What is Your Approach?

[Chas]

They are descriptive of nature. Frodo needs to show that they are prescriptive from God.

Nature is God.

I don't need to show that. The question is superfluous. No believer needs to prove anything to himself in those terms, or his faith is unfounded/ rather his belief is based upon absolute knowledge. That isn't religious faith.

Faith, in the Christian tradition, is acting upon information that you trust to be true. All three conditions are essential. Information, trust and action.

Nature is not God.

I don't need to show that. The statement is superfluous. No believer can ever prove to another that his belief is justified because his belief is based on no knowledge. That is religious faith.
