“Illegitimate totality transfer” is a term used primarily in philosophy and logic, particularly in discussions related to language and reasoning. It refers to a logical fallacy in which a concept or term that is valid in one context is mistakenly or improperly applied to another context. This fallacy occurs when the properties of a whole are unjustly assumed to apply to all individual parts or vice versa.

Acts 27:31“Paul said to the centurion and to the soldiers, Except these abide in the ship, ye cannot be saved.”We must use context and not pre-conceived ideas when studying the Bible. Words and phrases cannot be isolated with narrowly applied definitions. All the "dictionary definitions" are the definitions of the word but which one logically applies to the context? In simpler terms, it’s when someone takes the meaning or characteristics of a word or concept from one context and wrongly assumes that it carries the same meaning or properties in a different context. The term is often associated with critiques of certain arguments in metaphysics or theology, where abstract concepts are sometimes generalized beyond their appropriate use.For example, if someone argues that because a group has a certain quality, each member of the group must also have that quality, they might be committing an illegitimate totality transfer.#RobertGovett#GHLang#DMPanton#GHPember#ChristianPodcast #JudgmentSeatOfChrist #MillennialExclusion #EternalRewards #KingdomLiving #EndTimesTheology #ChristianDoctrine #ChristianJudgment #KingdomTeaching #SalvationAndRewards #Eschatology #WatchmanNee #TheologyOfSalvation #ChristianAccountability
