Didn't know that this discussion would get so heated. At least I put my hat in the ring.

I just finished reading parts of the book on Amazon.com. It looks really good. I think I will have to splurg on it.

This all sounds like fabulous stuff. Alas I have not yet had the pleasure of reading this book although it appears as thought the general concepts within are directly applicable with my current spiritual thoughts.

My 20c worth on the authority of the Bible is that it is helpful to try and see things from the point of view of someone who reads the Bible for the first time. In their mind they have no reason to believe that it is any more valid than any other religious works or the “tale of the flying spaghetti monster” for that matter. While the Bible is the word of God I believe that we can only be convicted of it's truth and authority by the work of the Holy Spirit.

I feel that the Bible also is subject to the test of the fruit of the spirit. While many claim the Bible is self authenticating I believe that more accurately it is authenticated by the influence of the Holy Spirit in our lives. By the work of the Holy Spirit we are convicted of the sinful state of our nature, our need for redemption and the sanctity of life. These truths are strongly supported in the Bible.

I will however go so far as to say that in the absence of the Bible the Holy Spirit works on the lives of everyone, Theists and Atheists alike. We we can see glimpse of the truth they are convicted of in their lives. Sadly on occasion their conviction and example seems to put us to shame. However I would argue that upon further reflection we can see that the Bible has supported these truths all along. Perhaps the value and dignity of homosexuals is an example of this.

Additionally, it is probable that the Holy Spirit convicts each of us according to our own needs at a particular juncture in our lives. Perhaps the lesson to be learnt from post modern thought is that we are not in a position to directly compare our convictions with someone else's. However if all of our convictions stem from God then we would expect that our individual truths are bound together with a common theme. Love God and Love your neighbour as yourself, perhaps?

Jesus said in the testimony of Mathew chapter 24 virus 6. "Many will come in my name and say that Iam Christ and will deceive many". How will the do this? The best answer I could come up with is They teach for doctrine the percepts of man. How many have done just that in recent history? In my opinion let me name a few. Willam Miller,Ellen G White,John Nelson Darby, Taz Rusell, Brigham Young.All these espoused doctrine which the Lord never of himself ever taught. There are more then these this day who do the same. This would e true of many others down through history who have done the same. The point is this every time the Lord set out to put His house in order the adversary was not far behind to conterdict what God was doing,and all this to confuse the many. Not on like when Moses and Aron went before Pharaoh and cast down the rod that turned in to a snake and likewise did pharaoh magicions causing a counterfeit as we know that Aron's rod swallowed up the others. That is what believe has been going on with today's so called prophets,now that doesn't,t mean that there aren't Prophets now I do believe there are but I'm sure also there are false ones too. and usurper's too. Or counterfeiters IF YOU WILL. F J Toney

1 Corinthians 9:19-23

19 Though I am free and belong to no man, I make myself a slave to everyone, to win as many as possible.

20 To the Jews I became like a Jew, to win the Jews. To those under the law I became like one under the law (though I myself am not under the law), so as to win those under the law.

21 To those not having the law I became like one not having the law (though I am not free from God's law but am under Christ's law), so as to win those not having the law.

22 To the weak I became weak, to win the weak. I have become all things to all men so that by all possible means I might save some.

23 I do all this for the sake of the gospel, that I may share in its blessings.

You wrote: " Every evangelist has to accommodate the message to new audiences and new situations. This is exactly what God did in Scripture." WHAT? While agree that there are new audiences and new situations, their is only one truth and it is absolute.

I have not read the book yet so probably should not sling to many arrows, but my thoughts went right to Daniel's prophecy about the two feet mixed with iron and clay. Are we now seeing the results of these feet? Also reminds me of the first beast of Revelation 13 with a body like a leopard--meaning hellenistic I suppose? Hmmm?
