Geisler, but to any of us who actually understand this "way" we realize
that White did not even understand the "way" Geisler showed.

There is a reason that you cannot understand. It is because of your
fundamental presuppositions, as I mentioned before, which you poo-pooed.

because
God says it, rather than God saying a thing because it is right.; 2)
occasionalism;
and 3) determinism. (Theistic)

Until you are willing to admit that just perhaps your entire
presuppositional system
