Warren's Argument Of Correct Reasoning

396 Words2 Pages
This book seeks to establish the premise the logic and the Bible are not mutually exclusive. In fact, one must have a good command of correct reasoning; i.e., logic, in order to be able to properly interpret the Bible. Tragically, some bemoan this even though they repeatedly use logic, improperly, to ridicule the use of logic. Thomas Be. Warren points out that logic, or correct reasoning, is critical to hermeneutics or the correct method of interpreting the Scriptures.

Warren draws upon his education with a Ph.D. in Philosophy from Vanderbilt University and vast experience to draw a direct correlation between the tools of logic and the Bible. He defines and explains how the laws of logic; e.g., law of rationality, laws of thought, and laws

The atrocities committed during the salem witch trials of 1692 are still common knowledge in current day society. Innocent citizens unfairly lost either their lives, families, assets, or all three. Highly respected members of the community were even subject to such trials. Abominations to this degree do not happen by coincidence. Many guilty souls take part in creating a platform of wickedness that demeans the humanity of its victims.

In Lara Buchak’s essay, Can It Be Rational to Have Faith? , she asserts that everyday faith statements and religious faith statements share the same attributes. She later states that in order to truly have faith, a person ceases to search for more evidence for their claim, and that having faith can be rational. Although she makes compelling arguments in favor of faith in God, this essay is more hearsay and assumption than actual fact. In this paper, you will see that looking for further evidence would constitute not having faith, but that having faith, at least in the religious sense, is irrational.

He points out that the Bible cannot be taken literally because sometimes it can be interpreted in different ways. The Bible was written for the common people and illiterate to understand, and to prove his point he mentions that the Bible gives God a body like ours while theologies believe God has no such features. He moves to his main point about who has the authority to determine what is true and untrue. He argues that what is scientifically proven will to understand the Bible true meaning.

1953 to 1969, Earl Warren presided as chief justice of the U.S. Supreme Court. Under Warren 's leadership, the Court actively used Judicial Review to strictly scrutinize and over-turn state and federal statutes, to apply many provisions of the Bill of Rights to the states, and to provide opportunities for those groups in society that had been excluded from the political process. During Warren 's tenure, the Court became increasingly liberal and activist, drawing the fire of political and judicial conservatives who believed that the Warren Court had over-stepped its constitutional role and had become a legislative body. The Warren Court itself became a catalyst for change, initiating reforms rather than responding to pressures applied by

The author argues that our Christian worldview should always be open for revision as we encounter new people, ideas, and experiences. We should learn to use a pencil more often than a pen when deciding what we believe. As an example, the author compared our worldview to that of a crossword puzzle. The argument was that each answer only fits if it works with the surrounding answers. One word might fit, but will not support the answer connected to it.

The issue on whether religion and science can work together has been debatable for centuries. Neil DeGrasse Tyson in his article the Perimeter of Ignorance argues that science and religion cannot coexist. In his article, the author explains that religion is all about the Bible and the Bible primarily focuses on the explanation of the origin of the world. He puts forth the point that this concept is far different from what science is and that they do not complement each other. This essay intends to prove that religion and science can work together with no issues.

As humans, we are given different rights that are meant to provide us with a chance at a good life. However, these rights can become compromised when it comes to conflicts between a pregnant woman and her fetus. The right of the fetus to live is seen as inferior to the right of the mother to have an abortion. Although each of the rights is different, it is not appropriate to say that one citizen’s rights are more superior than another citizen’s rights.

First, due to our different and limited perspectives, humans can only know truth that is relative to their perspective. Second, because arguments are ineffective ways of discovering truth, humans cannot teach or learn truth from each other, at least not through language. Therefore, humans cannot fathom absolute truth and are muddled even in their attempts to communicate and impart to each other their knowledge of relative truths–a bleak conclusion indeed! Perhaps we can find some solace in the accomplishment of Butcher Ding, whose prodigious skill derives from intuition of “the Heavenly patterns.” Although his experience is limited to the narrow task of butchery–merely a tiny sliver in the vastness of The Way–it represents some hope of transcending our limitations and grasping the

INTRODUCTION The authority of the Scripture is fundamental to evangelical faith and witness. But at the same time, not all evangelicals affirm the inerrancy of the scripture. Biblical inerrancy affirms that the biblical text is accurate and totally free from error of any kind. The difficulty in affirming the inerrancy of scripture does not seem to be so much on the spiritual and moral teachings of the Bible, however, the difficulty perhaps seems to emerge on the issue of accuracy in other disciplines such as history, science and acheology.
