Logical fallacies are errors in reasoning.
This is highlighted throughout numerous passages:
Ephesians 4:17 Paul commands that believers “walk not as other Gentiles walk” >>> “in the vanity of their mind.”
Something is wrong with their mind. The way they think.
In Romans 12:2, Paul warns the believer not to be “conformed to this world” in what way? What’s the recommended prescription Paul offers? “Be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind…”
Again, there’s an appeal to change the way you think.
In describing spiritual warfare in 2 Corinthians 10:4-5, Paul clarifies that our weapons are not “carnal,” but the goal of the Christian is to cast “down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God…”
Once more, the battleground is ideas – predicated upon bad thinking and non-biblical worldviews.
To commit logical fallacies is to sin against the will of God.
One of the great sins of our current generation is not to appeal to reason based upon the infallible, inerrant words of God, but to appeal to emotion and poor arguments (Job 6:25).
And, one of those errors in thinking is the Ad Hominem fallacy. Where an arguer is not capable of providing a clear, cogent, and logically ordered set of premises that infer a relevant conclusion.
It’s easier to call people names (“Blood denier”, “Cultist,” “Bigot, “Unkind,” “hypocrite”, etc.) than to make a good case for what you believe, or why your “opponent’s” argument fails.
This one fallacy leads to other fallacies that tend to break down dialogue and turn into an unfruitful childish rant.
Christian’s should be better than that. We represent Jesus Christ, who will give an account for how we represent Him (Rom. 14:12).
