"Would you also call sophists:"

No, but I would call Webster's disingenuous and and outright fraudulent citation of sources a text book example of sophistry. It is what one of my professors referred to as footnote padding and another referred to as putting lipstick on a pig.

You would have me believe that Webster's position is fully supported by those he cites when in many cases the exact opposite is true and obvious to anyone familiar with the cited sources.

There are numerous Protestant theologians worthy of citation, but to hang your credibility on a charlatan like Webster is frankly disappointing.

Peace be with you.

I don't "hang my credibility" on anyone other than my Lord Jesus Christ and His Holy Bible. As to the article I linked from Webster, why not give me a few examples of what you mean by his "disingenuous and outright fraudulent citation of sources". It should be easily shown if it is indeed what he has done.

I would suppose that the real beef with Webster is like I said, he was a Roman Catholic and he left that church for Protestant Evangelicalism. He also has an article posted that explains his reason as well as why he will continue to remain Evangelical. It is Why Scripture and the Facts of History Compel Me, a Former Roman Catholic, to Remain a Committed Evangelical Protestant . It is also well-sourced. Enjoy.
