“No poles of two ideas are 100% true, there is always a middle paradox or diagonal answer.”
Christopher Watkin
Biblical Critical Theory – pg. 17-18
Christianity Astray — Book of the Year
So, if this is true as an idea it means it is not 100% true and that in it, when combined with the idea that of two ideas one must be 100% true we can find a middle paradox or diagonal answer that also by definition cannot be 100% true and likewise must be met with its opposite idea yielding another idea that likewise can not be 100% true add infinitum.
Can you say … dialectical?
Book of the year? Does not that idea, which cannot be 100% true, since there are people who are on the other pole whose idea is this book is the trash of the year die of the need for diagonalization?
Calvin Seminary is having this guy speak at their Stob lecture series and he will be saying all kinds of stuff that clearly cannot be, by his own standard, 100% true and will be in need of some diagonalization.
If I were there, and if there was a Q & A time I would file to the microphone and simply ask;
“Are your ideas 100% true and if they are 100% true does that not make them therefore not true since there are people like me who say your ideas are not true?”
Dr. Watkin, aren’t your ideas presented this evening in need of diagonalization?
