He made it disappear and also tried to get any evidence for it removed from the FFF site too.

Somebody went over to Pyro after Rev. Jass’ recent rant about Mark Driscoll and brought it up.

Frank Turk got pretty belligerent about it, if I recall correctly.

I sort of missed that whole episode. Did he ever apologize or say he was wrong in putting that satire site up or did he just remove it without comment?

Phil Johnson…

what a joke.

There’s only two words that apply to him and his hypocrisy:

Hugh Jass.

People tried to bring that up on the Pyro site and they got banned and their comments deleted.

Seems no one is allowed to point out the truth when it applies to the self-appointed, self-important magisterium.

I love irony and you, Brendt, have given us some beautiful examples of it. Let me try.

Irony is LHT supposing that they are actually lighting the way for anyone.

You are right. That’s not irony as much as it is comedy and tragedy.

Put another way, much of what I have a problem with regarding the ADMs is that things start as extra-biblical, but often wander into anti-biblical territory, and perhaps sometimes by sheer accident.

This statement plants itself firmly and irrevocably in anti-biblical territory from the start.

But that’s just it, Rick. I don’t see this as ironic.

Irony is Phil Johnson using something that he knows is false to promote a greater truth.

Irony is John MacArthur calling for gentility in speech in an article called “The Rape of…”

Irony is Mike Ratliff griping about someone allegedly calling him unsaved and then applauding Ken Silva when he does the same thing on Mike’s blog.

Irony is being simultaneously labeled as an “enemy of the cross” and being told that you are the one spewing hate.

Irony is insisting that another blogger always “name names” and then allowing someone to contribute to your blog as “Admin”.

But this is not ironic. This is a blatant statement against the very foundation of Christianity.

I understood the irony. Sorta like the irony when Ingrid ranted on and on about how “these people” were so deceived and how horrible they were, only to close her rant suggesting that God Himself was deceiving them.

There you have it:

Convoluted squared.

Not that semi-derailment is all that uncommon in the meta here, but you guys are going after the smaller issue (the weakness of LHT).

The final quote that I cite doesn’t require careful analysis. Nor is this an issue of differing opinions on how to interpret Scripture.

The “admin” at Slice is openly celebrating something that is specifically in contradiction to the very basics of the Christian faith.

You know, I had a little extra time today…*yawn*…and I was going to do some…*yawn*…reading. I thought I would start with LH…nevermind. I’m too tired.

I’m not taking out the trash either.
