Sad that so much of FG's theology seems to be based on what is NOT found in scripture, rather than what is. It's called an argument from silence, which is an inherently weak argument. Not all theological understanding is summed up in nice neat little one-line verses. Some theological understandings must be mined, dug out of the Scriptures, like precious jewels, which are not found strewn about in a concrete parking lot, but are found underground, and must be freed from their surrounding matrix with effort, and labor. Just because one doesn't see something, doesn't mean it isn't there. And with theological truths, unless and until the Holy Spirit opens one's eyes, it won't be evident to them. To claim that what one doesn't see doesn't exist, is folly. There are depths of meaning and teaching in God's Word that have not been seen yet. There is depth to God's Word that we have not even glimpsed, or dreamed of. To demand that all truth must be reduced to neat little verses is to cheapen God's Word to soundbites. The Truths are there, whether one sees them or not.
Well look at that...NO scripture what-so-ever!
