Dave Hunt & TA McMahon on Divine Liturgy

[Eusebios]

While improvising Christian rock with an electronic keyboard and a drum set (heavy on the cymbals).

'lectricity's of the devil !!

 

[Eusebios]

No, I have to agree with Hunt, it's so much better when people are running around, jumping up and down, screaming in tongues, etc.

You whacky Monkey Ninja you!

 

[Eusebios]

That's not fair I thought that we were #1, afterall we are the ones that are the harlot of Babylon and are being led by the anti-christ. What do you guys have that beats that?

we worship paintings.

 

[ProCommunioneFacior]

we worship paintings.

Well, that wouldn't put you at #1, because that would be cancelled out by us worshipping statues.

 

[Servant of the Kingdom]

and paintings... some RC churches have paintings in them!

 

[nicodemus]

This Dave guy can barely get a sentence out.

 

[nicodemus]

Wow, the Liturgy and the Eucharist just got compared to the serpent in the garden!

 

[nicodemus]

What does this guy know? We don't use wafers!

 

[Lyle]

haha... I find some of your comments about Dave Hunt *almost* funny The key word there is almost).. Do you know him personally?

 

[nicodemus]

Good thing the Protestant church came along to rescue 1,500 years of Christian worship from the heresy of Liturgy

 

[nicodemus]

This guy actually sounds like a Quaker more than anything.

 

[nicodemus]

Theosis my friend, theosis.

 

[Iacobus]

We seem to know him at least as well as he knows us. Of course, that's not saying much.

point to Iacobus!

 

[Lyle]

Personally, how much have you read from him?

 

[Iacobus]

Personally, how much have you read from him?

About as much as he's read of us. Which is to say, not much.

 

[nicodemus]

Personally, how much have you read from him?

Personally, I've never read anything by him...or even heard of him until I came across this thread. All I've heard was that MP3 on page 1 of this thread. However, I can tell he has zero grasp on Orthodox theology, so I don't really need to read anythihng by him. Although, if you have anything you'd like for me to read, please post a link and I'd be happy to comment on it. I grew up protestant and my entire family and 95% of my friends are, so I don't have anything against protestants. However, this guy clearly has something against the Orthodox and is basing it on hearsay. It sounds like he has no experiential knowledge of it, nor any book knowledge. In a 4 or 5 minute clip, if the best argument you can come up with is derision through cute little catch phrases like "bells and smells" and sports analogies, that doesn't exactly come off as an intellectually sound and defendable position.

Lyle,

Dave may be a great guy in person, but he is well known by knowlegable Catholcs to misrepresent their faith and practice. Do a search for 'A Woman rides the Beast' here at CF, paying particular attention to posts by Wolseley. Wolseley has in fact written a manuscript that will hopefully be published that refutes Daves lie's and propaganda. After listening to his 'facts' on the Liturgy, the History of the Church and the Scriptures I am more convinced than ever that he is not a man to be trusted when he speaks of things pertaining to our Salvation.

Edit: Now that I think of it, Wols is refuting an earlier book that Dave is inspired by. Much of the anti-Catholicism is common between them.

 

[Oblio]

Personally, how much have you read from him?

I listen to his 'show' every Saturday night. I would guess I have heard 15-20 hours of his 'Searching the Scriptures'.

 

[Iacobus]

Hi Lyle

I apologize for being flip about Dave Hunt. I can see that you must like him. When I was still a protestant, I'm pretty sure I had a book by him, but even then it was not something that impressed me a lot. Like Oblio says, our point of view is that Mr. Hunt is speaking about us when he knows very little about us, and is not speaking very nicely at that. It makes us sad, and a little bit mad.

But like Nicodemus says, if you think there is something valuable we should look at, give us the link, and we'll take a look and talk about it.
