RE: [TruthTalk] Revealed Truth

[ShieldsFamily]

It seems to me that the more worldy and selfish “stuff” a person has in the way, the more contortions one must go through to bring him the truth.  Little children just receive Jesus.  Their little spirits are so pure, there is nothing between their hearts and His. Izzy     Can someone come to a saving knowledge of Christ through logic and rationality alone?  This would involve a discussion of natural law and creation (and most likely the first few chapters of Romans).   Apologetics (the study of creating logical/rational proofs for a religion) begins with the premise that by breaking down the intellectual barriers to faith, one can come to know God.  This is why all apologetic books begin with ‘proofs’ of God’s existence followed closely by some sort of rational outlook on evil and suffering.  Once these two mountains are cleared the apologete (perhaps a word I just made up, but I like it) believes one can be ushered into the kingdom post haste.    Jonathan --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.
