Though this is a little off topic I thought I would share this with my Brothers and sisters in Christ
Now let me say right up front - their is no controversy intended; I use the very things he speaks of when I study in fact i emphasized in bold the part where he attest there is nothing wrong with those things, in fact I believe they help provide depth to our understanding; I just felt this was too good not to share
“The divinity of the Son of God is not
proved merely in proportions. I think that he who believes in the divinity of
Christ has all history, etymology, and philosophy on his side. My dependence is not
founded upon the construction of a phrase or the mood and tense of a verb, and
yet we have nothing to fear from that side. I rely upon His moral reach and
spiritual compass. When He touched my soul into life, I did not call for a Greek
grammar, Hebrew lexicon, or volumes of encyclopedias, to find how the thing
stood. I believe because ‘once I was blind, and now I see.’ The heart is
sometimes a better interpreter than the understanding. What better proof do I
want? ‘He has redeemed my life from destruction.’ ” Joseph Parker
