[PetroniusMaximus]

“The author was not discussing his relationship with Jesus. He was discussing the intellectual objections others have to his conversion, or their own.”

My argument still applies.

Any conversion that fails to highlight Jesus is utterly empty - and may likely be nothing more than an intellectual switch akin to trading Plato for Socrates.

But he was not discussing much about his own conversion experience, or what he heard from Christ in those silent moments of prayer. This is not an intimate portrait of his conversion. It is a discussion of the arguments of the intellect made by others.

You cannot see into the man’s soul; you can’t know what his relationship with Christ is like. It sounds a bit as though you think people have to qualify by using the Name of the Lord every x many words, or they just aren’t up to snuff. But I can’t find a place in Scripture where it says, “You must say or write ‘Jesus’ every three sentences or you aren’t a real Christian.”
