It is their ideas and their theology I am against. I don't know what you mean by "accusatory tone"
and "accusatory questions" transparent in purpose and weak on substance either. Are you sure
you are not reading more into what I write than what is there?
Can you give me an example?. jht
jd: Refer back to your post to Bill. Either you see it or not. I have made my point clearly.
Any further discussion on my part would be argumentative. John --- out !!!
Ok; here's my post to Bill ... Now let me see ... accusatory questions, accusatory tone ...
Nope! I don't see it. jht

The only reason that I even pursued this in the least is because it addresses so succinctly the hypocrisy of your continued putdowns of Christian theologians. You continually, incessantly attack any scholar mentioned by us on TT. Any time another theologian is mentioned you add his name to an ever-growing list of men whom you view as ungodly:
jt: I don't recall every calling them "ungodly" or evaluating their characters in any way Bill. When did I do this?
For example, on 12/22 you wrote, "Understanding God's Word does not come by way of Polyani, Newbegin, C. Baxter Kruger, J.B. Torrance, or Lance," and then on 12-24 you added a couple more names to the list: "How very sad that we can not allow the scriptures to speak and the Holy Spirit to give us understanding without incessantly wading through what Augustine, MacArthur, Polyani, Barth, Baxter Kruger, and Torrance et al think about it giving their words more deference than the Word of God."
jt: Do you interpret the above as calling all of these people "ungodly?" I think you miss my point. Will have to find a better way to communicate.
This goes on over and over and over again, as everyone on TT well knows.You write these nasty things, Judy, but at the same time you will cover up the fact that you too are benefiting from the scholarship of Christian theologians. What makes Dake any more authoritative than any of the rest of these guys? Why is it okay for you to benefit from his insight, when it is so upsetting to you if others benefit from the insight of other theologians?
