I think one of the reasons I have such little respect for so much Cessessationist hogwash is . . .

it insultingly to God pretends that He essentially rolled up the sidewalk and went home leaving us more or less at satan’s mercy without Holy Spirit’s power.

What an outrageous idea!

[Cronos]

He essentially rolled up the sidewalk and went home leaving us more or less at satan’s mercy without Holy Spirit’s power.

Yes, and this is the same crowd who believes that we all (including Moses!) are just robots with no free will to choose or say no to God.

To be a cesasionist is to say "Ok, there's a God, but He's not bothered with us, so do whatever you like." which is NOT a Christian God and more importantly, how can a God who is so actively involved as we read in scriptures, just pack up and leave?
