(very long) Message-ID: <1094@ihuxm.UUCP> Date: Tue, 16-Oct-84 11:38:12 EDT Article-I.D.: ihuxm.1094 Posted: Tue Oct 16 11:38:12 1984 Date-Received: Wed, 17-Oct-84 05:40:10 EDT References: <239@qantel.UUCP> Organization: AT&T Bell Labs, Naperville, IL Lines: 20 Ken Nichols said an awful lot of things, some of them catching weaknesses in "EVEN IF I DID BELIEVE..." article that I saw myself. Some of the better points remained unopposed: "I can not explain how I know, but I do". That means that you don't. One sentence above all characterizes the value of Ken's arguments about God's perfection: > God loves you, and desires to commune with you. But he can only do > so if you confess your sin and relinquish your pride in yourself for the joy > of the Christian life. He just can not fulfill his desire to commune, you know. Not unless you give him a hand. There probably will be a 600-line clarification. We'll see. Tim Maroney did such a good job that it is hard to dispose of him in a hurry. Mike Cherepov
