These were our most fundamental commitments. The Bible became atomized, broken up into separate little bits of doctrine which could be codified into law. Advocates of the newspeak religion hate law and love ambiguity. To liberals the enemy is common sense, clarity, and objectivity itself. Clever objections are raised to the New Testament doctrine of law under Christ.
Truth has nothing to fear from questions.
Advocates of error can never answer questions. Investigation will trip them up for the same reason the liar must always remember what he said lest he contradict himself, whereas enlightened lovers of truth are able to answer any question even disingenuous ones. If you cannot answer questions and be consistent, you need to re-think your position. But they lack the manhood to engage qualified dissenters in free and open discussion. Their positions cannot stand investigation for the same reason light hates darkness.
