You are correct: you ...Thank you, dear thesaxonhus. You are correct: you are smarter than me on many issues. I also thank the Lord that, in His mercy, He has forgiven me for my attitude toward Dr. Pretlove, and that he has long ago, restored the fellowship between the good Professor and myself. He is a dear, precious friend.<BR/>All glory to God!<BR/>Amen.Creth D Hopkinshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16146020827516525220noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-626665781639645216.post-12795392840803319602008-08-28T07:42:00.000-07:002008-08-28T07:42:00.000-07:00Brother, while I have heard your testimony on this...Brother, while I have heard your testimony on this matter from your very lips, I thoroughly enjoyed reading it in print. Thank you for being humble enough to publish it.<BR/><BR/>My "coming to the doctrines of grace" differs from yours in at least 3 points:<BR/><BR/>1. It was a gradual coming without the intense time of prayer, fasting, and study found in your experience.<BR/><BR/>2. I thoroughly enjoyed Dr. Pretlove from day 1, not holding any prejudice against him or his native home! I could listen to that man all day long. I especially loved the way he pronounced words such as "schedule" and "controversy". <BR/><BR/>3. I was "smarter" than you in the sense that, while I liked Dr. Pretlove but disagreed with what he taught theologically, I knew better than try to engage him in debate, especially over the Scriptures!!!<BR/><BR/>Praise the Lord, dear brother, for His work in bringing us to these teachings of Scriptures!TheSaxonHushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02594072216562518575noreply@blogger.com
