Mystics or Christians....But Not Both
“We may be mystics, or we may be Christians. We cannot be both. And the pretension of being both usually merely veils defection from Christianity.

But it does not follow that whatever we choose to call a rose will possess the rose’s fragrance.” - Benjamin B. Warfield (Read entire paper here)
