Afterthought
Puritan Board Senior
Probably a very basic question, but how should we describe personal knowledge of God in an apologetics context if someone objects that a Christian's personal knowledge of God is nothing more than a "burning in the bosom" sort of claim--that is, that pretty much anyone could make such a claim--even those whom we acknowledge are deceived--and that such claims are based on unreliable feelings--even as we admit in the case of those who are deceived? Perhaps we should not even bring it up in an apologetics context? If we do not though, how will the simple Christian respond to questions that go farther than they are able to answer philosophically?
