Anyone read this? http://www.modernreformation.org/def...ssRead&var5=99 I thought it was very good. Horton seems to do a good job of saying what people think in a much more learned and eloquent manner.

(Not sure if this is in the right forum though. I thought the gnosticism qualified it for this one.)

Horton is right on in his critiques of culture and evangelicalism.

""This view is so commonplace that it seems odd to hear it challenged. Nevertheless, the church fathers, Protestant Reformers, and orthodox theologians have always directed us with the Scriptures, outside of ourselves, where God has chosen to meet with and to reconcile strangers"

Michael Horton (The White Horse Inn) very frequently correctly diagnosis the sickness, but I would like to hear more of the *treatment. For example, O.k. we have a problem, but now what do we do? How is the Reformed faith going to bring us back to true Biblical teaching? This is the question that they should be asking, but we don't here it from them. Why not? It needs to be challenge. I would preferred that Michale Horton, in a brotherly manner, directly confront Chuck Smith or Joel Osteen personally (Paul did it to Peter and we are commanded from Scriptures). Horton can write his books targetting these folks, but if they never come across them, then, I don not think it makes a difference to them.

*The treatment, of course is the Good News understood correctly from the Scriptures.

"Indeed, one might say that as far as the doctrine of justification
is concerned, if you are not on the road to Wittenberg or Geneva, then the old proverb is indeed true: all roads lead to Rome." Carl Trueman

"In short, "the Calvinist deity, first brought to America by the Puritans, has remarkably little in common with the versions of God now apprehended by what calls itself Protestantism in the United States.""

Verily verily.

"All of us stumble in many ways, but if anyone is never at fault in what he says, then he is mature, able to control his whole body."(James 3:2)

That's because what goes by the name "Protestant" today in these United States of America has little in common with the Protestant Reformation.
