A Parable of Kingdom Intellectuals

 

Reentering the ring of Western universities years after one gets cancelled.

“I won't deny it, I'm a street thinker.”

“Good to see you old friend” **Reunion with an old colleague after years. Friendly philosophical sparring practice. One makes an impulsive remark, speaking before thinking.** “Still verbally reckless.”

“This tournament of ideas in secular academia isn't what it seems. We have to be ready. To take on Bison aka Bull (1 Kings 3:16-28). It’s no longer an honourable & fair exchange of ideas (Luke 10:1-8, 19-26). It's an ideological street fight.”

Random bystanding professor’s comments -> “Everyone keeps going on about your meaty analogies having a kick to them… I don't see what the big deal is.”

Fellow Kingdom intellectual observing his colleague debate: “I'm positive, for a few seconds, an out-of-body experience of divine reasoning, shot out his mental grasp!" (Daniel 5:11)
