    Watching Van offer these ideas is like the old boxing movies where someone needs to throw the towel in on behalf of Van....His spiritual eyes are swollen shut....he is in diress.....then your post was like the manager throwing in the towel...like this;

    The thing is there is much Scripture showing and proving none can understand, attend, receive a thing from God, nor know the Person of Christ or the Father unless they are born again.

    Then someone comes along and says these things just aren't so, that the lost 'respond to the milk of the Word' (a made up phrase outside of the biblical language)...and that they can understand and receive these things.

    The 1689 confession puts it very clearly here;
    6._____The whole counsel of God concerning all things necessary for his own glory, man's salvation, faith and life, is either expressly set down or necessarily contained in the Holy Scripture: unto which nothing at any time is to be added, whether by new revelation of the Spirit, or traditions of men. Nevertheless, we acknowledge the inward illumination of the Spirit of God to be necessary for the saving understanding of such things as are revealed in the Word, and that there are some circumstances concerning the worship of God, and government of the church, common to human actions and societies, which are to be ordered by the light of nature and Christian prudence, according to the general rules of the Word, which are always to be observed.
    ( 2 Timothy 3:15-17; Galatians 1:8,9; John 6:45; 1 Corinthians 2:9-12; 1 Corinthians 11:13, 14; 1 Corinthians 14:26,40)
