JS: I asked if “Truth War” is a good way to describe what Jesus was creating through his ministry. For example, in training and teaching disciples, how much would “Truth War” accurately describe what Jesus is doing?

It’s plain that Josh thinks the question doesn’t matter. He says so.

I assume that “truth war” is a limited metaphor. It has some usefulness, and it has a lot of dangerous misapplications.

It makes me angry when Josh immediately says a question “doesn’t matter,” and when the response amounts to “duh,” it makes me angry on a lot of levels. I didn’t attack anyone with the question. I didn’t say “missional conversation.” I didn’t defend people with cool hair and buzzwords. Why Josh feels this is the way to respond to a question here on the BHT is a mystery to me. A dozen fellows have told me that Josh knows how to push my buttons and I agree. It’s why he has to continually demean- and that’s exactly what he does- a question with a full ridiculing attack puzzles me. I don’t know why I allow it to continue.
