Presuppositional Apologetics | No Neutral Ground?
Episode 2.106
In this episode, Michael and Zach begin a new two-part series on presuppositional apologetics by examining one of its central claims: that there is no such thing as a neutral thinker. Drawing from passages like Romans 1, Proverbs 1, and Colossians 2, the conversation explores how presuppositional apologists argue that every worldview rests on foundational assumptions about truth, authority, morality, and reason.
The discussion walks through the major ideas behind presuppositionalism, including worldview analysis, “borrowed capital,” the suppression of truth, and the claim that Christianity alone provides the necessary foundation for logic, science, and morality. Michael and Zach also compare presuppositionalism with evidential and classical apologetics, highlighting where these approaches differ in method and emphasis.
At the same time, the episode critically evaluates several presuppositional claims and asks whether the movement sometimes overstates its case regarding neutrality, reason, and the role of evidence. Rather than functioning as an endorsement of presuppositional apologetics, this episode serves as an introduction and examination of the system—looking carefully at both its insights and its potential weaknesses.

00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:02,800
All right.
Michael, I'm gonna need you to
2
00:00:02,800 --> 00:00:05,200
be.
Objected here, you caught the
3
00:00:05,200 --> 00:00:06,720
sigh on that, but keep going
you.
4
00:00:07,120 --> 00:00:10,520
Caught the sigh this is gonna
this is this is taking a lot out
5
00:00:10,520 --> 00:00:16,800
of Michael because we are
talking presup apologetics, the
6
00:00:16,880 --> 00:00:21,120
bane of everything Michael
stands for I'm I'm excited for
7
00:00:21,120 --> 00:00:25,200
this episode cause I've always
been fascinated by presup
8
00:00:25,200 --> 00:00:30,920
apologetics mainly because a lot
of those who endorse it I I like
9
00:00:32,560 --> 00:00:36,120
when I think of people presup,
you think of people and I don't
10
00:00:36,120 --> 00:00:38,520
necessarily love James white but
I think he's a smart guy the
11
00:00:38,520 --> 00:00:41,200
more it's like the more I listen
to him I kind of get aggravated
12
00:00:41,200 --> 00:00:43,840
you know what I'm saying like
it's like he knows a lie but.
13
00:00:44,320 --> 00:00:49,560
I don't ever listen to his
podcast ever anymore.
14
00:00:49,560 --> 00:00:53,080
But what what I did listen to
you don't come away with like,
15
00:00:53,480 --> 00:00:57,760
OK, I I am caught up on the hope
of this.
16
00:00:57,840 --> 00:01:00,120
Or this?
Is what I'm gonna go do.
17
00:01:00,120 --> 00:01:01,480
Like, yeah.
Same thing, I don't listen.
18
00:01:01,480 --> 00:01:03,600
To it.
Anymore and I feel like I don't
19
00:01:03,600 --> 00:01:05,319
know if it's like monologues are
hard.
20
00:01:05,480 --> 00:01:07,280
I don't know what I don't know
what it is, but it's like I'm
21
00:01:07,280 --> 00:01:10,480
just like, that was a slog.
If there's like a specific thing
22
00:01:11,520 --> 00:01:13,960
other people I'm gonna put I
should have looked this up.
23
00:01:13,960 --> 00:01:16,680
It's whatever the sigh.
Do you know this guy?
24
00:01:16,680 --> 00:01:17,320
His name?
Sigh.
25
00:01:17,400 --> 00:01:18,760
Young.
He was the pitcher.
26
00:01:19,480 --> 00:01:20,320
Is that who you're talking
about?
27
00:01:21,240 --> 00:01:24,720
Yeah, exactly.
Vodi Bochum would say he's a
28
00:01:25,440 --> 00:01:30,000
precept Sighten, Brig and Kate,
I'm probably saying he's a
29
00:01:30,000 --> 00:01:31,400
Canadian.
I apologize.
30
00:01:31,400 --> 00:01:34,040
Who does the precept mess?
A lot, A lot People like Jeff
31
00:01:34,040 --> 00:01:36,680
Durbin.
I'm kind of fascinated by it and
32
00:01:36,680 --> 00:01:38,840
I and we'll get into it more,
but I think there's an appeal
33
00:01:38,840 --> 00:01:39,320
to.
It.
34
00:01:40,400 --> 00:01:42,200
But Van Till Botsen, that's
right.
35
00:01:42,520 --> 00:01:44,880
Some of these people, they have
some famous debates.
36
00:01:45,080 --> 00:01:47,200
I did see a clip, maybe because
I've been looking at this for a
37
00:01:47,200 --> 00:01:48,800
long time.
Saw a clip of John MacArthur.
38
00:01:48,880 --> 00:01:50,600
Have you seen this?
This talked about?
39
00:01:50,960 --> 00:01:55,400
He said Van Till lectured his
first week of seminary and he
40
00:01:55,400 --> 00:01:56,680
was like, it was the worst week
of my life.
41
00:01:56,680 --> 00:01:57,600
He's like, I couldn't follow
anything.
42
00:01:57,600 --> 00:01:59,560
He's like, I just wanted to like
preach Scripture and more text.
43
00:01:59,560 --> 00:02:01,080
And I got like lost in all of
this stuff.
44
00:02:02,400 --> 00:02:05,640
But really, and I think all
these people that really endorse
45
00:02:05,640 --> 00:02:10,039
it, really smart people and I
like a lot of their system, but
46
00:02:10,039 --> 00:02:11,880
we'll get into it.
We got the best person.
47
00:02:12,120 --> 00:02:14,560
They'll talk through it.
The the apologist
48
00:02:15,080 --> 00:02:17,280
extraordinaire.
Cause I think there's the, and
49
00:02:17,280 --> 00:02:19,520
you probably, but there's a lot
of things, maybe not a lot.
50
00:02:19,520 --> 00:02:21,920
There's some things that precept
really does well, but maybe the
51
00:02:22,240 --> 00:02:25,880
the whole system is flawed.
Yeah, I'm not, I'm not
52
00:02:25,880 --> 00:02:30,960
necessarily agreeing with the
the statement that yeah, well.
53
00:02:31,080 --> 00:02:34,000
Let's let's, let's get into it.
And this doesn't pique your
54
00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:35,800
interest.
I don't know what will.
55
00:02:35,800 --> 00:02:39,360
So let's go ahead and take it to
the next level.
56
00:02:39,720 --> 00:02:48,760
Let's fire up that twangy music.
From the hearts of the Low
57
00:02:48,760 --> 00:02:54,080
Country in South Carolina.
It's the Take Two podcast where
58
00:02:54,080 --> 00:02:57,240
we take theology to the next
level and what what I.
59
00:02:57,240 --> 00:02:59,080
Want to do here?
I'm going to go over some notes
60
00:02:59,080 --> 00:03:03,200
Michael and I both prepared by
reading a book by a pre supper,
61
00:03:04,080 --> 00:03:06,800
you know, and I and I think he
did a good job of articulating
62
00:03:06,800 --> 00:03:08,720
his view.
Like, I think that kind of makes
63
00:03:08,720 --> 00:03:11,240
sense.
If by that you mean I understand
64
00:03:11,240 --> 00:03:14,400
what he.
Believes yes yeah, this would be
65
00:03:14,440 --> 00:03:15,640
a great podcast.
I can't wait.
66
00:03:15,840 --> 00:03:17,640
So I I put some of these notes
together.
67
00:03:17,920 --> 00:03:21,320
I'll look over it and or I'll go
through it as I go through it.
68
00:03:21,320 --> 00:03:23,680
Feel free jump in and be like
man 'cause I'm I'm.
69
00:03:24,080 --> 00:03:27,120
What I'm going to try to do here
is represent what a pre supper
70
00:03:27,120 --> 00:03:30,040
would say, not necessarily say
man.
71
00:03:30,040 --> 00:03:31,520
'Cause I'm not necessarily a pre
supper.
72
00:03:31,640 --> 00:03:35,520
No, I like a lot about I like a
lot of pre supper, but I, I, I'm
73
00:03:35,520 --> 00:03:37,600
like 80% there and I can't get
the whole way.
74
00:03:37,600 --> 00:03:41,040
I I would love it if it could be
a tool in your tool belt, but I
75
00:03:41,040 --> 00:03:43,200
think it can't be.
I think it's got to be all or
76
00:03:43,200 --> 00:03:44,880
nothing is what it seems like.
I don't even.
77
00:03:45,000 --> 00:03:49,600
I don't even know what a tool a
new tool belt even means for a
78
00:03:49,600 --> 00:03:53,400
pre supper if if I understand
their their system correctly.
79
00:03:53,400 --> 00:03:57,440
Yeah, yeah, yeah 'cause you
don't need any tools except for
80
00:03:57,440 --> 00:03:59,720
their for.
You know, well, I mean his his
81
00:03:59,720 --> 00:04:04,200
thing was only believe that's
the name of his and he uses the
82
00:04:05,120 --> 00:04:09,000
we're already getting fired.
Are we talking to chiefs and a
83
00:04:09,000 --> 00:04:10,720
flag?
Are we talking priests up?
84
00:04:10,760 --> 00:04:12,400
I can't tell.
Yeah, it's the same.
85
00:04:12,840 --> 00:04:16,120
He uses this narrative that
we've talked about before in the
86
00:04:16,120 --> 00:04:17,440
juxtaposition.
That's right.
87
00:04:17,440 --> 00:04:18,360
Yeah.
Yeah, I saw the mark.
88
00:04:18,480 --> 00:04:20,200
Yeah, yeah.
So this guy is like coming.
89
00:04:20,200 --> 00:04:23,760
He's like, hey, my 12 year old
daughter is sick.
90
00:04:24,360 --> 00:04:29,000
Jesus gets interrupted by this.
I think she's a gentile, right?
91
00:04:29,200 --> 00:04:30,280
Yeah, Cyrophoenician or
something.
92
00:04:30,280 --> 00:04:34,080
Yeah, Cyrophoenician and she's
had a issue of blood for 12
93
00:04:34,080 --> 00:04:35,680
years.
So you're pointing out those
94
00:04:35,680 --> 00:04:39,680
similarities and he's like who
who touched me and the disciples
95
00:04:39,680 --> 00:04:41,040
was like we're in a crowd of
Jesus.
96
00:04:41,040 --> 00:04:43,840
Everyone's touching.
You said no power went out and
97
00:04:44,240 --> 00:04:48,880
and sorry to to to derail us,
but but, but I got to I just got
98
00:04:48,880 --> 00:04:51,520
to tell the story.
And so, you know, he finishes up
99
00:04:51,520 --> 00:04:56,720
with her and then someone during
that time comes to Gyrus Jarius
100
00:04:57,480 --> 00:05:01,520
and basically says your daughter
has died.
101
00:05:01,680 --> 00:05:06,960
And Jesus says to him in a time
of emotional distress and a time
102
00:05:06,960 --> 00:05:11,280
of, you know, hey, just believe,
have faith in me.
103
00:05:12,040 --> 00:05:17,600
And of course you should take
that as how that is what Jesus
104
00:05:17,600 --> 00:05:19,920
meant there was.
This is how you give the gospel.
105
00:05:20,360 --> 00:05:23,280
You just go around people and
say only believe.
106
00:05:23,440 --> 00:05:25,560
And if they don't, you just wash
your hands of them.
107
00:05:25,800 --> 00:05:29,760
Don't interact with them at all.
Just say you know, you know,
108
00:05:30,280 --> 00:05:33,720
Shake the dust off your sandals.
There you.
109
00:05:33,720 --> 00:05:36,760
Go Yeah, well, let let's get
into it where where they would
110
00:05:36,760 --> 00:05:40,960
base foundational thought for a
pre supper, which you might
111
00:05:40,960 --> 00:05:43,160
agree with this.
There's no such thing as a
112
00:05:43,160 --> 00:05:45,480
neutral thinker.
There's only competing world
113
00:05:45,480 --> 00:05:48,440
views when you get to the bottom
of it, they're all rooted in
114
00:05:48,440 --> 00:05:50,760
their own ultimate authority
claims.
115
00:05:51,120 --> 00:05:53,160
And so we, we live in this
world, you know, we live in the
116
00:05:53,160 --> 00:05:56,200
science age.
It tells us to be objective, to
117
00:05:56,200 --> 00:05:59,040
follow the evidence, leave faith
out of it.
118
00:05:59,320 --> 00:06:02,320
Whether it's a podcast, a
classroom, a conversation with a
119
00:06:02,320 --> 00:06:06,800
skeptic, the assumption a lot of
times is the same that that if
120
00:06:06,800 --> 00:06:08,880
we find some common ground, some
neutral ground, we can all
121
00:06:08,880 --> 00:06:10,400
stand.
We can look at the facts, come
122
00:06:10,440 --> 00:06:14,080
to our conclusions, we can
remove bias and what a pre
123
00:06:14,080 --> 00:06:17,080
supper would say.
What what if neutrality actually
124
00:06:17,080 --> 00:06:18,960
is a myth?
And they'll say this a lot.
125
00:06:18,960 --> 00:06:22,040
What if no one comes to the
table without bringing not only
126
00:06:22,040 --> 00:06:25,480
assumptions, but deeply rooted
assumptions about reality, truth
127
00:06:26,040 --> 00:06:28,000
and authority?
And I think what this guy Paul
128
00:06:28,000 --> 00:06:31,240
Taylor said in his book was
evidence isn't the problem.
129
00:06:31,240 --> 00:06:33,960
I think he used the analogy like
you read a mystery novel.
130
00:06:34,160 --> 00:06:36,800
Everyone's got the same
evidence, but there's like shape
131
00:06:36,800 --> 00:06:40,360
shift in you know what I mean?
And so he's like evidence.
132
00:06:40,360 --> 00:06:41,800
What what's that even mean
Anyway?
133
00:06:41,800 --> 00:06:44,400
You're you know, and I think
this is that that's an idea that
134
00:06:44,400 --> 00:06:49,720
pre suppers are going to look to
where you just got to get at, at
135
00:06:49,720 --> 00:06:52,640
the root of it all.
You need to get underneath all
136
00:06:52,640 --> 00:06:55,320
of this if you're going to
engage with.
137
00:06:55,320 --> 00:06:59,040
Someone, and he specifically
gives the example of Ken Ham
138
00:06:59,040 --> 00:07:01,800
answers in Genesis.
And he says that Ken Ham said
139
00:07:01,800 --> 00:07:05,720
that I used to give evidence for
creation and then evolutionists,
140
00:07:05,760 --> 00:07:08,440
they didn't just buy it, they
would come back and they would
141
00:07:08,440 --> 00:07:10,520
bring their own evidence.
And then I would bring our
142
00:07:10,520 --> 00:07:12,360
evidence and then they would
bring their own evidence.
143
00:07:12,360 --> 00:07:14,440
And finally I stopped doing
that.
144
00:07:14,440 --> 00:07:18,760
And I just wanted to point out
that your presuppositions will
145
00:07:18,760 --> 00:07:23,000
color how you view the evidence.
I think that gives away so much
146
00:07:23,360 --> 00:07:29,240
because it's almost as if you're
saying my system coheres, your
147
00:07:29,240 --> 00:07:32,560
system coheres.
There's no real difference for
148
00:07:32,560 --> 00:07:35,160
you to tell which one is
actually right.
149
00:07:35,480 --> 00:07:38,120
It all hinges on your
presuppositions.
150
00:07:38,160 --> 00:07:41,040
Now I know what someone else's
that is.
151
00:07:41,040 --> 00:07:43,160
That's how they argue and and in
the book.
152
00:07:43,160 --> 00:07:46,560
Sometimes he leaves it.
Flat like that I think.
153
00:07:46,560 --> 00:07:51,040
What he would come in at that
time and say is he would talk
154
00:07:51,040 --> 00:07:53,560
about the precondition of
knowledge and he would say our
155
00:07:53,560 --> 00:07:55,800
presuppositions make sense of
the world.
156
00:07:56,480 --> 00:08:00,280
They give you a knowledge, a
foundation for knowledge and
157
00:08:00,320 --> 00:08:04,000
logic.
But when you do that, you are
158
00:08:04,000 --> 00:08:07,680
giving evidence for your view.
So you're saying they're
159
00:08:07,680 --> 00:08:09,880
undercutting?
They are doing the very thing
160
00:08:09,880 --> 00:08:13,280
that they say they can't do.
They're giving an argument that
161
00:08:13,280 --> 00:08:15,640
a classical apologize.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
162
00:08:15,840 --> 00:08:17,880
I'll give the transcendental
argument all the time.
163
00:08:17,880 --> 00:08:20,920
There's many forms of it.
The moral argument, the pure
164
00:08:20,920 --> 00:08:23,720
transcendental argument, the
argument from the applicability
165
00:08:23,720 --> 00:08:25,680
of mathematics.
Like you, I could go down the
166
00:08:25,680 --> 00:08:26,480
list.
Argument for.
167
00:08:26,480 --> 00:08:31,120
Consciousness, life, all those
things, they transcend the
168
00:08:31,120 --> 00:08:33,520
physical world.
And so I'd stand right next to a
169
00:08:33,520 --> 00:08:37,520
priest supper and say, yes, an
atheist materialist view of the
170
00:08:37,520 --> 00:08:40,640
world cannot make sense of those
things.
171
00:08:41,039 --> 00:08:44,280
And so I know you're you're
talking about this big idea of
172
00:08:44,280 --> 00:08:48,280
no neutral ground just to come
full circle back to no neutral
173
00:08:48,280 --> 00:08:52,240
ground as a good Calvinist
sovereign grace.
174
00:08:52,720 --> 00:08:57,080
Yeah, there's no neutral ground.
But I don't know who's been
175
00:08:57,080 --> 00:09:01,120
elected and who's not.
And these are means, you know,
176
00:09:01,360 --> 00:09:03,160
just giving the gospel to
someone.
177
00:09:03,760 --> 00:09:08,120
They are.
They're using the same mind that
178
00:09:09,240 --> 00:09:11,960
they would use to evaluate the
the bad news and the good news
179
00:09:11,960 --> 00:09:15,120
of the gospel that they'd use to
evaluate the cosmological
180
00:09:15,400 --> 00:09:18,240
argument, right?
So you can't get around that.
181
00:09:18,400 --> 00:09:20,160
Sorry, no, no, no, no, no.
It's 'cause I like this
182
00:09:20,160 --> 00:09:22,120
interaction, 'cause this, this
is good, 'cause really my
183
00:09:22,520 --> 00:09:25,680
experience come from from this
book only believe I did listen
184
00:09:25,680 --> 00:09:30,680
to the Bodson Stein debate and
the Bonson sprawl debate to kind
185
00:09:30,680 --> 00:09:33,640
of get the intramural side of it
too, which I thought was really,
186
00:09:34,040 --> 00:09:37,440
really helpful as well.
Bonson Stein debate, beautiful.
187
00:09:37,600 --> 00:09:41,560
I listen to that and I go, this
is great, especially the part
188
00:09:41,600 --> 00:09:45,000
that gets a lot of play where,
and I wish debates did this
189
00:09:45,000 --> 00:09:48,040
today because they don't
anymore, where you have this.
190
00:09:48,800 --> 00:09:51,160
Oh, cross examine is strange.
So good, Yeah.
191
00:09:51,440 --> 00:09:53,240
Where you get to ask yes or no
questions?
192
00:09:53,240 --> 00:09:55,000
Straight to them.
Yeah, yeah, straight to them.
193
00:09:55,080 --> 00:09:57,360
I think that's so good because
you have this interaction
194
00:09:57,360 --> 00:10:02,560
between Bahnson and the Stein
where one of, I think, I can't
195
00:10:02,560 --> 00:10:06,360
remember which one goes first,
but basically Bahnson gets Stein
196
00:10:06,360 --> 00:10:09,480
to admit that he believes in the
laws of logic.
197
00:10:09,520 --> 00:10:12,680
And he says, and it's like Stein
doesn't even really listen to it
198
00:10:12,720 --> 00:10:14,520
'cause then he turns right
around and he's like, do you
199
00:10:14,520 --> 00:10:15,800
believe in anything that's
immaterial?
200
00:10:15,800 --> 00:10:18,520
And he's like, yes, the laws of
logic, like what you just so.
201
00:10:19,000 --> 00:10:23,600
But I would argue Bahnson is not
arguing like a preceptor.
202
00:10:23,640 --> 00:10:26,480
He's arguing as a classical
apologist.
203
00:10:26,480 --> 00:10:29,480
Like, he may be limited in his
scope of what he's arguing for,
204
00:10:29,920 --> 00:10:32,720
but he is arguing like a
classical apologist there.
205
00:10:32,920 --> 00:10:36,120
No, I I think that's good.
If we were to define precept
206
00:10:36,120 --> 00:10:40,760
apologetics, we might define it
as a system that argues that
207
00:10:40,760 --> 00:10:45,080
Christianity is not merely one
possible explanation of reality.
208
00:10:45,480 --> 00:10:49,200
It is the necessary foundation
that makes knowledge, logic,
209
00:10:49,440 --> 00:10:52,960
science and morality possible at
all.
210
00:10:53,160 --> 00:10:56,360
And, and someone like Van Till
really kind of the godfather of
211
00:10:56,360 --> 00:11:00,400
all this would say you really
can't reason to God.
212
00:11:00,400 --> 00:11:04,560
And unless you're reasoning from
God, and you'll hear this a lot
213
00:11:04,560 --> 00:11:09,080
in their arguments that they're,
they're borrowing from God's
214
00:11:09,080 --> 00:11:11,640
worldview.
You, you cannot make your
215
00:11:11,640 --> 00:11:13,200
argument without a Christian
worldview.
216
00:11:13,680 --> 00:11:18,360
In his book, Paul Taylor would
say, it's like someone saying,
217
00:11:18,560 --> 00:11:21,040
telling you words aren't
important and words don't matter
218
00:11:21,040 --> 00:11:23,480
and you can't communicate with
words because they're using
219
00:11:23,480 --> 00:11:25,680
words to communicate their
argument.
220
00:11:25,800 --> 00:11:27,720
He's saying that's what an
unbeliever sounds like.
221
00:11:27,920 --> 00:11:31,320
They're borrowing from a
Christian worldview that that
222
00:11:31,320 --> 00:11:33,040
doesn't really make sense in
their worldview, but that's how
223
00:11:33,040 --> 00:11:36,360
they have to make their point.
Yeah, so crossing streams a
224
00:11:36,360 --> 00:11:39,080
little bit because what I
understand a pure precept could
225
00:11:39,080 --> 00:11:43,840
say, he would say you believe in
words because you're using
226
00:11:43,840 --> 00:11:46,400
words.
I'm not even going to tell you
227
00:11:46,400 --> 00:11:48,640
that words exist because you're
using them.
228
00:11:48,960 --> 00:11:51,720
And so to make the analogy come
back, you'd have to tell the
229
00:11:51,720 --> 00:11:55,440
atheist you believe in God, you
do believe in God.
230
00:11:55,840 --> 00:11:58,080
And I think from Scripture
there's a sense when we could
231
00:11:58,080 --> 00:12:03,640
all say everyone deep, deep down
has suppressed the truth of God.
232
00:12:03,640 --> 00:12:05,040
That's what Romans one would
tell us.
233
00:12:05,400 --> 00:12:09,600
And so we'd say that there is
this self deception and they
234
00:12:09,600 --> 00:12:14,120
traded the Creator for creation.
They didn't give thanks to him,
235
00:12:14,360 --> 00:12:18,560
and God gives them over.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
236
00:12:18,560 --> 00:12:20,080
And.
So and so.
237
00:12:20,640 --> 00:12:23,840
I don't know if you've ever
talked to an atheist and argued,
238
00:12:24,200 --> 00:12:27,600
but it I've never found it
helpful to say you actually do
239
00:12:27,600 --> 00:12:29,760
believe in God.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
240
00:12:29,760 --> 00:12:34,960
yeah.
But but Romans one says that the
241
00:12:35,120 --> 00:12:45,120
invisible qualities of God are
plainly seen by his creation.
242
00:12:46,320 --> 00:12:48,400
So.
You're trying to point those out
243
00:12:48,400 --> 00:12:50,080
more.
Yeah.
244
00:12:50,120 --> 00:12:52,880
And this is good because in the
SPRO, the Bonds and Sprole
245
00:12:52,880 --> 00:12:56,520
debate, it's funny 'cause they
both were appealing to Romans 1,
246
00:12:56,520 --> 00:12:58,240
you know what I mean?
And Sprole's like, yeah, he's
247
00:12:58,240 --> 00:13:00,680
like one of his concerns were,
man, you're really minimizing
248
00:13:00,680 --> 00:13:02,440
natural evaluation.
One of you know, we, we're
249
00:13:02,440 --> 00:13:04,200
giving two books.
You're minimizing this book, is
250
00:13:04,200 --> 00:13:07,280
what Sprole was saying.
This vantel you cannot reason to
251
00:13:07,280 --> 00:13:08,960
God.
Paul didn't, I guess, didn't
252
00:13:08,960 --> 00:13:12,760
think that because he's saying
you could plainly see the
253
00:13:12,760 --> 00:13:15,160
invisible attributes.
I don't think David thought that
254
00:13:15,200 --> 00:13:18,160
either.
The heavens are telling of the
255
00:13:18,160 --> 00:13:23,120
glory of God and they're expanse
is declaring the work of his
256
00:13:23,120 --> 00:13:25,840
hands.
David is saying you can look at
257
00:13:25,840 --> 00:13:31,040
the stars and you can reason to
the fact that there is a God.
258
00:13:31,600 --> 00:13:35,480
Well, let's zoom out real quick.
Apologetic approaches, and
259
00:13:35,480 --> 00:13:39,320
you're the expert here.
Let's talk evidential
260
00:13:39,320 --> 00:13:42,840
apologetics.
If you had to, you know, give a
261
00:13:42,840 --> 00:13:45,440
2 sentence a paragraph
definition, how would you
262
00:13:45,440 --> 00:13:47,720
describe evidential apologetics?
Yeah.
263
00:13:47,840 --> 00:13:52,040
Can I start slightly different?
I would say there's broadly 2
264
00:13:52,480 --> 00:13:57,240
huge classes and then there's a
third stepchild that we don't
265
00:13:57,240 --> 00:14:00,360
ever talk about.
So the two the biggest class is
266
00:14:00,360 --> 00:14:04,440
classical apologetics.
Generally, classical apologetics
267
00:14:04,440 --> 00:14:07,760
is described as a 2 step method.
Yeah, and that would be a
268
00:14:07,800 --> 00:14:10,400
critique.
A precept would say that in a
269
00:14:10,400 --> 00:14:12,560
bad way.
Like I just go straight to the
270
00:14:12,560 --> 00:14:13,760
source.
Why are we 2 stepping?
271
00:14:13,840 --> 00:14:14,880
Yeah, Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Anyway.
272
00:14:14,920 --> 00:14:17,560
So I just wanted to.
Whatever yeah, you can't like
273
00:14:17,800 --> 00:14:21,720
you should like Norm Geisler has
like all these things like you
274
00:14:21,720 --> 00:14:24,560
can't, you know anyways, yeah
yeah, yeah, he he addresses all
275
00:14:24,560 --> 00:14:27,120
those things, but it's
classically 2 stepper.
276
00:14:27,120 --> 00:14:31,720
Some have even said three steps.
No, with the advent of extreme
277
00:14:31,720 --> 00:14:35,200
modernism, AKA post modernism
where people don't believe in
278
00:14:35,200 --> 00:14:38,880
the truth, sometimes you have to
argue that truth exists.
279
00:14:39,320 --> 00:14:44,440
Then you argue that God exists.
Then you argue that that the New
280
00:14:44,440 --> 00:14:46,760
Testament in the Bible is
trustworthy in Jesus.
281
00:14:46,760 --> 00:14:48,560
You know the the revelation
about Jesus is true.
282
00:14:48,560 --> 00:14:52,360
And so and so largely you are.
You are first getting them into
283
00:14:52,360 --> 00:14:57,040
a view of theism that and then
you're saying and Christian
284
00:14:57,040 --> 00:14:58,960
theism is the right the right
one.
285
00:14:59,480 --> 00:15:01,520
And you might say, like, William
Lane Craig or someone would fall
286
00:15:01,520 --> 00:15:02,880
into this bucket.
Yeah, like.
287
00:15:02,880 --> 00:15:06,880
Yes, yeah, William Lane Craig,
Greg Kochl, Norm Geisler, RC
288
00:15:06,880 --> 00:15:09,680
Sproule.
Yeah, the list goes.
289
00:15:09,680 --> 00:15:11,800
RC Sproule's the good one to
have in your back talk, but
290
00:15:11,800 --> 00:15:14,240
that's like really good 'cause
he's like real, you know what I
291
00:15:14,280 --> 00:15:17,560
mean?
Paul Yeah, yeah, yeah.
292
00:15:19,000 --> 00:15:22,240
And so then I would say under
that broad umbrella, a classical
293
00:15:22,240 --> 00:15:28,960
apologetic apologist might use
evidentiary, historical, legal,
294
00:15:29,160 --> 00:15:32,280
so he might put a whole bunch of
different things in his tool
295
00:15:32,280 --> 00:15:36,080
belt so that he can meet the
person where they are, where
296
00:15:36,080 --> 00:15:38,440
your hang up is.
That's what I want to address.
297
00:15:38,960 --> 00:15:43,240
And I, as a classical apologist,
I see my job largely as
298
00:15:43,240 --> 00:15:48,720
stripping away the facade and
making you really realize, OK, I
299
00:15:48,720 --> 00:15:52,000
don't have a good like we talk
about like emotional reasons for
300
00:15:52,000 --> 00:15:56,840
not believing in God, volitional
reasons or intellectual reasons.
301
00:15:57,120 --> 00:15:59,840
And I'm trying to strip away all
your intellectual reasons so you
302
00:15:59,840 --> 00:16:02,080
can tell, hey, this is just an
emotional reason.
303
00:16:02,080 --> 00:16:05,680
Like you're mad because he won't
let you sin, or because your
304
00:16:05,680 --> 00:16:09,160
grandmother died, or this is
just you're being rebellious and
305
00:16:09,160 --> 00:16:11,040
helping you come face to face
with who you are.
306
00:16:11,280 --> 00:16:14,880
That's good.
So, so then that's a big camp.
307
00:16:14,880 --> 00:16:19,720
So I would, I would say that
evidential apologetics would be
308
00:16:20,760 --> 00:16:23,600
a underneath the broad umbrella
of classical apologetics.
309
00:16:24,080 --> 00:16:27,000
But basically you are looking
at, you know, there's
310
00:16:27,080 --> 00:16:34,360
archaeological evidential some,
some try to argue only the what
311
00:16:34,360 --> 00:16:36,520
would pass in a court.
I don't know why you would do
312
00:16:36,560 --> 00:16:38,560
that.
So we call that legal apologize.
313
00:16:39,240 --> 00:16:43,120
And then there's precept and
then there's like fideism where
314
00:16:43,200 --> 00:16:44,960
you don't do any apologetics.
You just like.
315
00:16:45,320 --> 00:16:47,920
It's a matter of faith only type
of thing.
316
00:16:47,920 --> 00:16:51,560
Precept's not far from that and
and it's something you know, and
317
00:16:51,560 --> 00:16:54,200
the little bit I've read, I do
appreciate your like calling
318
00:16:54,200 --> 00:16:56,440
this person repentance or you'll
be like, Hey, you're sinful and
319
00:16:56,440 --> 00:16:58,600
this is, you know, you can do
that in a bad way and a good
320
00:16:58,600 --> 00:17:00,720
way.
And it probably depends on on
321
00:17:00,720 --> 00:17:02,560
the person.
I think a preceptor would this
322
00:17:02,560 --> 00:17:04,160
is what I always hear from
preceptors.
323
00:17:04,160 --> 00:17:07,680
I don't know if it's in the
notes, but they're like when you
324
00:17:07,680 --> 00:17:09,319
talk about neutral gun, you're
trying to meet someone where
325
00:17:09,319 --> 00:17:11,520
there is, there'll be like, why
are you putting God on trial?
326
00:17:11,520 --> 00:17:13,200
Or you know what I mean?
They use that kind of language
327
00:17:13,200 --> 00:17:17,480
like God should stand above you,
not you know what I mean?
328
00:17:17,520 --> 00:17:18,599
Like they'll say stuff like
that.
329
00:17:19,000 --> 00:17:20,119
Yeah.
So you want me to address that,
330
00:17:20,119 --> 00:17:20,839
right?
Let's do it this.
331
00:17:20,839 --> 00:17:23,560
Is the time.
You're just laving some steak
332
00:17:23,560 --> 00:17:24,680
out front.
Of the line well, if you're
333
00:17:24,680 --> 00:17:26,920
bringing up like a meeting where
there is, I think to draw out
334
00:17:26,920 --> 00:17:29,040
the difference like a Prince up
would be like, I don't want to
335
00:17:29,040 --> 00:17:30,640
meet them where they are
necessarily.
336
00:17:30,640 --> 00:17:33,600
I want to judge them on behalf
of God.
337
00:17:33,640 --> 00:17:35,080
They they wouldn't say it that
way, but they'll say like
338
00:17:35,080 --> 00:17:36,200
they're talking, you know what I
mean?
339
00:17:36,400 --> 00:17:38,520
Like they would say that's bad.
Yeah, when Paul talked with
340
00:17:38,520 --> 00:17:42,840
Christians about their issues,
he went right to New Testament
341
00:17:42,840 --> 00:17:44,640
scriptures.
He just said he just told them
342
00:17:44,640 --> 00:17:46,600
like it was.
He was accepted as an impossible
343
00:17:47,000 --> 00:17:50,360
When Paul talked to Jews, he
reasoned from the Old Testament
344
00:17:50,360 --> 00:17:52,360
scriptures.
He did that in the synagogues.
345
00:17:52,760 --> 00:17:56,120
When Paul talked to Greeks, he
would reference Old Testament
346
00:17:56,120 --> 00:17:59,520
scriptures, but he also brought
in their own poets.
347
00:17:59,880 --> 00:18:03,480
And if you look at what he has
to say on Mars Hill, he
348
00:18:03,480 --> 00:18:07,640
addresses the three big
questions that the pre Socratic
349
00:18:07,640 --> 00:18:10,440
and Socratic philosophers from
Greek philosophy ask.
350
00:18:10,840 --> 00:18:13,480
What does it mean to exist?
What does it mean to be alive?
351
00:18:13,520 --> 00:18:15,600
What does it mean to change but
be the same?
352
00:18:16,160 --> 00:18:20,000
And he says we have our
existence, our life and we we,
353
00:18:20,600 --> 00:18:22,920
you know, change or something
like all that is found in
354
00:18:22,920 --> 00:18:26,600
Christ.
So he is bringing this Greek
355
00:18:26,600 --> 00:18:30,360
philosophy to these Greek people
and saying, hey, it's all in
356
00:18:30,360 --> 00:18:32,040
Christ.
He's meeting them where they
357
00:18:32,040 --> 00:18:34,440
are.
Some scoff, some like.
358
00:18:34,440 --> 00:18:36,560
We want to hear more, Some
believe and.
359
00:18:37,120 --> 00:18:39,000
That's all you can.
Yeah, that that's good.
360
00:18:39,000 --> 00:18:42,560
It's funny because I feel like
that's like, like it's funny
361
00:18:42,560 --> 00:18:45,440
'cause everyone's like Romans
one, everyone's like Acts 17 or
362
00:18:45,440 --> 00:18:47,240
like everyone like claims these,
you know what I mean?
363
00:18:47,240 --> 00:18:49,120
Isn't that like, funny?
It's all based on your
364
00:18:49,120 --> 00:18:52,080
presuppositions.
Full circle.
365
00:18:53,320 --> 00:18:56,760
Talking about this myth of
neutrality, A presupper would
366
00:18:56,760 --> 00:18:59,920
say that really every argument
assumes the laws of logic.
367
00:18:59,960 --> 00:19:01,600
You know, like there's non
contradiction.
368
00:19:02,040 --> 00:19:05,400
The reliability of human senses,
the uniformity of nature,
369
00:19:05,400 --> 00:19:10,680
objective moral standards.
The key question on what basis
370
00:19:10,680 --> 00:19:13,760
do these things exist?
If if it's really just random,
371
00:19:13,760 --> 00:19:15,400
if it's really just matter plus
chance.
372
00:19:15,400 --> 00:19:18,840
Like how can you even have logic
or objective standards?
373
00:19:19,280 --> 00:19:23,880
You pretend you do, but your
whole basis doesn't account for
374
00:19:23,880 --> 00:19:25,960
that and that, and that's really
if you read these argument, I
375
00:19:25,960 --> 00:19:28,520
mean, listen to these debates.
They're a lot of times just
376
00:19:28,520 --> 00:19:31,040
gonna hit this over and over,
which I I think it is a good
377
00:19:31,040 --> 00:19:34,160
argument.
But at some level it's like you
378
00:19:34,160 --> 00:19:36,480
hear evidence presented.
We're just like, hey, you can't
379
00:19:36,480 --> 00:19:38,000
argue with me, 'cause it's
you're using a lot.
380
00:19:38,000 --> 00:19:39,280
You know what I'm saying?
Allow you to argue with.
381
00:19:39,280 --> 00:19:43,640
Me like it's, you know.
So I I think this is you you
382
00:19:43,640 --> 00:19:47,480
brought up the van till argument
like if someone tells me that he
383
00:19:47,480 --> 00:19:51,960
doesn't believe in words, I'm
not gonna so so when you use
384
00:19:51,960 --> 00:19:53,760
some big philosophical.
Words.
385
00:19:54,120 --> 00:19:58,120
So epistemology, the study of
what you know, right?
386
00:19:58,360 --> 00:20:01,520
Or if I say epistemological, it
has to do with what you know.
387
00:20:01,920 --> 00:20:06,160
If I say ontological, that means
this is good actually exists.
388
00:20:06,320 --> 00:20:09,480
Right, Yeah, 'cause this is this
is this was Sprole made it?
389
00:20:09,720 --> 00:20:11,040
Did you listen to Sprole of
Boston debate?
390
00:20:11,080 --> 00:20:12,800
OK.
I mean, he talked to a class.
391
00:20:12,840 --> 00:20:13,680
OK.
Yeah, Yeah, yes.
392
00:20:13,680 --> 00:20:17,200
At a masters level on there and
so we listen to that whole that
393
00:20:17,200 --> 00:20:21,920
whole Sprole Bondsen debate.
So when precepts are writing
394
00:20:21,920 --> 00:20:27,640
books and they're talking to
themselves, they make an epistle
395
00:20:28,320 --> 00:20:32,040
epistemological claim.
They claim the atheist knows God
396
00:20:32,040 --> 00:20:34,760
exists.
The atheist uses logic and
397
00:20:34,760 --> 00:20:38,360
therefore he knows God exists.
If you look and and listen to
398
00:20:38,360 --> 00:20:43,800
Banson's debate with Stein, he
makes an ontological claim.
399
00:20:43,880 --> 00:20:48,920
He says that because of this,
then God exists.
400
00:20:48,920 --> 00:20:50,600
And classical apologists do that
all the time.
401
00:20:50,600 --> 00:20:55,000
We say because the laws of
logic, they don't they're
402
00:20:55,040 --> 00:20:59,000
they're non physical.
Well, like we would say
403
00:20:59,000 --> 00:21:02,800
consciousness is non physical,
morality is non physical.
404
00:21:03,320 --> 00:21:04,920
They have to be grounded in
something.
405
00:21:05,200 --> 00:21:07,040
The only thing that makes sense
for them to be grounded in is
406
00:21:07,040 --> 00:21:09,280
something that transcends,
transcends the universe.
407
00:21:09,280 --> 00:21:12,760
Cause the universe is physical.
So God must exist.
408
00:21:13,120 --> 00:21:15,120
And that's how Bahnson argues
with Stein.
409
00:21:15,120 --> 00:21:17,640
I would say, yeah.
But then when he's arguing with
410
00:21:17,640 --> 00:21:21,640
Sproul, he shifts to an
epistemological argument.
411
00:21:21,640 --> 00:21:24,920
He says, you know, and so that's
crazy.
412
00:21:24,920 --> 00:21:28,120
I would never, I would never say
to an atheist you know, God
413
00:21:28,120 --> 00:21:30,560
exists because you just use a
logical argument.
414
00:21:30,840 --> 00:21:31,320
I would.
Say.
415
00:21:31,600 --> 00:21:33,120
Because you use a logical
argument.
416
00:21:33,120 --> 00:21:36,320
Let's think about what logic is.
Therefore God exists.
417
00:21:36,400 --> 00:21:39,000
Can you not see that?
Yeah, I know that I in the
418
00:21:39,000 --> 00:21:41,280
limited clubs.
I don't know what I did not look
419
00:21:41,280 --> 00:21:45,080
at these recently for this, but
you look at Jeff Durbin like St.
420
00:21:45,080 --> 00:21:47,120
witnessing or something.
He'll always, you know, say
421
00:21:48,720 --> 00:21:50,240
maybe not always.
I haven't listened to these a
422
00:21:50,240 --> 00:21:52,320
long time, but like your start
up, you know, you think you're
423
00:21:52,320 --> 00:21:54,440
just like Stardust, like how you
know, and he'll just like kind
424
00:21:54,440 --> 00:21:57,880
of really, really get get after
that.
425
00:21:58,280 --> 00:22:02,120
Let's talk about world views
clashing, getting to the root of
426
00:22:02,120 --> 00:22:03,480
what a pre supper would put
forth.
427
00:22:03,480 --> 00:22:07,280
What's a world view really kind
of trying to drill down?
428
00:22:07,680 --> 00:22:09,400
What's the grid you see life
through?
429
00:22:09,400 --> 00:22:14,040
What's your ultimate authority?
What do you trust to interpret
430
00:22:14,400 --> 00:22:17,640
reality and a pre supper would
they're they're very out in
431
00:22:17,760 --> 00:22:19,480
open.
Hey, I've got an ultimate
432
00:22:19,480 --> 00:22:20,800
authority.
You have an ultimate authority.
433
00:22:20,800 --> 00:22:24,280
Everyone has one.
They want to expose this point
434
00:22:24,280 --> 00:22:25,920
and they'll belabor it.
Like what are you appealing to?
435
00:22:25,920 --> 00:22:28,040
What are you appealing to?
Let's get to that and let's just
436
00:22:28,040 --> 00:22:31,680
talk that and you know, you
might say Christianity, God's
437
00:22:31,680 --> 00:22:33,680
revelation, Scripture is the
ultimate authority.
438
00:22:34,240 --> 00:22:37,680
Secularism might look at human
reason, autonomy as ultimate
439
00:22:37,680 --> 00:22:41,800
authority, atheism, naturalism,
matter, time, chance, ultimate
440
00:22:41,800 --> 00:22:44,760
authority, Islam.
You might look at the Quran or
441
00:22:44,760 --> 00:22:49,360
Allah as ultimate authority and
there's no higher Court of
442
00:22:49,360 --> 00:22:51,200
Appeal above this ultimate
authority.
443
00:22:51,480 --> 00:22:55,360
You can't A presuppositionalist
would say you can't step outside
444
00:22:55,360 --> 00:22:58,240
of all world views and judge
them neutrally.
445
00:22:58,240 --> 00:23:01,360
You're always inside of 1 and
that's going to color everything
446
00:23:01,360 --> 00:23:04,360
else.
And so they or want to want to
447
00:23:04,360 --> 00:23:06,000
get to the root like, Hey, what
are you appealing to and just
448
00:23:06,000 --> 00:23:08,800
like drill you on that kind of
over and over and over and over
449
00:23:08,800 --> 00:23:10,960
again.
So one of the verses you have
450
00:23:10,960 --> 00:23:15,040
here, let's do it.
One that's listed that Paul
451
00:23:15,040 --> 00:23:19,760
Frank uses in his book.
Only believe Proverbs 3 five and
452
00:23:19,760 --> 00:23:20,920
six.
Trust in the Lord with all your
453
00:23:20,920 --> 00:23:22,480
heart.
Do not lean on your own
454
00:23:22,480 --> 00:23:25,440
understanding in all your ways.
Acknowledge Him and He will make
455
00:23:25,440 --> 00:23:28,400
your path straight.
First, I would say this is
456
00:23:28,400 --> 00:23:31,160
written to someone who
provisionally already believes.
457
00:23:31,160 --> 00:23:33,680
OK, Yeah.
It's someone within the Jewish
458
00:23:33,680 --> 00:23:37,240
faith.
It is Solomon talking to his
459
00:23:37,240 --> 00:23:38,920
son.
My son, do not forget this.
460
00:23:39,040 --> 00:23:42,600
These teachings don't depart
from what you know.
461
00:23:42,840 --> 00:23:47,080
So already I feel like we're
pulling a verse out of context
462
00:23:47,240 --> 00:23:52,440
because how they would use this
is you don't get to judge God.
463
00:23:52,440 --> 00:23:58,720
And they'll also use, they'll
use the the verse from I think
464
00:23:58,720 --> 00:24:01,000
it's Deuteronomy that says do
not put the Lord to.
465
00:24:01,000 --> 00:24:01,840
God to the test.
Yeah, yeah.
466
00:24:02,640 --> 00:24:04,400
Yeah, yeah, yeah, right.
And, and this is where they're
467
00:24:04,400 --> 00:24:06,880
rejecting.
I think it may be even, it may
468
00:24:06,880 --> 00:24:08,480
be Cora.
It's one place where the
469
00:24:08,480 --> 00:24:11,880
Israelites are rejecting Moses's
leadership.
470
00:24:11,880 --> 00:24:13,480
And it says do not put your God
to the test.
471
00:24:13,480 --> 00:24:17,280
And they're going to use this to
say you should never look at the
472
00:24:17,280 --> 00:24:19,640
heavens to see if they declare
the glory of the Lord.
473
00:24:19,880 --> 00:24:23,000
You should never look at
creation to see if it reveals
474
00:24:23,000 --> 00:24:25,680
the you know, hidden things of
who who God is.
475
00:24:26,680 --> 00:24:30,440
But I think this verse, if you
use it to how they do it cuts
476
00:24:30,440 --> 00:24:34,800
both ways because at this at
this level, I can't even give
477
00:24:34,800 --> 00:24:38,720
the atheist the gospel.
I can't say here's what Christ
478
00:24:38,720 --> 00:24:41,720
did for you.
Here's you are a Sinner because
479
00:24:41,720 --> 00:24:45,040
you're asking that atheist to
judge the things that you just
480
00:24:45,040 --> 00:24:47,880
told them about Christ and make
a decision about it.
481
00:24:48,440 --> 00:24:51,880
You, you, they are putting the
gospel in the dock.
482
00:24:51,880 --> 00:24:54,000
They're being a judgement of
whether they're going to accept
483
00:24:54,000 --> 00:24:55,360
it or not.
Right, Right.
484
00:24:55,360 --> 00:24:56,640
Yeah, Yeah, I see what you're
saying.
485
00:24:57,000 --> 00:25:01,920
Yeah, cause at the end of the
day, the only thing that Zach
486
00:25:01,920 --> 00:25:03,880
has to make a decision is
Zach's.
487
00:25:03,880 --> 00:25:04,400
Mind.
Oh yeah.
488
00:25:04,400 --> 00:25:06,240
My yeah, yeah, yeah.
The only thing I have to make a
489
00:25:06,240 --> 00:25:11,640
decision is my mind, right?
And I, I have to, you know,
490
00:25:12,000 --> 00:25:15,000
obviously I have the authority
to help me make a decision.
491
00:25:15,040 --> 00:25:17,680
If I if I find this to be a
trustworthy authority, then I
492
00:25:17,680 --> 00:25:21,760
can believe what it says, but I
have to initially find it to be
493
00:25:21,760 --> 00:25:25,200
a trustworthy authority.
No, I yeah, that that makes
494
00:25:25,200 --> 00:25:28,360
sense.
Well, let's keep going down.
495
00:25:28,960 --> 00:25:32,560
Really getting again to kind of
the core of presuppositionalism.
496
00:25:32,920 --> 00:25:34,560
They would say.
We talked about it a little bit.
497
00:25:34,560 --> 00:25:37,280
People don't reject God because
of lack of evidence.
498
00:25:37,680 --> 00:25:40,560
They reject him because they
want to suppress the truth,
499
00:25:40,560 --> 00:25:44,640
relying on this Romans 1
framework for for a presupp
500
00:25:44,720 --> 00:25:47,320
proponents.
They're not gonna say let me
501
00:25:47,320 --> 00:25:50,360
prove God exists.
They are going to say, hey, let
502
00:25:50,360 --> 00:25:52,000
me show you how you are.
You're borrowing from my
503
00:25:52,000 --> 00:25:53,560
worldview.
You already depend on him.
504
00:25:54,120 --> 00:25:55,800
They're not looking at
introducing this new
505
00:25:55,800 --> 00:25:58,000
information, like look at this
new planet or look at this
506
00:25:58,000 --> 00:26:01,120
archaeological dig.
They're just trying to show you
507
00:26:01,440 --> 00:26:03,120
you're inconsistent.
Your worldview doesn't work.
508
00:26:03,120 --> 00:26:05,720
We're saying we're kind of
saying the same thing over and
509
00:26:05,720 --> 00:26:09,800
over and over and over again.
Here's some illustration using
510
00:26:09,800 --> 00:26:12,480
logic, science, morality.
You're, you're using these
511
00:26:12,480 --> 00:26:13,840
things, but you're denying their
foundation.
512
00:26:13,840 --> 00:26:17,160
You're using borrowed capital,
you're quote UN quote standing
513
00:26:17,160 --> 00:26:19,040
on God's lap.
You're depending on God's world
514
00:26:19,040 --> 00:26:23,080
to argue against him or, you
know, you're sawing off the
515
00:26:23,080 --> 00:26:25,440
branch on the proverbial tree.
You're destroying the very
516
00:26:25,440 --> 00:26:29,120
foundation that makes reasoning
even possible.
517
00:26:29,280 --> 00:26:31,800
And something that came up in
these debates over maybe was
518
00:26:31,800 --> 00:26:35,160
Bonson Sprole.
He was basically like, I don't,
519
00:26:35,560 --> 00:26:37,600
I don't want a probability of
something.
520
00:26:37,600 --> 00:26:39,800
I want to know for certain.
And if I'm looking at God's
521
00:26:39,800 --> 00:26:42,200
Word, I know it's certain versus
the preponderance of the
522
00:26:42,200 --> 00:26:44,280
evidence, or that's something
that I will hear them say.
523
00:26:44,800 --> 00:26:47,120
Two, you know, you hear these
things, The confidence factor.
524
00:26:47,160 --> 00:26:51,440
Yeah, Paul Frank in his book
only believes, says that the
525
00:26:51,560 --> 00:26:56,920
cosmological God only or he
actually he used the ID God.
526
00:26:57,160 --> 00:27:00,920
The ID God is only a probable
God and is therefore no God at
527
00:27:00,920 --> 00:27:03,200
all, and it is idolatry.
Yeah, he does say this.
528
00:27:03,320 --> 00:27:08,240
Yeah, yeah.
I mean, it's just a wild, wild
529
00:27:08,240 --> 00:27:10,680
accusation.
OK, let let's go back to some
530
00:27:10,680 --> 00:27:12,440
things you said.
Yeah, go for it.
531
00:27:13,840 --> 00:27:17,440
I I think especially so.
Just to be clear, I don't think
532
00:27:17,440 --> 00:27:19,960
there is any.
Let me know if you are out
533
00:27:19,960 --> 00:27:22,040
there.
I don't think there is any
534
00:27:22,040 --> 00:27:25,840
Armenian who is a pre supper.
I I think, I think, and that's,
535
00:27:25,840 --> 00:27:28,440
and that's one reason I've said
it has been like drawn to it is
536
00:27:28,440 --> 00:27:32,840
I think like you come into this
like God, sovereignty, world.
537
00:27:32,880 --> 00:27:34,720
Those are people that embrace
that.
538
00:27:34,720 --> 00:27:36,480
And so it's like, you know, it's
like different.
539
00:27:36,480 --> 00:27:39,880
Yeah, so, so me not being an
Armenian, I, I agree with every,
540
00:27:40,040 --> 00:27:43,280
I agree with not everything, but
a lot of what we're saying.
541
00:27:44,960 --> 00:27:49,360
I, you know, you were reading
that people don't reject God
542
00:27:49,360 --> 00:27:51,400
because of lack of evidence,
they're rejecting because of
543
00:27:51,400 --> 00:27:54,400
suppression.
Truth, yes and Amen 2.
544
00:27:54,440 --> 00:27:55,600
And three.
Right.
545
00:27:55,920 --> 00:28:01,320
But in Romans, one could also
say people don't reject the
546
00:28:01,320 --> 00:28:03,360
gospel because of lack of
evidence.
547
00:28:03,360 --> 00:28:06,280
They, you know, reject the
gospel because they reject the
548
00:28:06,280 --> 00:28:07,120
truth.
Yeah, so.
549
00:28:07,200 --> 00:28:08,840
But we're still called to give
the gospel.
550
00:28:08,840 --> 00:28:13,640
Yeah.
You know, Mark, the opening of
551
00:28:13,640 --> 00:28:16,360
Mark, Jesus tells apparel about
a sower of seed who goes out and
552
00:28:16,360 --> 00:28:19,840
throws seed out, and he goes to
bed and he wakes up and he
553
00:28:19,840 --> 00:28:20,720
doesn't know why.
It grew.
554
00:28:20,720 --> 00:28:22,280
Some of it grew, some of it
didn't.
555
00:28:22,720 --> 00:28:25,960
And you know, he the, the Lord
caused the increase.
556
00:28:26,280 --> 00:28:29,400
Paul in his letter to the First
Corinthians would say, you know,
557
00:28:29,400 --> 00:28:32,320
you shouldn't be saying you're
of Apollos and you're of Paul
558
00:28:32,520 --> 00:28:39,800
and I'm of Christ because while
some planted some water, God
559
00:28:39,800 --> 00:28:41,880
ultimately brought about the
increase.
560
00:28:42,840 --> 00:28:46,160
Jesus, after he gets done
talking to the woman of Samaria,
561
00:28:46,200 --> 00:28:48,280
she goes into the town.
The cyclists come up.
562
00:28:48,520 --> 00:28:51,360
They're like, are you hungry?
And like, I've already eaten
563
00:28:51,360 --> 00:28:52,400
like.
Where do you get food?
564
00:28:52,720 --> 00:28:55,680
And like my food is doing the
will of the Lord and he says
565
00:28:55,680 --> 00:28:59,720
raise up your eyes and look at
the harvest coming out of
566
00:28:59,720 --> 00:29:02,680
Samaria.
You did not plant it, You did
567
00:29:02,680 --> 00:29:06,240
not water it, but somewhat you
are going to harvest it.
568
00:29:06,360 --> 00:29:09,120
OK.
All of these things talk about a
569
00:29:09,120 --> 00:29:13,800
process that I think most of us,
if you're believer, there were
570
00:29:13,800 --> 00:29:17,480
times when you weren't a
believer and you could tell God
571
00:29:17,480 --> 00:29:20,080
was dealing with you through
various things in your life to
572
00:29:20,080 --> 00:29:22,880
open up your eyes to the truth
of the gospel.
573
00:29:23,480 --> 00:29:25,640
Apologetics is one of those
mechanisms.
574
00:29:25,640 --> 00:29:28,680
Just like someone being a good
father could be one of those
575
00:29:28,680 --> 00:29:30,480
mechanisms.
A Sunday school teacher can be
576
00:29:30,480 --> 00:29:33,760
one of those mechanisms.
Romans 10 is going to say, you
577
00:29:33,760 --> 00:29:35,960
know, how are they going to
believe if you don't tell them?
578
00:29:36,120 --> 00:29:40,520
Like there are means to the
sovereign decisions classical
579
00:29:40,520 --> 00:29:44,760
apologetics can and has.
By have they saved anyone?
580
00:29:46,160 --> 00:29:48,760
No, apologetics hasn't saved
anyone.
581
00:29:48,920 --> 00:29:52,240
Jesus Christ has.
Evangelism hasn't saved anyone,
582
00:29:52,360 --> 00:29:54,400
Jesus Christ has.
You know what I'm saying?
583
00:29:54,440 --> 00:29:56,880
Like ultimately, it's the
Spirit.
584
00:29:57,120 --> 00:29:58,080
Yep.
Totally.
585
00:29:58,120 --> 00:29:59,160
And so, yeah.
All right.
586
00:29:59,160 --> 00:30:01,360
No.
I, I, I think this is good.
587
00:30:02,240 --> 00:30:05,920
A pre supper would at the end of
the day.
588
00:30:05,920 --> 00:30:08,080
And one, one thing, maybe this
other reason I like
589
00:30:08,080 --> 00:30:11,000
presuppositionalism or I have, I
don't say I don't endorse a
590
00:30:11,000 --> 00:30:15,280
wholesale, but one thing that
draws me to it is, you know, you
591
00:30:15,280 --> 00:30:16,520
don't have to be an expert on
everything.
592
00:30:16,520 --> 00:30:18,760
You can just you can you, you
can just say like you're
593
00:30:18,760 --> 00:30:20,120
inconsistent, but you know what
I mean?
594
00:30:20,120 --> 00:30:22,360
It's like simple in that sense.
You know what I mean?
595
00:30:22,400 --> 00:30:23,360
It is very.
Simple it is.
596
00:30:23,560 --> 00:30:27,400
Yeah, it's like easier I Paul.
Frank's book Only believe, Only
597
00:30:27,440 --> 00:30:30,280
believe, Only believe 'cause
there's no more work.
598
00:30:30,880 --> 00:30:35,160
What's tough, what's tough for
me is, and I think it's good to
599
00:30:35,160 --> 00:30:37,200
know all the basic arguments,
whether you're, you know, a
600
00:30:37,240 --> 00:30:39,480
hardcore apologist or not, you
should be equipped with these
601
00:30:39,480 --> 00:30:41,160
kind of things.
And I'm like, fine with those.
602
00:30:41,160 --> 00:30:44,640
I probably say syllogism wrong,
but I get the the gist of it
603
00:30:44,640 --> 00:30:46,720
enough.
What gets me is like, you're
604
00:30:46,720 --> 00:30:50,720
talking to someone and they're
like, you say, Hey, you talk
605
00:30:50,720 --> 00:30:52,520
about this one issue and then
they're like, well, what about
606
00:30:52,520 --> 00:30:55,840
this?
It's like sometimes the target's
607
00:30:55,840 --> 00:30:57,720
always moving because we don't
believe, you know what I'm
608
00:30:57,720 --> 00:30:58,760
saying.
And I'm like, I just don't have
609
00:30:58,760 --> 00:31:00,560
time to research every little
thing.
610
00:31:00,560 --> 00:31:04,280
And we keep moving and it's like
I feel exasperated at some
611
00:31:04,280 --> 00:31:05,200
point.
Do you know what I'm saying?
612
00:31:05,240 --> 00:31:07,120
Absolutely.
I mean, there's a guy I worked
613
00:31:07,120 --> 00:31:12,320
with, good guy, was a nominal
Christian as a younger guy,
614
00:31:12,480 --> 00:31:15,760
rejected his faith and I sat
down with him probably for four
615
00:31:15,760 --> 00:31:19,440
or five lunches and we would
talk for an hour and a half and
616
00:31:19,440 --> 00:31:21,560
I would just kept his name was
Jake Jacob.
617
00:31:21,560 --> 00:31:24,680
I'd be like Jacob.
I'm happy to answer this.
618
00:31:25,000 --> 00:31:27,320
Yeah.
But do you see how we're
619
00:31:27,320 --> 00:31:30,040
shifting subjects here?
Like, we were talking about
620
00:31:30,040 --> 00:31:32,120
this.
We didn't just like see this
621
00:31:32,120 --> 00:31:36,080
through, you know, So sometimes
that's just, you know, kind of
622
00:31:36,640 --> 00:31:40,240
art of the conversation because
we would go all over and like,
623
00:31:40,400 --> 00:31:42,600
you want to answer.
All the stuff.
624
00:31:42,800 --> 00:31:44,920
But it's like it can be
exhausting.
625
00:31:45,240 --> 00:31:48,680
And at the end of the day, did I
save him?
626
00:31:48,720 --> 00:31:50,160
No.
Did apologetics save him?
627
00:31:50,160 --> 00:31:55,360
No, He knows the gospel.
He's rejecting it because he's
628
00:31:55,360 --> 00:31:57,240
suppressing the truth and
unrighteousness.
629
00:31:58,320 --> 00:32:02,520
Do I think that I, you know,
sinned against God or use
630
00:32:02,520 --> 00:32:04,640
unbiblical methods?
Because I said.
631
00:32:04,640 --> 00:32:06,400
That's where I think you're
taking it, not you taking it,
632
00:32:06,480 --> 00:32:08,640
but like a precepticism might be
taking it too far when they're
633
00:32:08,640 --> 00:32:11,080
like this is sinful.
Are you doing because some
634
00:32:11,080 --> 00:32:15,600
people are I I think part of it
is if you really embrace precept
635
00:32:15,600 --> 00:32:18,160
totally, then you, you kind of
do have to think otherwise are
636
00:32:18,160 --> 00:32:19,040
sinful.
You know what I'm saying?
637
00:32:19,280 --> 00:32:21,040
Like it's hard.
That's why I I can't endorse at
638
00:32:21,040 --> 00:32:22,840
wholesale because I I'm like, I
don't.
639
00:32:23,080 --> 00:32:27,120
I feel like to me, my job is to
politely slap people on the face
640
00:32:27,120 --> 00:32:30,480
and say, look, the heavens are
declaring the glory of the Lord
641
00:32:30,480 --> 00:32:34,960
here, look here, look here, look
here.
642
00:32:34,960 --> 00:32:39,360
You cannot miss the fact that
God is shouting, I'm here.
643
00:32:39,840 --> 00:32:45,640
And this book, unlike any other
book, is trustworthy, and it has
644
00:32:45,640 --> 00:32:49,200
bad news in it, and it has good
news in it, and you don't want
645
00:32:49,200 --> 00:32:51,640
the bad news.
You don't, that's for sure.
646
00:32:53,040 --> 00:32:56,000
Great.
Last thing I'll say from our
647
00:32:56,000 --> 00:33:00,520
notes, kind of wrapping it up
for their confidence, they'll
648
00:33:00,520 --> 00:33:02,720
say Christianity is the only
world view that accounts for
649
00:33:02,720 --> 00:33:06,920
truth when it comes to humility.
Unbelief is not intellectual
650
00:33:06,920 --> 00:33:09,480
superiority, it's more moral and
spiritual.
651
00:33:09,840 --> 00:33:12,280
Depression is suppression of
what you see.
652
00:33:12,280 --> 00:33:14,480
And then it's not about data
dumping.
653
00:33:14,480 --> 00:33:17,200
You're you're just trying to
expose their worldview.
654
00:33:17,200 --> 00:33:18,680
And so you're going to ask a lot
of these questions.
655
00:33:18,680 --> 00:33:21,600
By what standard?
How do you account for logic?
656
00:33:21,600 --> 00:33:24,000
Why do you trust your reasoning?
What makes something morally
657
00:33:24,000 --> 00:33:27,360
wrong and really press into
these?
658
00:33:28,040 --> 00:33:32,000
But anyway, I think this is a
good good episode on Pres, but I
659
00:33:32,000 --> 00:33:36,160
think it highlights what a
presuppositionalist is all
660
00:33:36,160 --> 00:33:38,400
about, or what they would say
maybe.
661
00:33:38,400 --> 00:33:41,200
What are some concerns?
And I think I did a good job.
662
00:33:41,200 --> 00:33:43,480
Like the viewers do not know
where I fall.
663
00:33:43,800 --> 00:33:45,760
No, yeah, this was like a total
mystery.
664
00:33:45,760 --> 00:33:48,640
Like everyone's like, oh, I
wonder what what's going to
665
00:33:48,640 --> 00:33:49,640
happen.
But.
666
00:33:49,640 --> 00:33:53,120
I'll just say again, I think you
said something like you could
667
00:33:53,120 --> 00:33:57,560
have precept.
I don't think you could have
668
00:33:57,560 --> 00:34:02,760
precept the thought process in
your toolbox, but but you could
669
00:34:02,760 --> 00:34:05,960
have the these questions that
you just.
670
00:34:05,960 --> 00:34:07,240
Asked that's what That's what I
mean, that's.
671
00:34:07,240 --> 00:34:08,600
What I think you want?
To do, yeah, a lot of
672
00:34:08,600 --> 00:34:10,480
transcendental.
The transcendental argument,
673
00:34:10,480 --> 00:34:12,320
yeah, it's one of we covered
that.
674
00:34:12,440 --> 00:34:13,800
We covered the transcendental
argument.
675
00:34:13,800 --> 00:34:16,520
Yeah, we covered the Kalam
cosmological argument, we
676
00:34:16,520 --> 00:34:19,159
covered fine tuning.
So yes, you can have the
677
00:34:19,159 --> 00:34:22,040
transcendental argumentation in
your tool belt and there's
678
00:34:22,040 --> 00:34:24,520
nothing wrong with asking
someone how do you account for
679
00:34:24,520 --> 00:34:28,080
logic?
Why trust your reasoning if
680
00:34:28,920 --> 00:34:32,360
evolution is true?
It didn't gear you up to believe
681
00:34:32,520 --> 00:34:34,280
and no truth.
It geared you up to get your
682
00:34:34,280 --> 00:34:37,120
genes to the next generation.
Yeah, what's, what's the point?
683
00:34:37,120 --> 00:34:41,199
And I think it was in the
Bondsenstein debate, Stein was
684
00:34:41,199 --> 00:34:46,199
like, here's 8 arguments that I
have, I can show that are
685
00:34:47,080 --> 00:34:50,080
they're flawed or like they're
inconsistent or something like
686
00:34:50,080 --> 00:34:52,000
that.
And he and he went through like
687
00:34:52,000 --> 00:34:55,600
7 arguments, but none of them
were the transcendental
688
00:34:55,600 --> 00:34:56,840
argument.
But he went through a bunch of
689
00:34:56,840 --> 00:35:00,760
other arguments, cosmological,
teleological, all these.
690
00:35:01,520 --> 00:35:04,480
And Bonson was like, man, you
just like missed the only one
691
00:35:04,480 --> 00:35:06,280
that I care about.
He's like, and Bonson was like,
692
00:35:06,320 --> 00:35:07,760
Oh yeah, I think all those other
ones are flawed.
693
00:35:07,760 --> 00:35:09,440
That's what he says.
He's like, Oh, yeah, there's
694
00:35:09,680 --> 00:35:11,120
like, he, he like gave that, you
know?
695
00:35:11,120 --> 00:35:15,720
It's been a minute, I need to go
re listen to it, but I think one
696
00:35:15,720 --> 00:35:20,720
of the ones that Stein brings up
is some form of the cosmological
697
00:35:20,720 --> 00:35:22,880
argument.
And he asked, OK, who created
698
00:35:22,880 --> 00:35:24,360
God?
And it's like you don't
699
00:35:24,360 --> 00:35:28,920
understand the premises if
you're asking that one time Greg
700
00:35:28,920 --> 00:35:32,520
was talking with Michael Shermer
in a debate and Michael Shermer
701
00:35:32,520 --> 00:35:36,840
said, ask Greg like, OK, you
believe God, who created God?
702
00:35:36,840 --> 00:35:41,040
And he said, Michael, that is an
intellectually dishonest
703
00:35:41,040 --> 00:35:43,880
question.
You don't believe God was had a
704
00:35:43,880 --> 00:35:45,760
creator because you don't
believe in God.
705
00:35:46,000 --> 00:35:48,800
You know, as a good theist, I
don't believe had a God.
706
00:35:48,960 --> 00:35:50,440
God had a creator.
So why are you?
707
00:35:50,440 --> 00:35:52,960
Asking this question.
Just turn it right back around
708
00:35:52,960 --> 00:35:57,960
on him.
So it baffles me why one would
709
00:35:57,960 --> 00:36:01,640
let that through.
You know Chuck Bonson did there,
710
00:36:01,640 --> 00:36:04,240
but whatever.
Yeah, Bonson, man.
711
00:36:04,760 --> 00:36:09,640
Well, there you go.
Do we transition to our final
712
00:36:09,640 --> 00:36:10,800
take?
I think so.
713
00:36:11,360 --> 00:36:13,920
Let's talk.
Fine, it'll take.
714
00:36:13,920 --> 00:36:16,160
Last time we did a much better
job of outlining what we were.
715
00:36:16,160 --> 00:36:20,880
Going to talk about this time.
I'll just say I feel like I told
716
00:36:20,880 --> 00:36:24,280
Jill this yesterday.
I felt like I just got hit by a
717
00:36:24,280 --> 00:36:25,880
Mack truck.
Oh, with everything that's been
718
00:36:25,880 --> 00:36:27,440
going on.
Yeah, yeah, Yeah.
719
00:36:27,440 --> 00:36:29,960
I have we ever talked about
this?
720
00:36:29,960 --> 00:36:30,400
Maybe.
I don't know.
721
00:36:30,400 --> 00:36:31,840
I don't think we did.
Maybe we did.
722
00:36:32,200 --> 00:36:37,320
I'm losing my mind as well.
So but so today is Tuesday,
723
00:36:37,360 --> 00:36:40,560
Tuesday, Sunday.
I taught Sunday school.
724
00:36:40,920 --> 00:36:43,600
Yeah.
And I hear you're skipping my
725
00:36:43,600 --> 00:36:45,720
Sunday school next week.
Is that true?
726
00:36:45,840 --> 00:36:47,840
Who told you this?
Who told you?
727
00:36:47,840 --> 00:36:49,360
This Danny.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
728
00:36:49,360 --> 00:36:51,320
He wants me to moderate.
A.
729
00:36:51,400 --> 00:36:52,680
A call conversation.
Loud.
730
00:36:52,680 --> 00:36:53,600
Yeah, Yeah, yeah, yeah.
It'd.
731
00:36:53,760 --> 00:36:56,000
Be good, we'll just.
Maybe no talk priests up, it'll
732
00:36:56,000 --> 00:36:59,640
be fine.
It'll be tough priests up and
733
00:36:59,640 --> 00:37:08,320
then I preached and then DM Ed
our kind of our final session of
734
00:37:08,520 --> 00:37:10,720
the first.
You know the like if you were
735
00:37:10,720 --> 00:37:13,320
writing a book, this would be
the end of the book.
736
00:37:13,320 --> 00:37:15,880
Or if you're writing a trilogy,
this might be the end of the
737
00:37:15,880 --> 00:37:18,840
short little trilogy.
Now we may there are some
738
00:37:18,840 --> 00:37:20,720
threads like any good Oh.
Yeah.
739
00:37:20,800 --> 00:37:23,000
Storytelling.
Some threads that.
740
00:37:23,280 --> 00:37:25,600
Unfinished business.
That could some unfinished
741
00:37:25,600 --> 00:37:28,840
business that they could but so
I was like.
742
00:37:31,960 --> 00:37:34,320
How long was the D&D session, I
must ask?
743
00:37:35,120 --> 00:37:40,400
We got done at 10:30 and we
started at a little after one
744
00:37:40,400 --> 00:37:42,600
like 1:30, so about maybe 9
hours.
745
00:37:42,960 --> 00:37:46,400
I wow, that's very long, I know.
We did break like we take
746
00:37:46,400 --> 00:37:47,600
breaks, no?
Straight through.
747
00:37:47,600 --> 00:37:48,600
You guys aren't?
Hardcore.
748
00:37:48,600 --> 00:37:50,560
Only hardcore people would.
Go snow eating.
749
00:37:52,080 --> 00:37:57,240
We did like Danny and I did like
a member, potential member
750
00:37:57,240 --> 00:37:59,680
interview kind of thing.
And it went kind of long.
751
00:37:59,680 --> 00:38:01,920
Like it got done like a little
after 1 and I was like, oh wow,
752
00:38:01,920 --> 00:38:04,440
the D&D Group's.
Here, Yeah, yeah, we, we went to
753
00:38:04,440 --> 00:38:07,160
eat at Waffle House.
And it came back.
754
00:38:07,200 --> 00:38:08,920
So yeah, we were getting set up
as y'all were.
755
00:38:08,920 --> 00:38:09,640
Leaving.
Oh gotcha.
756
00:38:09,680 --> 00:38:14,040
I was like, wow, so man, that is
a day goodness.
757
00:38:14,560 --> 00:38:17,320
Yeah, Monday.
I took a little bit of time off
758
00:38:17,480 --> 00:38:21,080
of work that morning, but I had
fallen.
759
00:38:21,080 --> 00:38:24,080
I had to take Julia to choir
practice early.
760
00:38:24,080 --> 00:38:28,040
I was like, I'll just take her,
come back and I just go right
761
00:38:28,040 --> 00:38:28,680
back to sleep.
I did.
762
00:38:28,680 --> 00:38:30,120
I was like, I'm not even going
to drink coffee.
763
00:38:30,120 --> 00:38:31,840
Oh, yeah, I'm just going to take
her in.
764
00:38:31,840 --> 00:38:33,880
And I just laid there and I
couldn't fall back asleep.
765
00:38:35,880 --> 00:38:38,480
And I was like, I'm not tired,
but I am tired, you know.
766
00:38:38,680 --> 00:38:40,240
Oh.
Yeah, I've been there, man.
767
00:38:41,200 --> 00:38:42,480
Yeah, that's big.
So, yeah.
768
00:38:42,480 --> 00:38:44,320
Anything else?
I know you're still going
769
00:38:44,320 --> 00:38:46,400
through Sunday school.
I guess the perfect storm's not
770
00:38:46,400 --> 00:38:49,440
hitting for a while, but still
going Sunday school going
771
00:38:49,440 --> 00:38:51,280
strong.
D&D happens once a month, so you
772
00:38:51,280 --> 00:38:52,160
got.
Once a month.
773
00:38:52,160 --> 00:38:53,320
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
No.
774
00:38:53,400 --> 00:38:56,000
Some people were saying I should
have led singing Sunday, but
775
00:38:56,000 --> 00:38:58,200
that would have just been oh.
You could have done it it'd.
776
00:38:58,200 --> 00:39:00,080
Been crazy.
I mean I could have I think I
777
00:39:00,080 --> 00:39:03,000
could have but who wants to
listen to me that much Like if
778
00:39:03,000 --> 00:39:06,960
you're in my Sunday school, if
you are AD and D player in my
779
00:39:06,960 --> 00:39:09,000
Sunday school class, you would
have heard me Sunday school.
780
00:39:09,000 --> 00:39:11,200
That's crazy.
Singing, preaching, and then
781
00:39:11,280 --> 00:39:13,400
you.
Should have greeted at the doors
782
00:39:14,200 --> 00:39:17,200
and done announcements.
Just maybe run back to the
783
00:39:17,200 --> 00:39:20,240
algorithm real quick, change a
few things, you know, there you
784
00:39:20,240 --> 00:39:24,720
go, just just do it.
All sweet, good.
785
00:39:25,200 --> 00:39:28,240
Anything else you can think of?
I know, I mean this is like
786
00:39:28,320 --> 00:39:31,520
relatively short compared to the
one we just oh, sorry, I know I
787
00:39:32,000 --> 00:39:33,760
feel bad.
Sweet cream milk.
788
00:39:34,160 --> 00:39:36,440
All right.
Well, that's our take.
789
00:39:38,040 --> 00:39:41,160
Thanks for listening to Take 2.
