Sunday Quote: Edward John Carnell on Apologetics
“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.”
– Edward John Carnell

Truth Bomb Apologetics
Brian,
Great quote! Reminds me of this one:
“God has put enough into the world to make faith in him a most reasonable thing, and he has left enough out to make it impossible to live by sheer reason or observation alone.”
God Bless Bro
