I cannot parse the last sentence. What does concluded in unbelief mean? I
think we agree here but I can't tell. So I will repeat myself differently.
What I am saying is that we are not to change the message just because
others distort it. If the Gospel is truly the good news there is no need to
sweeten or oversell it and we run the danger of tickling people's ears in
the process.
