Van Til — the late “Presuppositional Apologist” at Westminster Theological Serminary — assumed that the unbeliever’s heart reveals God. And since the unbeliever’s heart is always confused, Van Til concluded that sometimes “confusion is revelational of God.”
 .
This is like saying God’s Revelation is confusing. What do you think – does the unbeliever’s perpetually confused heart reveal the God of Truth? Didn’t Isaiah say there’s “no light” in their hearts? (Isa 8:20)  Note: All quotes in this video are taken from the book, “Van Til’s Apologetic: Readings and Analysis” compiled by Greg Bahnsen.

Cornelius Van Til falsely assumed that God reveals himself outside the Bible — in nature and in the unbeliever’s heart.

But Van Til also correctly assumed that God’s Revelation is equally authoritative wherever it occurs.

This
led Van Til to an awkward conclusion — that the Bible is not our sole
authority but must compete with the “equal authority” of Natural
Revelation.

John Piper says God is like Bill Clinton. In fact, he says all unbelievers are “like God”.

How did Piper arrive at this awkward position? He assumes that all unbelievers have God’s truth “deep down”. Therefore, Piper must say that God is like unbelievers. Sadly, Piper fails to realise that natural man lost the image of God at the fall. Unbelievers are now as ignorant of God as oxen, birds and brute beasts are (Isa 1:3, Jer 8:7, Jude 1:10)

CS Lewis said some Psalms are “diabolical”, “petty”, “vulgar”, “terrible” and “contemptible”.

Lewis assumed that the imprecatory Psalms are David’s own personal cursings. And thus, Lewis thought that the imprecatory Psalms were “diabolical”. After all, the Scripture forbids men to curse. And since the imprecatory Psalms contain cursing, Lewis concluded that these Psalms are “un-Christian”.

Sadly, Lewis did not see the other option (the imprecatory Psalms are actually Christ cursing his enemies, the reprobate)

Christ says, “But these HOSTILE to me, those not desiring me to reign over them, bring them here and EXECUTE THEM BEFORE ME.” (Luke 19:27)
