The wise search the Scriptures with great diligence to see if what they have been taught is true. (Acts 17) A Christian is by definition a lover of the truth, for He is the way and the Truth. Christians are to worship in spirit and Truth. Let us never be like those described in Isaiah 30:8-11: “And now, go, write it before them on a tablet and inscribe it in a book, that it may be for the time to come as a witness forever. For they are a rebellious people, lying children, children unwilling to hear the instruction of the Lord; who say to the seers, “Do not see,” and to the prophets, “Do not prophesy to us what is right; speak to us smooth things,prophesy illusions,leave the way, turn aside from the path,let us hear no more about the Holy One of Israel.”

“There is a way which seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death.” (Proverbs 14:12)

His name is spelled Francisco De Osuna. His Third Alphabet, a major influence on Teresa of Avila, is available in English for those who wish to read it and see if it contains the Islamic heresies the essayist claims:

Third Spiritual Alphabet

BTW, he fought under Pedro Navarro against the Muslims to capture Tripoli for Spain before entering the religious life.
