Logic & The Bible, Part 3
God wants us to be good thinkers! (continued)
YouTube: “Why are some saved, and not others?”
Universal grace – II Peter 3:9
Grace alone – Ephesians 2:8-9
Hell – Matthew 8:12
Romans 9:20; 11:33
Is there really no answer? No, the answer is that man has a choice in the matter. Some act in such a way that they will not be saved.
Equivocation (“bait-and-switch”)
What is it?
“When someone shifts from one meaning of a word to another within an argument, he or she has committed the fallacy of equivocation.”
A person may change a word’s meaning on purpose to make a point or to be humorous.
II Corinthians 5:21
Spiritual importance
The word “evolution”
This is a common fallacy used to persuade people to believe in evolution. “Evolution can mean ‘change’ in a general sense, but it can also refer to the idea that organisms share a common ancestor…”
It helps to clarify our language. Micro-evolution (such as breeding dogs for certain traits) is true. Macro-evolution (the theory that all life evolved over millions of years from a common ancestor) has certainly not been proven true.
The word “baptism”
“I’ve been baptized, so I’m saved, because I Peter 3:21 says ‘baptism now saves you.’”
Which baptism are you talking about?
Matthew 3:11
Mark 10:38-39
Acts 1:5; 19:3
Romans 6:3; I Corinthians 10:2
Ephesians 4:4 – As far as salvation goes, there is only one baptism.
Greek Bible words
Romans 12:1 – “service of worship”
Some use this verse to show that all of life is worship.
Matthew 2:11; 14:33; 28:9, 17; John 9:38; 12:20; Acts 8:27; 24:11; Hebrews 11:21; Revelation 19:10 – uses of the word prokuneo (to make obeisance, do reverence)
Another example: various meanings of the word for church (ekklesia) – Acts 19:32; 7:38
