Cave To The Cross Apologetics

Within Frame’s critique of VanTil’s version of the transcendental argument, he’s not throwing it all away and Frame’s fair judgment of where TAG emphasizes the rights points are brought out. Here, TAG, Trinity, & negative arguments are discussed to show that TAG is best used, especially from a worldview level, by the Christian. Other theists might attempt to claim to use TAG for their religious outcomes, but the same approach to the Christian worldview must be taken with those claims.

Now that John Frame has presented TAG in an overview, he is going to be questioning TAG as what he might consider some deficiencies – or at least in a way that VanTil presents TAG as being the one argument to rule them all and in the light, bind them.

This is exactly the thing we need in Christian circles of good, godly men who honor and treat fairly those who have come before and build upon their mighty works. As readers, let us also seek to do likewise.

“The Transcendental Argument (TAG) is the best argument for God!”

You may have heard this claim along keywords like “preconditions of intelligibility” and “by what standard”. However, what makes TAG so powerful is something that is beneficial for not just the apologist or the philosophically minded to know and understand – this is a way to better understand who God is and be able to communicate that to your family, children, coworkers, and nonbelievers.

We’ll help break down John Frame’s breakdown of TAG and see if we don’t get broken down along the way.

Accepting evidence for a position seems like an easy thing to do in theory. See what’s presented before you and if you properly understand everything you move from unbelief to belief. Ya, well, except it’s definitely not that simple and it’s not how people come to belief, especially about something as big a concept as God. Not only is that the case for human nature and psychology but it’s also what The Bible has to say about belief as well. As Christians, maybe we should start listening to that a bit more.

It might sound weird to say that we offer up apologetics as proof when it comes to our faith in God. But what Frame is presenting here is that we sometimes overestimate what we are thinking proof is or isn’t. We’ve let others define what faith is for so long that even if modern shows and movies acknowledge faith it’s always some bad take of believing in spite of evidence or what you know not to be the case. Frame lays out the position of what we see in Scripture as exercises of faith have a proof of evidence component to them and we should likewise consider this when we do apologetics.

We destroy arguments and every lofty opinion raised against the knowledge of God, and take every thought captive to obey Christ (2 Corn. 10:5). Those same thoughts about the nature of all reality. The nature of knowledge. The nature of right and wrong. Not only those things but even how we present that message to others should be done by declaring that God is Creator and Sovereign and we should proclaim His message in the way He prescribes it to us in His Word.

The term “metaphysics” might seem like one of those scary words that only the eggheads use (true); the term just means what is the nature of all reality. What is it that makes the things we are and experience the things they are? The Christian worldview necessitates and calls for a drastically different take than what most scientists claim.

But why is that? When the establishment wants to say that all reality can be traced back to non-personal entities, the Christian worldview not only comes in conflict with that but also why the other side would want to and need to say the opposite.

Evidence & presuppositionalism have absolutely nothing to do with each other! Well except that all evidence is God’s evidence and so the best use of evidence can be had when an apologist has established their foundation on something that makes sense of them and allows them to exist. The scary thing is that this entails everything in human history and beyond. The non-scary thing is that God is the “everything” and “beyond”. John Frame gives us the role of evidence for the presuppositions and warns us what bad apologetics could entail.

We crack open John Frame’s Apologetics book by doing what we like doing best here – defining our terms. With that we find out what the basics of apologetics are and the right way and wrong way we can carry out the command from Scripture to always be ready to give an apologetic for the hope that you have. But what about the verses before and after that? Well, those are important too. Oh ya, and all the rest of Scripture. You probably should read that all.

Another apologetics book? But why? 2,000 years of Church History and we haven’t said everything we need to say? Well, believe it or not, another apologetics book is needed as it gives us the ability to clarify and encourage. Also, it’s kind of what the Bible tells us to do and that’s a pretty big deal.
