Translated by the power of the Holy Spirit in a manner in which each who heard it was convicted. Are you suggesting that the men who spoke the words were men of strong persuasive oratorical skills and that is why there was such an intense and unparallelled response to the gospel, or was it that these men simply spoke what they believed and the holy spirit convicted those who heard.
Does not the Holy Spirit have the power to turn hearts and minds at the preaching of an imbicile? Should credit be given to the speech writers or should it be given to the subject of the message?
You sound like a presuppositionalist when it comes to apologetics.
I offer no apologies for the gospel. I presuppose only that the Bible is true and that the facts presented in that book are facts and not fables. I have no reason to doubt that when God wrote upon the tablets that he made the heavens and the earth and all that in them is in 6 days, that God did exactly as he said. If that makes me a presuppositionalist, then by gosh I'm proud to accept that title.
All I'm saying is that it was a plain, clear, sound Word of the Lord. No more, no less. It was not gibberish. God does not expect His people to speak gibberish. After all, if He came make an ass speak clear intelligible words, He does not need us to speak gibberish and expect the Holy Spirit to do some mystical translation on the fly.
So, want to retract your statement about DeMar now that we have beaten this horse to death?
