The Highway Forums General Discussion Theology Discussion Forum The Doctrine of the Atonement

A deep dive into the influences and foundations of American law (including founders’ views on a well ordered society where sin and decay does not overcome peace & the common good is essential, especially in light of the specter of a rogue and co-opted/corrupted system that is applying an anti-natural, tyrannical ruling philosophy under the guise of legitimacy and expediency. Opinions divorced from reality are an automatic disqualifier in my book.

I consider myself a presuppositionalist (even before I ever knew who Van Til was) for the mere fact that most of my classical defenses for Christianity are swiftly dismissed or reasoned away in my personal experience. That doesn’t mean I agree with everything VanTil has said (although when properly presented I think he’s pretty brilliant). I do think non-believers/practical atheists can know and do good, productive things to some degree, they just have a woefully incomplete picture of where good comes from and the greater/greatest good (Psalm 14:1). In addition, their motives are usually off. But so are our motives when our faith is not in exercise.
