You Can’t Justify Knowledge Without God, What You Get When You Believe Truth Is Unknowable, and a Question About Knowledge
Welcome back to The Think Institute Newsletter. Let me remind you that we have officially launched the Worldview Leader Journey, which is our 32-week certificate program in the Biblical Worldview, Family Leadership, and Apologetics. If you are a Christian man, you can check out the Hammer & Anvil Society for free for eight weeks here.
Second, last week week we launched the official Substack for The Think Institute. It’s called Worldview Legacy (same name as our podcast). Now, let’s get into this week’s Newsletter. Every week you get an idea from me, a quote from somebody else, and one thing to think about. Let’s go.
AN IDEA FROM ME
What I’m saying is not that you can’t know anything unless you believe in God, but that nothing you believe can be justified unless the triune God of Scripture exists.
—From my recent debate with “Kev the Atheist.” Watch me react to (and analyze) my own debate here.
A QUOTE FROM SOMEBODY ELSE
“What happens to a culture that is clueless about what is true, good, and just? Pilate answered that question when he declared: “I have the power to crucify you or set you free.” When we believe truth is unknowable, we rob it of any authority. What is left is brute power wielding arbitrary force.”
― Vishal Mangalwadi, The Book that Made Your World: How the Bible Created the Soul of Western Civilization (I highly recommend this book. I’m reading through it right now myself. — Joel).
SOMETHING TO THINK ABOUT
How would you answer someone who told you that certain knowledge is impossible?
