Common Logic Mistakes | Christian Apologetics 101

The most important thing in life that I think a Christian can come to comprehend about their faith, is their perspective. The knowledge of what your limited perspective is can change the way you see God, others, the world, and belief systems.

This post is set to point out logical errors that we make as Christians and non-believers. It is by using logic correctly that we can understand truth itself. Here are some logic topics that are important for every person to take notice of. 1. Finding truth means we do not argue with others.

Many people look at the defense of spirituality and of God as one where you must argue your point to the opposing party. If we as a human race did this when it came to scientific discoveries such as the telescope, we would never get anywhere. Imagine for a second, that the inventor of the telescope came to you and showed you the stars through it. Imagine for the first time being able to see craters on the moon. Now imagine that you viewed this discovery, the telescope, as showing you something different than the inventor told you about. Say for instance, that you were to claim that the telescope didn’t show you things far away, but that it actually transported you closer to the heavens. You believed this so much, you start to argue with the inventor about it. You get passionate about your claim and do not give the inventor time to explain it. The inventor tries to explain how it works, but finds himself arguing with you about what the truth is about what his invention does. In this example, the device gets broken after both men tug at it after get so mad. Both men turn away and may never believe anything the other person says again.

Today we all know what the telescope does, but this could very well have been the case when it was first invented if an educated man were to try to explain what the telescope does to someone with less education during that time period. There was truth in the inventor’s words, but since both parties could not sit down, understand one another and hear each other out in a loving way that promoted learning and understanding, the truth was completely ignored. This is a really long sentence J 2. Learning your perspective means learning your perspective’s limitations.

Often when I am doing creative writing, I think about how great my work is coming along. Then when I go back to the beginning after I have been writing a month, I find that my work is not as great as I thought. Sometimes I pick up something that I wrote years ago, and when I read it, not knowing I was the author, I am amazed with the article.
