Yes, I said I wasn’t going to post for two weeks or so. But this was just too funny to pass up on.
A Romanian fellow has filed a law suit against God (!) for breach of the contract God made with him via baptism. The Romanian is a murderer, and claims that due to his […]

My father has weighed in on the current PCA troubles on his blog. As a ruling elder in the PCA and ordained minister, his view is vital in the morass of this study committee report. While he is not a Federal Visionary himself (yet - I’m still workin’ on him ), he wants the […]

Rather than move on to a new topic, I want to hit a few more points in defense of the stacked nature of the PCA study committee report on the Federal Vision, which, as we’re on topic, was certainly as stacked as a downtown parking structure at 8 AM. Several of these points are not […]

I’ve been working on a page for Wiki on the Federal Vision since early 2007. My original draft was thought to be too biased (no disagreement there), and so I have revamped it significantly, and provided an Olympic swimming pool sized section of references and quotations. I have endevoured to let the FV folk speak […]

I have argued recently that the PCA study committee report on the FV was, in theological terms, stacked more than Paul Bunyan’s flapjacks. I hope to continue to interact with this report in the future, but another observation just leapt out at me today that I just can’t pass up. Doug Wilson wrote on […]

Well, I’m working my way through Guy Waters’ book The Federal Vision and Covenant Theology, published in 2006. I’m starting to lose interest and I’m not even halfway through. His writing is so clunky and dry I’ve started reading it late at night to conk me out. In the area of writing alone, the Federal […]

In this post, I will begin to interact with the PCA ad interim report that was recently commended to the churches of the PCA. It is my belief that this report is neither as neutral, nor as scholarly accurate, nor at all commendable to anyone. This report will do nothing but to serve as a […]

As I continue to ponder what happened today at the PCA General Assembly concerning the Federal Vision and New Perspective on Paul, I keep running across one metaphor that really compels me.
I just can’t seem to find a place for it in my analysis so far. So I thought I would just use it here […]

This is a continuation of my initial thoughts on the PCA General Assembly response to the Federal Vision ad interim report. Having sat on and thought about the afternoon’s events, and having read a number of initial thoughts from the Federal Visionists themselves, I believe that my response was, while accurate, a little more biting […]

The PCA adopted the ad interim report on the Federal Vision and New Perspective on Paul. This is unfortunate for a number of reasons I hope to address in future posts, but for this one, I am simply going to give my impressions of what went on during the actual debate at the General Assembly.
First, […]
