Negative Argumentation: The Apostle Paul's Method

Dr. Martyn Lloyd-Jones says, "Of course, that's just unscriptural. It's the exact opposite of the Apostle Paul. If you want people to know the truth and to be able to withstand all the heresies and the cults that are round about us at the present time, well then, if you're a teacher worthy of the name, you've got to put up these negatives and deal with them. Of course, it'll be said that you haven't got a nice Christian spirit. You're always negative and you're not one of these loving men who just makes a positive statement of the truth and goes on. Well, all I know is this, that the people who don't indulge in the negatives, it is their people who become the prey to the heresies and the cults because they haven't been forewarned and forearmed and they haven't been prepared for them. Let's follow the method of the great Apostle himself."
