1 | Biblical Love is not Worldly Love | 1 John 4:21 | jlhetrick | 160718 | ||
Hi Doc, Great quotes! I also found it interesting that you quoted Machen in another post in this thread. Interesting because I recently used that very quote in a recent lesson I taught in our discipleship training at church. Also, I enjoy reading and learning from Arthur W. Pink and have used many of his quotes before as well. Just a thought, I think your post of quotes might be very beneficial to nightjay regarding his post 160215. He might not be following and a post back to him might alert him by email. Anyway, I would be happy to copy and paste your post to nightjay with your permission as I believe it might really be helpful for him. Again, thanks for the quotes, Jeff |

2 | Biblical Love is not Worldly Love | 1 John 4:21 | DocTrinsograce | 160722 | ||
Dear Jeff, Go for it. :-) I really just became much more familiar with J. Gresham Machen after reading -- and writing a review of -- Dr. Terry Chrisope's "Toward a Sure Faith." A very good book. It really drove home the value of understanding the historical context in which theological debates take place. The other thing is that theological debate does not occur in a vacuum: it has a real effect on the person in the pew, although it takes a while to filter down from the ivory towers. I guess the real value of Machen to folks like you and me is his emphasis on the inestimable value of historico-grammatical interpretation of the Scriptures. That's not something new to Christianity, but it is more important than ever in this day and age. Thank you for your encouragement, Jeff. In Him, Doc |
