Following up on this post here. I recently watched a Jordan Travis vid where GodLogic asks him about the filioque: curious if Sijuwade's model is able to account for the filioque or if it ignores it? Also, if he addresses this already, then please show me as I may have missed it... I notice the language of "eternally generates the son" and "eternally proceeds from the Father," yet Jordan Travis identified that the Holy Spirit can also proceed eternally from the Son since the Son does what the Father does and thereby makes the Son and the Spirit demonstrably relationally distinct. Really interesting to me. If anyone has pushback or clarity then please, by all means. Curious to know if you have thoughts here @Liam Moore since you mentioned you read up on this recently.

Yo guys, Michael will be hosting the Q&A tomorrow! Bring your questions! As you can tell via the picture below, Mike is VERY excited :)

I have been working on my response video to the debate I had with Lybiano a couple of weeks ago. I usually like to post my videos really quickly, but recently I haven't been able to post anything at all because of IRL circumstances. But one thing Lybiano (The Orthodox Muslim) said in our debate was that "God is temporal", and that struck me as a really bad take, at least from an Islamic perspective. In general, the proposition "God is temporal" isn't problematic with philosophy as a whole. I know that Dr. Ryan Mullins writes on God's "Divine Temporality" and makes a good case for its conceptualization. However, I was under the impression that from an Orthodox Islamic perspective (like Kalam theology) this idea is completely rejected. This was until I stumbled across the Athar'i school of thought, and specifically Ibn Taymiyya. I wanted to ask a question to see if anyone has information on it because I am a bit confused. Ibn Taymiyya tends to argue that God's "act" is eternal. And by eternal here, Taymiyyah doesn't mean static, as a classical theist would posit, but instead as an infinite temporal sequence of events. However, there is a distinction in his writings on God's "act" and his "being," yet Taymiyyah also rejects the idea from the Kalam position that God is "static" or "timelessly eternal". This seems to be leading towards a very close conception to Dr. Mullins' idea of God's temporality, but I want to know what Taymiyya is arguing. And even further than that, if Taymiyya's position is even taken as authoritative in a genuine Islamic school of thought. Please, I would love as much info as possible on this!!

Hey folks! Curious to know if anyone joins these calls? I'm asking because I've been these past few weeks and notice I am the only one... but maybe I'm trying to join too late since they do start at 12 PM. I work during this time (lol) but I do have time in between my Sales calls when my phone isn't dialing and I've answered all my Yelps. Let me know if anyone joins these or maybe we can advocate pushing these calls to a diff time on Tuesdays (or diff day). I think these calls are good for chopping it up so I'd like to join them if folks want to join!

Currently on a flight home, and I found that I have some significant free time, so why not do an AMA. For those of you who are online right now, what questions would you like for me to answer?
