Washer says... "...65% to 75% of America is Christian and yet we're absolutely immoral. Because we're not Christian. And we're not Christian because -- not because this country is gospel hardened but because this country's gospel ignorant. And it's gospel ignorant because most of its so-called ministers are gospel ignorant. And

Mark Driscoll thinks his god speaks to him outside the Bible. In sermons posted at Marshillchurch.org, he often says that God spoke to him "audibly" and "told him to start a ministry". How many Driscoll-followers are aware of this? Moreover, how many theology-from-Mars-people think that God will speak to them outside

Washer implies the Apostles are "tight-spirited theologians". He says, "You need a heavenly vision.

Isn't he saying that we need to do works to gain assurance and appease God? It seems to me that Bonhoeffer is glorying in his works, and not in

Millions of people "follow" the Reformer Martin Luther. But how many people would agree with the following quotes by Luther? Most Lutherans and Reformed people are doubting their salvation - and completely agnostic about whether or not Christ did enough. But Luther below says that doubters are doubting because they are self-righteous

Pascal (most of the time) rejected the idea that we can prove God apart from the Bible. I happen to agree -- what are your thoughts? Hebrews 11:3 says it's by faith we know God created the worlds. And only God can give a man faith (eph 2:8), so I don't
