I've noticed a trend over the last few years among some on the progressive christian side of things, and it goes like this.
The speaker or author will continually express thoughts that lead those who hear or read them to reach certain conclusions based on what they say ot write. For example, someone might spend years explaining how everyone is saved, yet people refer to them as a "universalist", they deny it. This charade goes on for months or years until one day, they finally admit their universalism.
It makes me wonder why people just aren't honest about their beliefs and don't just admit that their readers and listeners have correctly characterized their position correctly, and that they've been either unwilling to admit the reality or that they've been dishonest about their beliefs. If you are going to advocate for a position, just own your position and take the heat.

Dan,
As I've said on the last few posts, you are welcome to comment here, but, I have asked that you answer the three questions you've been dodging since November before you say anything else. You've chosen to ignore my request and make demands instead. I've shown you grace so far, but from here on out it's a zero tolerance policy. I'm sorry you've chosen to bring things to this point, but I'm going to insist.
