Fire Truck Baptistry Rebuttal

Jeremy Roberts is an M.Div. student at Southwestern and serves as an intern to Jack Graham at Prestonwood Baptist in Dallas. He also used to serve as an assistant to Ronnie Floyd. With all the attention given to Floyd's church over the past several days, Roberts rises to the occasion to give a response (a personal one, not an official one). You can read it here.

I keep reading about the baptistery and don't get why it's worth all the squabbling. Good to see that some people's lives are so smooth-sailing that they don't have enough problems of their own to occupy their minds, but how can this be the best thing folks can find to make an issue of? What am I missing?

Let's go back and read what I wrote:

In the first post, I wrote " What would you say if I told you that there is a Southern Baptist church that got a former Disney designer to revamp their children's ministry area?" I then quoted from the Christianity Today issue and asked the opionion of readers (giving none of my own).

I followed this with a quote of an interview with Paige Patterson, ending the post by saying it was interesting in light of the upcoming summer events.

In the second post, I noted the confusion in the net about the authenticity of the firetruck and quoted from Baptist Press and the Houston Chronicle. Again, no personal opionions made.

Then in the third post, I created a link to Roberts' rebuttal. Once again, no personal opinions offered.

Can anyone find a disparaging remark in my writings regarding Dr. Floyd?

Same here, and my apologies for not specifying that I was referring to linked material, and its linked material, and its linked material, and the whole issue.

Again, so sorry. Intent was never to put words in anyone's mouth.
