John

“If the God of Christianity exists, the evidence for His existence is abundant and plain so that it is both unscientific and sinful not to believe in Him.”
― Van Til, Cornelius, Loud and Clear

“It is not kindness to tell patients that need strong medicine that nothing serious is wrong with them.”
― Cornelius Van Til

“[The intellect of fallen man] may be compared to a buzz-saw that is sharp and shining, ready to cut the boards that come to it. Let us say that a carpenter wishes to cut fifty boards for the purpose of laying the floor of a house. He has marked his boards. He has set his saw. He begins at one end of the mark on the board. But he does not know that his seven-year-old son has tampered with the saw and changed its set. The result is that every board he saws is cut slantwise and thus unusable because too short except at the point where the saw made its first contact with the wood. As long as the set of the saw is not changed, the result will always be the same. So also whenever the teachings of Christianity are presented to the natural man, they will be cut according to the set of sinful human personality.”
― Cornelius Van Til, Defense of the Faith

“The Bible is authoritative on everything of which it speaks.
Moreover, it speaks of everything.”
― Cornelius Van Til
