Why Not Both?
Christians need to think straight in many of these areas:
A false dilemma is a logical fallacy in which an either/or is being demanded, when a both/and is the way to go. One can get rather technical about all this, but let’s keep it really simple. An obvious and easy-to-understand example features a TV ad for tacos.
Adults are arguing and debating about which must be used: soft or
hard taco shells. A little girl rightly asks, “Why not both?” Why not
indeed! It is a false dilemma to demand one or the other when both can
do. In this case it is a personal preference – a matter of choice. Thus
there is no right or wrong answer.When it comes to more important matters however, we must be a bit more
careful. Some things clearly ARE a case of either/or. Let me offer just
one quick example of this. You can either embrace and affirm the
teachings of Islam or you embrace and affirm the teachings of
Christianity, but you cannot do both. CONTINUE HERE:
