He's quickly become one of my most admired authors, precisely because he was willing to openly declare such terribly unpopular - yet undeniably true - notions. In arguing points of the Gospel and Biblical content, it's difficult for me to bear in mind that unbelievers, with the absence of the Holy Spirit or even of <I> personal experience</I> in such matters, aren't really in a position to argue. It seems to me on the surface to be arrogance, but examined critically, I can see the reason of that position, grounded in its Scriptural basis.<BR/><BR/>To think that I've spent so much of my life being convinced by the opinions of unbelievers that people like Spurgeon and Jonathan Edwards were aberrants...Devin Parkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00944849659698291143noreply@blogger.com
