| Well then we can get no further my friend. I am by far an expert of Van Til, but from what I can tell, his problem of paradox lies deep within the "unresolvable by man" paradox, due to the creator/creature distinction, the man's logic vs. God's logic distinction etc., etc. which more applies IMHO to the paradox which you are not interested in discussing.

It seems that if man can not resolve some paradoxes (do to limited knowledge - or man's sin) then man can never be certain he understands Scripture - since all Scripture is paradoxical to man - and only non-contradictory to God. Poor man must embrace the irrational paradoxes - trusting that God will square the circle for man, when man comes in to his glory.
In the mean time, man will have to keep blind faith in paradoxes he does not understand and can not resolve.
