Update to a post


Update to this post just below:

I wrote it just after reading Manata lecture, in his bullying way, somebody about how his, Manata's, end-times views are correct. He threw in the obligatory "that's an assertion, not an argument" and accusation of using fallacious reasoning and being an idiot for it and all the rest one expects from that little internet school made up of those types (usually former or current theonomists, among other things). If you want some fun tune in to some of Manata's mp3 debates and listen to him get bogged down with his approach against his opponent. Not that his opponents have the better argument, but that what seems free-flowing in print runs in to the usual dead ends "intellect-alone" approaches run into when peformed in real life.

And I'd just read Hays write a bizarre response to Vincent Cheung. Bizarre because his tone and attitude seemed juvenile and nasty, and Cheung is, if anything, a rather kind gentleman when you approach him. I don't have a dog in the "scripturalism" fight, but to pound Vincent Cheung the way the theonomists Hays and Manata do is just off-the-mark.

I have no clue who you are, but I do not think my "eschatology" is certain. I'm quite sure I could be wrong.

At any rate, I find the posts here odd. Reading what you write, and then reading you call me a "bully" (etc) is pretty good stuff.

Is this a satire blog?

Why should you have a clue who I am? What does that matter? You write all over the internet, are only people who you know supposed to be reading it?

You represent a type, that's why I invoke your name.

Plus, I am the person who introduced the subject of Vincent Cheung over at Triablogue after an email exchange with him (I wanted some outside opinion on Cheung to get a sense of what he was about because I felt there was something perhaps 'off' in his approach, but I couldn't identify it, so I put the question to the Triablogue crew. Then they all started mocking Cheung and so on. Since Cheung didn't ask to be put in that environment I felt kind of bad about it. Anyway, I learned about the Clark vs. van Tillains nonsense in the process...)
