Not totally. When his reasonings are related to a character issue, his own character does become relevant. It’s one thing to look at the character of a person trying to reason a math proof or something. But it’s another to look at the character of the person claiming a fornicating-outside-of-marriage Jesus (a character issue) is theologically no big deal. The character of a person arguing a character point provides a framework for the basis of his viewpoint.
