You know you've been reading too much Van Til when...

These were taken from the Cornelius Van Til public group on Facebook. They are not all mine as you will see from the names, but they are worth sharing. The quotes without names belong to the name below them. I hope you enjoy these as much as I do, and please feel free to add your own!

You know you’ve been reading too much Van Til when…

1) 'Atheist’ and 'little girl sitting on her Granddad's lap and slapping him in the face' become synonyms to you.

2) You're always asking your 'partner' for more points of contact. – Paul Huxley

3) You are always out looking for people with Jaundice Eye.

4) When people hear "Another cup of coffee" people think about Starbucks but you think about being charitable when you are dialoguing about the faith.

5) You know what "Antithesis" means.

6) You know who Gordon Clark is...he's the guy that's against Van Til, right? – Jimmy Li

7) You respond to this as I am about to: "Praise God these describe me!"

8) You think that John Frame is either a Roman Catholic or an Arminian. (Ooh, touchy!) – Chris Bolt

9) You start using complicated words to illustrate a simple point, whether in ratiocination or predication.

10) The word presupposition somehow seems appropriate and somewhat necessary to involve during every conversation, whether with the milkman or your 3 year old niece.

11) When you think of every foolish philosophical manoeuvre in terms of Van Tillian illustrations, and in turn think analogically after the mind of Van Til, in a creature-creature fashion.

12) When the most Godly evangelists are heretics or unbiblical.

13) Transcendental, final reference point, autonomous, analogical, borrowing capital, world view, pre-commitment and impossibility of the contrary, need to be packed into a single sentence during a debate or at the breakfast table. – Fraser Mlyk

14) You start using WWII analogies when you talk about Theology, Apologetic Methodology, and Philosophy. – Stephan Diment

15) Out on the road you see a "Real Men Love Jesus" bumper sticker and you mutter to yourself, "Actually, love for Christ is an ethical matter, not a metaphysical one."

16) You think the very implication that one could possibly read TOO MUCH Van Til simply presupposes a fundamentally anti-Christian-theistic position. – Mike Evans
