Problem of Evil
The problem of evil is a problem that has stood the test of time. It is commonly thought that the attributes of God are inconsistent with the existence of evil. Christians have long pondered the question of evil and here … Continue reading Problem of Evil
Absolute Personality
Now, where does the authority of the absolute moral principle come from? Notice that I am not asking where the conviction itself comes from, as if this were a causal argument. That is not the point—at least not yet. The … Continue reading Absolute Personality

Is Christianity possibly false?
The usual objection to the Christain transcendental argument is the notion that other worldviews are possibly true. There is an infinite set of worldviews according to them. That has force if we start with a view where possibilities are brute facts. The problem is that presupposes that Christianity is false. In Christianity, the facts of possibility are God’s facts. The Reformed view of Modality is thus: The finite mind cannot thus, if we are to reason theistically, be made the standard of what is possible and what is impossible. It is the divine mind that is determinative of the possible. We conclude … Continue reading Is Christianity possibly false?

ARIF vs Necessitarian
Here is Jimmy Stephens response to the same man from my previous post. Here are his thoughts: Your questions seemed like contorted, flowery pseudo-intellectual word games crafted to trip up atheists. And this preface isn’t flowery or lacking charity at all. :rolling_eyes: My epistemological standard is correct because it works. . . What sane and sober person thinks otherwise? What a useless standard. Science and the scientific method is that standard. Categorical error alert! By the very nature of the case, science does not answer or even ask the fundamental questions of epistemology. For example, “How do I know induction … Continue reading ARIF vs Necessitarian
