It seems probably to have grown out of some good criticism of current Christian thinking, but perhaps to have gone too far in formulating such a clear-cut organized answer to it. They are accused of at least coming close to "sacramentalism" in their formulation, I see, which I guess is my poster's reason for calling it Romanizing. <BR/><BR/>I doubt I'll get interested in it enough to understand what it's really all about, and it doesn't appeal to me, but I really don't like it when someone like my poster calls another Christian "a dishonest man." You need far far more evidence for such an accusation than the fact that he holds a theological position you dislike, or that may even be borderline heresy. And even then you are setting yourself up as a mindreader. He may be wrong but there is no ground for calling him dishonest.Faith https://www.blogger.com/profile/00064746447414555577noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8290715222068932619.post-8705624780467887462008-08-24T22:43:00.000-07:002008-08-24T22:43:00.000-07:00He's a Textus Receptus person, not a KJV-only supp...He's a Textus Receptus person, not a KJV-only supporter. <BR/><BR/>I've heard many things against Douglas Wilson, including that he supposedly supports the white supremacists in Idaho where he has his church. But your view of him is new to me. Nothing I've heard about him has been certainly confirmed to me. I used to get his Credenda/Agenda but haven't followed him in years. <BR/><BR/>I never saw anything pro-Rome in his writings but it it isn't relevant to my purposes here. At least as far as this subject goes, I care about the effectiveness of the case against the new versions and his arguments in that issue of C/A are very useful.Faith https://www.blogger.com/profile/00064746447414555577noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8290715222068932619.post-56570078306444685872008-08-24T22:30:00.000-07:002008-08-24T22:30:00.000-07:00I don't know how much you know about some of the p...I don't know how much you know about some of the people you mention, but Doug Wilson, for instance, you should know is not truly a KJV person. To put it in simple terms Wilson is a leader of the Federal Vision movement which is a Romanising movement within Reformed churches and denominations. He does nothing without political motivation to further his various enterprises. (Before he developed Federal Vision he was one of the original Theonomists.) Wilson decided to portray himself as KJV to garner respect among more conservative Christians (just as he took bizarre positions on such things as southern slavery for the same motive -- that one backfired on him though). <BR/><BR/>Wilson is a classic false teacher, a wolf in sheep's clothing. The little leaven of poison he inserts into biblical doctrine can be missed if you are just encountering his 'for show' writings. He's a deeply dishonest man. All the typical sins of Roman Catholic clerics can be found in concentrated form in Doug Wilson.The Puritanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12200009028083050918noreply@blogger.com
