A genuinely persuasive argument does not merely tell you that you are wrong about everything. It doesn't just beat on you from the outside.

A faith that can only exist in the light of victory and certainty is one which really affirms the self while pretending to affirm Christ, for it only follows Jesus in the belief that Jesus has conquered death.
