James White Twitter Exchange
Well, I'm sort of famous -- Dr. White mentioned me on his Dividing Line program this week. He retweeted a quote from Jonathan Edwards about God's pent up wrath poured out on Jesus, to which I replied "yuck." He replied that I clearly had never read any Edwards -- to which I replied that he had no way to know that and that, in fact, I had read a fair amount of Edwards. A few other exchanges where he made assumptions about me and I denied them -- then, he mentioned me on his podcast and referred to me as being clearly a Zahn-type Progressive Christian who he didn't have time for. So, I tweeted him that I heard the call-out and that calling someone a Progressive merely for disagreeing with him was foolish and not very Christ-like.
So, he blocked me on Twitter (which is a shame, because I sometimes learn things from his tweets).
All he knows about me is that I don't like Edwards' quote and that I acknowledged that my view of the atonement might well be deficient (his claim) but that we all likely have deficient views of the atonement. Progressive?!
How this man has any influence (or relationships) with anyone but his echo chamber amazes me. (petulant comes to mind)

Yep. You've got his number, Darin.

Re: James White Twitter Exchange
I do hate to see that.
Not on topic, but I read a C.S. Lewis quote in your tweets. Something like, "The more pride you have, the more you are bothered by other people's pride."
I don't remember reading that before. Insightful.

I really wasn't trying to "get you", darinhouston. I was struck (or "convicted" as we might say) by that quote myself. Always good to check our pride-level though, right.
Oh, "Zahnd". No wonder I couldn't find anything when I was trying to look up "Zahn".mattrose wrote:

Re: James White Twitter Exchange
Wow man, that was you? That's funny, I heard that and just kind of shook my head smiling and thought how "yuck" would be my response as well. I listen to the Dividing Line regularly and enjoy it much of the time. Though I sometimes wonder how it might be if I was to ever hang out with him. I'm mostly a heretic by his estimation, and yet he remains one of my heroes. Such is life I guess.Well, I'm sort of famous -- Dr. White mentioned me on his Dividing Line program this week.
