James White and Tom Ascol to debate Ergun and Emir Caner

James White announced on his blog today that he and Tom Ascol will be debating Ergun and Emir Caner. This will be a very interesting debate considering the email exchange Dr. White and Ergun Caner had recently. This exchange can be found here: http://www.aomin.org/ErgunCaner1.html

The debate will also be interesting in light of the Caner brothers' recent behavior over at the Founder's blog. Hopefully, the Caner brothers will distance themselves from their behavior of late and engage the issues in a mature and scholarly manner.

Simon,

First, let me welcome you to my new blog. I appreciate you coming by and having a look even though there is not much "conversation" taking place just yet. I would be delighted to have you visit regularly.

Now, the comments I'm refering to on your site are from the comments section of your Feb. 16 entry. I read the comments concerning James and posted in response to them.

Those comments immediatly came to mind when I read your post over at the Gadfly today. However, your post here is filled with christian virtue and humility so I will refrain from pursuing the issue further.

Now, I can't help but be exceedingly curious about what Reynolds told you...

Simon,

I don't think it would hurt a thing for you to post the article if you only interact and critique James White's position and resist the urge to post something of a personal nature. I mean, surely you yourself believe that healthy dialogue is beneficial to the body of Christ regardless of which side of the calvinism debate you fall on. This is, afterall, the purpose of your own blog is it not?
