AMPLIFIED 2015 | 1 Corinthians 1:18 ¶ For the message of the cross is foolishness [absurd and illogical] to those who are perishing and spiritually dead [because they reject it], but to us who are being saved [by God's grace] it is [the manifestation of] the power of God. |

Bible Note: Hi John, I agree. If he were merely asking, "can the Word of God" be aided or clarified to the unbeliever THROUGH the support of literature, science and history, I'd say yes. However, to suggest that the Word itself is somehow inadequate is not only wrong but outside the bounds of Orthodoxy. It denies sola scriptura! Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |
