Without God giving power it does not have a reliable source.
Goodness has a proper accurate meaning.
Therefore God exists.
The three premises need elaboration, I will post one post per premise elaborating on them.
I will ask people to check validity of argument before the premises are debated or elaborated.
The argument can rephrased:
Praise to have accurate meaning, will power part of it must have a reliable source.
Without God giving power it does not have a reliable source.
Praise has a proper accurate meaning.
Therefore God exists.
Will elaborate on each premise once we get past the over all structure validity.
Hmm. The conclusion does not follow from the premises, and the premises are all baseless assertions.
I revised a few times, and to me it seems the conclusion does follow from the premises.
I haven't elaborated on the premises, because I want agreement whether the argument is valid or not.
Let us look at:
Praise to have accurate meaning (a), will power part of it must have a reliable source (b).
Without God giving power (not c) it does not have a reliable source (not b).
Praise has a proper accurate meaning (a).
Therefore God exists ©.
a -> b.
not c -> not b
a
Therefore b from a->b and a
c from b -> c (contra positive) and b.
C is God giving power, which given it is God existing....
Therefore it seems valid.
Tell me where you disagree!
