As I come to the conclusion of Josh McDowell's "New Evidence that Demands a Verdict," a work of apologetics for the Christian faith, I have read more than I ever wanted to about the documentary hypothesis (which denies that Moses wrote the Pentateuch etc.), Form Criticism, (which essentially denies that the gospels are true)and the thinking of such skeptics and agnostics as David Hume & Immanuel Kant. Sophistry is defined as subtle, deceptive reasoning. I believe it comes from the arch-deceiver, the father of lies ( John 8:44) The best way to combat the lies is to know the truth. (John 8:31-32)
Glorious Friday encouraging and receiving encouragement from Josh, Gary, and Alex. Saturday morning met up with Matt & Josh, and later with Jose. God is good. Saturday evening had the privilege of getting together with the Monson group, and hearing what God is doing with them. Also introduced the theme of eldership with them, portraying it as part of God's order. (Acts 14:23 & Titus 1:5) Sunday morning back to Cambridge to share on the theme of discipleship, something most Christians of my acquaintance have not experienced. One on one relationships with God first, and then with one another, are the building blocks (living stones 1 Peter 2:5) of the church and the kingdom.
