Good word here Ike. Your comments on plausibility structure help explain what seems a deeply illogical decision to cease believing because of abuse. Abuse is a sin issue...not a doctrine or truth claim issue...yet, as you point out the visible livability of the faith is weakened by abusers. As Paul warns, “God’s name is blasphemed among the Gentiles because of you.” Rom 2:24
Hi Andrew Shepardson... just a small oops in an otherwise fine article. It’s Diane Langberg rather than Diane Langsburg. Thanks... kudos.
