cujo006's Rebuttal to JP Holding Re: Jephthah

[BronzeArcher]

Cujo hasn't been here for a week, so I'll check less frequency. I'd better get going on my Sunday school prep! I'm doing a cultural context teasure on ritual purity at the end of May, and my tenative outline for later in the year is

1. Intro: honor-shame and cultural difference
2. Honor-shame cont, limited good
3. Ethnic identity and politics
4. Patronage, metaphors for God, what does it mean to honor God?
5. Political economics: the temple
6. Recap weeks 1-5, workshop on the Markan temple visit*
7. Breather: apologetics, Elisha and bears, misc topics
8. Family values and the people of God
9. "So what?" reflecting on socio-cultural exegesis and the Church
10. "So what?" part 2

I'll try to record the classes when I give them.

Any chance I can host them on TektonTV?

Are you trying to suggest that Americans can understand Canadian accents? o_O

Yes, of course.

[fm93]

So you think Americans can't understand Canadian ac-cents, eh?

Since when has Canada had video technology?

Since when has Canada had video technology?

Since American tourists with video cameras ran away from attacking "bears" which strangely stopped attacking once the tourists threw away their cameras.

[fm93]

Since when has Canada had anything worthwhile?

Besides maple syrup, that is.

I've always liked you, OBP, but I never knew you had such a grasp over Canadian current affairs! I'm so impressed. We still do that and it's a bonding point for our political parties.

I do....

It's just that what they say usually makes no sense.

Yes, of course.

Thank ye much! Viewers will appreciate it.

this site really needs a trollface "UMAD?/UMAD BRO?" for all the people that complain about the use of insults.

I think that saying and others like it promote more posturing than encourage real dialogue.

:that: When the conversation has gone that route, it's best to figuratively shake the dust off one's sandals and move on IMO.

I don't disagree, but "real dialogue" isn't even an option for a looooooooooooooooot of "discussions" with Skeptics.

That's quite laughable by the little girl. She thinks Strobel didn't read my articles? He sure read my Mithra article closely enough to quote (and re-quote in later instances) a specific line in the middle of it.

"Popularity" had nothing to do with it. I doubt Tekton occupied such a position (1-2 most popular) at the time or does even now. Strobel found the site because of my response to Doherty on behalf of one of his books.

Well, that's one line he may have read. Who knows how much is digested by assistants?

It's still not likely Strobel would endorse your insult theology. Neither would Hanegraaf. Heck, neither would you -- none of your outside articles or personal appearances mention it.

Your effort to tar JPH knows no bounds, does it? Have you actually read all of his outside articles, or are you just assuming and hoping no one calls you on it? I've attended personal appearances of JPH twice - and yes, he's mentioned challenge-riposte.
