Still, I’ll let those words slide for now, provided you don’t repeat them. But beware the Spirit of God, who sees through polished language and examines the heart. I’ve said this to discourage you from accusing us of being rigid or overly assertive. Your approach suggests you harbor the spirit of Lucian or some Epicurean who doesn’t believe in God and mocks those who do. Let us be assertive, passionate about truth, and unashamed of it. You can keep favoring your Skeptics and Academics—until Christ calls you to something greater.

The Holy Spirit is no Skeptic. He hasn’t written vague opinions on our hearts, but firm, life-rooted truths—truths more certain than anything we’ve experienced.

Nang hian, thil danglamah chhuah chhuah tawh loh. Nang hian Christian doctrine zawt eng emaw chu essential an ti, eng emaw chu ni lo; eng emaw chu hidden, eng emaw chu revealed an ti. Nang hian mi dang duh tawh loh chhuah chhuah a ni em, rhetorical flair i duh tawh loh chhuah chhuah a ni em? Paul thianhriatna —Romans 11:33) — leh Isaiah thianhriatna —Isaiah 40:13)-i dah a ni.
