maybe,&nbsp;<em>this instance of the discipline of semiotics<\/em>&nbsp;goes into&nbsp;<em>a larger judgment,<\/em>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<em>that larger judgment<\/em>&nbsp;is&nbsp;<em>the preunderstanding<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>0131 So, I need to step back.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For modern science, the Positivist&#8217;s judgment is the larger judgment that contains the empirio-schematic judgment as&nbsp;<em>what ought to be<\/em>&nbsp;(secondness).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here is a picture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a

be,<\/em>&nbsp;secondness) into relation with the dyad, a noumenon [cannot be objectified as] its phenomena (<em>what is,<\/em>&nbsp;firstness).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This relation is derived in&nbsp;<em>Comments on Jacques Maritain&#8217;s Book (1935) Natural Philosophy<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The positivist intellect has a rule, saying, &#8220;Metaphysics is not allowed.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Well, to me, that sounds like&nbsp;<em>a preunderstanding<\/em>&nbsp;that is alien to the Bible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And, that impression is supported by the fact that&nbsp;<em>modern science<\/em>&nbsp;is&nbsp;<em>what the doctrines of naturalism, evolutionism, scientism, secular humanism and relativism celebrate<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, article 19 condemns those who try to fit Scripture into the alien preunderstanding of the Positivist&#8217;s judgment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Not surprisingly, everyone committed to the Positivist&#8217;s judgment belongs to&nbsp;<em>the exaltation of nature<sub>3c<\/sub>&nbsp;camp<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, they don&#8217;t care about grace<sub>3c<\/sub>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Plus, article 19 ends up back-handing Christians in&nbsp;<em>the exaltation of grace<sub>3c<\/sub>&nbsp;camp<\/em>&nbsp;who claim that the Bible offers the same information as science.&nbsp;&nbsp;Ross calls them &#8220;hard concordists&#8221;.&nbsp;&nbsp;Scripture offers the same results as<em>&nbsp;modern empirio-schematic inquiry.<\/em>&nbsp;&nbsp;In order to make this claim, hard concordists must ignore the genres (see Ross in chapter 11) of ancient Near East literature.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Oh, is that what&nbsp;<em>the religions mentioned in chapter 10<\/em>&nbsp;are doing as well?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>0133 Okay, if all
