Also, on a different note... this is a great forum. Only on the Puritan Board can one be a "Klinean"!  | This is not an accurate statement that those who hold to Cov. of Works / Cov. of Grace believe that that world is not worth redeeming. I believe very strongly in this hermeneutic and am a post-millenialist. I think this is a false characterization. | I did not say that all who hold to the COW/COG believe the world is not worth redeeming. I said that the Klineans emphasize it in such a way as to go in that direction. No doubt there are more sober Theonomists who reject mono-covenantalism too and thus reject the tendency toward the Federal Vision stuff.
Again, I was summarizing the broad tendencies that each go to with their particular leanings and concerns. I think most in the Reformed camp these days would find themselves somewhere in the middle. |
Thanks, Patrick. I was responding to Scott's statement that indicated this was the cae, but I appreciate your clarification. I happen to like much of Kline's teaching, but I can see how your point.
