10 - Myth of Neutrality
Channel: Halting Toward Zion
Date: 2020-03-30

Today we’re talking about the nature of knowledge: what do we know, and how can we know that we know it? When people talk about this question, it’s impossible to leave our religious--or anti-religious--convictions at the door. Because God personally defines reality, our attitude toward Him colors our relationship to absolutely everything else, including evidence and rationality. But trusting God makes a lot of the world make a lot more sense, and we don’t have to know everything in order to understand what God says to us, and to communicate with one another.
