I just posted this as a comment on Scott Clark’s blog.
Dr. Clark,
Late Wednesday night, you posted this on your blog. “Mr Wilson’s doctrine of justification through “living” or “obedient” faith is the very doctrine that we rejected in the Reformation” (emphasis mine).
After saying I follow the Romanist ordo, you also say, “Mr Wilson agrees in principle with Rome. I don’t mean to say that he intends to agree with Rome, but I do mean to say that he can’t help it. He, like the rest of the Federal Visionists, has set up a system of justification that is (they think) guaranteed to produce the desired result, sanctity.” So here you say I unwittingly follow the Tridentine ordo.
After this was challenged by a number of individuals commenting on your blog, some of whom asked you to produce any citation where I had said anything of the kind, and after I again denied holding to this in any manner whatever, yesterday you said, “Mr Wilson is on the fence. He wants to fiddle with orthodoxy without being tagged for doing it.”
Earlier I was denying, and now I am just fiddling. Are you able to produce a quote where I am doing either? And does this statement from you that I am on the fence amount to a retraction of your earlier statements of my position?
