I agree - Bad logic and faulty hermeneutics don't necessarily mean the conclusion is wrong. When that happens, it usually means the person started with the conclusion, and worked backwards to create some flim-flam justification for it.You're simply being thrown off be his obviously quirky approach.
Doesn't mean he is often actually off-base in his assertions.
Rom. 14:5.
In this case, what's happening is that Dan has a lot of experience arguing several pet arguments, within the framework of his theology. He keeps attempting to frame the conversation as one of those arguments, but he's having some difficulty arguing with me, because my arguments are not ones that he's encountered before, and I refuse to argue within his framework. (I have my own framework, of course.)
So, he continually reaches back into his bag-of-tricks and pulls out an old argument that worked some other time, even though its basically a non-sequitur to what I said.
Maybe you want to help him? I left lots of points open for dispute/discussion in my posts, but he didn't pick up on any of them.
