George Whitfield: Dear Mr. Wesley I would must enjoy co-authoring this book with you but this title sir! Really. "The crushing defeat of Calvinism by the Wesleyan autonomous free will."
"Someday, my good chap, man will develop a system, whereby he may write something down and be able to communicate that written thought to literally thousands of people at the same time."
"Really, Smith-smythe-smith, these dreams of yours make my mind go all bloggy."
After 40 grueling days of creative exegesis and hundreds of desperate translation attempts, the Arminian Bible Committee of 1749 was still unable to come up with an acceptable rendering of John 6:44.
"No one can come to Me unless the Father who sent Me draws him; and I will raise him up on the last day." NASB
But seriously, Wolgang. "Rock me Amadeus" sounds a trifle self-absorbed for the 18th century. Why don't you write down that tune you composed for Figaro's wedding...
John Piper: Rick, I have a great idea for an April fools joke. Let's get out of this Victorian garb and hold a press conference. I will tell everyone that you are doctrinal & sound...
Let's try it again...

ReplyDeleteSo Sir Phillip, what do you think of this Jonathan Edwards fellow? "Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God", what absolute nonsense!
ReplyDeleteNo, he will be long forgotten in 25 years, I wager.

ReplyDelete@truthinator: That is hilarious. Somehow, not that far-fetched.
ReplyDeleteKeep thinking. We simply must come up for a way to explain how Columbus sailed to the new world with a copy of the 1611 KJV.
