Debate Tricks

[JM]

Dr. White is discussing his interaction with an Arminian that maybe helpful in spotting debate tricks.

Listen here.

Yours in the Lord,

I doubt you'll get too many to get past the first five minutes. Which is too bad.

Was the program about the song about John Piper the one you meant to link to? I listened to the whole program and can see the last part concerning the subject that you started this thread about but it wasn't clear.

jm,

I listened to half of it but it seemed to be going nowhere but to affirm Dr White's Reformed presuppositions in opposition to the inaudible lyrics in a track of trash music of which he then obtained the words and presented them.

This is hardly an interaction with an Arminian from which anyone should be able to spot debate tricks. To me it sounded more like another reason for White to trash Arminianism.

But it was not a level playing field of discussion.

It was awesome.

It was awesome.

That sounds like myopia to me. It was poorly produced (I'm a former radio producer) and Dr White was unable to make it more than a one way conversation in the half I listened to - the one way was his way. I wouldn't recommend it to anyone wanting a careful analysis of what was stated in the song.

While Dr White raised some legitimate issues, it really was a James White rant, forcing Reformed theology down our throats.

And you call that awesome? That's redefining the meaning of 'awesome'.

You didn't address the issues I raised.

It was forced down your throat? That's even better.

jk.

jk.

Can't you do better than a one-liner with no meaning?

Being forced down my throat was needed when I was 6 months old, but for adults I expect better than what James White gave.

He said JK, that means just kidding.

Don't forget to answer my two questions on the thread I made for us to discuss the questions you never answered

And I'll say again, niggling me about it does not work.
