What do I mean by "indefensible"?
- "Indefensible" is a doctoral thesis the Ph.D. candidate can't defend. He did a lot of research, so you're supposed to take his word for it and not ask too many hard questions.
- "Indefensible" is a statement you want someone to believe without questioning your rationale. Once I was commenting about various buttons on the steering wheel. One button was raised while another had several small bumps on it. You won't believe what I said. "That's for the blind people." Indefensible! (You see, I had to be right, even though blind people don't drive cars.)
- "Indefensible" is a ridiculous claim you're asked to believe, knowing you can't literally disprove it. We're now being asked to believe in directed panspermia, a theory of human origin having to do with aliens.
- "Indefensible" is a prediction you make now and later wish you hadn't. Thomas Watson, former chairman of IBM, said in 1943,“I think there is a world market for maybe five computers.” In hindsight (say it with me), "What was he thinking?
What is your indefensible claim about God?
- It is a statement of falsehood that is exposed by your thoughts, actions and words.
- It is the thing you stopped praying about, or at least you don't pray about it frequently and fervently as you once did.
- It is the thing about which you're no longer 100% convinced. It is still theoretically possible, but not highly probable.
- It is how or where you limit God. It is a conclusion that shrinks His character or capability.
