Pernicious proceedings at Westminster Abbey

One (of many) book I read in preparation to writing the article exposing the heresies of the Westminster Confession of Faith was Robert Letham’s “The Westminster Assembly: Reading Its Theology In Historical Context.” It was quite informative, especially with all the research that is being done by Dr. Chad Van Dixhoorn on the Assembly minutes.

Counting noses and respecting faces

From the “Wicked Westminster Confession” thread at The Fighting Fundamentalist Forums. This particular post was around April, 2010: Originally Posted by Pietros I could care less what the WCF says. I believe the Bible. I know that there are some places that the WCF is a little off, but to call it evil is to [...]

Poisonous Pen

Some more from the Fighting Fundamentalist Forums. This one includes my comments regarding certain theologians who wrote with a poisonous pen. Originally Posted by Wilderness Be nice to those who authored the WCF, after all they did include the following clause in the WCF ……….. “All synods or councils since the apostles’ times, whether general [...]

Respecters of men

More of my interaction with members of The Fighting Fundamentalist Forums that took place sometime in January of 2010: Originally Posted by Ask Mr. Religion Of course, when you can interact at the same level with Shaw and/or Hodge on the same topic, perhaps some may even consider what you have to say.

Caused to commit adultery

“The early Christian writers’ interpretation of the divorce texts remained the standard view of the church in the West until the sixteenth century when Erasmus suggested a different view that was adopted by Protestant theologians” (Heth & Wenham, Jesus and Divorce, p.73). In other words, the view of the so-called “early church” was that ALL [...]

Westminster Assembly in historical context

I posted my article The Wicked Westminster Confession to The Fighting Fundamental Forums some time ago. The following is what one person named “Ask Mr. Religion” said regarding my interaction with the teachings of the Westminster men: Of course, when you can interact at the same level with Shaw and/or Hodge on the same topic, [...]

Vessels of honor and dishonor

In III.7 of (Of God’s Eternal Decree) the Westminster Confession of Faith 2 Timothy 2:19-20 is cited as a proof-text: “Nevertheless the foundation of God standeth sure, having this seal, The Lord knoweth them that are his. And, Let every one that nameth the name of Christ depart from iniquity. But in a great house [...]

James White vs. Robert Sungenis

I was just going through my e-mail drafts folders and found the following (I don’t know which day was “todays” Dividing Line, nor do I remember if I ever posted this to the OTC list before; new comments by me are between brackets): When I was a lost Calvinist I attended a debate at the [...]

Putrid Puritanism

Marc’s post pertaining to the “putrid Puritanism” of Matthew Mead called to my remembrance others of this putrid Puritan Mind: John Piper is heavily influenced by men like Jonathan Edwards. Edwards, in his work Religious Affections, had many footnotes of Thomas Shepherd’s Parable of the Ten Virgins and so I infer that Shepherd probably heavily [...]

Owen, Edwards, and abiding in the Doctrine of Christ (part 2)
