Cafechurch: God and Necessity

  • Chalice 251 High Street Northcote, VIC, 3070 Australia (map)

Jesus said to them, ‘Very truly, I tell you, before Abraham was, I am.’ John 8:58

Last week we talked about whether God is an object in the universe (answer: no, not in the sense we usually mean that.) This week we reflect on one of they key ideas in the reflective traditions of theistic religion is that God exists "necessarily." What does that mean? Is it any more than just an interesting logic puzzle? And does it have any existential meaning, any value I can 'take to the bank" ?

Every Tuesday evening we gather together to talk about what it means to be Jesus’ disciples in contemporary Melbourne. Sometimes that’s a Bible Study, sometimes something more thematic, and sometimes something more reflective.

We eat together at 7pm - bring your own dinner, or buy something from one of the many takeaway options on the street - and the “serious bit” begins at 8. We’re done by 9:15
