He Said She Said, Then They All Said (2)

A post from August 2023 generated a record number of responses, many of them intense. I thought it was time to share the entire comment string, which would otherwise go largely unnoticed by our readers, since many were written long after the post’s original publication date. This is the second of two posts.

Many of the commenters are writing in a second language, so some comments are more comprehensible than others. I have cleared up a few typographic errors and inconsistencies in the interest of clarity, which I trust their authors will forgive.

He Said She Said, Then They All Said (1)

Back in August of 2023, in the context of a study on the doctrine of sinless perfectionism, I wrote a post about the Brunstad Christian Church (BCC), a century-old Norwegian denomination that has grown to over 200 churches in 54 countries, with perhaps 1,700 members in North America. The gist of what I had to say was that finding the truth online is a tremendously difficult task these days. Certainly, opinions vary wildly about the BCC and its leadership. I opted to reserve judgment.

The post is called “He Said She Said”, and the response to it has been unusual, intense and exceedingly polarized. If anything, the reaction proves my point: it’s awfully hard to find the truth online these days.
