In Message 37 Glenn Morton presented this:
True, but there is a great conundrum that few want to face--the quadralemma.
If God is able or willing to communicate reality to us, then he is God
If God is unable but willing to communicate reality to us, then he is impotent.
If God is able but unwilling to communicate reality to us, then he is evil
If God is both unable and unwilling to communicate reality to us, then he is not God.
... in relation to whether events in the Bible should be considered as historical. In particular this was during a discussion of the Flood Account found in Genesis.
I do not see either the relevance or significance of the statement. Nor do I see any dilemma or issues where that would even be relevant.
In this thread I'd like for us to discuss whether there is any "Quadralemma" and if there is such an issue, whether it is more than trivial to resolve.
Suggested for either Comparative Religions or Faith and Belief.
