[Vision2020] Getting to draw the lines and pseudonyms

[g. crabtree]

My  point was, to indicate that because something is not happening therefore "X", is an extremely weak technique for making an argument. Little more and nothing less. The fact that you like hansen's query better than mine ,of course, comes as no surprise considering your current biases. Not being a member of "the churches of Moscow" puts me at a severe disadvantage when it come to addressing the question on their behalf. Perhaps the question would be better put to Ms. Mix since she seems to be the list's arbiter of what is "unChristian" and what is not and is willing to point out how they are "mistaken."

  Gary Writes:

  If Christ Church is the purveyor of evil that you say it is, why are no churches in Moscow rushing to join you in your crusade to make their existence difficult? Could it be that these same churches see you and yours as "something else?"

   

  Me:

  I'm not sure if I understand the point argued here.  This could be taken as an argument for the fact that CC is not a purveyor of evil to the extent that some on Vision 2020 claim; or else it could be taken as an argument that other churches do not like the way some on Vision 2020 publicly criticize CC.  I do not think it would be good to take it as a valid argument for both of these claims however.  So perhaps Gary could clarify his point.  There are churches or other Christians that do significantly agree with some of the assessment of CC found here on Vision 2020, so it would seem that Gary's work will be a bit tricky if he wants to pick the former claim. 

   

  Also, I believe that Tom's question-what Gary is responding to here-is a good one; I do not believe Gary has successfully addressed that question here.
