The last sentence in the recording is the most telling. While I applaud the bravery of Comfort/Cameron, I also am saddened that they would volunteer to leave the primary tool given us by God behind. Then they allow the whole thing to become a philosophical circus.
When a Christian brings impossible claims to the table and then neglects to fulfill these claims, we all look stupid. Yes, the Bible says that the world will hate us and I can accept that. But at least let the world hate us for Christ's sake, not because we set ourselves up to fail!
I agree completely - but, from what I understand part of the agreement was that they not use the bible. Or they said they could do it without the bible. One or the other.
I agree with what you said though - when things go from factual to philosophical, logic breaks down and you end up trying to wrestle with jello; it is hard to come out on top in that type of a situation.
(sigh)
