Comments on: Time to Man Up http://ktownlowdown.com/time-to-man-up/ Right Here for the Low Down in KTOWN Wed, 16 May 2012 09:42:00 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.1.3 By: Micah http://ktownlowdown.com/time-to-man-up/comment-page-1/#comment-463 Micah Fri, 07 Mar 2008 20:20:57 +0000 http://ktownlowdown.com/index.php/time-to-man-up/#comment-463 I would take a Diego over Bob the Builder anyday--Diego has the ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh Rescue Pack...comin' to the rescue, I'm the Rescue Pack, i got your back. I can turn into a kite or a kayak... Mohler is the only person among many today who profoundly disagree with me that I can safely lash out at, from the safety of a computer. :) How's that for manly?! Really, though, I think Mohler's problem, and it is a serious one, is that he doesn't take Jesus into account when he talks about men (and, by extension, doesn't take Jesus' mother or great-grandmother into account when he talks about women, not to mention his g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-grandmother and beyond. There's a reason Matthew includes those women in the geneology). Jesus calls all men into the embodied care of people, not away from it. Best I can tell, contemporary calls to the renewal of "biblical" manhood contradict the very things Jesus was about, in part because it uncritically accepts a model of "masculinity" that ignores Jesus own "man-hood." I joked about fighting him because his argument is just a Southern Baptist version of the central argument of Brad Pitt in Fight Club. :) I would take a Diego over Bob the Builder anyday–Diego has the ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh Rescue Pack…comin’ to the rescue, I’m the Rescue Pack, i got your back. I can turn into a kite or a kayak…

I mean I understand you don't agree with him theologically...but to use words like frightening...what's so scary about Mohler...and he has to have at least 60 pounds on you....but you are much younger and quite agile...but then again...a smoker...I'd say it's a draw...but the way you make him sound...he must fight dirty...therefore the early rounds go to you, but I'd say he make take you out in the late rounds... Seriously though... The Bible clearly defines men and women's roles, so what's wrong with masculinity...and I'm not talking about machismo... With that said I would love to see your minivan with a "sack" on it...Lord know you needs some more of those in your house. Maybe you'll get a Bob the Builder this time instead of a Dora the Explorer. So what is the beef with Mohler anyway?
