“LOL – I am not sure what a “falcor” is, but”

Glad you cleared that up, gengwall – I was about to run for the Webster’s to see what I’d been missing about false arguments all my life.

And I understand your disappointment about MacArthur after you’d enjoyed one of his books so well. I had that same feeling about Peterson when The Message came out. His book “A Long Obedience In The Same Direction” was very helpful to me years ago…

““because the Church fathers said so”.”
TL,
Sometimes the Church fathers (and who gave them that allustrious title, anyhow?) get stuck in my craw, too. Why do carry so much weight? Because they’re dead? There are many good theologians today. Why do people think they knew more than we do today? Perhaps, because I didn’t grow up in church, I just don’t have that relationship with the traditions and church histories.
