    So I know who Mc Oxley is, but who is this other person, and he is qualified to take the side of the Judeo-Christian Canon how?

      Qualified?! Who said he was qualified?

        How is anyone qualified is the real question.

          Hm. That’s not what you asked.

          So, what’s the answer?

            The answer is that I read the bio, and it seems Matt is debating yet another Mohler clone, so it should be quite the pretentious snoozer. Close enough answer? LOL

            Your question: “How is anyone qualified?”

            Your answer: “Matt is debating yet another Mohler clone.”

            That doesn’t make sense as an answer to your [second] question. Are you following the conversation?

            My vote is “no” – he isn’t following the conversation. Which makes me wonder, since he brought it up…

            Yeah he asks, “who is this other person” even though he says, “I read the bio.” Next he asks, “he is qualified to take the side of the Judeo-Christian Canon how?” (whatever that’s supposed to mean) when what he *really* meant was, “How is anyone qualified ?” He implies that people are clones of the presidents of the schools they attend (I must have severe multiple personality disorder) then complains about Matt Oxley’s debates being pretentious snoozers. To top it all off he gives a supposed answer to his question that isn’t an answer to his question at all.

            Not the brightest troll I’ve met. Must be a Downey-Phipps clone.

            Google? Or maybe an old FB post? My my, aren’t we an IT genius… Who would have ever thought? But you went in the wrong direction with that misfire…

            You would have had much better ammunition with this: http://www.wired.com/culture/lifestyle/news/2000/05/35931

            Which would have made me re-affirm my stand on the BF&M 2000, and again renounce Nashville, which breaks my heart, and would have cut the conversation short when I would be put on the spot, exposing my bitterness.

            Next time, do a better homework job before you take on the best. 🙂

            But I will give you credit, you did play along a lot better than most, maybe if you had more back-story, you would have had a better chance. Ask Matt for some pointers if you are still interested.

            (If you want a tip, go after Matt from the “P” in TULIP, and tell him that just because he thinks he has left, does not mean that the LORD has lost the ability to keep them from getting plucked from Him. Nothing irks him more then the Sovereignty of God.)

            Well I was still floundering on the second statement, so I was unaware we were going back to the first. So lets scroll up. I guess my answer would be that Matt must have assumed he was qualified if he is going to debate him.

            So is that where I missed? HaHa…

            I apologize. I didn’t send the troll, the troll came of his own volition.

            Arminian trolls.

    Don’t underestimate Oxley! He is a fierce fighter. He will let you back him into a corner and just when you think you have got him, he will land an uppercut. Protect your ears…

    Should be a lively contest!

      Thanks Billy, I hope so.

    Hope the debate is informative for both sides. Heard of Matt and Chris through CARM, and am familiar with some of Chris’ arguments through UP, seems like a pretty knowledgeable guy.

      Oh goodness, I haven’t been around CARM in many years (I was banned in 2006 when I was trying to figure out where I stood with god and the Bible). When and where was my name brought up?
