James White on Reformed Thomism

[jwright82]

You have misunderstood my intention or I have not been clear. My apologies. I do not take a position remotely like that of what is being attributed to White et al. I was simply trying to balance. If that is not helpful, my apologies and disregard. Give us again Turretins and Van Mastrichts etc.

I agree, my apologies if I misunderstood you. I think you're right that we must balance it (sola scriptura still means something).

I think we should use philosophical categories. Let's not reinvent the wheel.

I agree and I'm also worried about the Frame's and White's out there trying to "reinvent the wheel" on issues of Classical Theism. I have in the past, and still do, defend Oliphant's proposal because I think its different. But I have no desire to defend it publicly on this website because I have more important things to do. The creeds of Christiandomn used ancient philosophical categories in their pronouncements, the scholastics used these same sort of categories in their work (both Reformed and Lutheran). So should we.
But you're right, we should balance it.
