Episode notes
Knowledge Reveals God’s Existence
- R.C. Sproul argues that belief in God is not primarily intellectual but moral because creation clearly reveals God's attributes.
- Therefore ignorance cannot be used as a legitimate excuse for unbelief on the final day of judgment.
Belief Is A Moral Choice
- Sproul emphasizes that affirming God's existence is a moral decision, not merely an intellectual conclusion.
- Denying God therefore carries moral culpability because people refuse to honor what they implicitly know.
The Fraud Of The Ignorance Excuse
- Sproul identifies the common atheist or agnostic excuse as ignorance: "I didn't know you were there."
- He insists Paul calls this claim fraudulent because God's attributes are clearly seen in creation.
