I’ve never done this before, but these two graphics say almost all that needs to be said. Nearly two hours of interaction with the claims and statements of Steve Camp and Janet Mefferd from Monday’s JM show.

Started off reading the Gospel of Thomas, and got through the first 39 “verses.” A bit hard to do “Story time with Grandpa Jimmy” today due to the onset of my annual allergies/asthma/theresatonofstuffintheairnow thing. But we will finish it up later. Then I played a video of interviews with abortion zealots outside the Supreme Court that is simply beyond words.
How we defend the faith, obviously, depends on the essence and shape of the faith itself. Theology matters, and in this case, determines what is a consistent means of defending the faith and what is not.

Started with some brief comments on The Blasphemy Challenge, Brian Flemming, The God Who Wasn’t There, etc., and then went to an eight minute clip of Chuck Smith of Calvary Chapel responding to a phone call on the subject of “Calvinism.” A truly horrific example of complete straw-man argumentation.
