Interview with Webster King Part 2

Just finished transcribing Part 2 of Our Interview with Webster King. Sorry it took such a long time, the tapes are of low quality, and so we were trying to make sure they were as accurate as possible. The mp3 version will be on sale at Aomin for $6.00 as soon as we can make that available

Dr. Oakley: So you were slightly apprehensive, initially, but once you learned that there was no visible temporal, or earthly consequences for your actions, you decided to double down on deceit.

Mr. King: Absolutley, plus its a great way to make money

Dr. Oakley: I could learn a thing or two from you.

Mr. King: Well, its not that hard to be honest, the Church Fathers' words are available for anyone willing to hack it out of context. In this book i've described the procedure in detail, so that any unsuspecting reader would easily be taken in. You'd be surprised at how many Romans we've ensnared.

Dr. Oakley: haha, sweeeet!...

Mr. King: Take Athanasius for example, he....

Dr. Oakley: Oh no,no,no,no.

Mr. King: What?

Dr. Oakley: Cyril of Alexandria had already warned against using Athansius for this type of apologetics in the context of others twisting his own speech: "When some of those who are accustomed to turn from the right, twist my speech to their views, I pray your holiness not to wonder; but be well assured that the followers of every heresy gather the occasions of their error from the God-inspired Scriptures, corrupting in their evil minds the things rightly said through the Holy Spirit, and drawing down upon their own heads the unquenchable flame.Since we have learned that certain, after having corrupted it, have set forth the orthodox epistle of our most distinguished Father Athanasius to the Blessed Epictetus, so as thereby to injure many; therefore it appeared to the brethren to be useful and necessary that we should send to your holiness a copy of it from some correct ancient transcripts which exist among us."

Mr. King: So what?

Dr. Oakley: Well look, i'd rather be safe than sorry, I don't mind distorting other Church Fathers, i'm just not confortable with either Cyril or Athanasius.

Mr. King: Ok? Thats your own cup of tea. Money talks buddy.
