The Second Power in Heaven, Spurgeon on the “Only Real Argument Against the Bible,” and a Question About Time Travel
Welcome back to The Think Institute’s Newsletter. Each Friday, you get one idea from me, one quote from somebody else, and something important to think about. If you enjoy this newsletter, join the more than 10,000 people who watch our YouTube channel. I think you will especially enjoy my recent debates with atheists and agnostics. Go here to watch now.
AN IDEA FROM ME
By the time you get to the New Testament era, there is a school of theology that develops… the Second Power in Heaven, where God is interacting with people, and it’s clear that there is God, and then there’s God. There’s one God, but there’s the Word of the Lord as well. There’s a second Person, even though there’s one God. Read the book of John, and what you discover is that the Second Power in Heaven is Jesus.

A QUOTE FROM SOMEBODY ELSE
The only real argument against the Bible is an unholy life. When a man argues against the Word of God, follow him home, and see if you cannot discover teh reason of his enmity to the Word of the Lord. It lies in some sort of sin.
—Charles Spurgeon
SOMETHING TO THINK ABOUT
If you were to time travel to the Old Testament era and tell Moses, David, and Elijah about Jesus Christ, how do you think they would respond?
Respond within seven days, and I will write you back.
In Christ,
