Do the Christian News Scribblers Have Any Integrity?
David Becker's Illuminating Note


 From David Becker!
Below is some further reaction from Jackson to Hale.  I'm leaving out the part where Jackson says that objective justification is Calvinistic, because I don't think that's accurate, although I know he has his own reasons for saying that all the time.  I will be forwarding to Pastors Hale and Jackson my review of the massive book on justification that was published recently.

The Non-Book Review of Philip Hale, Ft. Wayne Graduate

***

GJ - I have often wondered about David Becker's academic and scholarly credentials. Apparently they do not exist. Nor does his honesty and integrity. 

Another email from him claimed I should correct my error about the Hale hissy-fit being sent to Christian News. In the same email, he bragged about being named a contributing editor to CN by the sainted editor - that is, before his death. I do not know why - except for OJ - because he cannot identify a synecdoche, a part for the whole, when he sees it. 

If he represents CN - as we know he does, from his frequent, bowdlerized excerpts of other's people's work - then he is the part representing the entire money-making enterprise. Therefore, sending a book review to him is the same as sending it to CN.

I am laboring the point because the same writer would like to explain Christian doctrine to others, even though his reading comprehension is no higher than the average Mequon graduate.
Genuine writers quote people they disagree with - because they want to be fair to an individual's point of view. But Becker is of one mind with the OJ crowd in expunging whatever he does not like.

Going back to Becker's email, it seems that Hale himself is worried about being a direct conduit to Christian News. Many play that game. They want to be in CN but without blame. Hale immaculatus never engaged in such a terrible sin, because courting CN is for presidential candidates like Matt the Fatt and every other SP back to Jack Preus. The plebes are not allowed to make direct contact with CN and must be able to put distance between their efforts and the results appearing in print. That is how Otten and McCain worked out the miraculously fast appearance of Barry articles in CN.

I have collected and distributed more OJ material than anyone else, simply because I want each person to know the meaning of their terms,  not to mention their crafts and assaults.

  • Neal Hegge Easier to read John 3:16-18 .
    • Alan Lubeck Apparently easy for some to pervert John 3:16-18. That is why articles such as this are important. That is why we have an Apostles, Nicene, and Athanasian Creed and a Book of Concord.

    • Neal Hegge Not easy to pervert the passage , just easy to fake out people who have itching ears .
    • Alan Lubeck Itching ears are indeed a problem. They pervert the passage in order to satisfy human reason and to satisfy the itch caused by a reaction to seduction by the flesh and Satan.
    • Neal Hegge I think we're saying close to the same thing . My view is you can't pervert God's word but human reason is perverted . Although man does often misrepresent what he is calling God's word , God's word will not return empty , to the joy of some and to the shame of others .
