Not the response I was hoping for….but what can you expect from a “wise guy?” Where will the “Lurker” next appear? Only those elected to be a shadow will know!

Pastor Johnson,
Just one slight correction. My friend Chris did not bring this matter up. What say ye “Lurker?” Is it funny now?

Ok, been away…

Chris, obviously you don’t see it. Please note that you are the one bringing our disagreement up. If there is no profit in rehashing it, why bring it up at all?

As to the individuals concerned, it isn’t just a matter of citing men with whom ‘we don’t agree on everything’. The men I cite are not blasphemers. We would agree far more than we would disagree. And it isn’t simply citation. Citation is referring to someone as a source. Making the objectionable figure the focus of appreciative evaluation is quite another thing.

And there are some men who are so beyond the pale they should simply be shunned.

Jesus Christ is the standard, and those who blaspheme him deserve nothing but censure and condemnation.

Maranatha!

The comment thread here is entertaining.

Well, the standard seems to be what you think is or is not over the line. We both cited men with whom we don’t agree on everything as “hostile witnesses” against movements or ideas to which we’re opposed. You say yours is appropriate and mine was overtly inappropriate. You’re the standard, it seems.

We’re not going to agree on this. There’s really no profit to rehashing it.

Your comment is a little cryptic, Chris, but it tends to make me think that you don’t see the difference yet.

As long as you see it, I’m good.

I should add, if someone were to show me that the men I have linked in this post are blasphemers, I would be embarrassed. I would make an apology and probably remove the links or otherwise retract my commendation.

That is the difference as I see it.
