Welcome Jason to the Moderating Team!

Amillenialism.

The proper historic view in the reformed church, not this preterist jesuit counter reformation stuff.

Gotta love those Catholics!!! Preterism and Molinism.

for our Catholic brethern... (Where's Cadet to bask in the glow?)

Thanks again everyone. Can I just assure anyone who is concerned that my reign of terror moderting duties will be carried out in an entirely arbitrary impartial and as even handed as possible manner. People have everything nothing to worry about.

And hey, disagreeing with you is not the same as not knowing anything, inspite of what some people thing.

jason is evolving into a rhino? Ahhhhh!

[Dee Dee Warren]

He should get a rhino avatar.

[Faramir]

And let's not forget One Bad Pig who will be his co-moderator. So it looks like we have one OEC mod, Jason, one YEC mod, One Bad Pig, and Gray Pilgrim to oversee who is YEC but perhaps Faramir if GP can bribe him who I guess is OEC. This is such a non-issue to me I am not sure what Faramir is.... I think though he may be YEC, or on the fence. We talked about this before in relation to preterism.

Ahhhhhh!!!!! That is the more important question. Jason, what is your eschatological view?

Just to clarify (or possibly muddle) until recently I was OEC but uncertain. I'm currently leaning very heavily toward framework, which is silent on the age of the earth. I am even considering a combination of framework/YEC.

But like Dee Dee said, it is such a non-issue that I have not done any in depth study, to shore up my position (although I plan to when I have less pressing issues).

[Dee Dee Warren]

I think I am strongly leaning towards a combo of framework/YEC.

[Faramir]

I think I am strongly leaning towards a combo of framework/YEC.

Well my I am only considering the YEC part. Leaning heavily toward the framework part.

But now that I am leaning toward framework, I have held every major cosmological position (TE for a very brief time )

Jason, that's what I like about you--and I think it will make you a good moderator.

I though Xavier was an OEC for some reason, too.

In any case, jason seems to keep his cool pretty well. As for science knowledge, moderating doesn't really require knowledge of the forum's material as long as the purpose is to keep the peace. Especially here at TWeb: the only things that seem to get moderated are flames and posting in the wrong forums.

I posted up an avatar in the Rec room since you requested ideas, but if you're not into Greek mythology, jason, maybe it isn't your thing.

Bravo jason and One Bad Pig; best of luck.

I hang out in those forums a fair bit, and hope to engage in the capacity of loyal opposition. I think moderation generally is a good idea, and am glad to see a couple of people step up to take it on. Well done.

I hope you'll both also engage topics in the forum as regular posters from time to time. With two new moderators, there is ample scope to let another moderator arbitrate if there are any issues.

Best wishes -- Sylas

Oh I didn't mean to imply he was the only OEC out of our whole moderating team. He is our first OEC science moderator, though technically perhaps Faramir was.

[OneFollowingHim]

I think rhino evolution is impossible to defend from a YEC viewpoint. Let's see how long it takes for jason to evolve into one.

[markporter]

*sigh* Everyone I know is a mod. Xavier came here after me, now he's a mod. Johnny was here with me, now he's a mod. DMG is now a mod. Things are so lonely down here where the non-mod TWebbers congregate

Congrats jason

Edit: For any of you with a bad overdose of seriousness, this post was meant to be lighthearted, not actually complaining of anything. I'm perfectly happy being one of the "little people"

Cheer up bro....I'm still down here with ya
