Benjamin Keach was one Reformed Baptist forefather who didn’t agree with the strong thomistic metaphysic, “"Anger, revenge, hatred, when attributed to God, are by some referred to (as anthropopathisms]. Where we are to note, that these words are not ascribed to God by way of anthropopathy, for God most truly,
properly, and for infinite reasons, is justly angry with sinners, takes vengeance on them, or afflicts them... He truly hates sinners and hypocrites”

The last few minutes of this video is one continuous face palm 🤦🏻‍♂️

The thing that Dr White needs to stop doing, is acting like, or talking like, he is more qualified to talk about this issue than men like Dolezal or Barrett. Read their works and they are fully qualified and in my opinion, more knowledgeable about this issue that Dr White. Dr White needs to practice humility in this area

Why should God's attributes be equated with his substance(s) or essence(s)? God can be described as being loving, compassionate, logical, omnipresent, wrathful, creative, and just, all without necessarily having to possess those attributes as substances that make up His being. Why can't God simply be an ontological, albeit spiritual, entity?

I love Dr. White and think he is brilliant. But watching him struggle on this issue is pure torture. When you get down to the core of this issue, it is really pretty straightforward. The attributes we perceive as mediated through the created world (ie the prism) do not predicate distinct things in God (ie parts) they simply predicate God.

In the world, we see all of God’s attributes WORKING TOGETHER to reveal God to us… the one SIMPLE BEING. But these attributes are not WORKING TOGETHER IN GOD… he is not a machine composed of parts that work together… He is one simple being. All of the attributes predicate the same thing… God.

Unfortunately, Dr. White’s failure to understand this point is also the same issue that prevents Leighton Flowers from truly understanding God’s transcendence and hence his rejection of Calvinism. Both men, to some extent (although White less than Flowers) have trouble seeing that God’s essence truly transcends His creation. It is also painful to see Dr. White conflate Thomas’ scholasticism from the 13th Century with the schoolmen of the 16th Century who frequently interpreted Thomas in vastly different ways. I am not arguing the infallibility of Thomas but he was not Molina or a Jesuit hack trying to prevent or destroy the reformation. He was 300 years before any of that.

can we back to bible? & not tomas? Trinity is in bible, not somewhere outhere! 😅✌

Trinity is existance of God that explain about LordJesus. Trinity without Jesus & biblical description, is something like imagination & guessing about unrealistic figure. don't let philosophy takeover, it's dangerous, too far from revelation in bible. 😅🙏
