Thank you, Steve. I will send you the book to the address you mentioned in your post. I sincerely appreciate your willingness to read the book. Also, I'll try to post an article soon (not written by me, btw) on the issue of James the Just and the brothers of the Lord. If nothing else, perhaps it will advance the dialogue here somewhat.

Best wishes in Christ,

Patrick

Thank you, Steve. I will send you the book to the address you mentioned in your post. I sincerely appreciate your willingness to read the book.

Life is a journey. I will happily read your book... I read Boettner's Reformed Doctrine Of Predestination while still quite Arminian; I hated it, but I couldn't deny it. (Since you are, so the two-minute biographies relate, a former Presbyterian -- like every other major Lay Apologist fielded by Rome today -- perhaps you can appreciate that. If not, then just consider it instead my first real introduction to Augustinianism, which is certainly respectable).

And yeah, before you say it, I am talking about Boettner's good stuff... I do know that Boettner's Roman Catholicism was pretty shoddy work by compare. In fact, part of my own journey into Orthodox Christian Amillennialism (more Augustine for you) has been the realization that Rome, for all her faults, cannot be the Whore of Babylon (even when she acts like it, whatever Luther may have said), given that much of Revelation was fulfilled in AD 67-70.

More on that subject if you like, incidentally -- I do like to research my Arguments. Just don't tell Hal Lindsey, Dave Hunt, and Tim LaHaye I told you so; for my heretical refusal to identify Roman Catholicism with Babylon, and -- what is more damning -- my surely-apostate rejection of Dispensational Pre-Millennialism, they might (gasp!) excommunicate me from the Protestant Confession... whatever that means, nowadays.

Also, I'll try to post an article soon (not written by me, btw) on the issue of James the Just and the brothers of the Lord. If nothing else, perhaps it will advance the dialogue here somewhat.

I'll look forward to it.

Just do me a favor -- to abuse the name of a currently-popular English movie, let's not "Bend It Like Bechtel"...

Been there, done that. I'm hoping for better.

best, OP
