Not only did he dethrone the anthropological view of God by following the Church's own axioms and definitions, but he was also able to resolve Descartes' double substance problem through a strict Euclidean chain of arguments.

But "official", aristotelian christianity did not anthropomorphize God philosophically.

>>23306814
Anyone who actually believes that Christianity's God is 'anthropomorphic' never went beyond a theology that's meant for kids.
The 'Logos' is 'human-like' as it is the source of all material and transcendent existence (including humans), and as the souls He bestowed humans are capable of free choice.
We can't completely understand the Logos, but we can understand aspects of Him through analogies (i.e. referencing things we actually can understand).

Spinoza is extremely interesting, but that's nothing new. Literally just read some Pseudo-Dyonisius, and keep in mind that by the time Spinoza wrote the Ethics he had been a major source in theology for more than 1000 years

Nobody "dethroned the anthropological view of God" of Christianity because Christianity's view of God was never athropomorphic. The closest it got to this was in some books of the old testament (eg. Lamentations), but even in the new testament we can find a view of God that isn't "anthropomorphic".

1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2 He was with God in the beginning. 3 Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made. 4 In him was life, and that life was the light of all mankind. 5 The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.

Pretty much shows an understandading of God as the 'Logos' and not as some old man in the sky.

I think what that anon was talking about was the classical voluntarist view of God's will. As I was pointing out, that classical view had been contested by countless famed theologians in the Christian tradition (usually members of the philosophical mystical currents who build on Pseudo-Dyonisius).

>> No.23307134 [DELETED] 

>>23307122
But Christianity's view of God is only voluntarist if understood through the works of Ockham and Scotus (medieval philosophers), which is rejected by Aquinas (the 'angelic doctor' of the Catholic church), so it makes even less sense. Because, outside of them, voluntarism isn't part of the idea of God by Christianity.

Genesis 3:8 "Then the man and his wife heard the sound of the Lord God as he was walking in the garden in the cool of the day, and they hid from the Lord God among the trees of the garden.

Bro, literally in the first few pages of the Bible it describes God "walking in the garden". The authors of the Bible 100% conceptualized God as an old wise dude, why do you think man is referred to as "being made in his image"? There is no rehabilitating these ancient myths, they bear the indelible stamp of savagery and ignorance.

>We can't completely understand the Logos
The only way you would know that you can't completely understand the Logos would be to completely understand it and if you had done so, you wouldn't say that you can't completely understand it.
