Yet that is shaky ground... most prooftext for preservation are just that: prooftext. That lack exegetical basis.

Your son audited, I believe. Not sure how much he was there, but that is where I first met him, yes. I'm jealous you have a copy. I would love to add it to my library.

Editor... not author.

I believe the creation of the universe to be in 1:1... no time amount given for that. I believe the garden of Eden, a place for God to dwell with his people, was the 7 day stuff going on in 1:2ff. It was not creation but preparation. So I would argue that the Bible does not speak of the...

FUNDAMENTALISM!!! Sorry... I'm a bit jaded against this movement, having come out of its indoctrination. More related to the article... this form of calvinism is the outworking of the pursuit of certainty rather than truth w/ love. I struggle with this. But I work w/ more non-cals than...

I wish I had the time (or even ability in Central America) to read it. But alas, I am in thesis research mode. My reading is limited to that, my SS study, and my morning reading (Piper sermons through Romans). Could you pick out some major points? Perhaps we start a new thread opening the...

Maybe I should add that 3rd level stuff are only creedal and mainly disputed in interpretation. I've heard many biblical arguments for young earth creationism and old earth creationism. Neither really affect the way we evangelize. So they are not tier 2 stuff. And thus, the term "false...

Care to explain where he was wrong on the NKJV?

Didn't you say he was wrong on the NKJV?

If it was in the "garbage can" as you say, are we to make of this that the people didn't throw away their trash for 1,500 years??? If that is the case, that is more of a reason not to use it!!!! Methinks it was not garbage though.

In what way is he wrong about the NKJV?

Are they teaching things that we do give a fig about... like the gospel? Phil 1:18 (and context of course!) "whether in pretense or in truth, Christ is proclaimed, and in that I rejoice."

Though it certainly needs fine tuning, I think my view has some merits for this discussion (of the OP, not molinism or modalism). Fundamental issues, gospel issues, are the only thing that I would say demand or are commanded to separate for. That is a hill I am dying on, so to speak. That is...

I've had a textual criticism class w/ Dr. Robinson as my prof... I triply concur with what was said about him: a scholar and a gentlemen. I didn't quite make it to the Byzantine priority view, but through his influence and Dave Black's I have a great respect for it as a legitimate text type...

The shipping would be more than the book for me. I live in Central America. But I think you should read his book. If nothing else, it is a great book to get the "other side's" view. Here is the link to the video... less than 15 minutes: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6SpOBSkIjHQ

I'll use this answer, especially for translation. My church uses the ESV. My school uses the NIV (old and new). My faculty mentor was the NT editor for the ISV. Sometimes, I just read from the Greek (my Hebrew needs more practice). My preferred GNT hasn't been published yet b/c I haven't...

I would put it this way, there are 3 levels of truth and which dictate the answer to this question: 1 fundamental essentials to the faith, 2 doctrines that affect our practice, & 3 doctrines that really only show up in confession. If 3, then no don't separate. If 2, then let your conscience be...

I like how you didn't talk about the relevancy for Calvie apologists like White to call out Caner. For White's (and others) credibility in a Muslim debate, he has to clear the name of Christianity. I do think the tirade has gone on way too long. But a lot of that is because Caner still gets...

As has been pointed out... it is not just Calvies who are up in arms about Caner. It is not just Christians! And the Calvies that are up in arms are apologists who actually debate Muslims. So as not to discredit his position or Christianity, it was necessary for people like James White to...
