I’d be happy to have more personal correspondence with you on this if you use the email icon under “About David Murray.”

However, I think I’m more on the side of your own approach, David. Fundamentally similar message with some tweaks.

But unless Paul was wrong in Romans 1, the questions will never cease completely because the knowledge of God cannot be erased from the human soul.

People are the same in all generations, though there are unique challenges that each generation faces people are till fundamentally the same. and their need is the same. It is a faithful proclamation of the law and the gospel that, when accompanied by the power of the Spirit, teaches men both what they need and what they answer to their true need is.
