No one can deny that DKB is the most educated GS the UPCI has ever known.
And no one has.

Sadly that isn't saying much.

Slander? You are a little upset, defensive and really speaking inaccuracies. What has been said that is slanderous?
I am not upset at all. Not one bit.

Why do you say that I am? Simply because I'm not joining your little lynching mob?

This thread was started because Baron has a problem with DKB's educational choices. You have agreed with that general upset.

Really, what business are his legitimate educational choices to you? Who do you think you are? Honestly?

That's just wrong.

What purpose to the questions regarding DKB's education serve? The answer is "none." This is so because his education is legit, and yet you and others still sling poop against the wall in the hope that something will stick.

You are engaging in unjustified character assassination.
If it's legit, then relax. No need to come to the defense with such emotion.

Sling poop? We are discussing a very factual matter that the leading theologian has his religious studies from a sub-par academic institution.

This is not a CHARACTER assassination. Don't make things up.

I think the underlying concern is larger than DKB. It's one that came up in the LS thread, which obviously was different, but also shares similarities.

There's that attitude again. Friend, you are no longer a part of it, so why do you care? Is this what you want to spend your life doing?

Move on, for gosh sake.

You're not upset? You have me fooled. Lynch mob? Slander? Accusations that the poster is an elitist. If that's happy, I don't want to be around you when you're upset.

That's a good question: In what ways do a college president's educational choices, a theologian's educational choices matter to others?

Why does education matter at all?

The implication...no I have said it outright...is this He is the voice of the Oneness movement and he chose a route that makes his educational claims seem suspect. A PhD in 2 years? Most programs in the US one couldn't even complete their course work.

Read what you just posted. It should make an objective person smirk.

Your posit is not "factual." It's a value judgment.
