[Vision2020] Mere Christianity!

[keely emerinemix]

Ralph, 
 
I thought I'd hear from you on this!
 
I believe that Jesus is in Heaven, having risen from the grave.  You don't.  And so, since some thinking people might take either of us seriously, let's let them decide -- with or without Josh McDowell, whose apologetic works I haven't read.  
 
But that's OK.  He hasn't read mine, either.
