    1) As someone with autism, I don’t think you’re quite stereotyping it correctly and 2) You are proving perfectly what I always say about the FV: “It is general correct in its critique of Reformed Theology, but it goes too far. It is a pendulum swing in the opposite direction.”

    Hi Robert

    This is “literary” autism. And I was just making a point about how most Bible teachers present the Bible.

    Deconstruction is fine, but if that’s all we do the car ain’t going nowhere! Most people we teach don’t get caught up in the drama and beauty of a parts catalogue…

    I know, and I agree with you for the most part. Any scientist who dissects a frog and then tells you he understands it (as opposed to watching a live frog) doesn’t really understand frogs.

    Perhaps I should have stuck with the frog analogy. ; )
