Our friend Dave references<\/a> \u201ca blogger\u201d who answered his question regarding appreciating Piper without having one\u2019s fundamentalist convictions questioned. That blogger, according to Dave, answered the question:<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s his answer: \u201cSo I would answer the question, No.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

He carries on discussing this as if that is all there is to the answer. He never links to the unnamed blogger so that you can read the context and judge for yourself if DMD is representing him fairly (bad netiquette, Dave).<\/p>\n

As you know, it is possible that Dave could be referring to my answer<\/a> given on this site. We don\u2019t know for sure, because the quoted portion above isn\u2019t exactly<\/em> like my answer.<\/p>\n

However,\u00a0 Dave does offer a quote from the comments section that is word for word from my comments:<\/p>\n

And I really think it may be unbelievable because in the comment section that follows, the same man writes, \u201cWell, I am not saying don\u2019t appreciate the good that such men do, although we may debate what is good and what isn\u2019t.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

So \u2026 let\u2019s make these points:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. It really isn\u2019t legitimate to attack another blog without providing links so that readers can evaluate context.<\/li>\n
  2. It has never been my position that it is wrong to use or appreciate the work of men with whom I would not join in ministry partnership with.<\/li>\n
  3. My complaint on this point is that so-called fundamentalist educators, pastors, leaders have been guilty in recent years of unreserved enthusiasm for men with serious ministry flaws. My answer to Dave\u2019s question wasn\u2019t a bare \u201cNo\u201d as he suggests. I gave reasons for it which he conveniently ignores.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    I\u2019d be interested if Dave would have the courtesy to deal with the entire argument, not misrepresent what was said for his own purposes.<\/p>\n
