Who is the Armchair Scholar?

Sheratan over at CARM very kindly converted this entire site (as of 10/07) to a plucker file for PDAs. Not having a PDA myself, he even mailed a couple screen shots so I could take a look at the final product. Which I thought was excessively cool. ;-)
 
Word of warning - some of the Greek characters didn't convert properly (formatting problems on my part), but the material should still be readable and coherent since I transliterate the Greek & Hebrew as often as I do.
 
I any event, (!!!) THANK YOU ROB (!!!), for creating the file, linked below for anyone who'd like to give the site a try on your PDA...

DEBATES
 
The following are debates in which I (posting as tkkclark) have gone into greater detail in my arguments, for those who'd like to take a look at the nitty gritty grammar, etc. Be forewarned - I neither endorse nor condone some of the behavior exhibited in these debates and at times, unfortunately, that includes my own.
 
 
Titus 2:13
 
Please take particular note of the arguments presented by Kelton Graham in the second half of the debate as well.
 
 
The Holy Spirit & Personification

 

The debate sidetracks to a discussion of whether or not the Holy Spirit speaks in Scripture, but particularly in Acts 8:29. I should also note that at the time of this debate, I had not yet posted my name to this website and had not yet publicly claimed it as my work, though I can’t recall if my retiscience at that point was because I was still meeting with JWs or if I was simply hesitant due to the possibility of harrassment.

 

 

NWT & Worship

How Can Jesus be Worshipped if Only "a god"? Parts 1 & 2
One of my favorite debates, though exceedingly lengthy. I think if you print the entire series, you'll end up with approx. 200pgs. Who knows, maybe more. I haven't reviewd my hardcopy in quite some time, but its a couple inches thick if memory serves.
 

In Part 1, I argue for John 1:1a, the imperfect en, denoting the Word (Jesus) as continually existing before the Beginning (Creation). Although, again if memory serves, I was distracted (and disgusted) when I felt another poster had deliberately distorted and misapplied a quote from Vine's. I come in (again as tkkclark) toward the end of Page 9.
 

In Part 2, another poster and I go into the nitty gritty of the grammar of 1:1c. This debate particularly isn't for the faint at heart. Granted, I've seen worse. Loads worse. But this still becomes fairly acerbic toward the end. At least this one's shorter. :-)

Debating 101
 
Not a download, exactly, but I'm posting pdfs of some of my debates here. May as well post links to my blogs on debating...
