Circular Reasoning and Circular Arguments
It is often tossed at Presuppositionalist that they are engaging in Circular reasoning and are begging the question. That all Presuppositionalism proclaims is ” The Bible is true because the Bible is true”. I just wonder if any presuppositionalist has … Continue reading Circular Reasoning and Circular Arguments
“By Faith”?
Contours of Presuppositionalism
I want to catalog some of the differences that exist for those that hold to presuppositionalism. I wish to discuss things that Presuppositionalist unify and depart on. The reason I am doing this is that after all these years people still ask me the differences between these individuals. This will not be me commenting on which positions are right or wrong, but formatting a map for your studies. First things first, What is a Presuppositionalist? They stand in the Reformed tradition and they must maintain the sort of Christian distinctiveness into their apologetic approach. The differences involve thoughts about TAG, … Continue reading Contours of Presuppositionalism
Work of God
John 6:29~ 29 Jesus answered them, “This is God’s work: to believe in the one whom he has sent.” This text is used in a number of ways that abuse it and really miss the point of what Jesus is saying here.

Even though that is true, I think it misses what this text is saying. We force issues into this text and force it into the Works vs faith debate. We need to … Continue reading Work of God

Other writers react against that idea and make believing sound … Continue reading What does it Mean to Believe?

Miracles, induction, and retrodiction
Interesting thoughts from Steve Hays about Miracles and reconstructing the past: In the case of miracles, induction hits a wall. When the subsequent course of events is the result of a miracle, inductive inference can’t go further back than the miracle. It can’t reconstruct the past before the miracle occurred, because the post-miraculous state is not a product of the pre-miraculous state. Induction can only take you from the present to as far back in time as the precipitating miracle. It can’t jump over that to the other side, because the chain of events prior to the miracle is a … Continue reading Miracles, induction, and retrodiction
