@GeorgeSayour @OrthodoxPC Westminster summarizes God’s Word on a magistrate’s duty. Dangerous to go beyond by prescribing HOW a magistrate is to obey.

Similarly, we can say what a father’s duty is toward his children, but it is dangerous to prescribe HOW he must obey in his peculiar circumstance.

[Scruple Scooper @Neofightus]

@GeorgeSayour @OrthodoxPC Yes, that’s why I’m saying a committee report shouldn’t add to the Standards and cannot be adopted by the church (through GA) without risking altering the meaning of the Standards by adding an interpretation. The Standards are balanced and as clear as they need to be, IMO.

@GeorgeSayour @OrthodoxPC The worthier aspects of Christian Nationalism a discussion of how a person in government, especially a Christian magistrate, ought to apply the commands of Scripture in his vocation and in overseeing his subordinates and subjects and is thus very much a Rom. 14 conscience issue.

[Scruple Scooper @Neofightus]

@GeorgeSayour @OrthodoxPC Any report addressing church-state relations should focus on the CHURCH’s duty toward the State.

Refereeing an interpretive debate regarding the state’s duty crosses into conscience issues and “intermeddl[ing] with civil affairs which concern the commonwealth.” (WCF 31.4)

@FischerKing64 @grok how many new babies have been born to or announced by members of Trump’s cabinet since he was inaugurated in 2025?

@RevJimOPC And we thank you, Rev Stevenson, for the helpful updates along the way.

[Scruple Scooper @Neofightus]

@GeorgeSayour @ReallyOldLife I’m thankful the OPC doesn’t have a culture of online trolls and ecclesiology-by-social-media.

RE Hart is a rare exception. He’d do well to consider WLC 145 in his online discourse, particularly regarding “scoffing, reviling,”and “misconstructing intentions, words, and actions.”

[Scruple Scooper @Neofightus]

The best men in Reformed denominations are busy with the work of the local church. Most have no time for social media, podcasts, or the mess and politics of denominational clericalism dominated by seminarians.

The local church is the whole point of it all.
Stay focused.

[Scruple Scooper @Neofightus]

@GeorgeSayour @ReallyOldLife Hoping the study report(s) that come out of this GA will clarify which parts of the Standards are REALLY important and essential, and which are okay to ignore. That way, we finally know which provisions to enforce by strict subscription. Can’t wait!
