Alternative Responses to Jay Dyer

A brother posted his response to Jay Dyer's challenges to Calvinism (link to his response). Drake Shelton begins his response this way:
I was ashamed of Turretinfan's responses to this so I decided to devote the past year and a half to these issues.
I'm always appreciative of assistance. Thanks, Drake! I still like my answers, but I always appreciate those who lend a helping hand.

  1. Well, Drake is a big fan of hip-hop music, so he's probably ashamed of your response because you didn't versify your arguments in rap lingo, dude.

  2. I'd be ashamed to tell anyone I spent a year and a half on that response.

  3. That response is now out-dated...Dyer will have new objections now that he's tinkering with Talmudism.

  4. I agree with Coram Deo...not only was Drake wrong on several points, he didn't even use appropriate sources.

  5. Happily for some people being wrong doesn't give them the slightest pause.

    Sources schmources...don't like their sources or their arguments, eh? Then they'll just yell louder and stamp their feet and wave their hands until you agree with them for no other reason than the hope they'll simply go away.

Comment Guidelines:

1. Thanks for posting a comment. Without you, this blog would not be interactive.

2. Please be polite. That doesn't mean you have to use kid gloves, but please try not to flame others, even if they are heretics, infidels, or worse.

3. If you insult me, I'm more likely to delete your comment than if you butter me up. After all, I'm human. I prefer praise to insults. If you prefer insults, there's something wrong with you.

4. Please be concise. The comment box is not your blog. Your blog is your blog. If you have a really long comment, post it on your blog and post a short summary of it here.

5. Please don't just spam. It's one thing to be concise, it's another thing to simply use the comment box to advertise.

6. Please note, by commenting here, you are relinquishing your (C) in your comments to me.

7. Remember that you will give an account on judgment day for your words, including those typed in comment boxes. Try to write so you will not be ashamed if it is read back before the entire world.

8. Stay on topic. If your comment has nothing to do with the post, email it to me (my email can be obtained through my blogger profile), or simply don't post it.

9. Don't post as "Anonymous." If you are going to post anonymously, at least use some kind of recognizable "handle," so we can tell you apart from all the other anonymous folks. (This is moot at the moment, since recent abuse has forced me to turn off "anonymous" commenting.)

10. Do unto others as you would have them do unto you; and abstain from doing to others what you would not wish upon yourself.
