Not only that, they also don't have the background knowledge in understanding issues related to textual criticism and the effect that underlying presuppositions have on any field of study."</i><br /><br />You nailed it Pastor Dusman. Absolutely nailed it.<br /><br />Thanks for doing the debate.

I'm saying that without the *existence* of the Christian God, nothing would be intelligible. This has nothing to do with whether or not men have been exposed to the Bible or the Christian gospel. Good question!Dusmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18050174688923887698noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6789188.post-9786254584050665002010-09-03T09:21:29.118-04:002010-09-03T09:21:29.118-04:00"They have no basis for using the laws of log..."They have no basis for using the laws of logic to begin with in order to create any objection to Christian theism."<br /><br />You're not saying that both morality and logic were <i>introduced</i> with the Christian God, are you?<br /><br />Plato predated Christ. The Code of Hammurabi predated the laws of Leviticus, and even those laws most likely reflected a body of legal and ethical understandings that were already long established.Jameshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01694207997231305470noreply@blogger.com
