Christianity is reasonable in virtue of the impossibility of the contrary.

Greg L. Bahnsen Quotes

There is no man made in the image of God and living in God’s world, whatever God’s attitude toward him and his own feelings about Christ, who does not know the living and true God, his Creator. All men have the requisite knowledge of God to make them eternally responsible before Him; this was true in the Garden, and it does not cease to be true after the fall. Sin or no sin, special revelation or no special revelation, all men inescapably know their God.

The Kingdom must be advanced not merely extensively, but also intensively. The Church must seek to conquer not merely every man for Christ, but also the whole of man.

If no divine law is recognized above the law of the State, then the law of man has become absolute in men’s eyes – there is then no logical barrier to totalitarianism.

A god or revelation capable of proof or rational verification by an autonomous man would be worthless.

Faith in the self-attesting Christ of Scripture is the beginning, not the end result of wisdom.

To reject revelational epistemology is to commit yourself to defending the truth of autonomous epistemology.

We must not be satisfied to present Christianity as the most reliable position to hold among the competing options available. Rather, the Christian faith is the only reasonable outlook available to men.
