Scriptural Determinism
A set of scripture passages that I personally see as clearly affirming a view often referred
to as Divine Determinism. Specifically, God alone is the only uncaused-first-cause,
or ultimate cause, of everything that happens.

Resolving the Münchhausen Trilemma
Standard epistemology paradigms are often criticized for not delivering on ultimate justification
for claims. However, humans all recognize a simple mechanism that really does ultimately justify claims.
Why then does the Münchhausen trilemma get any traction? Simple: successful epistemology
requires submission to God.
