Law of Contradiction: Defending Your Faith with R.C. Sproul

Summary

The sermon explores the prevalence of relativism in modern thought, as highlighted by Allan Bloom's "The Closing of the American Mind," and argues that while people may embrace subjective truth, a consistent relativism is ultimately untenable and illogical. Drawing on Aristotle's concept of logic as the "organon" of science, the speaker demonstrates with an example of contradictory statements that objective truth and rational frameworks are necessary for meaningful communication and understanding. The practical takeaway is that logic and the law of non-contradiction are essential, and attempts to undermine Christian theism often involve their violation, leading to absurdity.
