I admire Herman Hoeksema's methods. Although he was ultimately proved wrong about Common Grace, his harassement campaign against Janssen did successfully get a Liberal Professor fired.
If I've said it once I've said it a dozen times, I can't abide attending church with someone if they haven't told me, graphically, how they like to have sex. That's what we mean by being a confessional body
I support the use of gravamen to achieve church unity through discipleship. I got kicked out of Calvary for saying Zacharius Ursinus meant to except puppy play from Q&A 108. They said it was blasphemy, but I think with enough time and discussion, they will see that I was right.
@trevormouw Lol, it's true. Reading in the Banner about a gay couple 3 states away who love God would be the _real_ oppression. It's exactly as bad as being kicked out of the church for loving and being supported by your husband - maybe even worse!
Synod passes all recommendations of Committee 4D which responds to Overtures 40, 71, and 71. These recommendations related to harm and care for LGBTQ+ people. #crcsynod
@DordtPresident Oh thank heavens. I was concerned it was a gun that had rendered those children's bodies unrecognizable. Turns out it was just weed, fully legal in the liberal state of Texas
Glad you didn't imply it was caused by freely available unregulated guns, that'd be irresponsible of you
I agree with Kevin, the victims are actually the bad guys. It's good that Kevin ran cover for CJ to prevent due process for Sovereign Grace victims. Only thing worse than dozens of people being sexually abused by church leaders would be those church leaders losing their clout
“Guilty until proven innocent” is not a Christian way to pursue justice, nor is it loving our neighbors as we would want to be loved.

The ARC pitches itself as a new and innovative church, an ally to the burgeoning churches of the Global South. That's why they poopoo'ed the Belhar confession on race and filled their ranks with oldest most reactionary motherfuckers you ever met.
Looking forward to the Alliance of Reformed Churches chomping up a bunch of these lukewarm RCA congregations. I think it is important that we live in harmony with churches who ordain women but form a new denomination to kick out gay clergy even though I believe both are heresy
The ARC makes the Great Lakes Confession mandatory but the Belhar confession optional because having gay friends is unacceptable, but supporting white supremacy is optional
When I want the straight dope about Critical Race Theory, I like to turn to a guy who still thinks Alabama's secession from the union over slavery was the right choice and whose "Institute of Moral Law" is run by Roy Moore's wife
@DordtPresident Especially given that you have not even read the book, this presents an especially shallow interest in or understanding of the issues at play.
I'm glad to see Erik consistently doing the hard work of a Christian thought leader by just retweeting WSJ opinion pieces. When I want the straight dope on climate change, I don't go to the IPCC, I look to the guy Trump recruited to staff up his "red team" of climate skeptics
Given Koonin’s resume...the fact that he’s written a climate book entitled, “Unsettled?”—I’m pre-ordering....we need to have authentic conversations on this topic. “How a Physicist Became a Climate Truth Teller: @HolmanJenkins interviews Steven Koonin” https://t.co/QviPiEIjsp
@DordtPresident I hope you learn some stuff from his book, and I hope it is faithful to the science. But I wish you didn't use your official capacity as ambassador to the school to present a reformed view of science as one which only engages when presented favorably to right wing policy leanings
