There appears to be a complete works of Lightfoot on the web, but I failed to download any of the 16+ parts earlier. I was using poor wifi at the time, so I might be able to do it now. EDIT: Yeah, these appear genuine. But... they're massive. Here: http://www.preteristarchive.com/Books/1684_lightfoo...

JLVaughn, You and Sailhamer at least have in common the irrational belief that your long age views have long been the Christian consensus. Also, would you mind giving a quote coming directly from Lightfoot, which states that he believed in a gap before Genesis? I will admit that I have never read th...

Hello, one and all. I'm looking for someone to collaborate with me on writing a work of fiction similar to the works of J.R.R. Tolkien and/or C.S. Lewis. It's not for a book and there is no profit in it, but it is mainly for fun and something else I will need to explain. I'm not looking for an Engli...

JLVaughn, If you want to talk about someone showing their true colors, practically every post you make screams of your eschatological party's polemic. Please, by all means, continue to play the misunderstood martyr, get upset and take peoples' statements out of context, just so you can wave around a...

Okay, BNA. I'm done here. We are just going to have to disagree and part ways, since you are not going to budge for any reason on the issues in question. I will not budge on Scripture being given to us by God through his prophets, so sorry. Your Roman Catholic teachings have the appearance of being ...

Again, you have falsely made long ages equivalent to "evolutionary thought." Tell me, what is the purpose of long ages? If not for evolution, where do you get them? And don't say "dating methods," as those beg the question of evolution. Why, JLVaughn, do you need long ages? Evol...

Dear JLVaughn, 1. I never did claim to be an expert on everything Charles Spurgeon ever said. ;) I recalled some incidence where it was said he had some inclination to evolutionary thought and out it went. If that pleases you, have your fill, sir. 2. I said you took what they said about foxes/dogs a...

Question for Aduro: Who has authority to define what should be in the Canon of Scripture? What is Scripture? The Word of God, which has been revealed by His prophets. And then the apostles were charged by Jesus to make disciples of all men, whose words are recorded in the compilation we know as the...

You are so angry you can't think straight. AiG's hero, Charles Spurgeon... This is faulty logic. Because a Christian claims evolution as viable does not make it Scripturally sound. So angry I can't think straight? I can admire your polemic, but it's far from correct. Spurgeon certainly does have th...

I said no such thing. Scripture was not written in simple English by modern people. You are pretending that it is. I do not such thing, but it is merely for sake of the argument that you say so. If I am ignorant about ancient times, then you can insert your "correct" interpretation and ha...

Well, really, it's not a problem of trust for JLVaughn so much as it is a necessity to keep his theory alive. If he gives up his choice passages and gives deference to interpretations not favoring his own, he undermines his own position and makes himself look like a fool. Obviously, he's not going t...

Good grief , BNA. I didn't ask for an essay. Give me a tl;dr version or else I will just consider it as something you copy/pasted. There was no such thing as "Canon" for longer than you state, but that's beside the point. It is frivolous to assert that because something was referred to, e...
