Pushing The Antithesis – Part 6 – Worldviews in Collision

In the sixth chapter the focus is on the practical antithesis between the worldviews discussed up to this point. As was the case in previous posts, I’m going to be documenting notes from the chapter that I think are worthy of attention. Presuppositional Apologetics requires that you recognize the antithesis (there’s that word again, make note of it) between Christianity and all variations of the non-Christian worldview, whether religious or secular. Faith is the the necessary framework for rationality and understanding. Unresolvable conflicts exist between the two outlooks on:

Reality – The nature of things

Knowledge – a.k.a. Epistomology

Ethics – Morality – How we live

Redemptive Historic Examples

Adam in Eden – After our first parents sin, the antithesis began

Cain & Abel

Days of Noah

The Exodus from Egypt

Satan vs. Christ & Christians

Hell is the final and eternal antithesis.

The unbeliever must be made to realize the stark difference between his worldview and the Christian faith so that he can be made to see the utter meaningless in his own outlook.
