“You might prove doctrine from the Bible till doomsday, and it would merely convince a people, but would not convert them. You might read the Bible from Genesis to Revelations, and prove every iota that you advance, and that alone would have no converting influence upon the people. Nothing short of a testimony by the power of the Holy Ghost would bring light and knowledge to them -- bring them in their hearts to repentance. Nothing short of that would ever do.” PeopleHeartLightMightInfluenceHolyProveGhostDoctrineRevelationsConvinceRepentanceTestimonyGenesisHoly GhostConvertingDoomsdayLight And Knowledge Book:Journal of Discourses Source: Journal of Discourses

“The heart must be kept tender and pliable; otherwise agnosticism converts to skepticism. In such a case, the value of apologetics is voided, for apologetics is aimed at persuading doubters, not at refuting the defiant. He who demands a kind of proof that the nature of the case renders impossible, is determined that no possible evidence shall convince him.” HeartKindValuesCasesImpossibleDemandEvidenceDeterminedProofConvinceSkepticismAgnosticismDoubtersPersuadingApologetic Author:Edward John Carnell
