Well, here we are with another Sweater Vest Dialogue.

00:02

You folks love these things, and Doug and I love getting together, so Doug, how you been doing? James, listen, I'm having a really hard time not setting things on fire around me, but I am grateful that you have me together again with you, with our sweater vests on.

00:20

I want to ask you a few questions, you know, usually on these shows we have sort of a banter, we go back and forth, but I have some questions for you that I've really been meaning to ask you, and these are important things that I think everyone back in Moscow would want to know.

00:34

The first one is this, I've been referred to as the C.S.

00:38

Lewis of our generation.

00:41

I haven't referred to you that way.

00:43

Well, I want you to tell me why you agree with that.

00:46

Why I agree with that? Yes, yes.

00:50

Well, I think you'd really enjoy it if I agreed with that.

00:55

That would be one way of doing it.

00:56

I think you're right.

00:57

But I'll be perfectly honest with you, I actually agree with you more often than I do with C.S.

01:06

Lewis.

01:06

Well, looky there.

01:07

So there you go.

01:07

I'm not sure if you'll take that as a positive thing or not.

01:11

Well, you know, with all this competition between Presbyterians and Reformed Baptists, do you think it is because we do have superior theology? I think it's because you continually think that you have superior theology without actually reading what the other side says.

01:27

Well, I think, therefore I am.

01:29

So that works for me.

01:31

Now, I have another question.

01:32

This is really important to me.

01:34

Is it really important to you? Don't play this too hard.

01:42

Yes.

01:43

My question is, you have...

01:46

No, you should not become a United Methodist.

01:48

No, no, no, no, no.

01:49

No, my question for you is, you've become a Post Mill.

01:52

I have.

01:53

And I've been Post Mill for quite a while.

01:55

And you helped me get there.

01:57

Well, that kind of ruins the joke.

01:59

I was going to say, am I responsible for you being a Post Mill? Well, obviously, Jeff Durbin would want to be the primary source of that.

02:10

But yes, I'm afraid you've been in some good movies and films that helped me, yes.

02:15

Okay, all right.

02:16

Well, James, you've engaged in today 180 moderated debates.

02:22

A couple of them with you.

02:23

Well, I was going to ask, which ones were the greatest and why were they the ones I was in? Uh-huh, uh-huh.

02:28

Yeah, well, unfortunately, I'm not sure how to respond to that.

02:34

Have you been helping with the communion cups again? Hey, listen, I know that some people use Welch's grape juice, and it's okay to be wrong.

02:46

Yeah, I agree.

02:49

Now, how long before you moved to Moscow? You know, I've thought about it, but I'm afraid that Chocolate Knox would just start shaking continuously and would never stop if I was actually up there.

03:01

So, I love the guy so much that I don't want to drive him into fits of distraction.

03:09

Well, James, I have one question that I think everybody wants to know.

03:12

You already had one question.

03:13

No, no, no, one last question.

03:14

Oh, okay, okay, all right.

03:15

As Doug Wilson, I'm very precise, so you're right.

03:18

You are.

03:19

You are very precise.

03:21

He's very precise.

03:21

Yes, very precise.

03:23

Now, you are about 95% a great theologian.

03:26

What have I got to do to sell you on that other 5%? Bring you over to our side and make you a Presbyterian? Because, again, superior theology.

03:35

Remove Hebrews chapter 8 from the Bible.

03:39

That's what you're going to have to do.

03:40

Do you hate babies? And as you asked me in 2004, isn't it cute when you baptize a baby? And that's exactly why we should do it, because it's cute.

03:53

The babies are cute.

03:54

They're cute.

03:56

All right, I want to stop right now and say, Doug, if you do watch this, we love you, and this was all in good fun.

04:01

That's right.

04:02

Thank you, Dr.

04:02

White, for this very Sweater vest dialogue.

04:06

Sweater vest dialogue.

04:07

Absolutely.
