Baptists vs. Presbyterians: the animated video debate

Using the magic of Xtranormal, here’s how I imagine my debate with Kyle a few weeks back would have looked like if we had done it in person.  And if I were a cool black guy.

  1. LOL – how’d you do that? ok ok I see the link, but still, it’s awesome! you get to put in all the positions and movements, they are priceless. 2 thumbs up, 5 stars & all that jazz

  2. NERD! You have way too much time on your hands. :)
    Your just jealous because my argument stands:
    1. Baptism is a sign of initiation into the church
    2. Children of believer(s) belong to the church
    3. Ergo, children should receive the sign of initiation.
    Let’s face it. We all agree with #1. The contention is #2. Yet, you must admit that children belonged to the church in OT days, and since there is no explicit revocation of their status in the NT you haven’t a right to displace them. Until you can answer for this I stand as a firm paedo. ;)

  3. “Your” just jealous because I schooled you in our debate. And now the world can see it on YouTube. Besides, if I’m the nerd with too much time on my hands, how come I haven’t bothered to create a household shrine to my spiritual ancestors?

    …You must admit that children belonged to the church in OT days…

    I’d love to see chapter and verse on that.

    P.S. Perhaps you should think of another moniker besides paedo. It’s good to love kids, but it’s not good to love kids that much.

    P.P.S. You are Jr. Cheeseborger, not Cheeseborger. Get it right next time or I will have to turn you in for identity fraud!

  4. Ummm…they received the outward sign of the covenant, they were present when the covenant was renewed, they had a standing in the congregation of Israel, and were present in their religious assemblies (c.f. Genesis 17; Deuteronomy 29:10, 13; Joshua 8:35; 2 Chronicles 20:13, and Joel 2:16). If the “new covenant” is a more gracious covenant why would it now exclude children? That doesn’t seem “more” gracious, rather less gracious ;)
    Ergo, Baptists hate babies and eat them for breakfast ;)

  5. FYI: Forgive me for being “Cheeseborger” and not “Jr. Cheeseborger” I’ve remedied that.
    Secondly, forgive me for “your” I don’t know what I was thinking. My only defense is that in the last two days I’ve worked 32 hours and am wiped :)

  6. That was awesome. However, I would still like those 3 minutes and 32 seconds of my life back. Thank you.

  7. So yeah, the children of Israelites belonged to Israel in OT days. Doesn’t take a Ph.D. to figure that out. But I believe your exact statement was…

    …You must admit that children belonged to the church in OT days…

    I don’t know why I must admit that at all.

    If the “new covenant” is a more gracious covenant why would it now exclude children?

    If the new covenant is a more gracious covenant, why does it now exclude the land? (The answer to both of those questions is: let’s turn to the Bible instead of asking questions that require omniscience to answer.)

  8. The Real Cheeseborger

    Okay, I must now weigh in.

    First of all, I don’t forgive you, Kyle, for taking my name!

    Secondly, by “worked” you mean that you worked 2 hours a day and sat in on the conference sessions for the rest of the time. I’m sure that was awful and terribly exhausting for you :) Let’s just face it, you’re grammar just isn’t that good.

    Thirdly, I’m really glad you haven’t actually eaten Evie for breakfast. If you were truly Presbyterian, you would have by now. There’s hope for you yet!

  9. Great point, Cheeseborger. If the Junior hasn’t eaten his own daughter—the most readily available baby—for breakfast, can he truly be a Presbyterian? The evidence leads us to one and only one conclusion: he is a closet Baptist.

  10. dave…you crack me up

  11. thanks for your help with the blog! :)

  12. My name is Dave, I need to update.
