Dr. Andreas Köstenberger finds Bart Ehrman to be lacking when he attempts to take off his scholar shoes and put on his theologian shoes. This is especially clear when he tries to tackle the "problem" of evil.

If you've talked about presuppositionalism before you know about the circularity issue. Granted the issue is mostly other people claiming it's the bad kind of circularity. #JohnFrame #Apologetics #Presuppositionalism #EvidenceForGod Today's short clip comes from episode 209 which can be found here - https://youtu.be/gcEnnE0s22k The episode link is https://www.cavetothecross.com/ep209/ ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EvPoFn9oPAU

Give me just the facts and only then will I believe. No. No. Not those facts I don't like those facts! The idea that one starts with zero assumptions and believes ideas based on just the facts is nice thinking but it's not how people think. Where everyone starts thinking is through their presuppositions - the starting point where one filters the facts through. It's inescapable and we delude ourselves in thinking it's different. We want to believe we are Spock that divorces himself from emotion and only accepts the logic of the situation. But wait - logic? In a purely natural world that has no transcendental Mind, how is logic to be trusted or even thought of as real? Plus, just logic is not how humans think. Everyone has a place for faith and it starts with those ideas that they first bring to the table and are really hard to change. Because they inform how one thinks about the complete scope of all reality. Jim, we're human not a Vulcan philosopher!
