In order to know which premise to accept, we have to establish whether or not God exists.

If man were to establish God exists, He wouldn't be God.

If God exists, and He does, His existence is not dependent upon us, nor our establishment, but instead we are dependent upon Him.

Let me restate what I meant in that sentence: In order to know which premise to accept, we must first know which premise is true.

Our language can illustrate only within the context of human understanding. When we speak to those who don’t have knowledge of God, it becomes necessary to paint the picture as they see it.

From what I can tell, language is the substance of rationalism. Our language, which can do nothing more than impart information, is not the same as God’s language which sets the stars in their place in the heavens.
