In recent times, humanity has embraced natural rather than spiritual truth. Biblical Systematics takes a journey through the Bible and shows that God's truth is the most logical answer in the universe. F. Leroy Forlines presents here one of the strongest defenses for spiritual truth ever written.
Logos Bible Software significantly improves the value of any resource by enabling you to instantly and efficiently find what you’re looking for.

“I believe the answer is found in looking at repentance and faith as one condition because both are presented in the Scripture as the condition of salvation. They both speak of the same experience.” (Page 200)
“The four basic values are holiness, love, wisdom, and ideals. Man is a value oriented person.” (Page 6)
“It is a self-evident truth that a book that would be a Divine revelation would be indestructible. The fact that the Bible has withstood up to this point means that it passes this test in the only way it could. From this standpoint, the Bible is safe for believing as a Divine revelation.” (Page 83)
“The four basic relationships are: (1) Man’s relationship with God. (2) Man’s relationship with other people. (3) Man’s relationship with the created order. (4) Man’s relationship with himself. Man is a relationship creature.” (Page 6)
“His miracles attest to the fact that His Divine nature did not set aside omnipotence. It is a mistake, as some do, to have His miracles and His whole life lived out in the strength of the Holy Spirit in the same manner that the Holy Spirit works in us. If the miracles of Christ had been performed solely in the power of the Holy Spirit, they would not attest to His deity (Acts 2:22). A view that places the total success of Jesus’ life on dependence upon the Holy Spirit would have a dormant Divine nature during His life on earth. The evidence is too strong to the contrary for such a view to be taken seriously. I am not denying that He had a relationship to the Holy Spirit, but I am saying that much of what He did reflected the action of His Divine nature.” (Page 142)
