[Vision2020] The Power of Doug

[DonaldH675 at aol.com]

Visionaries:
 
Recently Doug Wilson posted on his blog site <dougwils.com> that he  had 
received an anonymous email that included the observation:
 
"You [Doug Wilson] argue better than anyone. And you are very  articulate. 
People . . . know that if they come to talk with you that they will  not win." 
 
Let me assure the anonymous writer and Doug Wilson himself, that although  
Doug has brow-beaten his congregation into believing that his grasp of *truth*  
can not be effectively challenged the larger community is not as clear on that 
 point.  Perhaps that is because we lack the economic stranglehold  that 
accompanies Doug like an invisible thug every time he opens his  mouth.  I have 
heard that Doug reads for tonnage.  That may well be  true, but he understands 
and incorporates by the ounce as illustrated by his  thoughts on C.S. Lewis and 
Tolkien  _http://dougwils.com/index.asp?CategoryID=5_ 
(http://dougwils.com/index.asp?CategoryID=5) .    (C- minus work for a college freshman, Doug.)
 
Further, and most importantly, it is not a question of *winning*  against 
Doug Wilson in an argument.  In matters of spiritual  conviction Doug is not be 
the authority.  His  opinion (IMO) is no more binding  than the man in the 
moon.....unless,  (for those who believe in a final judgment) they expect to 
provide God with  the excuse that Doug Wilson is responsible for their thoughts and 
actions  because he could argue better than they could.
