Absolute logic


The earliest example shows that Adam and Eve ate the fruit before they were allowed to and therefore suffered. Intellect kills when you are not ready for it. Is that why there is so many athestist who claim to be intellectuals because they claim that they think. (I think therefore I am?)

We know that it isn't true of their claim that theist don't think. The funny thing is that when athestist (not a absolute term) pitch those accusations, they have in fact just proven that they don't think as well. So once again the field is leveled, we are the same, just on different sides. Just like Man U fans versus Liverpool fans.

Talking about sides, I shall now take the chance to address the sceptics.

Theres always two sides to a coin, like in order for love to exsist, pain must also exists to define love. Same with good and evil like what Paul said in Romans chapter7:7-12. We cannot say that because pain and suffering (therefore evil) exists, therefore God doesn't exists. Thats a logic flaw by itself.

The existance of God cannot be disproved by introducing the reality of wickedness and suffering. Anyways there can only be two sides when a coin exsist (sorry for the pun). In order for good AND evil to exsist there must be an absolute moral law to define them. And an absolute moral law can only exsist if God exsist.

Because of our finite character, Man cannot be the measure of all things or we will be forced to ask which man is the source of measure. Because of our finitude we cannot assume that we have the capacity to decide whether the moral law exists. Truth is , like how Ravi Zacharias puts it, "No matter how hard we try, we cannot deny a moral frame of reference without invoking a moral absolute."

---

After all the bombardment of truth or perceived truth, one still must make the decision, yes or no. That is when you are stripped of all your armor and forced to confront the decision in its purest sense. No matter how convincing either side is, at the point of decision making you can bring along nothing. This is what i call "beyond proof". I came to realise that the key factor is just to believe, nothing more.

I know, this doesn't make logical sense... but think about it, logic is only what we understood (or think we understand) and logic itself is not infallible. Inspiration cannot be defined by logic, neither could love. Lets look at it this way, centuries ago, people thought that it is illogical to think that the world is round or humans could fly.

The bottomline is this "Logic doesn't save, Christ does."

Amen! very true pal. i think there is a v fine line btw good and evil. a v fine line btw Christians and non-Christians. Both are man, both sinful, both falliable. Just that one has experienced God and one haven't. =)
