Postmodernism says nothing can be truly known. There is no way to prove one religion is true over any other. It is all relativistic and pluralistic.
Many Christians are confident that what they believe is truth and can definitely be known beyond a shadow of a doubt. I believe them. I believe it is possible for Christians to know with asbolute certainty that the Bible is the truth. Now, this kind of thing is incomprehensible to the human mind. It can only be accomplished by a God for whom "nothing is impossible" (Luke 1:37). Verily, to know the truth is something that only the Holy Spirit can impart (1 Corinthians 2:6-14).
Despite all this, I would argue that Biblical Christianity is perfectly suited for the postmodern mind! Indeed, if one finds oneself unable to know the truth beyond a shadow of a doubt, then take heart because Christianity is your religion. For everything in the Bible can only be received and understood by faith. And who is in a better position to trust, have faith, than one who doubts? Who is in a better position to step out in faith withouth seeing or knowing, than the postmodernist? Truly, the postmodernist would survive only by a reckless faith. And God likes that kind of faith.
About Us
- Ricky and Aidan DiMartino
- We were married May 20, 2007. We met at Asbury College in Wilmore, Kentucky. Ricky is currently 39 years old, and Aidan is 38 years old. We had our first child, Aolani Elizabeth, in February 2010, and we had our second child, Micaiah Oliver, in December 2011. We had a miscarriage in 2013, and we had our third child, Raphael Preston, in October 2017. Our fourth child, Morgan Israel, debuted in May 2020. Then, we had another miscarriage in November 2021. Aidan was born with a nervous system disorder called Friedreich's Ataxia (FA), and has been using a wheelchair since August 2005. But, Jesus paid for her healing, and we are going to see it! Enough of the information. Our heart is merely to follow hard after Jesus and truly be His disciples. We desire to be a part of what God is doing and not try to make God be a part of what we are doing. And God is moving mightily around the globe! We became missionaries in April 2018 and are working in our first assignment, Public Relations for International Media Services. We are so excited about our role in Bible translation!
