That strange, uncomfortable feeling...

The process of becoming an inane academic elitist who refers to Christians as "lay people" is indeed a Spirit-stripping baptism.

But look at the up-side: you get to dictate to God what His Word actually is. Yes, leave that icky and annoying notion of a "preserved" Word to the "lay people."

The seminary professor who wrote the above-linked post worries that he is "counseling a dead orthodoxy"... Noooooo... (He actually isn't worried about it, he is inoculating himself against the charge. His conscience obviously knows.)

Listen, young seminary student: either you buy into the system of the Beast or you don't. Don't buy and then whine about the consequences.
