I want us to keep our eye on the ball, which is the upcoming trial of Louisiana Presbytery before the Standing Judicial Commission. I have been writing about my deep concerns that the desire of some in the PCA to get at Steve Wilkins is so profound that they are willing to take out a …
Mudgobbing and Deadcatting
I am not going to spend a great of time today answering this — it is Thanksgiving after all — but I thought I should let you know about it, and make two quick observations. First, our FV critics are so bent on pursuing their particular “defense of the gospel” that they are willing to …
A Whole Lot Creepier Than I Remember It
Okay, I want to go up the stairs one at a time here. Discussion of the ins and outs of this is continuing over here, for those who are interested. Let’s begin with first principles — the basic one being the presumption of innocence for the accused. This is not some secular American ideal that …
Let Me Think About It, No
A couple notes. First, please allow me to review what is actually being done to Louisiana Presbytery, all for the sake of getting at Steve Wilkins. And second, I want to explain what I am doing about it here and why. In doing this I am not giving anything away, because for those with a …
Gorgonzola Cheese
Bill Lyle, a member of the Standing Judicial Commission, has posted a comment over at Green Bagginses. Go here, and read comment #8. I read through this comment with great interest. While he doesn’t put the thing quite as starkly as Bob Mattes does, the result is still judicially outrageous. He says: “It will be …
In A Clinch With the Tarbaby
Bob Mattes continues to try to explain this thing. We are (possibly) coming up on the first actual trial in this mess, which we will have if Louisiana Presbytery pleads “not guilty.” But Louisiana Presbytery will head into that trial with the body trying her already holding to a “strong presumption of guilt.” Let’s put …
Standing Google Commission
Let me begin this by noting that I am a six-day creationist, so nothing in this comparison should be taken further than a simple illustration. In the Scopes monkey trial, the State of Tennessee won, and the creationist position was upheld. But the creationists had the misfortune to have H.L. Mencken in attendance, filing regular …
Down in our Hearts!
This is a comment I made over at Green Baggins: And I claim no special knowledge of things BCO. What I do claim to know is that Steve Wilkins is a minister in good standing in the PCA, and hence his bad standing in the PCA cannot justly be used against Louisiana Presbytery. That doesn’t …
As Presbyterian As Britney Spears
I tried to make this point in the comments section over at Green Baggins, but it got lost somewhere in cyberville. So I’ll just amplify it, and make the point here. There is a very deft move being made in the strategy against Louisiana Presbytery, and I would like everyone to be looking at it …
Limbo Off To Limbo?
Check out Tim Bayly on how Rome is positioning itself to send Limbo off to Limbo. Right near the end of this fun article, Tim asks this question of the FV: Remembering that the Federal Vision is “all about the children,” I’d like to see F-V proponents critically engage the Commission’s report. For instance, would …
