How Kuyper Addresses Fellow Christians Mischaracterizing and Misrepresenting His Teachings. From Common Grace, Vol. 3. #BibleCn #RelevantToday
1. Kuyper exposes how his accusers read him superficially. “It shows that perhaps a few of our expositions, which we have published since 1878 and over the last twenty years, were read only superficially and perhaps not even read through to the end; however, such readers surely have not followed us in our writings. We dare to venture that a verdict has been rendered on our expositions concerning common grace without adequate knowledge of those expositions” (3). “We do think that we are permitted to ask the question as to whether it is good, or reasonable, or responsible to pronounce such a contrary verdict, which is not based on a knowledge of the facts” (3).
2. Kuyper Explains How Mischaracterizations Impact Others: Because of these public false accusations, “Since 1892 in particular, we have had believers from other circles confess to us that in the past they had been systematically warned against our writings and consequently had harbored the most painful suspicions against our alleged ‘undermining’ of the truth. Yet, once they personally came into contact with our writings, they confessed to what extent they had been misled by ministers and had condemned what they in fact did not know. But after they had come to understand it, our teaching appeared to be entirely in agreement with God’s Word, speaking to their hearts and broadening their vision in extraordinary ways. One of these individuals even wrote to us to tell us that he was still busily removing the weeds that had sprouted from the evil seed of misjudgment that he himself formerly had sown so lavishly” (3).
3. Kuyper publicly defends his teachings by publicly labeling the mischaracterizations as: “an injustice,” “an absurd notion,” “inexplicable,” “utterly false,” entirely unwarranted,” “absurdities,” “spurious rumor.” “No greater injustice could be done to the present author than to attribute to him—and criticize him for—the supposed claim that divine revelation applies only to believers. We acknowledge that this absurd notion is present in our world, but we still find it inexplicable that seemingly knowledgeable authors impute such a notion to us as if it really represented our true convictions, which it does not…. “…this sort of utterly false and entirely unwarranted view of our position…,” “absurdities of this spurious rumor” (157, 158).
4. Kuyper expresses disappointment in people not defending him publicly. “What’s more, someone who is fairly well acquainted with what we have published in the past should be willing to shield us from such an outrageous charge” (157).
5. Kuyper calls out the lovelessness of the false accusations. “Our writings on common grace were attacked in a none-too-gentle manner to cast reproach on the Free University” (1). “They resort to bitter denunciations” (2). “And it definitely is not a sign of brotherly love when these sorts of allegations not only are voiced but even find a wider bearing in broader circles unfamiliar with our views” (157).
6. Rather than mischaracterizing others, Kuyper focuses on a positive presentation of the truth. “We simply acknowledge that this spurious rumor has come to our attention. We will limit ourselves to further expounding in a positive manner the position we have always held—a position that simply cannot be subject to doubt for any Christian believer” (158).

Charlie Chaplin was not only a comedian, but also a great thinker and a wise man. His messages are still relevant today and we can learn from them by watching his videos.

@mad_davenport I mean...there must have been a few good moments in there. And really we are more talking the western power cultures as well. The faith has been growing in beautiful ways amongst the poor and powerless since Jesus stood betweenMary Magdalene and the Pharisees. #relevanttoday

Vanity and pride are different things, though the words are often used synonymously. A person may be proud without being vain. Pride relates more to our opinion of ourselves; vanity, to what we would have others think of us. #janeaustin #relevanttoday #youtubers

Strangely similar language in this headline to 18thC theories of maternal imagination! Society, maybe we still need to talk about imprinting and explore the contemporary contexts... hmmm lots of ideas about #histmed #relevanttoday @Preg_Research
This is absolutely the last thing mothers need to hear when they are struggling, especially during the current pandemic. Not to mention the lack of any evidence to back it up. (THREAD)
