Appeal to Force
...to fall out of the hands of the living God, is a horror beyond our expression, beyond our imagination.... What Tophet is not Paradise, what Brimstone is not Amber, what gnashing is not a comfort, what gnawing of the worme is not a tickling, what torment is not a marriage bed to this damnation, to be secluded eternally, eternally, eternally from the sight of God?"
John Donne.
Theological Statements
Ambiguity
The Greek verb used in 1 Corinthians 13:8 means “to cease permanently,” and implies that when tongues ceased, they would never start up again.- John MacArthur, arguing against speaking in tongues.
Weak Analogy
Certainly there are many phenomena what are three in one sense, one in another (or, more broadly, one-and-many). Saint Patrick’s shamrock is as good an example as any...-John Frame, speaking on the Trinity.
Straw Man
This fallacy is committed when someone misrepresents a position of his opponent in the attempt to discredit them.
Appeal to unqualified authority
Ad Hominem (circumstansial)
This fallacy happens when the cited authority or witness lacks credibility.
The ad hominem circumstantial begins the same way as the ad hominem abusive, but instead of heaping verbal abuse on his or her opponent, the respondent attempts to discredit the opponent's argument by alluding to certain circumstances that affect the opponent.
