My response to Chris Rosebrough

[EDIT: Now that I have a little sleep and got some valuable proofreading feedback from others, I went through and cleaned up a couple awkward phrasings and grammar errors. Everything else is the same, and I sent Chris a copy of the original post, in case he has any interest in reading it.]

A couple days ago I posted an outline of the argument Chris Rosebrough made regarding the Ground Zero Mosque (GZM). I've listened to the podcast a couple of times since and edited what I wrote, seeking to make it accurate and complete. I'm comfortable claiming I've made every effort I could to hear Chris out (as he requested) and understand what he was trying to say, even to the point of comparing what was in the original broadcast and the longer, modified podcast.

Now I want to respond to what I heard.

An Outline of Chris Rosebrough's Ground Zero Mosque Argument

EDIT: I didn't get a lot of feedback on my outline, for whatever that's worth. But I've listened to the podcast a couple of times and tweaked what I wrote accordingly. I haven't gotten any confirmation, but it seems the most of the second half of the podcast is different than what was originally broadcast. Its content is largely the same, but the tone was a bit stronger. There was also more discussion of preaching the Gospel, which I've tried to indicate below.

Yesterday, Chris Rosebrough did a show on Fighting For The Faith giving his take on the Ground Zero Mosque (GZM) situation. It was a little different than many I've heard so far, and since I really respect his thinking, I wanted to hear him out, even though my initial take on the bits and pieces he'd thrown out on FaceBook wasn't favorable.
