Plantinga's "Free Will" defense contradicts Christianity

[BrianSoddingBoru4]

That's theologians for you - always going about telling God what to do.

edit:  Physicists too, come to think of it.

OFC.  All theology is an attempt to put boundary conditions on the divine.  Within the context of plantingas christian god there would be a logical contradiction unless some caveat of necessity discharged the moral responsibilities god has by virtue of his nature.

Or, in simpler terms.....god would be logically inconsistent with itself - shorthand for nonexistent in rational theology.  Hence, the necessity of theodicy and defense.

Agreed, and I think that's largely the trouble.  I'm perfectly happy to accept the premise that God is unable to act in a manner inconsistent with his nature, but theologians are continually tinkering with God's nature until they get something they're comfortable with.  Then they publish it and the kerfuffle starts all over.
