Hagee is a Calvinist and I am actually a Presbyterian mole in Baptist churches.

I admit I havent read many of Calvin's works but I must have completely missed the statements he made about the Holocaust being God's will to restore Israel.

I kinda thought that was true, Bill. The mole thing, anyway.

Pro 16:33 The lot is cast into the lap; but the whole disposing thereof is of the LORD.

Isa 8:20 To the law and to the testimony: if they speak not according to this word, it is because there is no light in them.

In those first set of words, "Franky Schaeffer loves to make a fool of himself," is that referring to Francis Schaeffer or about someone else?

I'm personally very leery about Chalcedon Foundation, considering CARM's report about its founder, R.J. Rushdoony.

What's a CARM and where does your link say anything specific about Rushdoony?

You would probably be surprised that are several theonomists on this site. I am not a theonomist, however I would not be leery about Rushdoony nor any of the theonomists on this site. I actually have received much understanding as a result of the teachings of theonomists.

CARM is Christian Apologetic Research Ministries. The link is a critic of Theonomy and claims the doctrine arose from Rushdoony's work.

Tim, click on the link and Rushdoony is mentioned right in the first paragraph. And CARM standards for Christian Apologetics & Research Ministry, also the very first set of words on the upper left-hand corner of the link's screen page.

Did you click on the link and read it?

Also, although taken with some grains of salt, Wikipedia's report is equally interesting about Chalcedon Foundation and Rushdoony.

Personally, I would then put Chalcedon Foundation and its proponents in the same theologically distorted boat with Hagee.

Yes, and I read

Which is true, they believe this, and it doesn't bother me.

The only problem here is Hagee isnt in the Theologically Distorted boat, he is in the antichrist boat. He denies Jesus Christ is the messiah.

****AHEM****

This thread will not become a thread about the validity/invalidity of Theonomy or Christian Reconstructionism. That can be hashed out in a new/different thread. Focus on the article at hand, please.

Thanks!

It is God that multiplies our sorrows.... God, as a righteous Judge, does it, which ought to silence us under all our sorrows; as many as they are, we have deserved them all, and more: nay, God, as a tender Father, does it for our necessary correction, that we may be humbled for sin, and weaned from the world by all our sorrows; and the good we get by them, with the comfort we have under them, will abundantly balance our sorrows, how greatly soever they are multiplied. - Matthew Henry

No, it's talking about Francis' Schaeffer's son, who has rejected the Reformed Faith. I think he's Eastern Orthodox now, or something like that.

On that, I didn't know about Hagee. If that's the case, then you're probably correct to sail him off on a different boat.

Oh, please! A Chalcedon blogger, not Chalcedon Foundation, quotes Franky as saying Hagee is a Calvinist. The blogger gave the link to Franky's actual post, which says nothing of the kind.

Franky makes some hyperbolic broadsides against Dispensationalism, incorrectly labeling it as all evangelicals.

Most of what he says about Dispensationalism and its influence on the religious right in this country, is actually true, in my view.

Hagee used to be different too. He used to be. A long time ago before his TBN days. Bad company corrupts your morals. I agree with haiglaw too. But I served. That's all you need to know.

Nice avatar Josh. That's a keeper!!!

I don't know that Hagee has changed, and I certainly would not call him an anti-Christ.

We used to worship there, when in San Antonio, before dispensationalism became so offensive to me.

But as far as I know, Hagee has always been a dispensationalist.

My first pastor, Dr. Duane Spencer, also from San Antonio, was both a dispensationalist and a Calvinist, until 1977 when he rejected dispensationalism and was welcomed into the OPC.

Here are links to two threads where John Hagee's Apostasy has been discussed.
John Hagee: Jesus Did NOT Come to be the Messiah
John Hagee: No Need for Jesus

Antichrist: I write to you, not because you do not know the truth, but because you know it, and because no lie is of the truth. Who is the liar but he who denies that Jesus is the Christ? This is the antichrist, he who denies the Father and the Son. No one who denies the Son has the Father. Whoever confesses the Son has the Father also.
(1Jn 2:21-23)

But that's the New and Improved TBN Hagee. The old Baptist Hagee was different. Sigh.

OK, thanks. I was unaware of all that.
