You fault me for siting the same web site called "www.infidel.org" twice but you use it to verify some confession of some St. who-ever. But Brian , if there were ever a Christian apologist especially one from the 2nd century , Justin Martyr would be your fellow in Christ ... it is in his time and with other contemporaries that the greatest follow-up testimony and defense for the revealed word for Christ against the pagan's man-made morality & philosophy are fought. He was a good man I think , and in the face of much harrassment from the various Greeks and Roman schools of Philosophy he made a great stand in defending your faith , and also against the rigidity of the Hebrew thinkers of his day . A very credible witness to the second century church , he stood firm as a witness for the Christ and one of Christianity's great evangleical apologists until his death . I'm surprised at you for having no knowledge of him ...he is one of the great early conversions of a pagan philosopher , that unable to get thru philosophy comes to know in his soul he has found the answer by the revealed word of Christ and that God can only be known thru faith in him and the Holy Ghost . It is in Justin Martyr that you find the earliest strongly centered understanding that it is not possible to come to know god thru "mere" ( a word you love so much ) abstract human constructs of Philosophy , but by the revealed word of God. Coming from the prophets (Jewish) and materializing in the flesh and life of Jesus (also Jewish) . It is with Justin Martyr you find the unique specialness concisely addressed of that divinely inspired uniqueness that separates Christianity from the pagan man-made beliefs in all it's glory . The basis of most of all your apologies brian , are very nearly mrroring those of this very early Justin Martyr's . It's a very real blessing you/we have many of his writings and discussions preserved intact . (when you are having a good day ) ;-)
