Kenosis- Split from Pop preachers

[NorrinRadd]

Sad innit - no examination of the claims, just deciding that they are either correct or incorrect based on the identity of the speaker/author. Scant few do otherwise.

To some extent it's understandable. If you know by observation that a preacher has made dozen of screwball claims, and that the preacher's style is to speak off-the-cuff, your first pass is likely to be to assume the preacher goofed again.

I don't like it when the "heresy hunters" cherry-pick the worst quotes and give them the worst possible interpretation. And I don't like it when they take a dozen different problematic quotes from a dozen different goofballs, and then claim ALL of them believe ALL the things quoted.

That kind of thing says more about the critics than it does about the criticised IMO.

Stumbled across this by Providential happenstance. It's a relevant clip of the late Gordon Fee, probably from around 40 years ago, teaching his college students.

The clip is very interesting indeed. It comes as something of a surprise to see that kind of exposition from a notable academic.
