@coltenbarnaby: I’ve made several videos about classical theism, and the same questions keep coming up in the comments. What about Jesus? Why does God get angry in the Bible? Can you pray to a God who doesn’t change? I want to give those questions more time than a comment reply allows, so I’m making this series. This first video explains the idea we’ll be discussing. Then we’ll work through the objections. What’s your biggest question about this understanding of God? Leave it below. I’ll use your comments to help shape the next videos. #christiantiktok #theology #vedanta #atheist
1) Monism is a metaphysical thesis and has no implications on science.
2) Monism doesn't imply a block universe (and a block universe is unfavorable for other reasons). However, the monad would not be contingent either way. The monad is eternal, with no way to not exist. It is necessary in both the Thomistic sense and a modal sense. I don't accept the block universe, so under my thesis, the features of the monad at any given moment are contingent on causal history, but the existence of the monad is necessary.
3) I'm also a determinist. So I do not accept that there is a potential for anything to be different or for the monad to fail to exist.

another way of putting it is whether or not you believe there is something beyond god which would be the case if there was something external to him.

As an ignostic atheist, you've got my interest. The term "god" has always confused me, as no one seems to have an answer that makes sense.

just because you’re the strongest God, doesn’t exactly give you the right to exercise jurisprudence on those who weren’t your subjects to begin with either - welcome to the world between good and evil

Nikita K. :
The word "god" points to the title, not to the nature. God is something or someone you have a religious relationship with. Abrahamic religions declare that there is an entity beyond the normal existence that creates our world. And it is the only entity you must have religious relationship with. According to abrahamiv religions there are other entities exist in our world and you must not treat them as gods. But you can. And they will be your gods if you do.

If you had to suggest books on the historical evolution of the concept of God within Christianity? Maybe some books about modern ideas like process theology of more ‘esoteric’ concepts

This seems like pointless metaphysical bloat just to maintain a favored belief. 🤷🏻♂️

No offense, but all of this seems like such a long way to go to try to salvage some kind of Christianity from the material reality of the horrors it has inflicted on human beings

The personal problem for me is that I associate monopolytheism with a cult called "a true church" - headed by someone who's legal name is Darwin Fish. I've spoken extensively to some of the people from there.
