Anyone ever feel down about how the perspecuity of the Bible seems at stake by all these precise discussions? I mean, after reading through these tedious arguments about how one is made right with God, discouragement can often set in to me. The fact that one could miss being in heaven one day with Jesus because he didn't have time to sort out FV issues and may be holding to something other than the true, precise Gospel is disturbing.

I'm all for theological discussion, but the way some men have handled this issue (sadly like Doug Wilson), they write their views on these matters as if we are talking about the latest football scores. We are talking about the wrath of God being turned away from sinners which is light years more serious that even the worst imaginable cancer diagnosis!

Is the Bible's perspecuity, as far as one knows he/she is right with God, at stake by the very fact that we keep paying attention to all this, thereby, bringing some to doubt whether they can even trust that the Bible is relibale in how it lays out the way in which God redeems his people?
