Pastor King, do you have any particular references at the forefront of your mind?
I think an illustration might serve better than any argument on my part. I would ask you, when God had created Adam and came to him to command him not to eat of the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil, did Adam first have to ask God who/what/wherefore/etc He was before believing his testimony? Even so we, being regenerated by the Spirit of God, hearing that Word, require no prior demonstration that God is before we accept the testimony as His. His own Word or speaking is testimony enough (WCF 1:5), and concurs with the innate conception of God wherewith man is by nature endowed.
I have a question about presuppositions...
Do we pre-suppose (believe) something to be true apriori or are our presuppositions based on some sort of external evidence(s)?
In other words, do we believe in (presuppose) the existence of God based on evidence (His Word, or historical evidence, or natural revelation, or His Spirit drawing us to Himself) or do we believe in (presuppose) His existence as apriori -- apart from external evidences?
Note:
This question isn't necessarily limited to God's existence; we could ask similar questions about presupposing our own existence or the world's existence.
Thanks,
Matthew
