Comments on: Debating Like Jesus: Keeping the Gospel Central http://christcentred.org/2008/05/10/debating-like-jesus-keeping-the-gospel-central/ Helping Ordinary People Keep Christ Central Thu, 09 Jul 2009 05:35:14 +0000 http://wordpress.com/ hourly 1 By: Tim Wilson http://christcentred.org/2008/05/10/debating-like-jesus-keeping-the-gospel-central/#comment-100 Tim Wilson Sun, 11 May 2008 07:40:30 +0000 http://christcentred.wordpress.com/?p=78#comment-100 Thanks for your link Clark. It is a worrying state of affairs. I always remember a speaker at a missions conference telling us how a student ran up to him with delight saying: "I've had an argument with a friend" "Oh dear," the speaker replied. "Oh don't worry I won the argument!" the student assured. "But have you lost the friend?" Unfortunately that argumentative attitude isn't just in immature students like me! The blogosphere is full of it. I'll be keeping an eye on your blog and look forward to hearing your comments in the future. Thanks for your link Clark.

“Oh dear,” the speaker replied.

“But have you lost the friend?”

Unfortunately that argumentative attitude isn’t just in immature students like me! The blogosphere is full of it.

I’ll be keeping an eye on your blog and look forward to hearing your comments in the future.

The sub-text under my own blog title reads "God honoring, Christ centered." I believe the gospel message is the central theme running throughout the entire Bible, and I'm right onboard with your notions about debate. I feel some Chrsitians have lost their purpose, and try to debate in such a way that the opponent is totally annihalated. My blog is found at http://themasterstable.wordpress.com and I look forward to reading more of yours. I ran across you site just now for the first time, and I love it!
