Re: appeals to authority and other fallacies
Bruce Metzger wad a leading Bible scholar and a Presbyterian Minister. You can see how she deals with his expertise in message 292 this thread.
Her attitude to experts is as biased and tainted as everything else she posts.

Re: appeals to authority and other fallacies
quote:
Bruce Metzger is an unbeliever in the Bible as God's supernatural word. His "scholarship" is evil and fraudulent because he attacks the authority of God's word, and so is his "Presbyterian ministry" evil and fraudulent
In other words he rejects the unbiblical doctrines of your cult and so you react with hate and slander.
quote:
I do not have to accept all supposed authorities as valid authorities in order to say as a principle that arguments from authority are not invalid as such.
But Bruce Metzger is a valid authority and if you truly believed your own defence of arguments from authority you should give his views a fair chance instead of rejecting them out of hand with hatred and falsehoods. This is how you prove it is you who has no interest in the truth.
quote:
Bias describe any position that takes sides, such as the position that accepts Metzger's "modern scholarship" over orthodox Protestant scholarship. Of course I'm biased. So are you.
It takes rather more bias for you to maintain your position than it does for me to maintain mine, as you demonstrate again and again.
