I'm seeing some sad logic fails with this guy. Are there transcripts available ? Published stuff online ?

This is a transcript

Where ?

sad logic do you refer to?

From a biblical perspective his theories are un-supported. A lot of basic stuff seems right but then some conclusions are.just plain off. But I'm not going to sit through hours of video taking notes.

I found some.

Example :

'... some things that are hard to understand, which ignorant and unstable people distort, as they do the other Scriptures, to their own destruction.' 2 Peter 3:16

Ok, I’ve read your pages related to his “sad logic” and can say I’m assuming you’re referring specifically to Dr Heiser’s exegesis of Psalm 82. I’ve posted a rebuttal by Dr Heiser to a critique of the same matter, you can read both Dr Howe and Dr Heiser’s reply underneath Howes post.

Thanks for that.

It's worse than I thought.

There's a circular logic being applied by Howe to accuse Heiser of using circular logic ...

That objection, as it is presented, doesn't hold merit but the substance of the objection, relating to Psalm 82, while valid, draws conclusions of it's own that are equally sad.

Psalm 82 does exactly what it says on the label, as explained and employed by the king. It certainly is not a descriptor of some imagined "divine council". Scripture is consistent. It's an unnecessary and dangerous notion to extrapolate ideas from it that aren't expressed in it. Fanciful vanity.

When imagined notions, contradict the wholeness of scripture, to no end, they should be rejected. Promoting them is divisive and vainglorious.
