Let me also just rebut a remark that catholicsoldier said, at least by implication, in my regard. What I know of biblical truth is that which has motivated me to work in Gospel Missions (how many times have you had drunken sinners vomited upon you while ministering to them?) and in jails and prisons (how many times have you been caught in a lock down during attempted prison breaks and had their life threatened during a worship service?).
Very touching testamony and I believe you. As you probably know my dad is pastor and has preached (and continues to) in San Quentin in California, (the death row prison) But how do you reconcile this with your other statement:

The "outstanding effects are the deluding of millions of people who think they are right with God, when in fact they are on the road to perdition with Bibles in their hands.
and yet covenantinblood thinks I do you and injustice saying:

You have severely misunderstood and misrepresented Pilgrim
Have I really? I can only judge by the words I read, but Pilgrim, allow me to pose this as a question rather than a conclusion: Is it possible that you have let your love grow cold (Matt 24:12) or that you have wearied in doing good (Gal 6:9) in the years since? Scholatic theology can be cold indeed and cause us to lack compassion to those less savvy. I must ask this, because you seem to have condemned "millions" who have put their faith in Christ simply because their faith is too simple for you, when the gospel is simple in design, even as God openly invites us to delve deeper into the mystery of His Word.
