This is just a convenient way to cast aspersions on their criticisms w/o actually bothering to find out what their agenda is.
I've interacted with Mike online for over 6 years now and I gurantee you that there is noone who has a passion for God's Word like he does. If he is criticizing 40 Days then it's because Warren has habitually pulled scripture out of context in order to make his points.
Abanes seems to have two basic defenses :
– Warren may not have it exactly right but he's not compromising core doctrines so cut him some slack.
– These critics should get a life and stop picking on someone who's trying to reach the lost
So, is Warren somehow above reproach because his ministry has positive aspects? No, and in fact those ministries which Abanes says are worthy of criticisms(WOF, Brownsville, etc) could be said to not compromise core doctrinces and seek to reach the lost. So perhaps he would agree that they shouldn't be picked on either.
Abanes is ultimately unconvincing.
