The Southern Baptist Convention, Ergun Caner, and 1 John 5:1

But not quite in that order, thankfully. A lengthy call took up most of the program, focused upon the Caner situation and the need for simple integrity in being honest about what you say in the field of apologetics. A caller at the end shifted the topic to 1 John 5:1. I’m a bit surprised at the responses I have received to the discussion of this text. There seems to be some very strong resistance to any concept of God being the one who raises dead sinners to life. Must have saving faith within the sphere of human capacity, or so it seems. I sure am glad I’ve joined the Lazarus club: those who are very thankful the Son of God is not dependent upon human cooperation to bring about the resurrection of dead sinners!
