You then go on to links pertaining to a John Murray? Wrong Murray again?Sorry wrong Murray but it seems Murray's are a particular breed and I guess they attract a particular kind of nutter!
Anyway eventually you get to the correct Andrew Murray, where he was apparently criticized by a Sola Scriptura scholar and cessationist named B.B. Warfield. His review
""A Vice Very Common with Books of This Class" -- B. B. Warfield's "Review" of Andrew Murray's "Spirit of Christ" — The Riddleblog"
looks like drivel to me. Case in point:
....(1) I challenged you to take a look at Acts 16:6-10. Still waiting. Show me how it fits better with "scholarly exegesis" than "authoritative voice". Shouldn't B.B. Warfield have addressed such matters in his shoddy review?
....(2) Shouldn't he have addressed the charge of contradiction I raised in post 151? I wasn't the first one to initiate it. Catholics have been complaining for centuries about it. They have always argued, "If Scripture is your only authority, by what authority do you accept the Bible?"
At points it doesn't look like he understood Andrew Murray in the least. Like I cited:
"You have hidden these things from the wise and learned, and revealed them to little children."
So it wouldn't surprise me that B.B. Warfield was possibly incapable of understanding Andrew Murray.
Probably depends on what you mean. Revival is supposed to be progressively increasing - and since Israel blew it from the start, even Pentecost couldn't fully compensate for the loss. We Gentiles seem to have floundered as much as Israel, if not worse. As a result, Murray was probably well aware that we'd never see quite as much healing as God originally intended.My particular favourite is his view that we should all be completely healthy!

Yes, ideally, pretty much everyone should be healed. (If we could go back to Israel and start all over again, everyone getting things right this time). I fully agree with Murray on that point.
