That is, until I began to read the comment thread. Patterson is obviously committed to the gospel, to the churches, and to reaching the lost, as came out in the interview-we really heard from this man's heart in a weak moment. Unfortunately, these heartfelt thoughts are being shrouded over and lost because of the imposition of ideas that have come from another blog, a blog that has been making unsubstantiated claims. And now, the conversation has shifted to whether a Calvinist can say that Christ died for lost people. Even though some of the Calvinists themselves have objected to the idea that such passionate presentation of the gospel is perfectly compatible with Calvinism, the conversation continues and the unsubstantiated charges are subtly brought over from the other blog. May I ask a favor from the editors of SBC Today? Would you please consider closing the comment stream in order to allow people to listen to Patterson directly without distracting (and what some might legitimately consider to be rumor-mongering) catcalls from the gallery? SBC Today is a reputable blog that does not need to become intertwined with less reputable blogs. Thank you for considering my request.

Bin Laden deserves to die, though possibly without the treatment (humorous as it is) of Volfan's. From the Middle East,

Sounds like one to four pointers will be OK, but anyone who bears the dreaded L of theology may not be, if Dr. Patterson proves consistent in his interpretation and stated belief in the video. What, pray tell, would he have told Spurgeon? I finally got the time to listen to the video.
