You said:
“The fact is that some ideas are right and some are wrong and others may fall somewhere in between.”

Some quotes of interest I’ve come across:

This puts us all in a place of humility before God. We must search the Scriptures, we must study Godâ€™s Word, we must wait on God. But because we are still in the evil Age, when we have done our best, we are compelled to say, â€œLord, I have searched Thy Word; but I know only in part; I do not perfectly understand.â€ This lays a demand upon us that we hold the Word of God both in humility and in charity: in humility towards God and in charity towards our brethren.’
–George Ladd, Gospel of the Kingdom

I have not yet been able to stereotype my theological views, and have ceased to expect ever to do so. The idea is preposterous. None but an omniscient mind can continue to maintain a precise identity of view and opinions. Finite minds, unless they are asleep or stultified by prejudice, must advance in knowledge. The discovery of new truth will modify old views and opinions, and there is perhaps no end to this process with finite minds.
– Charles G. Finney

How these two sides of Godâ€™s truthâ€”His sovereignty in choosing us (Rom. 9 ) and our responsibility to confess and believe (Rom. 10 )â€”reconcile is impossible for us to understand fully. But Scripture declares both perspectives of salvation to be true (John 1:12-13 ). Itâ€™s our duty to acknowledge both and joyfully accept them by faith.
–John MacArthur

Thanks Ed, and thanks for visiting. I am still reading your comment and trying to get my mind around it. It just doesn’t seem to want to stretch like it used to.

Hello, ochristian,
Just wanted to let you know that I replied to the comments you left at the Debunking Christianity blog, i.e., concerning the topic, Non-Exclusivism, Universalism, Evil, and, Philosophy As One Big “IF” — an article dated Thursday, October 26, 2006.

I appreciate your calm tone.

Cheers,
Ed (hopeful agnostic, but not a believer in revelatory holy books) Babinski
