Anybody here familiar with either Huemer or Budziszewski? Huemer defends "ethical intuitionism" and is a moral realist, while Budziszewski is a natural law moral theorist, and a Christian. Budziszewski's particularly main point is that moral skeptics are usually not really morally skeptical...

I think this is a constructive addition to the thread RD.

Even in spite of Pastor Bob Enyart's best efforts, I still find it prima facie, and also upon deeper examination and reflection, implausible that God "[crossed] an actual infinity". https://theologyonline.com/threads/gods-eternal-past.25420/

Are we collapsed yet? Did I miss it? Are we living in post-collapse America now?

The news this week—the chorus insisting that Secretary Hegseth should resign or be removed over the Iran conflict—has got me thinking about resignation in a different key. I disagree with that chorus. But I want to take the logic seriously, because I think the people calling for Hegseth's head...

Based on both of yours input, I found this out: Gemma 4 31B: Bob Enyart represents a significant intersection between Mid-Acts Dispensationalism and Open Theism, serving as a bridge between the Mid-Acts hermeneutic and Open Theist ontology. While the "founding fathers" like Cornelius R. Stam...

I'll take your word for it. Why doesn't Paul talk about the Eucharist more often? idk. I can only guess. Part of Catholicism is that Catholicism is presupposed in the New Testament, so we believe the Philippians, Colossians, Galatians, Corinthians, and Romans (ecclesial communions) were all...

https://www.nbcnews.com/business/economy/us-economy-iran-war-five-charts-rcna598412 “ The Census Bureau reported last week that the median U.S. household income hit an all-time high in 2025, while the percentage of people in the U.S. living in poverty fell to its lowest level on record. ...

What I'd like you to do¹ is supply some doctrines of Enyartism, or, some principles of Enyartian Scriptural interpretation (Enyartian hermeneutics). I saw just recently on TOL JR appeal to you, in order to answer a question about Enyartism, so I know you are not only an Enyartist and Enyartian...

We collapsed, then we came out the other side of the collapse, but it looks like nothing happened somehow. It even looks better now? :unsure:

We collapsed so hard we sprang back into order again.

This thread is in Enyart's honor. It's been nothing but respectful and honorable toward him, his memory, and theological legacy. Sure. And who judges whether that's been done or not? Is the judgment objective and justified? How do we know? who judges that? I haven't found any evidence...

I've been using a sober register this whole thread, if not entirely serious or somber—sober. Everybody believes that their system of doctrine is based on the Bible, and was founded by God and is documented by the Apostle Paul in the Bible, and is simply the correct understanding of God's Word...

It was just a very careful building out of all the vocabulary that the English language has available to talk about a system of doctrine, and a method, of reading and interpreting Scripture. Like I said this thread is in Enyart's honor. MAD wasn't a thing until he generated it as a system of...

As I said, I'm curious. I'm not an Enyartist, but I want to study it more, to steel man it, to be a better Enyartologist (and Enyartianologist, to study Enyart's Enyartian method of reading and interpreting Scripture). And like I also said, I think Enyart deserves to have his name on the...

Speaking of The Plot, @Clete even just recently said here on TOL that he converted to Enyartism through reading it. But afaik @Nick M came to Enyartism independently through his own instictive Enyartian reading of the Scripture. afaik Saint @john w the great also arrived at Enyartism...

I just have 50-100 books in front of The Plot that I'd also like to read. I by no means have written off reading The Plot. I am curious to read it, I just haven't yet. The purpose of this thread is to steel man Enyartism. What you're referring to is back when I knew it as Mid-Acts...

We've already collapsed—I'm just glad to still be alive! Phew, that was a close one!!!

I'm familiar. Enyartists here however, do not identify as either Bullingerists or Hyper-Dispensationalists, and from my reading of them (and I could be wrong), they take those terms to be pejorative, and that's why they don't identify as either. 'Enyartism' is offered respectfully about them...

First things first, Mid-Acts Dispensationalism (or MAD), Acts 9 Dispensationalism, or simply Acts 9erism, is Enyartism. Edit: As expected, JR and RD provided some needed clarifications to the thread. Enyartism is not only MAD, but is also Open Theism. Post 36.
