Just posted the following to Warfield:
Hi All,
Given that James Jordan's comments were posted here, its only right that his apology on Ron Gleason's blog also be posted.
Gentlemen,
I hereby ask your forgiveness for my several overheated posts over the last few days. I have deleted all but the first, which is the only thing I had any right to post to you; to wit: that there is nothing wrong with anyone's commenting on the public actions and behavior of certain parties in the PCA, behavior that is public and that some regard as shocking and scandalous.
I was out of line in my comments here, partly because the rhetoric I employed is not appropriate in a public blog, and partly because, being neither in the PCA nor a presbyterian, anything beyond a general expression of concern or horror at how these affairs are being conducted is inappropriate.
I allowed my friendship with persons I believe are being wrongfully persecuted to inflame my language, and I wrote in anger, and I should not have done so.
So, please forgive me for having troubled your waters, and be assured that it will not happen again.
Sincerely,
James B. Jordan
Gary Johnson has asked the rather important question if (as was the case with Reggie Kidd) Jordan will be issuing a personal apology to the men he strongly defamed such as R.C. Sproul, and the SJC.
Also, I'm wondering how these recent overheated posts differ substantialy from the prior pattern of defamations, which have included
this piece published in Biblical Horizons which referred to
"the Warfield List (where idiocy abounds)" and stated:
Quote:
| "Strange’s essay is just a summary report of the OPC Committee report mentioned above. That Report is one of the most amazing series of mindless misreadings and outright deceptions that I think I have ever encountered. It is not far from the kind of internet theoporn that oozes from the Warfield List and other cybergutters. There is no way I’m going to bore you with all the evil contained in this report: If you are really interested, go to www.federalvision.com, where you can read the Report itself and then numerous essays pointing out its stupidities." |
Do Allan Strange, the OPC, and the nearly 700 members of the Warfield List not qualify for an apology and a retraction as well?Your Servant in Christ,
Andy Webb
