@Heidelblog01 @RScottClark @heidelcast @HeidelbergRefo1 The Westminster Confession of Faith: The Mosaic Covenant is an administration of the Covenant of Grace.

@TedNordhaus Storage not generation

@Heidelblog01 @RScottClark @heidelcast @HeidelbergRefo1 Perhaps the ordinary way (based on Creational knowledge) is already the distinctively Christian way (about cows and chickens as C. Van Til) would. It’s the common culture that’s following the Christian way.

@Heidelblog01 @RScottClark @heidelcast @HeidelbergRefo1 Are there only two spheres?

[Terry M. Gray @grayt5]

@JeffTaylorLR Does Kline have anything to say about the fact that Christ’s body did not undergo decay/corruption during His time in the tomb?

[Terry M. Gray @grayt5]

@heidelcast @RScottClark Nature and wisdom are created by God. The unbeliever operates on borrowed capital.

[Terry M. Gray @grayt5]

@JeffTaylorLR Mostly lessons from history and actually examinations of so-called doctrinal advancements.

[Terry M. Gray @grayt5]

@RScottClark I’m sure they’d say that King James English and usage is different from today’s.

[Terry M. Gray @grayt5]

@Heidelblog01 @RScottClark He is risen indeed!

[Terry M. Gray @grayt5]

@AP4Liberty Mostly social issues, I’d guess.

[Terry M. Gray @grayt5]

@Heidelblog01 @RScottClark @heidelcast @HeidelbergRefo1 Believed?

[Terry M. Gray @grayt5]

@SaintAust @MichaelHorton_ Flesh here doesn’t mean body. It has to do with our sin nature.

@heidelcast @RScottClark @Heidelblog01 @HeidelbergRefo1 A pseudo quasi is a pseudo.

[Terry M. Gray @grayt5]

@RScottClark @Heidelblog01 @heidelcast @HeidelbergRefo1 I wasn’t suggesting they were equivalent. I was just saying that they are both human compositions.

[Terry M. Gray @grayt5]

@RScottClark @Heidelblog01 @heidelcast @HeidelbergRefo1 The only reference I see is

3. Public Confession of Faith
b. It is also fitting that the congregation as one body confess its common faith, using creeds that are true to the Word of God, such as the Apostles' Creed or the Nicene Creed.

Not exactly part of the ordination vow.

[Terry M. Gray @grayt5]

@RScottClark @Heidelblog01 @heidelcast @HeidelbergRefo1 I’ve been ordained in the OPC. When and how did I subscribe to the ecumenical creeds. I won’t hesitate to say the WC and catechisms agree with the ecumenical creeds, but never did I subscribe to those creeds the way I have in continental Reformed as an officer and as a member.

[Terry M. Gray @grayt5]

@RScottClark @Heidelblog01 @heidelcast @HeidelbergRefo1 The DW wasn’t official when I was in the OPC. It has been revised and made part of the constitution since I was an elder.

[Terry M. Gray @grayt5]

@RScottClark @Heidelblog01 @heidelcast @HeidelbergRefo1 Once during the sermon at the RPCNA the pastor asked “What is God?” and got a nearly unanimous answer from the congregation of the catechism’s answer. We uncatechized college students who didn’t come from the RPCNA background were left in the dark.

[Terry M. Gray @grayt5]

@RScottClark @Heidelblog01 @heidelcast @HeidelbergRefo1 I have found it interesting that the churches that subscribe to the Westminster Standards do not subscribe to the ecumenincal creeds ecclesiastically. When I worshiped in an RPCNA in college, I don’t remember ever reciting a creed as an element of worship—only singing psalms.
