Not one firm conviction
E. Mulcock: In perusing Lloyd Geering’s half-page answer to your question, “What is a Christian?” I looked in vain for one firm conviction. Like all of us, he is entitled to his opinions; but I am amazed that such a poor lost soul, overcome by doubts, should have been a Christian minister and head of a theological college. Archaeology, fulfilled prophecy and answered prayer confirm belief in a creator whose co-equal son took on human flesh and whose birth, death and resurrection were not only very well attested historically; but also fulfilled Bible-prophecy to the letter. He taught from the inspired Scriptures, quoted them often and assured us that all would be fulfilled. He promised to return to establish His kingdom at a time when all flesh was in danger of being destroyed. How can one be a true Christian without profound belief in our creator, His inspired word and His coming kingdom, and without striving to follow His teachings? '
