The first of Hodge\u2019s three points was that reason has the function of \u201creceiving\u201d revelation. Van Til took that as asserting the primacy of the intellect, and we dealt with that in the last chapter. Hodge\u2019s second point is that reason is the <em>judicium contradictionis<\/em>, the judge of contradiction. Hodge says that reason has the \u201cprerogative of deciding whether a thing is possible or impossible. If it is seen to be impossible, no authority and no amount or kind of evidence can impose the obligation to receive it as true.\u201d [IST, 36 = IST2, 79, quoting Charles Hodge, <em>Systematic Theology<\/em> (Grand Rapids: Eerdmans, n.d.), 1:51.]<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u8303\u6cf0\u5c14\u5e94\u8be5\u4f1a\u53cd\u5bf9\u8d3a\u6cbb\uff01\u4f46\u4ed6\u5374\u6ca1\u6709\u8fd9\u6837\u4f5c\u3002<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Van Til Should Have Disagreed with Hodge!

Basically, he also agrees with what Hodge says, but he tries to clarify the question by pressing the distinction between (Christian) theistic and nontheistic views of logic. (In CGG, 183, Van Til seems to reject Hodge\u2019s position flatly: \u201cThe Princeton method, so far as it worked by this method of appeal to the reason of man as such as the judge of the possible and the impossible, was flatly opposed to the Princeton theology.\u201d However, the phrases \u201cso far as\u201d and \u201cas such\u201d imply that Hodge\u2019s point could be taken in a good sense. On p. 184, it is plain that here, as in IST, Van Til criticizes Hodge mainly for failing to distinguish Christian from non-Christian views of reason.) Ultimately, Van Til\u2019s conclusion is that reason does indeed have the right to judge the logical consistency of revelation, but reason itself must be subordinate to God.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u6709\u795e\u8bba\u8005\u7684\u72ec\u7279\u5904\uff1a\u77e5\u9053\u4e0a\u5e1d\u7684\u672c\u6027\u662f\u903b\u8f91\u7684\u57fa\u7840<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>\u975e\u6709\u795e\u8bba\u8005\u79bb\u5f00\u4e0a\u5e1d\u800c\u72ec\u7acb\u8fd0\u4f5c\u903b\u8f91\uff1b<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>\u56e0\u6b64\uff0c\u5176\u4e0a\u5e1d\u7684\u6765\u6e90<\/strong><strong> = <\/strong><strong>\u53ef\u80fd\u6027\u3001\u6216\u7136\u7387<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Theist\u2019s Uniqueness: He Knows That God\u2019s Nature Is Foundation of Logic<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Non-Theist\u2019s Logic Operates Independently from God;<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Thus, His God\u2019s Source = Possibility\/Probability<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u300c\u6709\u795e\u8bba\u7684\u903b\u8f91\u89c2\u300d\u4e0e\u300c\u975e\u6709\u795e\u8bba\u7684\u903b\u8f91\u89c2\u300d\u4e24\u8005\u4e3b\u8981\u7684\u5dee\u522b\u662f\uff0c\u6709\u795e\u8bba\u8005\u77e5\u9053\u4e0a\u5e1d\u7684\u672c\u6027\u662f\u903b\u8f91\u7684\u57fa\u7840\uff1b\u800c\u975e\u6709\u795e\u8bba\u8005\u5219\u76f8\u4fe1\u903b\u8f91\u662f\u300c\u79bb\u5f00\u4e0a\u5e1d\u800c\u72ec\u7acb\u5730\u8fd0\u4f5c\u300d\uff08IST, 37 = IST2, 81\uff09\u3002\u975e\u6709\u795e\u8bba\u8005\u82e5\u76f8\u4fe1\u67d0\u4e00\u79cd\u7684\u4e0a\u5e1d\uff08god\uff09\uff0c\u90a3\u4e2a\u4e0a\u5e1d\u300c\u7684\u6765\u6e90\u4e43\u662f\u53ef\u80fd\u6027\uff08possibility\uff09\u300d\uff1b\u4ed6\u4e0d\u76f8\u4fe1\u4e0a\u5e1d\u624d\u662f\u53ef\u80fd\u6027\u7684\u6765\u6e90\uff08IST, 38 = ITS2, 82\uff09\u3002\u540c\u6837\u7684\u610f\u601d\u4e5f\u53ef\u7528\u300c\u6216\u7136\u7387\u300d\uff08probability\uff09\u6765\u8868\u8fbe\uff08IST, 38 = IST2, 82\uff09\u3002<\/p>\n<p>The main difference between theistic and nontheistic views of logic is that the theist finds the foundation of logic to be the nature of God, while the nontheist believes that logic \u201coperates independently of God.\u201d (IST, 37 = IST2, 81.)

It leaves certain important question unanswered, and so we must look at what he says elsewhere on these issues. Does Van Til want to say, for example, that unbelievers have no ability to think logically? No, says Van Til. The antithesis between believer and unbeliever is ethical, not metaphysical. Even the lost in hell \u201chave not lost the power of rational and moral determination.\u201d (PDS, 254.) Van Til is saying that the unbeliever may be very competent in logic, just as he may have other natural gifts in abundance. Believers do not necessarily excel unbelievers in intelligence; indeed, the opposite is often true: not many wise are called (I Cor. 1:26). But the unbeliever uses his natural gifts to repress and attack the truth. Here Van Til\u2019s famous illustration of the buzz saw is helpful: the unbeliever is like a buzz saw that is very sharp and efficient, but has been set in the wrong direction.

(Here I return to some of the territory I explored in 1976 in VTT.) We saw in chapter 5 that Van Til refuses to accept any easy resolution of the Trinitarian paradox: one God in three persons. He does believe that the Trinity is not really contradictory. Yet he also maintains that it is not possible to fully remove from our formulations the appearance of contradictions. The doctrine of the Trinity obviously appears contradictory on an unbelieving view of logic, but this apparent contradiction also exists on a Christian view of logic. The same thing is true with another form of unity and diversity in God, the relation between God\u2019s nature and his attributes.

If God\u2019s will is directed by his intelligence, then it seems that his free acts, such as Creation and redemption, become necessary: God had to create and redeem us.

Certainly he had no interest in defending the Arminian concept of free will. But he did not believe that Clark had fully solved the paradox, either. What, specifically, is unresolved? That is hard to say. Van Til says, \u201cThat all things in history are determined by God must always seem, at first sight, to contradict the genuineness of my choice.\u201d (CGG, 10.)\u00a0 That phrase, \u201cat first sight,\u201d might seem to suggest that the problem can, in fact, be resolved \u2013 \u201cat second sight.\u201d But that is not Van Til\u2019s view. He holds, in fact, that human beings never reach the point where these matters no longer appear contradictory. What about heaven? Will we there discover solutions to the paradoxes? Probably not, according to Van Til, since our inability to solve them is related to our finitude.\u00a0 And, of course, in heaven we remain finite.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u5085\u5170\u59c6\u8bba\u8303\u6cf0\u5c14\uff1a\u57fa\u7763\u5f92\u8d8a\u6765\u8d8a\u6b23\u8d4f\u4e0a\u5e1d\u7684\u667a\u6167\u548c\u826f\u5584<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>\u6211\u4eec\u5728\u6069\u5178\u4e2d\u957f\u8fdb\uff0c\u6653\u5f97\u6b23\u8d4f\u4e0a\u5e1d\u7684\u4e3b\u6743\uff08\u81ea\u7531\uff09<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>\u6211\u4eec\u5728\u7075\u6027\u4e0a\u6210\u719f\uff0c\u4f53\u4f1a\u300c\u4e0a\u5e1d\u6709\u7b54\u6848\u7684\u300d\uff0c\u5c31\u4e0d\u518d\u56e0\u300c\u77db\u76fe\u300d\u800c\u62b1\u6028<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>\u8303\u6cf0\u5c14\u7684\u7ec8\u70b9\u662f\u5c5e\u7075\u7684\uff0c\u800c\u4e0d\u662f\u903b\u8f91\u4e0a\u7684<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>\u8303\u6cf0\u5c14\u6709\u5f88\u591a\u5c5e\u7075\u7684\u6d1e\u89c1\uff0c\u53ef\u662f\u5f80\u5f80\u628a\u5b83\u4eec\u7ea6\u5316\u4e3a\u903b\u8f91\u6216\u795e\u5b66\u539f\u5219<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Frame on Van Til: Christians Grow in Appreciating God\u2019s Wisdom, Goodness<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>We Grow in Grace, Appreciate Sovereignty\/Freedom<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>We Mature, Appreciate: God Has Answer, We Don\u2019t Complain Any More<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Van Til Is Making a Spiritual (Not Logical) Point<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Van Til Makes Penetrating Spiritual Insights (But Reduces to Logic\/Theo.)<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u8303\u6cf0\u5c14\u5728\u8fd9\u91cc\u7684\u610f\u601d\u5927\u6982\u662f\u6307\u57fa\u7763\u5f92\u4f1a\u6210\u957f\uff0c\u8d8a\u6765\u8d8a\u6653\u5f97\u6b23\u8d4f\u4e0a\u5e1d\u4f5c\u4e3a\u7684\u826f\u5584\u548c\u667a\u6167\u3002\u5047\u5982\u5728\u300c\u4e4d\u773c\u770b\u6765\u300d\uff0c\u6211\u4eec\u4f1a\u89c9\u5f97\u4e0a\u5e1d\u7684\u4e3b\u6743\u4e0e\u4eba\u7684\u8d23\u4efb\u76f8\u77db\u76fe\uff0c\u90a3\u4e48\uff0c\u5f53\u6211\u4eec\u5728\u6069\u5178\u4e2d\u4e0d\u65ad\u957f\u8fdb\uff0c\u6211\u4eec\u5c31\u4f1a\u5728\u300c\u591a\u770b\u4e00\u773c\u300d\u7684\u60c5\u51b5\u4e0b\uff0c\u4e0d\u4f1a\u90a3\u4e48\u51b2\u52a8\u5730\u4f5c\u5224\u65ad\u3002\u540a\u8be1\u7684\u95ee\u9898\u6c38\u4e0d\u80fd\u771f\u6b63\u5730\u89e3\u51b3\uff0c\u4f46\u6211\u4eec\u5728\u7075\u6027\u4e0a\u957f\u5927\u6210\u719f\uff0c\u8d8a\u4f53\u4f1a\u300c\u4e0a\u5e1d\u6709\u7b54\u6848\u7684\u300d\uff0c\u6211\u4eec\u5c31\u4e0d\u518d\u56e0\u4e0d\u80fd\u89e3\u51b3\u7684\u300c\u77db\u76fe\u300d\u800c\u62b1\u6028\u3002\u6211\u76f8\u4fe1\u8303\u6cf0\u5c14\u5728\u8fd9\u91cc\u5bf9\u300c\u8868\u9762\u77db\u76fe\u300d\u6240\u4f5c\u7684\u56de\u5e94\uff0c\u662f\u4e00\u4e2a\u5c5e\u7075\u7684\u529d\u52c9\uff0c\u800c\u4e0d\u662f\u903b\u8f91\u7684\u8bba\u636e\u3002\uff08\u6b63\u5982\u6211\u4eec\u5728\u5176\u4ed6\u76f8\u5173\u5730\u65b9\u6240\u89c1\uff0c\u8303\u6cf0\u5c14\u5f80\u5f80\u900f\u5f7b\u89c2\u5bdf\u5c5e\u7075\u751f\u547d\u7684\u73b0\u8c61\uff0c\u5e76\u4f5c\u51fa\u4e2a\u4eba\u7684\u5206\u4eab\uff0c\u53ea\u662f\u4ed6\u4f1a\u628a\u8fd9\u4e9b\u6d1e\u89c1\u4ee5\u903b\u8f91\u548c\u795e\u5b66\u539f\u5219\u6765\u8868\u8fbe\u3002\uff09<\/p>\n<p>Perhaps what Van Til means to say is that Christians grow in their ability to appreciate the goodness and wisdom of God\u2019s ways. If our first impulse (\u201cat first sight\u201d), in contemplating divine sovereignty, is to claim that it contradicts human responsibility, we may nevertheless have better impulses (\u201cat second sight\u201d) as we grow in grace. The problem is never actually resolved, but we gain the spiritual maturity to appreciate that God has an answer, and we do not go around complaining about an unresolved contradiction. This is, I believe, a spiritual, rather than a logical, point that Van Til wants to make about apparent contradictions. (As we shall see in other connections, Van Til often makes penetrating observations on issues of spiritual life and interpersonal communication, but he tends to reduce them all to issues of logic and theological principle.)<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u5c31\u7b97\u5c5e\u7075\u6210\u719f\uff0c\u8fd8\u662f\u6709\u903b\u8f91\u4e0a\u7684\u95ee\u9898\uff1b\u8303\u6c0f\u5e94\u5426\u79f0\u5b83\u4e3a\u300c\u8868\u9762\u903b\u8f91\u77db\u76fe\u300d\uff1f<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>\u82e5\u5426\u5b9a\u963f\u7c73\u5ff5\u4e3b\u4e49\u7684\u67b6\u6784\uff0c\u4eba\u7684\u9009\u62e9<\/strong> <strong>\uff1d<\/strong> <strong>\u771f\u6b63\u7684\u9009\u62e9<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>\u56e0\u6b64\uff0c\u4e3a\u751a\u4e48\u8303\u6cf0\u5c14\u8981\u575a\u6301\u8fd9\u96be\u9898\u662f\u903b\u8f91\u4e0a\u7684\u96be\u9898\uff1f<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Even With Spiritual Maturity, Logical Problem Remains<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Should Van Til Call This \u201cApparent Logical Contradiction\u201d?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>If We Reject Arminian Construction, Choice = Genuine<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>So Why Does Van Til Insist: Problem = Problem in Logic?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u8303\u6cf0\u5c14\u575a\u6301\uff0c\u5c31\u7b97\u5c5e\u7075\u6210\u719f\uff0c\u8fd8\u662f\u6709\u903b\u8f91\u4e0a\u7684\u96be\u9898\u3002\u751a\u4e48\u96be\u9898\uff1f\u5c31\u4ee5\u4e0a\u7684\u4f8b\u5b50\u800c\u8a00\uff0c\u5728\u4e00\u4e2a\u4e0a\u5e1d\u9884\u5b9a\u4e00\u5207\u7684\u5b87\u5b99\u4e2d\uff0c\u4eba\u300c\u771f\u6b63\u300d\u7684\u9009\u62e9\u662f\u663e\u4e3a\u77db\u76fe\u7684\uff0c\u8303\u6cf0\u5c14\u63cf\u8ff0\u8fd9\u662f\u300c\u8868\u9762\u903b\u8f91\u77db\u76fe\u300d\uff0c\u8fd9\u6837\u8bf4\u5bf9\u5417\uff1f\u5f53\u6211\u4eec\u62d2\u7edd\u963f\u7c73\u5ff5\u7684\u81ea\u7531\u610f\u5fd7\u89c2\uff0c\u6211\u4eec\u6240\u76f8\u4fe1\u7684\u6839\u672c\u5c31\u4e0d\u4f1a\u4e0e\u4e0a\u5e1d\u7684\u5b8c\u5168\u4e3b\u6743\u4ea7\u751f\u77db\u76fe\u3002\u5f53\u6211\u4eec\u62d2\u7edd\u963f\u7c73\u5ff5\u7684\u67b6\u6784\u65f6\uff0c\u6211\u4eec\u4e5f\u6839\u672c\u4e0d\u4f1a\u8ba4\u540c\u300c\u5b8c\u5168\u65e0\u56e0\u6216\u81ea\u4e3b\u7684\u9009\u62e9\u300d\u624d\u662f\u300c\u771f\u6b63\u300d\u7684\u9009\u62e9\u3002\u6309\u6539\u9769\u5b97\u7684\u7acb\u573a\uff0c\u6240\u6709\u4eba\u7c7b\u7684\u9009\u62e9\u90fd\u662f\u771f\u6b63\u7684\u9009\u62e9\uff0c\u6240\u4ee5\uff0c\u4e3a\u4f55\u4f1a\u6709\u6240\u8c13\u300c\u771f\u6b63\u9009\u62e9\u300d\u7684\u96be\u9898\uff1f\u800c\u8303\u6cf0\u5c14\u53c8\u4e3a\u4f55\u575a\u6301\u8fd9\u96be\u9898\u662f\u903b\u8f91\u4e0a\u7684\u96be\u9898\uff1f<\/p>\n<p>Van Til, then, would insist that even with spiritual maturity, the logical problem remains.

Also, once we reject the Arminian construction, we must also deny that a \u201cgenuine\u201d choice must be an uncaused or autonomous choice.
