Jim West’s Kobayashi Maru
The Kobayashi Maru is a Starfleet training exercise designed to test the character of cadets in the command track at Starfleet Academy. Supposedly, you cannot beat the test.
The Kobayashi Maru is a no-win scenario.
Jim West has designed his own historical Kobayashi Maru from the Reformation period. He is claiming he will give away a copy of the Reformation Commentary on Scripture: Galatians, Ephesians to anyone that can
Tell me in 100 words in comments below why you believe Zwingli to be the greatest of all the Reformers
Clearly, that argument cannot be made. So we have two choices: Jim is either pulling a prank or trying to trick people into competing in a no-win scenario. Either way we all know how ridiculous it is to argue that Hank Wingzli was the ‘greatest’ Reformer. In 100 words or a million words: it simply can’t be done.
And anyways, as Jim is coming to learn and has confided to me in private, Rob Bell is really the greatest Reformer!


Fabulous!
The greatest Reformer of all time is the Holy Spirit!
is there any way to pull a ‘james t. kirk’ and win the commentary without conceding zwingli as the greatest reformer? as a computer guy, i should be able to figure something out…
You cheat by writing a lengthy comment about how Menno Simons was the greatest reformer, and then just change the name to Zwingli before submitting. Dr. Jewest will never know.
Problem is there’s never a green woman to sleep with in order to cheat a test when you want one.
It’s a Reformation koan.
The correct answer is mu.
I’d venture to say that Hank’s not the worst of the Reformers (*cough* Calvin). And I think that statement puts me in the lead so far.
So your entry would be: “At least he isn’t Calvin”?
Works for me
Hey I have reached 98 words and can’t get the last one. I guess “Kobayashi Maru” makes it come full circle. Yeah….KUMBAYA!
