Yet there are some who go the other way i.e. they get stronger in faith and are a help right up to their time of passing from this world and even beyond their passing. Dr Martyn Lloyd-Jones excelled in this respect. He rejected evolution early in his ministry but still held to a long age for the earth. However, he later rejected the long age view to trust the Word of God completely in its chronology.<BR/><BR/>Neil Mooreneil moorehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04381046852732380906noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7649826198961930411.post-15993403851194806302008-05-08T22:28:00.000+10:002008-05-08T22:28:00.000+10:00Unfortunately, Packer has long been part of the pr...Unfortunately, Packer has long been part of the problem. His theology is not that different from SAD: denying, in effect, that Genesis is authoritative history. Then he is shocked that people think that marriage, sourced in Genesis, is likewise "re-interpreted". He endorsed that trashy Mark Noll book, <I>The Scandal of the Evangelical Mind</I>, which is full on hostility toward biblical creation (see reviews by <A HREF="http://creationontheweb.com/content/view/1544/" REL="nofollow">Carl Wieland</A> and <A HREF="http://hermeneutics.kulikovskyonline.net/hermeneutics/nollrev.htm" REL="nofollow">Andrew Kulikovsky</A>.Ktisophiloshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16718156076583190052noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7649826198961930411.post-84089325252098115002008-05-08T19:39:00.000+10:002008-05-08T19:39:00.000+10:00It's not just bishops, old pal.

Add Sandy Stone (opps, I mean Grant), Gordon Cheng, Kung Fu Craig, Peter 'bible believing churches' Jensen, Michael 'boo hoo' Jensen and most Moore graduates: what a great way to evangelise, just deny the natural meaning of the most basically important parts of the Bible!Critiashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16237963162637891378noreply@blogger.com
