Presuppositional Logic
I need to say this again. I am a slow learner. Duh!
Now, after 30 years of thinking I was a presuppositionalist, Dr. Greg Bahnsen has changed my mind. I was close, but not close enough.
There are two things that challenge all thinking: infallibility and omniscience.
Example:
Premise 1:The Greek (humanistic) mind is based on making conclusions, finding answers.
Give Me the Facts!
Never Let The Facts Get In The Way of A Good Theory
I had another epiphany. You know, one of those “aha” moments when someone switches on a light.
The light on this occasion was Dr. Greg Bahnsen, and I was listening to the CD set Defending the Christian World View Against All Opposition. It’s a great set. No. It’s a brilliant set.
But what got me thinking was his comment about facts. Facts convince no one. You cannot start with the facts and end up with biblical truth. To attempt to reason that way is to reverse the process.
“The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge” (Prov. 9:10).
Oh My Gosh! I Did It Again . . .
AAARRGGGHHHH! I Did It Again!
You would think I learned my lesson. No. Here I am making the same mistake . . . again!
Trying to make sense out of the confused and erratic statements of my friends, is one of the challenges of life. However, this time I walked straight back into the same issues that started these postings.
I had a return visit with my Reformed Baptist friends for a few days. And right on the first night, we got into a discussion. The topic? Localized self government.
The Australian (me): The American foundation was an attempt to put the Biblical pattern of localized self government into practice.
My American Friends: Where does it say in the Bible we should have localized self government?
