Either / Or.<BR/><BR/>On 4- Again, we agree. Understanding seeking faith is idolatry. It is that approach that characterizes, in my mind, the work of fundamentalists and some evangelicals. This is, at its heart, the difference I have with Joe Cathey; i.e., his work seems to base faith ON understanding whereas I see understanding as based ON faith.Jimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16698562143972216357noreply@blogger.com
