Bible Question:
Here's a question that has come my mind serveral times as I read Clark and thought about logic: If imperatives are not true or false how do we understand such statements as, "Thy righteousness is an everlasting righteousness, And Thy law is truth." (Ps. 119:142) Or, Rom. 2:20, "... having in the Law the embodiment of knowledge and of the truth...." So, If the law is essentially moral imperatives, what do the Scriptures mean when it says that they are true? My thought is that the Scriptures are refering to the supporting statements that surround the imperatives. In the Decalogue itself there are declarative statements such as, "...in six days the Lord made the heavens and the earth..." or, "I am the Lord your God...." So the Law is not simply the commands, but also declarative statements given to justify the "duty" God requires of us. Yours, for obedience to God's Word Lionstrong |
Bible Answer: Hello Lionstrong A logical conclusion I made is that you are reading Gordon Clark, correct? How does Clark define an imperative? The reason I ask is because your examples appear to be indicative statements. Steve |
