All Knowledge is Hidden in Christ

Posted on by

<quote from Real Faith & Reason, vol 2>
Those who refuse to acknowledge God miss most of the blessings of science, but God still blesses them and gives them some of His knowledge through science. They can find many things that work because of God’s divine revelation even though they refuse to acknowledge God or thank Him for the blessing of this knowledge. However, as mentioned previously, they’re limited because they can’t tell the difference between revelation and made-up stuff. Therefore, they can’t have certainty about anything. And yet, they accept that and reason as though their uncertainty were certainty. They may also be able to infer from the observations alone. If they don’t go beyond what they observe in the present, they can infer from that. However, when they try to guess beyond what they observe, they run into a problem. When ungodly thinkers try to reason about causes for what they observe, they don’t have a way to discern between truth and error or reality and make-believe. As a result, some of what’s called “science” comes from made-up stuff, while some of it comes from divine revelation. However, ungodly thinkers have no way to tell the difference between made-up stuff and divine revelation.

Brute Beast

<quote from Real Faith & Reason, vol 2>

We already know that the apostle, Jude, mentioned pragmatism. We don’t have to be scientists to experience this pragmatism either. We use sense data to do common tasks, and we don’t have to acknowledge God to do that. So what? Bacteria and bugs do the same. Dogs, cats, and raccoons learn in this way. However, as Jude points out, they’re incapable of rational thought just like we are in those times when we fail to acknowledge God. If we want to reduce ourselves to the level of beasts, incapable of rational thought, we can proceed without God.

Can Science Yield Knowledge?

Posted on by

<quote from Real Faith & Reason, vol 2>
It’s not that science can’t lead to knowledge. Naturalistic science works from observation and reacting to sense data. That’s the nature of the brute-beast mind that God provides for humans in the same way God provides for animals. In addition to this brute-beast pseudo-knowledge, observation is one of the ways God speaks to us. He speaks to us through His creation and reveals reality to us through the things He has made. He speaks to all people this way as stated in The Letter to the Romans. He even speaks to those who refuse to acknowledge Him. True scientific method receives this revelation from God as we observe. Therefore, science can lead to knowledge whenever we listen to and yield to the Holy Spirit.<end quote>

The Source of Knowledge

Posted on by

<quote from Real Faith & Reason, vol 2>

On this trip, we’re going to island-hop from one supposed way of knowing to another. And we’ll start with a proposed way of knowing called “the scientific method.” Then we’ll proceed through several other proposed ways of knowing. In the process, we’ll learn something about how to know truth. Likewise, we’ll also expose the foolishness of some of these proposed ways of knowing.

We’ve already established the fact that all knowledge is hidden in Christ Jesus and that there’s no other source. We’ve also seen that made-up stuff is the only alternative to revealed knowledge. We’ve learned that worldviews, confirmation bias, and the axiomatic thinking fallacies cause a form of insanity. We also understand that the human mind can’t self-generate knowledge.

Ever Learning but Never Coming to a Knowledge of the Truth

Posted on by

<quote from Real Faith & Reason, vol 2>

The apostle Paul wrote prophetically about perilous times when people would love pleasure more than they love God. And Paul went on to say they would be “ever learning, and never coming to the knowledge of the truth.” (2 Timothy 3:1-7) From this Scripture, we see that it’s possible to learn untrue concepts and ideas, and in those cases, the words “education” and “learning” don’t apply to anything real. Education without truth is brainwashing and indoctrination. It educates students into ignorance and keeps them from knowing how to tell the difference between good and evil, truth and error, or reality and make-believe. So, many courses that propose to teach this difference fall short of it, but they encourage irrational thinking instead.

Proposed Fake Paths to Knowledge

Posted on by

<quote from Real Faith & Reason, vol 2>
We hear some thinkers speak of various forms of knowledge such as the following:
 
  • a posteriori knowledge
  • a priori knowledge
  • dispersed knowledge
  • domain knowledge
  • empirical knowledge
  • encoded knowledge
  • explicit knowledge
  • known unknowns
  • meta-knowledge
  • procedural knowledge
  • propositional knowledge
  • descriptive knowledge
  • declarative knowledge
  • situated knowledge
  • tacit knowledge
  • non-propositional knowledge
  • logical knowledge
  • semantic knowledge
  • systemic knowledge
 
The problem is that not one of these supposed forms of “knowledge” can get us to knowledge of the truth. When we examine each of them, we find hot air and no foundation for truth. Then the same people talk about concepts such as the following:
 
  • coherence theory of truth
  • correspondence theory of truth
  • pragmatic theory of truth
  • semantic theory of truth
  • redundancy theory of truth
  • logical empiricism to reason to truth
However, not one of these concepts can get us to knowledge of the truth either.
 
And then there are those who claim to know that no truth can be known, but they’re refuting themselves. Their claim is internally conflicted. Plus, they’re claiming to know the status of every person who has ever lived. They’re denying that God knows all things, cannot lie, and reveals truth to those who seek Him. But they’re making that denial based on a bare claim. They’re just making it up and claiming that it’s true. They have no basis in fact. They’re claiming to know the spiritual experience of every person who ever lived, and they’re gaslighting millions of followers of Christ to whom Jesus Christ reveals absolute, though partial, truth. In other words, they’re claiming to be omniscient, knowing all things. But they’re lying to us.
 
And these are the experts on knowledge. They know nothing about truth, and they teach in universities.

ALL Knowledge is Hidden in Christ Jesus

Posted on by

<quote from Real Faith & Reason, vol 2>
Let’s get obvious again. There’s a difference between knowledge and opinion. Unfortunately, this difference isn’t always clear. Reality is real and excludes all unreality. Knowledge is knowledge because it’s certainty about reality and truth. However, if we can’t know truth with certainty, everything is vapor. So without certainty, what poses as discussion merely attempts to manipulate others and gain control over them.

We Need You, Lord

Posted on by

<quote from Real Faith & Reason, vol 2>
We can see that, in our own strength, we can’t overcome our tendency to fall into error. We need You, Lord. Help us to know You better. Take away the barriers that we have set up, barriers that keep us from knowing You in a more intimate way than we have ever imagined. Amen.
 
This leg of our quest finally ventures into the territory of knowing, and we’ll travel all the way to truth. So we must leave the land of opinions behind us and firmly take hold of reality.

Truth is Absolute

Posted on by

<quote from Real Faith & Reason, vol 2> Truth is absolute by nature even if incomplete. And truth excludes all made-up stuff and everything false. Fortunately, there’s a way to have truth, and this way is knowing the Person Who is Truth. Outside of Him, no one can have truth, which is why ungodly thinkers are forced to rely on fallacies if they refuse to acknowledge Him. And we can only have a true premise by divine revelation. That’s why, without divine revelation, we lose touch with reality. <end quote> #RealFaith&Reason Have you read this FREE book yet? “Real Faith & Reason” gives the absolutely certain proof of the Bible and the God of the Bible and shows how you can have real faith.

Irrational Thinkers

Posted on by

<quote from Real Faith & Reason, vol 2>
We’ve looked at several ways thinkers lose touch with reality. However, irrational thinkers can find hundreds of creative ways to lose touch with reality, and we’ve only mentioned a few. Each of these ways confuses made-up stuff with reality. All these ways blur the distinction between what’s real and what’s not real. Fallacies are the mechanisms used to blur this distinction. We can sort all fallacies into two types: axiomatic thinking and smokescreen. Axiomatic thinking and smokescreen fallacies are the problems. The solution is reasoning from a true premise and never adding made-up stuff to our reasoning.
