Pilgrim,
This recently posted essay by Hywel Jones is beautifully done. I have some comments and a question to follow.
If I was the Devil,(no comments please) the very first thing I would do in order to discredit the Scripture would be to cause unbelief in its very first words.
Why do these "New Evangelicals" insist on this compromise between the pseudo-scientific Darwinian priests and the Scripture? Why do they not know that to believe in these "scientific" pagan philosophers requires also a believe in millions upon millions of obvious scientifically unfounded miracles (the "beneficial" mutating gene of evolution)? I thank my God that I only believe in a merciful and omniscient Creator who creates the single miracle of our world, ex nihilo.
I only found this essay to be difficult in a couple of places in the beginning. Maybe you could provide an example or an easy explanation for what the author means by the following on page 4.
This divine self-disclosure is not to be reduced to the guiding of the historical process to a redemptive goal, nor to a divine human encounter in which man is made aware of God's glory and claims. This is a debased though widely held concept of revelation.
Does the author mean by this "not one or the other but both"?
