Woody, if you have any specific criticizms of the article, then post them. If you are going to resort to calling every idea that does not comport with CCWoodyism a fatal sin, without providing evidence of that fact, then yes, maybe you ought not to participate.
The article was posted for discussion. I don't agree with it, but I'm not going to go off on a limb and claim that anyone who agrees with Boyd must be some kind of reprobate. Our salvation is not dependent upon our understanding of God in the realms of space/time/relativity, but only on our recognition of the sacrifice that Jesus made on the cross.
Boyd's arguments are for the most part well reasoned, and they encroach upon areas where the scripture is not all that clear. Now maybe you think that everyone ought to be as clear on the subject as you or else they are not saved. Fine. Think it all you want. It doesn't make it true and it doesn't make you the final arbiter of all things orthodox.
So, if you have some specific criticizm of Dr. Boyd's arguments and you think you can convince everyone of the errors of his ways, then lets hear your viewpoint. If you can't do it, then don't even bother posting. Everybody knows that you think that you are the most orthodox person on the planet. You don't have to remind us in every post.
A good point.
There are many areas where scripture is not clear or is entirely silent.
I would like to think that God intended it to be that way because the matter is not for us to understand or the larger concept is the point that God is making.
Take prophecy for example, specifically the book of Revelation.
I believe the overall ideas, images, concepts, patterns are what we are to understand not trying to decipher the meaning of the color of clothing a horseman is wearing.
