A DEMONSTRATION OF GOD AND THE ARGUMENTS
FOR THE EXISTENCE OF CHRISTIAN GOD IN CHRISTIAN APOLOGETICS (17)
by Dr. Paul B. Jang (Ph.D, Christian Apologetics) (¿µ¹®) ✝✝✝

CHAPTER II

REVIEW OF THE LITERATURES:
PHILOSOPHICAL AND THEOLOGICAL FRAMEWORK OF THE CONCEPTS AND EXISTENCE OF GOD HISTORICAL AND PHILOSOPHICAL SURVEY

The Negatives of The Concept of Existence

Herman Dooyeweerd said to understand the central significance of the heart to be the religious root of human existence. He confessed as follows:

I came to understand the central significance of the heart , repeatedly proclaimed by Holy Scripture to be the religious root of human existence. On the basis of this central Christian point of view I saw the need of a revolution in philosophical thought of radical character (Dooyeweerd, 1953, Foreword abbreviated to the first edition).

He called this human heart with the tendency of philosophical thought towards the Origin the Archimedean point of philosophy as his starting point of Christian philosophy. He said The Archimedean point of philosophy and tendency of philosophical thought towards the Origin (Dooyeweerd, A New Critique of Theoretical Thought. vol. I. Philadelphia 1953, 😎.

He continued to say, this fixed point from which alone in the course of philosophical thought, we are able to form the idea of the totality of meaning, we call the Archimedean point of philosophy (Dooyeweerd, 1953, 😎.

John Calvin advised not to rack the brains about God; but rather, to contemplate him in his work. This means what may be known of God is manifested in them (men) through the works of God. Therefore, man has the root in his heart which God bestowed to him as the essence of inatus cognitio in the difference from other animals. He explained as follows:

we ought to observe that we are called to a knowledge of God: not that knowledge which, content with empty speculation, merely flits in the brain, but that which will be sounded and fruitful if we duly perceive it, and if it takes root in the heart. For the Lord manifests himself by his power, the force of which we feel within ourselves and the benefits of which we enjoy. We must therefore be much more profoundly affected by this knowledge that if we were to imagine a God of whom no perception came through to us. (Calvin, trans. 1969, I,5,9)

Calvin regarded this root in man as of great importance in the realm of general revelation (Calvin, trans. 1953, I,4,1). But it did not mean that the root in man, the religiosity (some seed of religion) can completely search God, and may be an important factor.

In a sense, his theory of the religiosity may be misunderstood of a deist (T.H.L. Parker). But his theory of the root in the heart has been dealing within the only realm of general or natural revelation. Therefore, his opinion is clear and beyond misapprehension.

Pope asserted that the idea of God in the general proposition was cognitio and a priori (Pope, 235). 💗💗💗
