No. There must first be an acknowledgment of the Holy Spirit by a receptive heart. Faith is the position we reason from, not the position we reason towards.
LMFAO! And there you have it folks! A total and complete admission of total irrationality on Neo's part. Next he'll be telling me I'm twisting his words because he didn't precisely and literally say word for word "I admit I am coming from a position of total irrationality".
LFC asked if it's possible for an atheist to reason their way to belief in God.... Neo says no. And yet he has a problem with me calling him irrational?!
Start with the conclusion first and then come up with obfuscation and smarm to pretend to support it... that's the Neo way.
Bloody hell Neo saying "Faith is the position we reason from, not the position we reason towards" would be going right in my signature if there hadn't been a rule against it. Just so he can't keep pretending to be rational in a debate. I guess I'll just bookmark it and quote his own words right back at him when he next pretends to be rational.
Oh wait. I know what I CAN do.
It's Hall of Shame time!Neo, if this was a debate on whether Christianity is true any reasonable person would have considered an admission like that from you to be an admission of defeat. In a debate if you basically say that reason can't get you to your position then you've basically forfeited any chance of reasonably saying that your position is true. You may as well just be wearing a t-shirt saying "My whole worldview is irrational."
