MERGED: The Case for the Resurrection of Jesus Christ (Part 1) & (Part 2)

[Esquilax]

I don't think WLC is stupid or dishonest... he's just deeply indoctrinated with dogma.

Certainly not the kind of person you could ever rely upon to supply any kind of truth. I've said it before, but I could probably stand to remind H_M about WLC's "self authenticating witness of the holy spirit."

When asked if he would admit his religion was wrong if he could travel back in time and confirm that Jesus never rose from the grave, when asked, essentially, if he would admit his religion was wrong when he could confirm that his religion was wrong, what do you think Craig's answer was? The rational one would be "yes"; when you see that something is wrong, you admit that it's wrong.

Craig said no. Even if he knew his religion was wrong, he would still think it was right. He has a "self authenticating witness of the holy spirit," basically, he's a presuppositionalist. He feels that it's right, and so therefore it is regardless of the material facts.

This is why I trust WLC even less than I trust H_M's conclusions about the man's debate prowess. It's actually extremely telling that he keeps linking out to WLC, a man even more dishonest, and upfront about it, than H_M himself.
