Semi-retiring electronics engineer with Physics foundation. Christian. Amateur philosopher. Especially like Hegel, Wittgenstein, and van Til, but also others.
When a group like the PCA, being half Presbytery and half good ole boys’ club, passes something like the Glaser Manifesto, it can not only be forgiven, but even admired for its genius. “Hey Harry, you don’t say that IQ is literally a divine attribute, uncreated and Immutable in all eternity, right?,” wink wink. Harry, smiling: “of course not!” PCA: “Okay so don’t worry, you’re in.”
But if the OPC as the serious-minded elder brother were to pass such lunacy, it would be a serious dereliction.
@RekietaLaw Her slander of every witness was in view of a particular theory involving an elaborate conspiracy. Now she wants to say just kidding?
As a madman who casteth firebrands, arrows, and death, so is the man that deceiveth his neighbour, and saith, Am not I in sport?
Prov 26:18-19
To psychologize the anti-kinist frenzy now eating up the nominally conservative church: white middle-class baby boomers are trying to justify their own lifelong betrayal of their ancestors AND descendants by eliminating anything that reminds them of their sin.
@kinisman True, but this like so many of our seemingly intractable problems will be solved in a long weekend when the Leader comes.
The primal can be defaced but not destroyed.
@HistoryBoomer It was “socialist” the same way FDR’s New Deal was.
But at the end of the day, why fight over the name? (Whether for or against the program.)
@TexasPreacher Slipping "hyper-cessationism" in (as if "hyper-" is a thing, and as if cessationism puts one on the side of social respectability) is weaselly.
