Preface: This post is from December 28:
Elementary my dear Watson....sheer deduction....if the evangelicals are correct in their definition of who God is....and what He is like....then why do they not act like it...or this God.....really cannot be much of a God at all. It is all logic Watson. This just does not make sense. The words are there in their Holy Scriptures....and they describe in great detail a powerful and sovereign God....infinite in wisdom....who no man could stand before and live....yet the evangelicals....who enjoy a good game of Cricket as much as anyone....or a night at the theater....seem to think Him no more than....the master of the house.....who everyone avoids.....and when he does enter their living quarters.....they listen attentively....until He returns to His own dwelling.....and they give a sigh of relief....that no new responsibilities were assigned.
You see Watson....if there is a literal hell....as the evangelicals always describe when turning in their composition book....and if they literally believed in that literal hell....they could not possibly act as nonchalantly as they are known for! For goodness sakes Watson....their own children could be going to this literal hell....and they do not even seem concerned!
You see this do you not Watson? What if....what if you were told that little Archibald was outside....skating on the ice....that you know is too thin for children to be skating on? Would you not immediately drop everything and run out to safely pull him off the ice? Why don't they run out to pull their children off of the train to hell? Tell me why that is Watson?
No....we must get to the bottom of this! Either their Holy Scriptures are wrong.....or they are wrong! Pass me the Times Watson.....look here....this Spurgeon chap....on the other side of the Thames....in that church....what is the name....Tabernacle....Metropolitan Tabernacle. He's involved in this big scrum...the Downgrade they call it. He's taking the same position Watson....either this is God....or this is a god their own making! Poor Chap....I hear his health is declining over this.
Make a note of this Watson. As soon as we return from Switzerland...to do away with this dastardly Moriarty....I shall go and listen to this Spurgeon chap....and maybe see what makes him tick.
Sherlock Holmes and Charles Spurgeon would both die within the year.....1892....Holmes and Moriarty at the bottom of a chasm on the mountains in Switzerland....Charles Spurgeon resting in the south of France….Holmes to meet the benefactor of his deductive intellect….Spurgeon….the Sovereign giver of grace.
