This is Norman Geisler’s initial charge against Mike Licona, which has been very consistent throughout this debate and which often gets overlooked: “First of all, what is being done here is the same basic thing that Robert Gundry did in dehistoricizing sections of Matthew and for which he was asked to resign from the Evangelical Theological Society in 1983. How then can another evangelical interpretation of the same kind be overlooked as unimportant to orthodox Christianity?”

IAM had it
You can't give something you do not have! SO IAM had it first and he got it from his civilization that he was one of the last survivors of the ice melt.
it also is a teaching that all villages should be closed like a ship and built of concentric circles make of arches.... more stuff you did not know.

I ask,
who was first with the Ark?
(bet you get it wrong!)
THE CHICAGO STATEMENT ON BIBLICAL INERRANCY
Article XVIII
“We affirm that the text of Scripture is to be interpreted by grammatico-historicaI exegesis, taking account of its literary forms and devices, and that Scripture is to interpret Scripture.
We deny the legitimacy of any treatment of the text or quest for sources lying behind it that leads to relativizing, dehistoricizlng, or discounting its teaching, or rejecting its claims to authorship.”

“Indeed, they requested that Robert Gundry resign (by an overwhelming vote) for holding a similar view which dehistoricized sections of the Gospel of Matthew. Licona makes no mention of this crucial fact, but insists on redefining inerrancy to fit his errant view. However, in the light of the Gundry decision, Licona has no grounds on which to stand to claim his view is consistent with the historic view of inerrancy, which was embraced by the founders of ETS” (Norman Geisler).

Frank Turek, William Dembski, Gary Habermas, Josh McDowell, William Lane Craig, Daniel B. Wallace, W. David Beck, Craig Blomberg, James Chancellor, Jeremy A. Evans, Craig S. Keener, Douglas J. Moo, J. P. Moreland, Heath A. Thomas, William Warren, Edwin M. Yamauchi, and yes, Norman L. Geisler endorse the man Mike Licona, but do they also endorse the method? This is what Norman Geisler terms “Methodological Unorthodoxy.”

A handful of scholars, including Norman Geisler—“I have examined your work on the resurrection (The Resurrection of Jesus: A New Historiographical Approach (IVP, 2010). Overall, it is a massive (718 pages), scholarly resource, and I commend you for your efforts and for your defense of the bodily resurrection of Christ”—endorses the man Mike Licona, but do they also endorse the method? This is what Norman Geisler terms “Methodological Unorthodoxy.”

Subsequent to Norman Geisler’s article, “Methodological Unorthodoxy,” in March of 1983, Robert Gundry was asked to resign from the Evangelical Theological Society by a 70% vote.
Among other things, Geisler noted: “He denies that the saints were literally resurrected after Jesus died as reported in Matthew 27, and so on.”
Do you agree with this majority decision against Gundry’s membership of ETS, and how much different is the Mike Licona’s controversy from the Robert Gundry’s?
