I saw this video some time ago; it must be admitted that it is pretty funny  but this seems to be a tactic of Federal Visionists to disguise the seriousness of their errors. If they think undermining the Protestant doctrine of justification by faith alone - the doctrine on which the church stands or falls  - is little more than a laughing matter, then I am afraid they have serious problems.

You know, when they anonymously make fun of critics, it's funny and witty and droll. When on the other hand "the attack blogs" repay the complement, its cruel and unChristian. Reminds me of another Pomo group:

My first impression was to laugh, but then my second impression was to cringe. The whole thing seemed so irreverant to the reality of what reformed christianity is facing. |

Good point Pastor Andrew; it really annoys me when they complain that no-one else understands them, and that everyone is out to get them - I can assure them that is not true - as some of my favourite books are written by Federal Visionists (though admittedly before the Federal Vision came out), so I am the last person who wants to condemn them. However, the integrity of the gospel of Christ is at stake. Anyway, I think we would find it much easier to "understand" them if they engaged in less double talk and sophistry. |

Very well said; they don't seem to realise that it is the heart of the gospel which they are attacking; this is not something we can laugh about as Paul wept over those who were the enemies of the cross of Christ.

You just been Ligged!
Since rap is about gang-warfare, maybe OUR homies can come up with a rejoinder! After all I hear that DJ Lig was rappin' at a Sproul conference, maybe he can take 'em on!
Or maybe I just have a soft spot for humor.

The whole theology rap thing on youtube wasn't cool. It wasn't cool when Ligon did it and it is not cool now.
