My opinions on Socrate pg 48-54

What I noticed is when Socrates asks Euthyphro a question in that question there are two statements and Euthyphro has to say which one correct but he answers with a yes. Euthyphro answers the question with a yes but questions are for him to pick one of the statements that he agrees with.

For example “But is this the correction that we are now making in the argument: that whatever all the gods hate in impious and whatever they love is pious, but whatever some love and others hate neither both? Is this how you now wish it to be defined by us concerning the pious and the impious?”

There is more than one question but Socrates answers “Yes, for what prevents it”

It seems as though Socrates question is different but when Euthyphro defines pious and impious to Socrates it’s the same. It’s kind of repetitive because Euthyphro keep telling Socrates that whatever the gods love are pious and whatever they gods hate are impious. Pg 52

On page 53 I am confused 10c paragraph because Socrates talks about the thing carried something carried because it is carried or because of something else. Then he goes on more about “Nor because it is something carries is it carried; rather, because it is carried, it is something carried.” Socrates questions get even more complicated I’m surprised that Socrates didn’t trick himself up in his own question or Euthyphro. Sometimes you can ask so many questions you forget what the first question was and how you even to the last question. As the questioning continues and starts to get more complex Euthyphro answer’s gets smaller. For example Socrates conversation will be a paragraph and Socrates will answer with a “yes”, “certainly”, “quite so” or “I do”

I think Socrates ask question to the point where he is being aggressive. He questions Euthyphro as Euthyphro is the student. Socrates asks to be Euthyphro student because Euthyphro is wise but Socrates is not acting like a student. All he wants to do is ask questions rather than take anything in account of what Euthyphro says. If I had a wise teacher I would listen not ask so much damn questions that are uncalled for. It’s ok to ask questions but after awhile you need to do research so you learn. Socrates doesn’t deserve to go to jail but he needs to learn to stop questioning people on purpose so he can trick them up into what they believe.

My opinions on Socrate pg 41-47

Young ones are corrupted by corrupter’s page 42

I agree because it all starts with what you are told as a young child. It may not seem wrong to ask questions but I know that I would not want anyone questioning my child beliefs or my child period. Socrates makes up new God’s and that is wrong for young ones but that is Socrates opinion. Socrates should keep that to himself.

It is good to take care of the young first but not how Socrates take care of them because he wants to keep questioning them until they are confused and they will not have an answer.

Socrates thinks that Euthyphro should prosecute his father only if his father killed someone outside of the family. Euthyphro’s father didn’t literally kill the servant but if Euthyphro’s father didn’t bind and throw the servant in the ditch he wouldn’t have died. I don’t think it was impious for a son to take his father to court.

pi·ous
having or showing a dutiful spirit of reverence for God or an earnest wish to fulfill religious obligations. Euthyphro defines Pious as proceeding against whoever does injustice regarding murders etc… I think this is fulfilling a religious obligation. It will be obligating to do the right thing by their God’s.

I don’t think this relates back to Euthyphro taking his father to court. If anything it would be a pious act.

I think if someone in my family commits murder, I don’t know if I could prosecute them especially if I’m close to them.

Then Socrates asks to become Euthyphro student after their first conversation about Euthyphro sending his father to court and because he thinks Euthyphro is wise.

Gensis Ch. 9

1.) Why did Noah curse his family and his son offspring’s?

~ Noah did not curse his family or his son offspring’s. He cursed Canaan.

2.) What authority does Noah have to curse Family?

~ Noah did not curse his family but he does have authority to curse his son offspring. Every man has authority in their house and in their family.

3.) If Noah is a righteous man than why did he get drunk and curse his son offspring?

~ Just because God picked Noah because he was a righteous man that doesn’t mean Noah doesn’t have sins. Noah is a man that sins just like other men that has flaws and sin. Noah is still a prophet man. Noah put a curse on Canaan because Canaan ridiculed Noah because he saw Noah nakedness and that was disrespect. Canaan was the first person to walk through the tent but he went back out and told Shem and Japheth.

Remember God had already blessed Noah and his sons in Genesis 9:1

~ Even though Canaan was cursed he was still blessed
~ Canaan is the blessed land in Israel

White supremacists use this to justify slavery or racial prejudice. Some people use this story for the justification of slavery but Africans are the descendents Cush. Cush is the father of Africans.

Arabic’s were the FISRT to enslave black people.

"God says he is jealous but he tells us not to be jealous"-anonymous

Ex. Your parents may tell you not to smoke even though they might.

One may tell you not to do something even though that person might do it.

Whats the difference? Is it because God said so.

God is SOVEREIGN. He can say what he want and do what he wants.

God maybe jealous but he is still forgiving. People now a days get jealous and is ready to fight and kill and you wonder why God says do notbe jealous.

Everybody isn't going to be able to understand the bible especially if they only read one book and judge God and the rest of the bible. You have to keep reading because in other books of the bible it explains more about whats in Genesis and in other books. (Sometimes i get confused but I ask a pastor or someone who knows the bible to clarify for me) A lot of people are confused about whats in Genesis but if you continue reading you might just find your answer.

I Corinthians 2:14
King James Bible
But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.

people don't understand why God does the things he does because they only look at it with a natural eye. They don't see with a spiritually eye.

There has to be some mystery and faith in following Christ.

some clearifications

In genesis most women names are mentioned but you couldn’t tell because they may have seemed as a male name. There are so many stories and names that could have been put in the bible but the men were named and pointed out b/c their stories were significant.

Adam and Eve behavior is erratic because they went against the proper conduct and ate from the tree. Gods behavior cannot be erratic because he is the usual and he made the conduct. Morality was taking from God’s words.

Erratic- adj- deviating from the usual or proper course in conduct or opinion; eccentric; queer

Gods kills all humans because with the flood because he waited until sin reached its climax.
6:1-13 about Noah Wait until sin reaches its climax
God chose Noah because Noah was a just man and perfect in his generation and NOAH WALKED WITH GOD! (key point)

He found grace in the eye of the lord. God saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually this repented GOD that he made man and grieved him in his heart. The wickedness was from sleeping with ungodly men. GOD SAID BE IN THE WORLD NOT OF IT.
Sodom was destroyed because it was the city of sin the main point wasn’t because of homosexuality.

God was testing Abraham’s faith. God told Abraham one day he would have a son. God never told him to sleep with the servant. Abraham took it upon himself to have sex with the servant because he was impatient. If God told him one day he will have a son therefore Abraham has to be patient even if he is 100 years old. God never told Abraham when and when the servant gave birth to the boy it wasn’t the called son by God. God never refused to let Sarah have a child it was just all about patience.
