For some reason which neither Joe Carter nor I can understand I cannot access the blog Evangelical Outpost; I always receive the following error message, from the home page and from any individual post:
Forbidden
You don’t have permission to access / on this server.Additionally, a 403 Forbidden error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.
Apache/1.3.37 Server at www.evangelicaloutpost.com Port 80
Anyone know why? Anyone else get the same response?
But thanks to Eddie of Kouya Chronicle I was able to read the main part of this post about being critical of others’ theology etc. Actually at least the part Eddie quotes seems to be taken from this 2005 post, for which I found a Google cache.
Maybe I can at times be a bit of what Anthony Bradley is said to call a “wife beater”. Perhaps Lingamish feels a bit that I have been beating him. He is not my wife, of course! (Nor is he my gay “civil partner” – I don’t have one, or a wife.) In my defence I can say that the view I beat him about was “heretical or likely to lead someone away from salvation”, and so I can claim to be justified in fighting tooth and nail about that. But on lesser matters, just like Joe Carter,
I find that I just don’t have the stomach for those old arguments anymore. I’m still willing to discuss doctrinal differences. But now I’m less sure that I’m standing on the right side of scripture.
When I tried the link you’ve provided, my Macaffee kicked in and I got:
evangelicaloutpost.com may cause a breach of browser security.
Why were you redirected to this page? When we tested, this site attempted to make unauthorized changes to our test PC by exploiting a browser security vulnerability. This is a serious security threat which could lead to an infection of your PC.
I don’t understand the rest of your post. 🙂
Pam, thanks for reporting this. I will pass the info on to Joe Carter.
As for the rest of the post, you need to read Eddie’s first. Perhaps that was a cop out, but I didn’t want to simply copy his long quote.
I get the same 403 error.
The website comes up fine for me in Iowa, USA. 😉
I can’t duplicate the problem (and I’m running Norton Antivirus, not MacAfee).
On the wife-beating issue, two comments.
1. The 39 Articles were approved, “For the avoiding of Diversities of Opinions”, and for Anglicans therefore ought to at least provide a benchmark “for the Establishing of Consent Touching True Religion”.
2. Evangelicals need to get out an evangelize. That takes the mind off controversies with others.

Indeed! I try to concern myself only with controversies which impede evangelism. But we all need to be aware that making a fuss about these issues can be overall more of an impediment that what we are making a fuss about.
Hi Peter,
I get the 403-Forbidden error messages right to this day. However, I discovered I can work around this by visiting http://www.proxy.org and letting them re-direct me. I noticed that I receive the 403-forbidden messages both from my work ISP and my home ISP.

Thanks, Kev. I too still get the 403 message. But your tip does seem to work.
