It is a faulty question, John, because the premise is wrong. Terry, Kevin, Judy, Linda and me all submit unto Scripture. Nevertheless, if his premise were true and he were dealing with people who do not submit unto Scripture, then he is left with discovering if there is any standard or authority that moves them. His arguments would then have to be couched using premises respected by the persons he is speaking with. Lance quotes Torrance and some other theologians the way we quote Scripture. The problem is that many of us find great fault with Torrance's knowledge and premises. This last post quoting Torrance showed a terrible disregard for history and the prophets of Scripture. It might make Lance feel good to hear this pillow prophet, but it does not comfort those of us who have a healthy fear of God from our knowledge of Scripture and history. We are offended that Torrance would so misrepresent God to a lost and dying world. Peace be with you.
