{Admin note: post moved here from the Warren thread to keep that thread on track.}
Hello Semper Fidelis,
While it may be true that there was a broad brush statement, it may also be appropriate to point out that Mr. Ritchie's information is not entirely incorrect (as the post from heidelblog served to illustrate:
Theonomy and Federal Vision: Separated at Birth? « Heidelblog)
While not agreeing with the tone of Mr. Ritchie's post, or the broad-brushiness of it, there is something of substance behind the post. There are people who have been opponents of theonomy in the past, and the FV has been one way to link theonomy with an unfortunate error. Some have reluctantly made the link, others have happily made the link, others have not made the link. I think his point was that the Kleinian school of thought (which, if I'm not misled, is more popular at WSC than at other places) may find proponents who are over-eager to make the link.
Whether he's right or not, I can't say, but I can say that it might be a bit much to accuse Mr. Ritchie of violating the 9th cmd, and I would pray that the two of you are able to reconcile this publicly.
Godspeed,
Adam

BTW a lot of the WSCAL two kingdomers are probably happy with the association Warren made since they seem to dump on Kuyper and Kuyperianism every chance they get. | Yes, I often think to myself that WSC must be so happy that the FV has emerged, so that they can link anyone who believes in societal reformation (who is not a pietist) as being similar to the FV. | This kind of quote is un-called for. Whether or not you agree with some of the theological inclinations of the men at WSC, they are a group of thoughtful men that can hardly be painted with such a large brush. This is irresponsible and a violation of the 9th Commandment. It will not be tolerated here. |
