Not sure if this is possible or if it's already available and I am simply unaware....
It would be nice to be able to know if one of your posts was responded to. In fast moving threads if you make a post you have to scan through all the new posts to see if yours was responded to. That isn't a problem if you are interested in reading everything but sometimes you are involved in a specific conversion and don't need to read the rest. I'd be nice to know if you were responded to and even nicer if you could go straight to that response.
The original Ask Knight thread was started in 2004 and had 5,332 responses and 261,543 page views! Threads that get that large tend to be very slow to load and therefore not as convenient to use. So, I have started this new Ask Knight thread (named Ask Knight II) to pick up where the original left off.
What's the point of the Ask Knight thread? Well... it can be really frustrating sometimes when you ask people seemingly simple questions and get no response or receive a long drawn out response that isn't much more than pure obfuscation.
I always try to answer questions with simple direct answers.
After all... truth shouldn't have a complicated explanation.
Therefore I give you....
ASK KNIGHT!
Ask me anything you want and I promise to give you a short direct answer.
No *topic is "off limits". The openess of God, dispensationalism, conservativism, hockey, the inner-workings of TOL, whatever!!!
Example questions...
- Hey Knight why did you start TOL?
- Hey Knight why does God do bad things to good people?
- Hey Knight why do you believe God exists?
- Hey Knight, why are you so ugly?
- Etc. etc.
Ask away.... and get the answers you are seeking.
*topics that are are inappropriate for TOL are inappropriate for "Ask Knight" as well.
P.S. I will do my best to answer your question in a timely manner.
Hey Knight, I know "Jesus" was the name of the "flesh" but what does "Christ" mean?

Dooku
Most forums operate this way. You used to be able to click the email link and go right to the post that was in response to you.
Now, if you'd like to know if there is a new post you have to go old school--put the display into hybrid mode and look for the new yellow dots.

Knight, may I ask why Trad was banned for arguing via analogy that salvation is not instantaneous?
"If a sheerly linguistic version of the gospel could be concocted, it would merely so be no longer the gospel. In the Lutheran Reformation’s understanding, which we believe in this matter to be correct, the sacraments make the inalienable externality of the gospel message and therefore are necessary to the authenticity of that message." (Christian Dogmatics [1984], II:302-303 as cited in Pontifications)
