I agree wholeheartedly with Dr. Bock's comment and I would add this: not only is it vitally important that we respond to situations like this with the appropriate lines of evidence and reasoning, but it crucial that we do so in a manner that reflects the character of Christ. If we fail to give those with whom we disagree the respect they deserve--not necessarily as scholars, historians, etc., but as men and women made in the image of God--we have done the gospel a disservice, even if we have factually defended the truth. I would question whether bare dismissal, laughter, or snickering does justice to the NT injunctions to love one's enemy and give an account for our hope with gentleness and respect. Let's all please think carefully about how we engage in this debate.
