But because I haven't found it doesn't mean that it isn't there. Sometimes translators will choose different words, and unless you search words or phrases with precision it won't show up. Quote: |
But I was under the impression that the Gospel is only available in the "book of revelation," that only enough information as is necessary to ensure one's "lack of excuse" is available in the book of nature. If the Gospel is written in the clouds and stars, then we don't need the Bible and we don't need preachers.
| You are spot-on my brother! Natural Theology is a sham.
P.S. I haven't made the total changeover from paper to electronic. I still carry about 700-900 volumes in print. Not everything is available in electronic format - yet! | What a handy resource to have. Could you try looking for the similar quote that Augusta said she saw in Modern Reformation? Quote: |
Our Lord has written the promise of the resurrection, not in books alone but in every leaf in spring-time.
