All who love truth listen to Christ

Anything that blurs the line between reality and make-believe is a fallacy. Fallacies always make it harder to sort out the difference between truth and error.

Warning! Memorizing many fallacies may give you a false sense of security, but it won’t help you be rational. It won’t help you detect irrationality. You can easily irritate other people by claiming they’ve committed one fallacy or another, but you won’t be getting closer to truth.

All truth is hidden in Christ, and all who love truth listen to Christ. Enter into His presence with thanksgiving, honor, and praise. Remember that all who seek Jesus find Him. In Him, they find truth, knowledge, wisdom, understanding, and righteousness.

They let truth forsake them.

Let not mercy and truth forsake you. Bind them around your neck. Write them on the tablet of your heart. And so find favor and high esteem in the sight of God and man. Trust in the LORD with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct your paths. Do not be wise in your own eyes. Fear the LORD and depart from evil. It will be health to your flesh, and strength to your bones. ~ Proverbs 3:3-8

They let mercy and truth forsake them. The insanity we see around us today in our so-called “woke” culture can be traced back to the insane philosophy ironically called “Rationalism,” the idea that the human mind can manufacture truth without the benefit of experience, observation, or divine revelation. Add to that the idiotic ways the schools and textbooks have tried to get around the fact that sound reasoning must have valid form and true premises. They failed to account for the fact that the human mind can’t reason to truth, and rational thought is impossible without truth. We even need truth to interpret our experiences and observations. All wisdom and knowledge of truth are hidden in Christ Jesus, and He is the Light Who lights every person that comes into the world. Those who refuse to acknowledge Him, thank Him, and give Him the glory for this knowledge gradually lose the ability to discern the difference between God’s truth and the lies that come from fallen carnal minds or demons.

The reason the world has gone crazy

Agreeing on Premises

Since ungodly thinkers have no path to true premises that prove conclusions, they often suggest an alternative to true premises. They couldn’t prove any of their premises using godless thinking, so they invented a workaround. They decided it’s enough if they agree on premises. Two or more people can agree on certain premises. They pretend the premises are true because they agree on them. Agreeing doesn’t prove the premises, and no one believes the premises have been proven. They just ignore that fact and continue as if the premises were proven. And then, they use unsound logic (logic without true premises) to reason to conclusions. Then, they become dogmatic about those conclusions. This is another part of why the world has gone crazy.

If you agree on the premises rather than proving the premises, you can have a conversation. You can use proper form in your logic all you like, but proper form can’t make your premises true. You could prove you agree on the premises, but you can’t prove the premises. You can’t prove your conclusions are true. You can agree, but you would be agreeing to deceive yourself. Agreement isn’t the same thing as truth.

As you can see, ungodly thinking is a terrible problem. It stumbles around aimlessly in a world of make-believe. Ungodly thinking is always irrational. That’s a problem. Ungodly thinkers try to project their problem onto godly thinkers. However, godly thinking doesn’t have that problem.

Ungodly thinkers are ungodly thinkers because they refuse to seek God

The only way to have sound reasoning is to listen to the voice of God as He reveals the truth to you. You need Jesus.

You can’t prove to another person that God speaks to you.

If you speak by the Holy Spirit, the other person is hearing the voice of God through you. And if they seek God, God will speak the same thing to them.

Ungodly thinkers are ungodly thinkers because they refuse to seek God and refuse to acknowledge God when they hear Him speak to them. Not even God can get through to them because God doesn’t force Himself on anyone. They have free choice to ignore God.

ALL CLAIMS ARE BASELESS UNLESS GOD MAKES THE CLAIM!

Often, people make claims based on authority. You need to ask, “What is the authority?” you need to ask, “What is the starting point9T for the claim?” you need to ask, “How do you know?”

When you ask these three questions and give them serious thought, you begin to realize the weakness of almost all reasoning used around you.

If you make a truth claim, every premise statement must be true. The premise statements supposedly show that the conclusion is true. Those premise statements must be true.

Truth is absolute by definition. The fallen human mind can’t prove any premise true. The premise is supposed to be the proof, but you need proof of the proof. Every statement needs further proof.

UNLESS GOD MAKES THE STATEMENT!

In other words, you find yourself in an infinite regression of unproven proofs unless God spoke to you.

If you’re going to prove anything, then you must base your reasoning on absolute premises. Can you state the premises clearly? Are the premises absolute truth? Do you have a way to know your premises are true?

Ungodly teachers ignore this problem because the only way they can have true premises is by divine revelation.

Without divine revelation, premises are axiomatic thinking fallacies. Now you understand why skeptics claim you can’t even know you exist. And they claim you can’t know a real world exists.

ONLY ONE WAY EXISTS TO KNOW THE TRUTH

Since schools do a poor job of teaching the problem of the unproven premise, make special note of it now. It is clear that all rational thought has to be based on truth. If you don’t base your thoughts on truth, your thoughts are not rational.

A logical syllogism only tests the form of the argument to see if it’s a valid form. However, a statement can have valid form and still be unsound. The conclusion can be false. You need to do two things before you can know a conclusion is true. You must use valid form, and you must have true premises. Valid form and true premises make a sound argument. If you have a sound argument, you know the conclusion is true.

Logic books tend to leave out the most important component. They don’t tell you how you can know the truth?

How can you know the truth?

The solution is to go back to the root of how you know. You must dig down to the starting point of thinking. The starting point cannot be something you just made up. It can’t be something someone else made up. It must be absolute. Otherwise, you can’t truthfully say you know anything. All you can say is, “That’s what I prefer to be true, so that’s what I prefer to believe.”

The human mind can’t reason to truth. No one can get outside himself or herself to objectively observer or experience anything. And yet knowledge exists. Where does it come from. It comes from God. Those of us who have been willing to acknowledge Him when He leads, teaches, and corrects us have discernment to know the difference between what God is saying and what comes from demons or fallen human minds. The wonder is that anyone who sincerely seeks Christ finds Christ.

TWO-WAY CONVERSATIONS WITH JESUS – ASK YOUR QUESTIONS

You can state logic as a syllogism to expose formal fallacies. Formal fallacies are flaws in the argument’s form. You can restate an argument as a syllogism. That’s a little clumsy for daily living, but it’s a tool. Here’s a problem that makes it hard to analyze the logic. Most people leave out parts of their argument. That leaves you guessing the missing information to complete the syllogism. But guessing isn’t an accurate way of knowing.

Many books on logic focus on the form of the argument. They define the difference between a sound argument and a valid form. And yet, they tend to have a low threshold for truth. In fact, the premise of a syllogism is sometimes referred to as an assumption. They take the position that, in a syllogism, the premises are the statements or propositions assumed to be true, from which the conclusion is logically derived. The term “assumption” is used because the premises are believed or treated as true without requiring proof within the syllogism itself.

However, in formal logic, “premise” is the more precise term that means reality, while “assumption” is often used in more informal or everyday contexts to describe the starting points of an argument. Truth is absolute.

Most logic books are working from inside a bubble of a lie. It’s the secret no one wants to face. The human mind has no access to truth. Without truth, you can’t know anything. Without divine revelation, the human mind can’t access truth. You can’t even get outside yourself to be objective about your experiences or observations. They explain a certain number of fallacies as tests for truth, but they don’t go to the root. They don’t go to the basis for the claim. If you allow them to focus only on the form, you let them fool you.

The Formally-Correct Fallacy a Common Mistake

The formally-correct fallacy is thinking just because the form of logic is valid the logic is sound.

Sound logic must have both valid form and true premises. Some students come out of logic classes thinking if they reduce a statement to a syllogism with valid form they automatically prove the conclusion is true. Some classes even reduce logic to a symbolic language. It’s called symbolic logic. It looks like some kind of advanced math. You could convert any statement to this symbolic language. Teachers tell you this symbolic language avoids ambiguity. However, I have witnessed that those who use the symbolic language can hide many informal fallacies using the language.

What using the language does is give the illusion of mathematical precision. I’m not saying the symbolic language is bad. It can help reveal a formal fallacy. However, it may also misrepresent what someone else said. On the other hand, it doesn’t remove the human tendency toward fallacy. It also gives the illusion that valid form is all that’s needed for sound logic. However, as already stated, valid form isn’t enough to establish truth. Valid form is necessary but not enough. You must also have a true premise. Most teachers don’t teach this fact. They don’t tell students premises must be true. They don’t tell students about the weakness of the human mind without Christ. You know why they avoid or confuse the truth.

The human mind can’t reason to truth. It makes up stuff and is able to deceive us. The Bible warned us. It’s deceitful and desperately wicked. The only answer. Stay in the presence of the Holy Spirit and let Him guide you. He will lead. He will teach. He will correct. You have no need that any man teach you. The Holy Ghost will teach you.

But the anointing which you have received from Him abides in you, and you do not need that anyone teach you; but as the same anointing teaches you concerning all things, and is true, and is not a lie, and just as it has taught you, you will abide in Him. (1 John 2:27)

Secularists knowingly ignorant of the God of Miracles

A Christian friend was driving alone in his car toward a green traffic light. Suddenly, a loud audible voice said, “Stop!” The man hit the brakes and screeched to a stop just before entering the intersection. And it probably saved his life because a car ran the red light and sped through the intersection just in front of him. If God, or an angel, hadn’t spoken and this man hadn’t stopped, that car would have hit him broadside. This man gave glory to God. He knew God kept him safe. When miracles like this happen, many use something they falsely call “knowledge” to make up naturalistic, materialistic explanations. They’re making up stories to claim God does nothing. Thinking they’re wise, they become fools.

I could go on about prayer and healing of the broken neck that was suddenly fine, but two X-rays and a CT Scan had previously confirmed it was broken. I could talk about the abdominal growths that were suddenly gone, the knee that was suddenly made normal after a confirmed diagnosis. I could mention hopelessly ruined relationships that have been restored. I remember prayer correcting career problems and reversing financial difficulties. I could talk about prayer raising the dead to life. Something falsely called “knowledge” or “science” would be scratching around to make up some rationalistic explanation for these examples. However, true knowledge gives glory to God for what He has done.

These are just a few events I know about personally. Others have seen greater miracles. I’ve read about some of them and marveled. Every time God moves, some people work very hard to make it seem as if God were not moving. They do that with something that’s falsely called “knowledge.”

so that they are without excuse: Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened. Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools, ~ Romans 1:20b-22

God is real.

My wife was diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis. She could no longer dress herself, and the X-rays showed bone spurs impinging on her nerves. The doctor said there was very little he could do. She went to a second doctor and got the same story.

However, we went to a church that followed the scriptural order of elders overseeing and pastoring. And we called for the elders who laid hands on her and anointed her with oil as they prayed according to the pattern established in James five. Two people at that meeting had visions of the bone spurs dissolving.

That week, she felt much better, so she could move and dress herself. She still kept her appointment with the doctor, but the doctor was visibly shaken by the obvious healing.

She told the doctor the elders had prayed for her. The doctor told her it’s OK to believe in God, but that she should believe in medicine too. He took another set of X-rays. Then, he said, “Well I don’t know where they went, but they’re gone now.” The doctor couldn’t see because of something falsely called “knowledge.” He assumed God doesn’t heal anyone. It’s built into the culture. It’s taught in schools. It’s in all the media. And it gets into people.

All the faithful who heard about it, on the other hand, were praising God. They were seeing reality as it is. God is real. God heals.
