Sometimes atheists can know something true. That’s a good thing. It’s how unbelivers are evangelized. You find out what realities you both recognize and go from that ground of truth seeking truth. However it doesn’t work unless you believe truth is objective. If reality/truth is subject to what ever you feel there is no common ground.
“Sometimes atheists can know something true. That’s a good thing.”
OK, no disagreement in principle.
“It’s how unbelivers are evangelized. You find out what realities you both recognize and go from that ground of truth seeking truth.”
Does the Holy Spirit have any role in this in your theology?
“However it doesn’t work unless you believe truth is objective.”
No disagreement in principle. Again, I ask, does the Holy Spirit have any role in this? Or is this, in your mind, just a simple intellectual decision to believe or disbelieve? This will tell me how you understand the authority of the Holy Scriptures when it teaches in matters that do not touch on ‘science,’ in matters that go beyond science.
“If reality/truth is subject to what ever you feel there is no common ground.”
I agree ... more than you know. And who does not feel, even while claiming to know?
