Enjoyed the teampyro blogpost yet again, the one for today. Or ‘yesterday’, the 26th. I liked how Phil Johnson put point to fact that [in my own terms] “re-considering” one’s faith or theological position every day of the week is in no way virtuous, but as Phil said, is not an exercise of humility, but unbelief.

Let’s face it: steadfast immovability is one of those virtues that has lost its luster in these postmodern times. “Epistemological humility” is the new supreme and cardinal virtue. We’re supposed to refuse to be certain or dogmatic about anything.

Our culture thinks rank skepticism (or even spiritual nihilism) ishumility, and hipster Christians have overcontextualized themselves to the point where they seem to think that’s true. Strong convictions—the very thing Paul calls for here—are out. If you don’t undergo some kind of major paradigm shift in your theology and your worldview every few years or so, you are not only hopelessly behind the times, you are incurably arrogant, too.

That’s why, according to any postmodern way of thinking, dogmatism is to be avoided at all costs, diversity is to be cultivated no matter what, and tolerance means never having to say “You’re wrong.”

That’s not “humility”; that’s unbelief.
