Without faith no justification. Makes sense to me. No bifurcation there, thankfully!

GJ - I am not sure if the quotation Elizabeth approves is from SP Harrison or Herman Sasse. Anything from Harrison is suspect. I like Elizabeth's summary - well said in a few words.
I was going to use "bifurcation" to describe OJ/SJ, so I am glad she did. Trying to wedge Pietism into the Lutheran Reformation and Romans is failing badly.
I found it amusing to see Jack Kilcrease's incoherent rage described as showing up like a bad penny.
I read the Kilcrease post again for some chuckles. I still wonder how it is that I quote UOJ Enthusiasts endlessly, but they are afraid to quote me verbatim with a citation. Instead, they make dubious claims and false accusations, without any support.
