Another Reason For Presuppositional Apologetics

Remaining faithful in times of apostasy is a difficult thing for Christians. Our desire to see people come to faith in Christ can at times cloud our judgment. We so intently desire to see conversions that we unwittingly give in to worldly thinking.

On AOMin's blog, Dr. White speaks at length of a former student, who has departed the faith. The former student is quoted on a Blog as saying:

Atheists are the true worshippers of the true god, The God Who is Not. Our praise to her comes in our refusal to debase her by connecting her with backwards, morally-bankrupt world religions or with this uncaring, painful universe. Our thoughts of her are too high. We are better, more faithful worshippers than any religious person who profanes the concept of the true god by associating it with their hideous faith.

Notice he says that Christianity is morally bankrupt. On what basis does an atheist make this claim? Where does his knowledge of morality arrive from? How does he account for the laws of logic that he is using in his statements (not that he is consistent even there)?

To deny truth and the truth that is found in Christ is to be in folly. It is arrogant to think man can find his way without the one who created him. Christ is the Creator and the fountain head of all truth.

I am glad to see solid Christian men, who stand on the truth and for the truth. It would be very tempting for most pastors to try to reason with this man using human wisdom. We must trust the Gospel to be the power of God unto salvation. God is only honored when His Gospel is proclaimed with clarity and honestly. To do otherwise is to not trust the clear commands of Christ.

The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom, not the end conclusion.
