For those interested, my name is Luke. I'm an irishman, a private person, musicologist and virtuoso musician, a Christian, and a know-it-all jackass. At least, that's what a scholar is essentially, right?
In terms of theology, I am non-denominational and relate to Christians of all different sorts. More specifically, I am a Trinitarian, against the primacy of the Apostolic See or any Orthodox order, because of my position on Christian history and biblical scholarship, and lastly I think of salvation in terms of Mere Christianity, in that any person who has faith in Jesus Christ is in the family, no matter the theological views.
Why am I here? My grandfather was a Greek scholar with a Master's in Divinity, and I'm largely like him. In terms of professional experience and degrees, I support arguments and cite facts, that's all you need to know. Ask me to cite a fact or support an argument, and I will not be obtuse, I will cite the argument and support the fact like any classically trained gentleman. That's one of my pet peeves, when P1 and P2 don't imply C, and someone hasn't the basic education required to see that, yet they are engaging in debate on an academic subject (an example of my jackassery).
With all of that said, I am courteous. I have my views, yet I am a courteous man and will never insult, condescend, use ad hominem argumentation, belittle, or willingly offend unless it is incidental to presenting a logical case.
