Apparently the PCA is considering how to address the Federal Vision / Aubern Avenue Theology problem today. May God give the presbyters wisdom to distinguish error from truth, and to do so with the appropriate balance of firmness and gentleness.
Having seen many comments on the issue, I'm interested to see what the PCA will say, and even more interested in how they will say it. If I had to wager, I'm inclined to suspect that they will say that the issue needs further study, although many of the doctrinal statements presented by FV/AAT are troubling.

Comment Guidelines:
1. Thanks for posting a comment. Without you, this blog would not be interactive.
2. Please be polite. That doesn't mean you have to use kid gloves, but please try not to flame others, even if they are heretics, infidels, or worse.
3. If you insult me, I'm more likely to delete your comment than if you butter me up. After all, I'm human. I prefer praise to insults. If you prefer insults, there's something wrong with you.
4. Please be concise. The comment box is not your blog. Your blog is your blog. If you have a really long comment, post it on your blog and post a short summary of it here.
5. Please don't just spam. It's one thing to be concise, it's another thing to simply use the comment box to advertise.
6. Please note, by commenting here, you are relinquishing your (C) in your comments to me.
7. Remember that you will give an account on judgment day for your words, including those typed in comment boxes. Try to write so you will not be ashamed if it is read back before the entire world.
8. Stay on topic. If your comment has nothing to do with the post, email it to me (my email can be obtained through my blogger profile), or simply don't post it.
9. Don't post as "Anonymous." If you are going to post anonymously, at least use some kind of recognizable "handle," so we can tell you apart from all the other anonymous folks. (This is moot at the moment, since recent abuse has forced me to turn off "anonymous" commenting.)
10. Do unto others as you would have them do unto you; and abstain from doing to others what you would not wish upon yourself.
If you have not done so, I would suggest reading the suggested material here: http://apologus.notsorry.net/2007/06/08/pca-report-links/

I guess I'm becoming closed minded and/or apathetic in my old age... either that, or I'm simply tired of arguing.
ReplyDeleteI see this stuff and I can only sadly shake my head and "cluck" softly to myself.
It seems that the history of Man is a cycle of pride/presumed self-sufficiency... followed by God having to give Man a dope slap... followed by Reformation... followed by gradual slippage into pride and presumed self-sufficiency again...
Man was created by God.
Man left God.
God revealed Himself to Man.
Man left God.
God destroyed man save 8.
God revealed Himself to Man.
Man left God.
God sent prophets.
Man left God.
God sent Christ.
Man left God.
When will it end?
