A Wee Bit More

A couple of very reasonable posters have urged me to spend my time on more fruitful endeavors than trying to persuade Dr. Clark of my orthodoxy. While I have no intention of conducting a debate like this ad infinitum, I do believe it is fruitful now. While it would be wonderful to persuade Dr. Clark, the exchange of views can be entirely successful otherwise. If it persuades a significant number of people in the audience of the true state of affairs, it will have been worth it. This is what Luke says about the debating prowess of Apollos. He vigorously refuted the Jews in public debate. And what was the result? He was an encouragement to those who through grace had believed. I am convinced that there are many in the Reformed community who are still making up their minds on federal vision issues, and this kind of exchange can be very profitable for them. So I don’t intend to debate this issue world without end. But I am going to keep it up for a wee bit more.
