Though we disagreed sharply we did so charitably. Others made the same observation you have. <BR/><BR/>As for Topartzer's comment at Pulpit Magazine, he is right on target. I have interacted with some men in Phil's camp who are sympathetic to the doctrinal positions of Phil Johnson. They get frustrated with the way Phil goes about debating those who disagree with him. They believe he can be a spiritualized thug, and I agree. <BR/><BR/>Now, I was not around for the article/presentation Phil wrote abut Fundamentalism. By all accounts, however, Phil badly misrepresented historic Fundamentalism. I have read some of this at SI. <BR/><BR/>I also heard that Dr. Doran and Dr. Minnick sought to discuss this with Phil, but Phil declined.<BR/><BR/><BR/>LMLou Martuneachttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08683967904677815711noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7080491.post-71227272039833871012007-06-26T07:12:00.000-05:002007-06-26T07:12:00.000-05:00This comment has been removed by the author.Lou Martuneachttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08683967904677815711noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7080491.post-40356822690306452022007-06-25T22:09:00.000-05:002007-06-25T22:09:00.000-05:00Lou,Though I disagreed with you on some significan...Lou,<BR/><BR/>Though I disagreed with you on some significant points, I really do appreciate the way you carried out your debate with Nate Busenitz last year. From what I can remember (and I hope my memory serves correctly), it was a pretty good model for charitable disagreement.<BR/><BR/>But let's please not toss Phil Johnson in with the history of fundamentalist pugilism. I don't think it would serve anyone well to post some of the quotes from the history of fundamentalism (and we're not talking about ancient history here) that would demonstrate without doubt just how inaccurate that accusation would be.Benhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03665765739805841971noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7080491.post-38454442507677588052007-06-25T21:20:00.000-05:002007-06-25T21:20:00.000-05:00I think Bob Topartzer got it right with this to Jo...I think Bob Topartzer got it right with this to Johnson:<BR/><BR/><I>"It is too bad that the Fundamentalists cannot be as balanced as your “Reformed Baptist” denomination.
