What is a Person? - And Why It Matters (with JP Moreland) [Think Biblically Podcast]
Рет қаралды 1,221
5 ай бұрынWho counts as a person? The severely mentally challenged? The elderly person at the end of Alzheimer’s? The unborn? On what basis do we decide this critical question? How do we know that we have a soul? Hasn’t science decided that all of what the soul does actually occurs in the brain? Join Scott as he tackles these questions and more with our colleague and guest, JP Moreland, and co-author of a new book, The Substance of Consciousness.

At minute 12:13 the car example makes the point. I think an exo-skeleton suit that has a malfunctioning part (let’s say the right arm section that is unable to lift) while “you” are still able to lift your arm without the suit but incapable to do so while in that suit due to that malfunctioning part may also be another example. I’m sure the movie Ironman may have some examples 😊, can’t remember

C.S. Lewis expressed the same idea in his book 'Mere Christianity' "You don't have a soul. You are a Soul. You have a body."

That sounds rather dualist. We are both our souls and bodies.

That Christians think JP is smart is huge mystery. Seriously, this guy is a devotee of John Wimber and thinks angels follow him around, that God helps him commit crimes to get swimming pool, that it's a miracle that he didn't poo his pants at a conference, and other nonsense. Really, JP is a great sign that atheism is winning.
