David:

If your goal is to show the arbitrariness or absurdity of someone else's views, and you manage to do that, then what you've done is to show them the arbitrariness or aburdity of their view. That's all. That doesn't mean that you yourself don't hold arbitrary or absurd views. Of course you do. If you can do that to others, in love, then it is only right that you hope that others will do that for you.

This has nothing to do with Van Til's position about "apparent contradictions" in that way, as if you can put the one up against the other.
