I say that because I trust that someone has offered you Romans 1. In which case your problem isn't that you can't find Scripture that teaches more exists than your mind. My hunch is your query isn't sincere.

But I have been seeking help with this for a long time, and if anyone ever answers, it is often not helpful, or totally out of line with what I was asking. <br /><br />My question is as follows, does God's indubitable divine revelation deal with solipsism? If not in a public arena, Ie "God's revelation is a product of my mind" is it handled in the the private arena? Ie I at least subjectively am certain that I'm not the only mind due to God's specific revelation into my life which is indubitable (despite the ability to suppress it). <br /><br />I really need help with this, the issue is causing me a great deal of anxiety. <br /><br />Thank you so much,<br /><br />Nate Cronauer Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03131586528284355576noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24271776.post-8931681322501134662017-06-28T23:49:30.567-04:002017-06-28T23:49:30.567-04:00I read albeit quickly section 4(?) and thought the...I read albeit quickly section 4(?) and thought the report begged the crucial question at hand; on what basis is Christ's active obedience intrinsically meritorious? The propitiatory sacifce was I think sufficiently explained as having intrinsic value and not merely pactum value.

Union tips the scales as you have aptly demonstrated. I do not think OPC report gave an adequate solution to the dilemma though their final position was as yours on this. In other words the report did not adequately defend strict merit though happily that is the position it concluded.<br /><br /><br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24271776.post-82345773702965720072017-06-27T07:16:29.999-04:002017-06-27T07:16:29.999-04:00Hard to discern why so many are having conceptual ...Hard to discern why so many are having conceptual difficulties on this subject. The reasons could be as varied as the struggles. My suspicion is at least some actually think Adam could have merited strict justice. Therein lies the danger of using a term like justice in a very qualified sense as did Lee Irons. It's just a matter of time until people end up dropping qualifications and believing false doctrine. Some equivocated from the outset too. That's how error often begins, by smuggling in novel terms or giving new meaning to old terms, then by appealing to the traditional term. Take the trinity debate and the use of "subordination." Even if used in a very qualified sense, eventually even if there are any proper qualifications they will likely be dropped. It's hazardous to function this way. Liberals have operated this way for years, beginning with the Bible contains the word of God. It was no longer the only rule of faith and practice.<br />Reformed Apologisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17398596496540697639noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24271776.post-79807026433975815332017-06-27T06:42:18.762-04:002017-06-27T06:42:18.762-04:00Why do so many struggle with this?
