I have resumed my duties of listening to the Westminster West conference tapes, and have made it all the way to the Q & A. Imagine my surprise when these worthy gentlemen (in effect) all denied the imputation of the active obedience of Christ. A question was asked which quoted my statement from Credenda, to …
Gone For a While, Back in a Bit
Heading out of town for a week or thereabouts, and I don’t know if I will have Internet access there. If I do, I will post as I can, but I am afraid that my pick-up and CD player are staying right here in Idaho. Therefore, I will not be yelling at my windshield for …
Yelling At My Windshield, Part 12
Dr. Hywel Jones begins his lecture by noting that in the weeks and months to come, some of us on the other side will “cry foul.” And that is precisely what I have been doing in these posts — crying foul. Dr. Jones goes on to say that when someone is struck under the fifth …
Yelling At My Windshield, Part 11
Finishing up Dr. Godfrey’s tape, I realized that it was not until the last couple minutes that I encountered any doctrinal or theological disagreement. Of course, he was wrong about the Federal Vision throughout, but his treatment of Paul and Calvin was admirable. Would that he handled what we have written with the same care. …
Yelling At My Windshield, Part Ten
Robert Godfrey raises a great question concerning objections to Pauline theology. If what we teach is not generating the same objections that Paul’s teaching did, then the chances are good that we are not preaching the same thing he did. If our preaching of grace does not provoke the charge of antinomianism from the legalists, …
Auburn Avenue Hubbub (AAH) Cool Quote #9
“His covenant with Adam was gracious in character, sovereignly imposed, mutually binding, called for trust and submission on Adam’s part, and carried sanctions (blessings or curse). When Adam fell into sin, God mercifully re-established a covenantal relationship with him, one in which the gracious and promissory character of the covenant was accentuated even further — …
Yelling At My Windshield, Part Nine
I am a good chunk of the way through Robert Godfrey’s talk on sola fide, and even drove around a little extra at lunch to hear more of it. Really fine talk, actually, and I am not saying this satirically at all, although there is some irony involved. If anyone wants to know what DW’s …
Yelling At My Windshield, Part Eight
I finished listening to Dr. Clark’s lecture on the active obedience of Christ. Jeepers. I never knew I believed and taught such things as alleged, and we here at Christ Church have launched a full scale investigation to determine why it was that I was never informed.
Yelling At My Windshield, Part Seven
Dr. Clark makes the statement that we bad guys are teaching somewhere that Christ lived, not a life of perfect condign merit, but rather a life of okay congruent merit. Where we affirmed this, I am sure I don’t know. Maybe one of us is writing for WTJ under a pen name. And maybe he is …
Yelling At My Windshield, Part Six
I am mostly through Dr. Clark’s talk on the active obedience of Christ. In one part of his lecture, he gives a great long list of theologians who affirm and believe in the active obedience of Christ. Missing from this section of his lecture was a sentence like the following: “Douglas Wilson, well known advocate of …
