Is God’s Sovereignty or Character Most Important?
The most important theological issue for a Christian is determined by whether they think God’s sovereignty or character is most important, and this decision itself depends on whether one believes humanity has true free will.
Does God Exist?
Does God exist? This post looks at the approaches at answering this question. Is it really insensible to claim the supernatural exists and an infinitely-powerful Creator has designed and rules the created realm?
My Presuppositions
The previous four posts examined what I consider to be the four foundational presuppositions: Being, Metaphysics, Ontology, and Epistemology. Here I will give the presuppositions that I have chosen.
Presupposition #4: Epistemology
Epistemology deals with knowledge. There are two foundational epistemological options: (1) Believe in Absolute Truth, or (2) Believe there is NO Absolute Truth, but instead only relative truths.
Presupposition #3: Ontology
Ontology deals with your concept of universal Reality. There are three possible ontologies: Materialism, Unhappy Dualism, and Happy Dualism.
Presupposition #2: Metaphysics
Metaphysics is the question of whether there is a supernatural part to Reality or not. Is the natural world open or closed? Is there something beyond the material world?
Presupposition #1: Being
Being focuses on pure existence itself. What is existence? Is one’s existence timeless or temporal? Is time linear or cyclical?
Worldview
