Hey, ’sit ok if I lie about you?

August 22, 2008 by Steve

I didn’t know that seminaries that hold to the Westminster Confession and the Three Forms of Unity tolerated professors who engage in slander. Did you?

Well, live and learn as they say.

Seems like he’d have better things to do though.

Pastor Wilkins,

If you’d like an example of where Klinean covenant theology will take one read post #27 here:

Now, choosing whose law we value, God’s or man’s (and who we vote for and why), is a little different than whether I brush my teeth with a 3 fingered grip or a 4 fingered grip even though Dr Hart gave them equal weight.

I wonder if Dr Clark told his corresponder that even if these falsehoods about the godly people in the CREC were true that since Jesus doesn’t really have all authority it really doesn’t matter. Since even if Dr Hart was just positing a position when he mentioned Hume in the post that I linked to, his reasoning ultimately is “Humian” and man’s finite brain rules.

I just listened to *Unto You & Your Children* you did a superb job

Thank you for your faithful service

So there is no misunderstanding I was using sarcasm when I said “since Jesus doesn’t really have all authority”. Even brushing our teeth belongs to the Lord

That is one problems with blogs that some expressions can be easily misunderstood.

Steve,

Calving pegged S Clark when he wrote:

“Not many of you should become teachers, my brothers, for you know that we who teach will be judged with greater strictness.” James 3:1

“James here refers not to the men who perform public duties in the Church, but to those who usurp to themselves the right to pass censure on others. These are the critics, who like to be regarded as the shepherds of morality. They turn the fault-finding look of superiority upon others. Alas, it is an innate condition of the human make-up, to make one’s reputation by scoring off other folk.

Note that James is not discouraging those fraternal admonitions, which the Spirit so much and so often presses upon us, but is condemning an excessive passion, which springs from self-seeking and pride, whereby one man inveighs against his fellow, speaks against him, sneers at him, snaps and rummages about to find something to use to his harm–be it but hearsay.

It is usually the case that persistent critics of this sort make wild claims in hunting down the faults of others. Such is the immoderate and arrogant behavior from which James bids us to turn back.

Such critics, after all, give themselves a hard standard when they force everyone’s words and deeds to the utmost rigor; they do not find pardon, who cannot bear to pardon another.” –John Calvin
