***You have set up another straw man conditional. Who told you that Edwards didn't convey his message to the masses? In light of the vast amount of reading over the ages, i would strongly suggest that his message was assimilated and comprehended...even by those with public school education.***

I read Edwards in High School. I hated it, and him, but had no problem understanding what I read. That's one reason I hated it, and him. Of course, I was an Arminian back then. I had good reason to hate Edwards and make up any stupid excuse to discount it, and him.

Eventually I grew up. Now, like thoughtful men everywhere, I consider him America's greatest preacher and read his stuff frequently. It is vastly more satisfying than the sour milk preached from most modern day pulpits.

Now this sounds real familiar for some reason...where have i heard this before...Oh yeah, silly me, right here in some of these posts.

Ya suppose that this might be closely related to the level of maturity that we've seen recently?
