The Highway Forums General Discussion Theology Discussion Forum The Divine Simplicity of God

I listened to about 20 minutes of the first video beginning at 24:00 minutes as you suggested and unfortunately, couldn't truly grasp what he was trying to say because he often had incomplete sentences in his presentation and then he went off on another subject dealing with how Calvin's understanding of supernatural/natural theology has changed over time and how different "philosophers" had brought more natural theology into their alleged interpretation of the Bible's teaching on theology. The second video gave a little bit more information re: White's agreement with William Lane Craig on a very specific subject, i.e., the doctrine of divine "simplicity" and how Aquinas' teaching on the subject has influenced many contemporary professors/teachers/students, which White thinks is in error. On that I would agree. And IF this is all that White is agreeing with Craig's rejection of that, then okay... and so what? Craig's definition of Omniscience is diametrically opposed to classic Reformed theology and ends with a total theology of God in ALL His parts within God's simplicity. Perhaps the statement you made above isn't yours? but rather what someone else has written/spoken elsewhere? But whatever the source, I didn't hear White disagreeing with the confessional statement of God's simplicity as found in the WCF or LBCF or Savoy Declaration, et al. Nor, did I hear White mention Charles Hodge's view on simplicty.
