Let me explain what I’m NOT saying.
I’m not only saying the word of God is true, I’m declaring, on the authority of scripture, that if anything is true, it is because the word of God has declared it to be.
The implications of this will make the athiest lose his mind and the Christian to
re-think apologetics.
Let me be perfectly clear:
All truth, intelligence, logic, reason, anything that is sure, anything that is constant, anything that is stable, any axiom, all absolutes,
ARE ONLY TRUE BECAUSE THE WORD OF GOD ESTABLISHES THEM AS SUCH.
There is no truth or source of truth apart from the word of God.
The word of God defines truth.
“How can you prove that,” asks one?
Because the Bible is the word of God,
and it says so.
“But that is circular reasoning,” cries another.
It’s not circular reasoning,
the Bible is Self authenticating.
It proves itself. It’s the very breath of God. Anyone that denies this, has not read.
They’ll say they’ve read, but never under any honest labor. If they had searched for truth, God would bless them with it, but the lost man does not seek wisdom.
I didn’t when I was lost, and neither did you.
You cannot approach science apart from
the word of God.
The word of God establishes “constants” in creation; the sun comes up, gravity is real, water is wet, and so on.
Atheism has no claim to any “constants.”
In atheism, everything is a random chance of molecules in a mosh pit with no idea where to go, and only by chance does order come from this.
Does this thinking make any sense?
No.
Only the word of God allows anyone to observe the creation and make an hypothesis.
Because the word of God is true,
science makes sense.
Constants make sense!
You can form an hypothesis because,
(say it with me…)
THE WORD OF GOD IS TRUE!
Axioms are axioms because Gods word
establishes them.
Explain how an atheist can form an hypothesis!
“This water froze when I put it in the freezer set at 32 degrees, but since everything is random chance, I can’t be sure I will get the same result next time.”
Absurd! Atheist’s don’t do science that way, even though that’s how they explain the creation. They live life enjoying “constants” like the Christian.
Atheist’s form an hypothesis with the understanding of universal constants/laws that they steal from the word of God.
The concrete is solid, so I can walk in it. But with the mindset of random chance, and nothing is constant, how can the atheist be sure that the sidewalk will be solid as he takes his next step? He can’t.
He’s irrational.
The atheist must steal
from the Christian worldview
in order to make any sense in his world.
Scripture is not only truthful in what it says,
IT IS THE SOURCE OF ALL TRUTH!
“Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools…” Romans 1:22
Soli Deo Gloria
“Thy word is truth.”
John 17:17
