Inerrantist Christian scholar D.A. Garrett says:
To the best of my knowledge, with exception for a few idiots who replied with a few trifles on some of my blog posts indicating they are more interested in defending Holding, no follower of James Patrick Holding has ever asked for my side of any story. The one that came close, chose to slink back into the shadows after I convinced him he was libeling me.17:4 Taking gossip seriously is itself a form of malice practiced by those who have no respect for the truth.Garrett, D. A. (2001, c1993). Vol. 14: Proverbs, Ecclesiastes, Song of songs (electronic ed.).
Logos Library System; The New American Commentary (Page 158).
This proverb is interesting because it shows he thinks those who take slanderous gossip seriously without doing any checking, are themselves equally as corrupt as the gossiper himself.
If Holding babies read this and feel themselves exonerated since they might have asked a few cursory questions before they believed Holding's gossip, they are reminded that there is a third libel lawsuit currently pending against Holding. He was forced to hire a lawyer, he filed a motio to dismiss, and the Court chose to delay ruling on it, forcing Holding to pay the expense of answering discovery.
The point is that it sure is funny how your faith-hero cannot escape this third lawsuit as easily as you think he should. Perhaps you might consider that there are truths he isn't telling you about, and THAT's why his slam-dunk defenses aren't working. Suggest you give him a call. Then again, your profession of Christ is total bullshit in the first place, probably best if you didn't call him.
