  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

What is this paper for?
...fun...

Actually, two reasons. One Sunday afternoon, I listened to a friend explain a theory about the four horsemen and dropped an element of the cosmic temple theory of Genesis to him and the priestly imagery present in Ezekiel 28. He scoffed and said his ride was waiting for him. I decided the only way he'd hear me out is if I wrote it out.

The rub mentioned in the post you quoted was whether I'm arguing in favour of the Framework Hypothesis of Dr. Meredith Kline or the Functional Creation of Dr. John Walton. I'm thinking it's the Framework Hypothesis, but I'm also thinking there's an incredible amount of overlap (perhaps that the brand of Functional Creation posited by Dr. Walton is a subset of Dr. Kline's Framework hypothesis). Furthermore, it could be simply my limited understanding of both, but my impression thus far is that neither are exclusively incompatible with the theories of material creation, e.g. creation ex nihilo or ex materia.

Anyway, I've got a mountain of reading before that hill is gained, but there are too many Edenic allusions in the language surrounding the tabernacle and temple and the priestly order for me to ignore.

Second, I'm hoping one of these papers will pay off in some way in the future.

You are an impressive man, Hawthorne. And I am now picturing you in real life as the guy in your avatar after reading this post. A scholar hard at work.

It's a shame your friend wouldn't give you a fair hearing.
Wow, it sounds like you are writing a dissertation! Interesting...I am not familiar with either of those ideas of creation though I m pretty certain they were touched on briefly in my systematic classes. You and I have different ideas of fun.
I hope your paper pays off long term.

Overnighter no longer. Transferring to a different part of the store on a different shift.

I do not blame you one bit on that. Good for you!

What's the following/friend thing on CF is about? It doesn't seem to make much of a difference?
Old feature that used to have more functionality. It's pointless now.
