Christian, husband and father, lawyer and author, I believe that God is revealed in the Bible and evinced in nature

@analyticatheism Will you never listen?

Feser’s *rational* defenses of various Christian doctrines rest upon the *rational* defenses of the existence of God.

No kidding.

But relationship infuses all of them - or it does not.

Your choice.

@analyticatheism There is knowledge gained through the discursive intellect and knowledge gained through relationship. And a relationship with an infinitely greater being requires a leap - be faithful and thankful that it’s a leap of love.

[TheNaturalApologist @WordInCreation]

@analyticatheism Your subtweet mentions God’s failure to respond to certain acts of devotion. That silence was an invitation to exercise a hitherto dormant will to love God. So … “Be still, and know that I am God.”

[TheNaturalApologist @WordInCreation]

@analyticatheism Again, reason alone wont convert you. Faith must be joined to it (not substituted for it). And I doubt that an argument for the resurrection that’s true “more likely than not” will make someone take up a cross. (I’m at my daughter’s game, apologize for the length of this thread).

[TheNaturalApologist @WordInCreation]

@analyticatheism And so we come back to where we started, the resurrection, and what it presents to us.

“Blessed are the pure of heart, for they shall see God.”
