[εις επαινον δοξης αυτου] New comment on Ideas Have Consequences, citation #1.

Matthew LaPine has left a new comment on your post "Ideas Have Consequences, citation #1":

Though we are told and can observe that the Truth of God is somewhat transcendent in that it is declared in His creation, it does not seem to be so objectively observable. After all, it is only that which is revealed specifically to the individual, the subjective, which results in his salvation.
Daniel, I also wanted to ask a little clarification on this. I do think there are aspects of God's revelation that are subjective, but I wouldn't place scripture in that category (the means by which men come to salvation). Authorial intent is a key principle here. God's meaning is intrinsically tied to himself, and his spirit is at work in those who hear his voice so that the salvific experience is based in objective truths. But principles for salvation and principles for art criticism are in different categories. Perhaps, I misread you, but just thought I'd mention that.
