Jimmy Stephens has helpful advice when discussing Revelational Epistemology and circularity: It depends on what is meant by “circularity.” Normally, we treat logical circularity as fallacious, for one reason or another. Logical or inferential circularity is where you repeat a … Continue reading Circularity Again
Anderson discussion with Malpass: Continue reading Does Logic Prove God? | w/Alex Malpass & James Anderson
If the picture above drives you insane, chances are your amygdala is swollen. No doubt that over the past few days we have seen the worst in American News Media and the Social Media viral video of the Covington Catholic teens from Kentucky visiting Washington DC for the Pro-Life March. I won’t go deep in the background of the story, but teens were at the Lincoln Memorial being taunted and harassed by Black Hebrew Israelites. They were shouting racist insults to the white boys with red MAGA hats while a group of Native Americans decided to defuse the situation. But … Continue reading Twitter is Destroying our Society.
I’ll respond to this because I think it is a good example of how people don’t understand the issue of when presuppositionalist discuss logic. This is some atheist named Barry on the internet responding to Hays’ about logic on the article “From Whence Does Logic Come? (And why you can’t use it to prove God)”. Steve Hays replied to the “first principles” part and said: “But necessary truths of logic can’t derive from contingent truths of the physical world. In many respects, the physical world might have been different. Causation is a weaker principle than logical entailment.” Well first, Hays is … Continue reading Tautologicality and Christian Conceptualism
This is an article that is an introduction to what I believe the method of Reformed Apologetics that we should use and that should be understood as the best approach. 1. Transcendental Argument: This is just an introduction to the presuppositionalist argument known as TAG. TAG stands for the transcendental argument for God’s existence. What is a transcendental argument(TA)? They are arguments that deal with preconditions of knowledge and I think it could be expanded to one that deals with the preconditions for ethics. These are truths that are necessary for other truths to make sense. It means that a certain belief is … Continue reading A little Presup before Dinner
Atheist use to present to me the problem of starting points. They use to argue that we must start with ourselves or we must start with logic. That is because if we start anywhere else we would enter incoherence. You would have Christianity without logic and you wouldn’t know Christianity was your starting point because you didn’t know that you exist. The Christian says that he starts with God. How could he start with God at the expense of your own existence and laws of logic? The issue with this criticisms is that they confuse what is meant by “start … Continue reading “Start with”
This was a Paper written by Dr. Michael Czapkay Sudduth. I retrieved it from the Wayback machine and have reproduced it here. From: Philosophy of Religion Paper (May 14, 1994) Among the objections to the classical account of God’s eternality (according to which divine eternality is construed as timelessness or supratemporality) is that such a Being, a being who lacks all temporal location and extension, could not plausibly be viewed as an agent–could not coherently be thought of as bringing about various states of affairs, whether it be the bringing about the universe itself or any event within it. The … Continue reading Is “Timeless” Divine Action Coherent?
This was a Paper written by Dr. Michael Czapkay Sudduth. I retrieved it from the wayback machine and have reproduced it here. From: Oxford Tutorial Paper, February 16, 1994 In the present paper I want to consider whether, or to what extent, the theory of divine timelessness in the classical theist tradition resolves the apparent conflict between God’s omniscience and the future free actions of human agents. Simply put: Is divine foreknowledge compatible with human freedom, if it is assumed that God is a timeless being? After setting forth the prima facie incompatibility problem based on a libertarian view of … Continue reading Sudduth- Eternal Now
