Do they have to be dead to be avatarized?

Yes; everyone knows the living can't be advanced to avatar-hood.

When heresy rises in an evangelical body, it is never frank and open. It always begins by skulking, and assuming a disguise. Its advocates, when together, boast of great improvements, and congratulate one another on having gone greatly beyond the ‘old dead orthodoxy,’ and on having left behind many of its antiquated errors: but when taxed with deviations from the received faith, they complain of the unreasonableness of their accusers, as they ‘differ from it only in words.’ This has been the standing course of errorists ever since the apostolic age. Samuel Miller, Introductory essay, The Articles of the Synod of Dort (1841).

Are you sure? He hasn't written much lately. And, with his personality, his posts could keep coming for a few days after death (sort of like fingernails growing on dead people).

Mega Dittos on the Francis Schaeffer avatar! It's like being on a stamp, a sign of the person's influence.

There are a number of Puritans that will be added (when I have the time) before Francis Schaeffer but I appreciate the suggestion.

Hi nicnap! On the bar at the top of the page, there's User CP. Click on it, and on the left side of page you will see 'Edit Avatar' Click on it. At the bottom of the page that comes up, you will see a custom avatar box. There is a option for url for another website, but I use the upload image from my computer. The browse button works great! I just click on the image on my computer, hit the save changes button, and voila! Your new avatar is on your posts. Enjoy. Francis Schaeffer is good stuff. It's nice to know of a fellow Schaefferite!!

Based on his comments, I think that Timothy would appreciate a Karl Barth Avatar. In my humble opinion, he is not the kind of person who should be avatarized on PB. But, you know Grymir, he is sooooo incorrigible!

Thanks for the idea DMcFadden! Now the question is, which was more annoying to PB members, Rush or Karl?

Here are a few that would work Nick. Just right click on the image and hit properties. Then highlight and copy the url in location on the properties screen. Then open your Control Panel on the PB and paste it in your Edit avatar page.

Better pic of Matthew Poole.

If he is reformed, I am jumping ship. Are you serious Dennis? People actually call him reformed? Even though I am part of the RCA, I have been rebuked for insisting to our General Synod to break ties the the Schullerites.

His son is too slick for me to even look at.
