Can a necessary being be caused?
In GodLogic’s discussion with Mohammad Hijab, Hijab asked GL this question. And to many people this seemed like a slam dunk on GL. However, this couldn’t be further from the truth. Wanted to do a temperature check on your guys’ intuitions and thoughts here. What do you guys think?
Can a necessary being be caused?

These are my raw thoughts again I’m prepared to be wrong lol but if necessary being is understood as a being that must exist in all possible worlds, and cause as having an outside explanation, it seems to me there can be a being that must exist in all possible worlds and has an outside explanation, with no explicit contradiction. That being wouldn’t have aseity though. It’s cause would also have to be necessary.
Why not? Let’s tackle a viral Muslim objection.
I’ve noticed that Muslims are going around with a silly objection lately. But sadly, it’s trapping a lot of Christians. I’ll share the objection here in hopes that we can workshop how to exegete the solution the VERY manufactured problem. The objection: Jesus says He will not drink of the “fruit of the vine” until the eschaton, but then later drinks wine. Matthew 26:29 “I tell you, I will not drink again of this fruit of the vine until that day when I drink it new with you in my Father’s kingdom.” John 19:28–30 Jesus, on the cross, is given sour wine, which he tastes/drinks. The basic inference line 1. If Jesus vows to not do X, and then later does X, then he broke his vow 2. Jesus vows to not drink the fruit of the vine (Matthew verse) 3. Jesus drinks sour wine which is from grapes still (John) 4. Therefore Jesus broke his Vow Looking forward to your thoughts guys!

I think what I would challenge is the assumption Jesus’ words in Matthew are to be a literal fulfillment. The drinking from a cup motif appears throughout the OT representing either judgement or salvation (Jer. 25:15; Psalm 116). That possibly could be the sort of allusion Jesus is making but in this case an allusion to the eschaton with believers. There may also be something to him drinking it “new” with them versus him drinking sour and “old” wine.
⚠️ JOSHUA SIJUWADE THIS WEEK
It's been a long time coming, but we finally got none other than Dr. Joshua Sijuwade himself giving us a PRIVATE, never-before-seen lecture on how trinitarianism is true monotheism. This will be taking place at 6 AM PST on Thursday this week (April 23). This will be early for some of you, and perfect for others. Hope to see you there.

Trent: Is our knowledge that humans and chimpanzees share a common ancestor, infinite regress, circular, or dogmatism? TJump: IDK I would have to think about that. Trent: we got time 😂😂😂😂😂
