Psalm 10:4 In the pride of his face the wicked does not seek him. All his thoughts are there is no God." All unbelievers prior to God's regenerating grace were implicitly atheistic in their thoughts, whether they explicitly professed. Whether reasoning or preaching, I do so under the great commission of Christ. I was once lost, and wish that life in the temporal or eternal on no man.

"Yet because God is himself a completely rational God and has created us in his image, there is every reason to believe that he will make argumentation effective." Dr. Cornelius Van Til

If you read my response it is in defense of Christian theism not the contrary

In all seriousness and without arrogance I assumed this apologetic board was for this type of issue. And Paul didnt hesitate to reason with the greeks in Acts 17. If this type of linking to blogs isn't allowed I will not do so. I apologize I was not aware.

Thank you for your insights I have been busy due to the holidays but I will respond as soon as I'm able. GOD BLESS and happy 4th!

1. In response to your first point of being "caught up" according to the literal Greek translation necessitates "with absolute certainty" begs the question. No one denies believers will be caught up. The context of the text refers to the general resurrection of all believers prior to the second advent of Christ. There are many doctrines that are true without explicitly stating the word we use to define them (ex. The trinity). The difference being there is substantial evidence of comparing scripture with scripture that such a doctrine is implicitly being taught. To reduce my agreement to simply saying since the literal word Rapture isn't stated is a staw man you erroneous wove. You would need to show that the being caught up together in 1 Thessalonians 4:16-17 doesn't refer to the general revelation which could only be done by presupossing it as true and removing it from its Co text. Paul was assuring new believers of their brother's and sister's in Christ who had passed away that just as Christ rose again so would they. Such an interpretation if if ignores the following verse and we shall always be with the Lord (not x amount of years) the return with the Lord to earth and reign for a millenia where mortals and immortals coexist). 2. Believers are not appointed to wrath but the Great Tribulation you speak of cannot be extended into the future due to Jesus explicit statement "these things shall not pass away till these things take place" and literal rendering is the Greek genea (which used 5 times in Matthew always refers to the present generation). The entire context was in reference to the temple and it's destruction in Matthew 24 and prior 23. Their were believers on earth when Jesus came I judgement upon Israel and they survived. To assume believers must not be present on earth during the Tribulation in order to survive is erroneous. 3. The events in Revelation coincide with the events of the Great Tribulation proves my point. John said he was a partner during the early stages of the Tribulation that was in its beginning stages Revelation 1:9. The time was indeed near at hand for those churches to whom he wrote.

Thank you for your consideration and take all the time you need. God bless

No sir, you would be correcr. Particularly theonomic postmillinialism which has recently became known as Christian reconstructionalism. There is a grave difference in historic premillinial and dispensational eschatology. Which most of the errors I pursued to address are taught by dispensationalism.

Thanks dor for the advice I will keep that in mind. Any advice on forum protocol or policy in the future is appreciated and welcomed.

The original post was on a blog critiquing and supposedly refuting presuppositional apologetics. There are two replies. Mine is the last under my screen name reconstructionist89. This method is the most consistent method Paul used with the greek philosophers in Acts 17. Follow the link its the first post reconstructionist89.wordpress.com

How can a law be physical? Laws are abstract. And if these laws are merely conventions agreed upon by men they are subject to change; then the law is no longer a law. You are right that society impresses upon us laws but the only absolute ethical unchanging law is the law of God. Thats why health, happiness, joy and unity in human experience is possible. This law of God is written upon the hearts of all men whether loved by the believer or suppressed by the unbeliever.

"I think that any law we make, how objective we think it might be, it will always stay subjective." How can a law be subjective and objective simultaneously? That would fall under the category of the law of contradiction. However, assuming that laws are not absolute or objective as you say, then the law of contradiction wouldn't even exist. So reasoning on this issue is futile. because what we think is good is typical for humans, for the continuing of our species." That is your assumption of what constitutes good. Given the worldview of evolution moral and ethical standards would have no meaning which is why it is often referred to as implicitly endorsing the survival of the fittest. it has been in our mind for tousands of years in order to survive. our good and wrong is totally based on survival instinct. check it yourself: everything you think is good, will help to let our species grow." This is pure prejudicial conjecture. It could be reversed I to saying everything good in our mind furthers the human species due to the law of God written upon the hearts of men. Thus this statement begs the question. everything you think is wrong, will let our species disappear or will hurt our own species." I think your theory of knowledge will hurt our own species because it cannot account for the logic which you employ. Evolution gives no consideration to metaphysics; therefore precludes God of Christianity. If evolution is characterized by change and evolving in time would it not follow that one's idea of right and wrong could possibly change and evolve to? Which would result in subjective moral relativism where everyone does what is right in their on eyes. We cannot assert facts without established the worldview which gives these facts meaning and intelligibility. Evolution fails in this regard. One must presuppose the God of the Bible to know or prove anything.

Thus we can say with Augustine I believe in order to understand.

Science presupposes the God of the Bible. The scientific method of induction presupposes uniformity in nature. If an atheistic scientist were to be consistent with his worldview assumptions of random, chaos, and change the scientific method would be impossible much less intelligence. As for facts, no one interprets facts in the same fashion. Unbelievers knowledge suppresses the truth of God as the creator and controller of all things. Unbelieving scientist can count but cannot account for their ability to do so in terms of their worldview. D the Christian however has no issue at reconciling the scientific method. For uniformity in occurrences are under the sovereign creator. The atheistic scientist borrows presuppositions from the Christian worldview but suppresses it's conclusion in unrighteousness.
