Barring my faulty memory (and if I’m not lazy) I want to post prayers on Monday from all over Church History and then throughout the modern day, and then my own. This one comes from the Lutheran Book of Worship.

Shoes. Comfy. Warm. Slip easily on (and off). The right color and look, matching your outfit perfectly and accentuating your look. You have to love a great pair of shoes.
That is, right up until you put on someone else’s shoes.

Euthyphro, Accommodation and The Good
Unlike Calvin, who states that God (in His goodness) accommodated Himself to people by talking in baby talk (thus becoming understandable—which is a matter of how he communicates, not the content of the communication) there are a group of people that I’d call New Accommodationists who, borrowing the same language, state that God, because of His goodness, condescends to the morally dubious (I’m being generous with the use of the term since they’re more likely to use the word “evil”) situation of men . This is group denies the inerrancy of Scripture because, although God is good, he affirms things that are actual morally wrong.
For example: when God makes commands about slavery, he speaks into the situation of the people without ever correcting the morally dubious action. He gets his hands dirty, as it were, to pull humans up out of the mud and thus demonstrates his love via condescension. So this inerrancy isn’t about mistakes as much as God, in Scripture, affirming moral wrongness.
Enter Euthyphro’s dilemma.

Christian Carnival 344
Welcome to Christian Carnival 344. Some of the posts submitted this week were outside of the specified time frame but I included them anyway at the bottom of the post. For past Christian Carnivals, you can look through the archive located here at the Bible Archive. Â
On the fourth post of Doctrine for Everybody, concluded that the books the Lord says are Scripture are Scripture; that the Church doesn’t dictate the table of context, they confirm the index. For this reason we noted that the strongest support for the Old Testament Scriptures as we have them in the Protestant Bible are directly connected to the fact that it was the Bible that Our Lord Jesus Christ was using and confirmed as Scripture.
