betty: Truth is not just a matter of epistemology; it is profoundly ontological. God’s Truth was in the world before the Holy Scriptures, before Plato, before Aristotle....
Spirited: Absolutely. Thus God’s Truth, His Living Word must therefore be our appeal and authority. But against God’s Truth is the “new” Christian, the modernist who claims to be a new man by virtue of his independence from God and his declaration that he is his own reference point. He therefore opposes his own word against the Word of God.
As the ‘new’ Christian reasons according to the relative principles of the new man within him there can be no meeting of mind with those for whom God’s Word is the sun by which they see and interpret all things.
Then there can only be conflict, and that can only be the objective of the thread.
