We use the Law to show the exceeding sinfulness of sin. The Gospel brings to light that the God who made everything does not dwell in temples made w/ hands, and preaches men everywhere should repent because God has fixed a day in which He will judge the worl din righteousness through Jesus, "having furnished proof to all men by raising Him frm the dead." Acts 17. We musn't forget to preach the resurrection as well. IF Christ is not raised, we are still in our sins. Justification includes His resurrection!fisherwomanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08396753704386695004noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7670425954609557512.post-60610272321450657822009-04-26T21:13:00.000-07:002009-04-26T21:13:00.000-07:00I've not yet had opportunity to watch the debate m...I've not yet had opportunity to watch the debate myself, but have read commentary such as this on the result.<br /><br />It seems that everyone is more familiar with the "Classical Apologetic" approach: using evidence to get near to proving "god" in a general sense, and then trying to convince the atheist (apart from Scripture) that the "general god" at least makes it possible that the "particular God" of the Bible is a rational conclusion.<br /><br />Enter in the cosmological, the teleological, the moral and cumulative arguments for God's existence.<br /><br />Ray and Kirk are approaching the issue from more of a presuppositional, Biblical starting point, and more power to them. It seems like foolishnes to the world: they are without excuse.<br /><br />The Apostles didn't try to "prove" God's existence: they always assumed it. Then they launched into Biblical verse after Biblical verse, or pointed to heathen authors who pointed to the fact that even they knew, at bottom, that God exists. <br /><br />I daresay: let's not join our enemies and second-guess our only foundation--the Word of God will endure forever. We underestimate it to our peril.<br /><br />~James H<br />http://brazenhusseys.blogspot.com/Brazen Hussey'shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08862027305480649279noreply@blogger.com
