[Vision2020] Is John Calvin an Intolerista?

[Art Deco]

Michael,

I am afraid that you have not grasped the problem Plato was discussing.  Since I am short on time, I refer you to Anthony Flew's remarks on this subject.

  "you have ignored the problem discussed by Plato and recently discussed on this forum:

   

  Is X good merely because god says so or does god say so because X is (intrinsically) good?

   

  W. T. Jones also discusses this problem in his chapters on Plato."

   

   

  Me:

   

  This is a good example of how the Classical Christian God is a good way to address the more general problems of any god-x.  X is good because God says so and God says so because X is intrinsically good.  Seems like one just comes along with the other with an eternal Trinity.  Right?
