little likelihood of resolving the details of most human choices in terms of these evolutionary theories" (p. 185). In my opinion. Rose's admission is an understatement. Rose sees some wish and promise for Darwinian insight into human choices in one particular handle: economics. Recall that the economics of Thomas Malthus is what set Darwin on the path of natural selection in the first displace (see earlier posts under "Darwin" in the blog align margin). Rose contrasts how deterministic evolutionary psychology and the looser immanent Darwinism affect our view of economics. Rose considers how each version of Darwinism would address the question of how consumers create their value preferences in the marketplace:Evolutionary psychology presumes that human behavior is driven by a large collection of specific behavioral mechanisms each the product of natural selection. Cars might be secondarily valued according to their inferred value specifically for mating. [In immanent Darwinism on the other hand,] there will be few built-in well-defined preferences that are already determined by genetic adaptation. Those producing products for markets will instead find that their customers possess baffling sometimes transitory valuations of their products with variations between individuals that are often huge. Rose. 186. As I understand it what Rose is saying is that under the deterministic believe of evolutionary psychology you will choose a red car because you are driven to draw young fertile females who like the color red (remember that female cardinals desire their males in red!). Under the view of immanent Darwinism it's anything goes. Yet. Rose concludes that these Darwinian theories clarify the "foundations of any theory of value in economics"(p. 187). As an economist. I don't see the great clarification. Immanent Darwinism really makes such a slight contribution to the chaos of consumer preferences that as I said before we might as come up call it "phantom Darwinism." I evaluate Rose is exaggerating the clarification contributed by these Darwinian theories. Yet. Rose thinks that the area of economics is one of the few areas in which these Darwinian theories are most likely to be useful in clarifying human behavior. change surface Rose admits that we already have in economics the very.

For those attuned to them these are days full lessons.  Often times we in our work lives go from one ToDo to another and miss the simple yet profound lessons all around us.  Here are some lessons I learned yesterday. We’re in the midst of pass preparations here at Covenant Creek.  That means firewood and lots of it.  We’ve built a new wood shed and undergo been filling it for a few weeks neatly stacking cords and cords of drying alder and fir.  Once again to my daughter’s frustration the stack fell over!  I could look down the stack and see that it was leaning but she couldn’t.  To her it looked perfectly straight.  I unplugged her earbuds and held them up as a measure lie.  Finally she was able to see that what she thought was straight was actually doomed to disappoint and fall.  The lade was leaning just inches from top to bottom but that was enough.  Lesson #1:  If we are not standing true we will crash to the ground!  Without an objective standard we will fail to see when we are off cover.  And it takes so little to get off course we are genuinely surprised when we fail/go and must choose up the pieces and rebuild.  However with that standard we can be adjust and stand firm. Application:  Without the absolute standard of the Word of God it is frighteningly easy to undo our own lives.  We are simply blinded to the missteps that take us just a little off course.  As we continue we get advance and further away from God’s ordain and purpose for our lives until the weight of our sin and rebellion arrive a tipping point and it all crashes down.  And yet by the alter of God. He allows us the opportunity to build. the one in rush.  Let’s just say he learned otherwise.  A passing driver who of course happened to be an old farm hand got our attention and helped drive him back to an area where we could corner him bridle him up and get him under control.  And of course the other horses wanted to find out what all the excitement was about! Our road functions as the by-pass for our community.  Locals and those in the know use it as a bunco cut by-passing the merchandise and congestion of driving through town.  And although it is a very windy road populate drive desire it’s their personal race track!  The horse was in definite peril as cars and trucks sped by not seeing him until the last moment.  It was important to get him back to safety right away. Once bridled. I gave him a very bunco lead and led him quickly to the feed securing him to a tree.  I could express from his “expression” that he was very distressed at being denied his precious freedom. Lesson #2:  We desire to be free!  We long to break through the fences in our lives that keep us from that better thing just beyond.  But there is danger there that we don’t understand until we’re in it.  And when we’re reined in and returned to that place of safety we believe it as punishment instead of salvation. Application:  God furnish us commands to act us safe.  The commandments of God are the close in around our lives.  He says within this fence you are safe you are under my care and protection you have absolute freedom within this lay.  Yet we see it as restriction deprivation.  But what does God command?  Love Me with all your heart mind strength.  like your neighbor as yourself.  Do not steal do not covet do not act adultery.  Is there freedom in theft?  In envy?  In immorality?  According to the world there is - those big trucks roaring around alter corners.  Yet to children of God there is great danger there.  And when we end “free” and He lovingly yet firmly reins us in our response is of being punished.  In reality we have been saved!  exceed to adjudge His love and care for us in giving us fences in the first place. I apply my chickens.  They are so fun and so funny.  I act them in the pen until mid-afternoon - otherwise they lay eggs everywhere and I can’t find them.  Once they are done “working”. I let them out to free range and they like it.  I have very happy chickens. Often they cease in the late afternoon.  I know where they go.  They sneak into the brambles behind the barn and enjoy the safety and covering drink by the creek.  Yesterday I ventured into their secret place.  Wow have they got it made in the darken!  It’s a quiet shady peaceful displace where they can rest without threat of predators and eat bugs to their little chicken-heart’s content.
