Dear Friends,

Dave U (a Plebeian like myself; whoops Straw is now a Newbie <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/blush.gif" alt="" /> ) has a very interesting website, I suggest that everyone has a good look. I noticed that under 'Christian Literature' he had some stuff by BB Warfield and in particular an article titled: "Mysticism and Christianity" - the last stanza applying most signifantly to this thread...(enjoy the rest)

Quote
We may be mystic or we may be Christians. We cannot be both. And the pretention of being both usuallly merely veils defection from Christianity. Mysticism baptized with the name Christianity is not thereby made Christianity. A rose by any other name will smell as sweet. But it does not follow that whatever we choose to call a rose will possess the rose's fragrance.
