I see they're talking about me on the CWU again. Since I am denied the normal method of responding, I guess I'll just make use of the ol' blog here to say my bit.

In response to a question about why some people on the CWU are ostensibly praying for me, one CWU user had this to say:

I've had numerous debates with him in the past, trying my absolute best to show him the Whole Truth of God's Word.

Which is odd, since the user in question -- being a "sola scriptura" Christian -- does not himself subscribe to "the Whole Truth of God's Word." If he did, he wouldn't be a "sola scriptura" Christian.

But it is futile, he's set in his ways.

Aren't we all, though? The user in question, the one who said this, is himself set in his ways, caught up in erroneous thinking of his own. He believes in the fixity of kinds (which is not a Biblically viable concept), believes in a Young Earth (which is an anti-Incarnational belief), and believes in Luther's five solas (which are unbiblical, man-made traditions).

For example: even when presented with evidence -- solid evidence -- for the errancy of sola scriptura, he remains trapped in his trusting that false doctrine. Likewise, after I've time and again demolished his arguments for a young Earth, he remains trapped in thinking that the Earth is less than 10,000 years old.

Who, then, is actually set in his ways?

Basically, he believes that the Genesis account is purely a man-made myth that was adopted, and made use of by the Holy Spirit.

Guilty as charged -- I believe that Genesis 1-11 is basically a series of recorded oral traditions, early attempts at theodicy, and ancient retrojective "science" that attempts to explain, absent the ability to understand many phenomena of the world and cosmos, the origin of life and the world through agrarian metaphor and other poetic devices.

But equally, I believe that the Spirit moved through those early authors and recorders of oral tradition to inspire a coherent, logical, truthful, and inerrant theological message of faith in the text, which intends to teach us about the creatorship of God, His punishment of sin and promise of salvation, and His personal and present participation in the lives of His faithful.

And of course, it all points toward Christ. And Moses also. But principally Christ.

He believes that Sin and Death have always existed (in affect making Jesus' victory over them void)...

I believe that death has always existed, not Sin. I'd appreciate it if the user would kindly augment or retract this statement, as it is currently a libel against me.

Sin arose when man first disobeyed God, which I suspect occurred shortly after the first homo sapiens emerged onto the scene. As such, Jesus' victory over sin is secured. We can know now that Jesus' victory is not over physical death, but over eternal death; were Jesus' victory merely over physical death, would not those who profess to be "saved" in Christ be able to avoid physically dying?

...that the Flood was greatly exagerated...

Actually, I'm even guiltier than this, but do see above for an explanation as to why.

...that Jonah never existed...

Natch. But Jonah doesn't need to have been a literal figure for the story of his ministry to be both humourous (let's face it: Jonah is a funny character, especially when God elects not to destroy the city) and meaningful. Jonah's story is probably a parable...but we know that parables still play a role in revelation.

...and that the majority of "unscientific" Acts of God in the Old Testament (even the ones Jesus referred to) never really happened, but were used purely as an illustration

Of this, I'm partially guilty, in that I think Jesus spoke to the knowledge of the people as it was, in their day, as they knew it. That's not to say that Jesus lacked the capacity to overturn that knowledge...but I don't think that was the point. Being Lord, He doubtless knew that we'd discover things on our own in due season, and I suspect that it was more important to impart the theological truths, the truths of faith, rather than give dissertations on just exactly where the mustard seed fits into the ordered list of seeds according to size.
