Why do we believe these things and how do we know them?What about revelation?So, if you were chatting with a neighbor and they casually said to you, “How do you know anything” What might you say?Helpful Definitions:Emotivism: My feelings are a reliable indicator of that which is true.Empiricism: Whatever I can touch, taste, see, and experience through my senses is true.Faith: Affirmation, affection, and allegiance.Revelation: The self-disclosure of God. God Himself is the sole and proper witness to himself.
