NOTE: I originally started this post in 2008 and it's been sitting as a draft until today.
Oh yeah you know that's a title that'll put you on one side of the stadium or the other. You might find yourself trying to sit near the end zones but everyone knows you can't really be participating in the game from there. Is there a much more polarizing discussion than this? It's one that for personal reasons I've shied away from, but not the IMonk, nope he's gone deftly in where some fear to go.
So in case your part of the blogdom doesn't normally get you there please take the time to read these articles. If this is at all something that you are interesting in (from either perspective) I think it will do you a great deal of good. At least it will make this post make sense.

I believe Michael does a very good job of explaining both sides of this issue. He is as humble as possible and willingly takes a look at the plank that most evangelicals refuse to see in their own eyes. In the end though scripture wins out against feelings and while we may have ended the battle with no blood shed (the comments were all quite civil) there is a divide which must remain.
One of the commenter's remarks sounded very close to my own regarding this issue. So I started to add my own comment but figured it was getting to be too long…
