Mark Stevens named Brian LePort blogger of the week, and for good reason! Brian’s posts contain questions that normally evangelical and conservative Christians do not like to ask. I guess that is why some bloggers have tried to take Brian to task, even though he has not come to any conclusions, just asking questions, admitting his skepticism. I say to Brian: keep up the excellent work! No one has been ordained the enforcer of orthodox thinking on the biblio/theo-blogosphere. The world is a better place because of the people who do ask the hard questions.
Truth and Peace,
Rod
Where were you when I asked the tough questions about the Top 50!
Silent. Scared of Scott Bailey’s wrath…………..But really, I have different concerns now, and I have already been there, done that. Daniel and Tonya just ate me alive for questioning the political categories that were going to be used to label us all.
Well, I don’t know who they are but how about i write a post backing you!
that was such a long time ago;

I think they eventually decided against the labels and then retired from ruling the theoblogging universe.
HA! I had the exact same complaint…luckily no one read my blog back then…
Thanks for the encouraging word Rod!
No problem, Brian
I think Brian’s questions are fine! I also think it’s fine for others to push-pack, and give their own rants (Nick Norrelli) — it seems like tit for tat — another day in the ‘sphere.
But I do appreciate Brian’s passion and learning spirit . . . it’s a great fit for the theo/biblio-sphere!
I really don’t think it’s tit for tat especially given that Nick’s 2 posts about Brian’s questioning have bordered on being quite personal.
Okay. I could say more, but it’s not worth it.
Ya got to be tough and cohesive to be a theolog, and then seek to pastor & teach!
