It never ceases to amaze me how naive some folks can be regarding the implications of their loose thinking. Unfortunately, I believe this guy is serious.

Say Fred, who is this guy?

Professor at Montreat College (a PCUSA school).

This is a good blog that comments on these sorts of things:
http://www.semper-reformanda.org/journal/archives/000024.html

Please don't confuse it with Scott Bushey's semperreformanda! It looks like Scott got to the domain name first, and then this guy had to go with a modified version!

I think all those guys at RefCat belong in the PCUSA. They really don't care what you believe.
 
"Arminian brothers and sisters often come closer to the truth than we do. "

Then what makes him stay a so-called "Calvinist"?

Okey dokey, the fact that you broke off "gayer blog posts" was absolutely hysterical, but this one is just a wee little bit creepy. Maybe I've seen one too many murder mysteries, but "needs to be silenced" suggests medicine may be needed.

Here's a scary thought: I am in complete agreement with Keith on this post! Including the hysterical part! :lol:

Maybe Reformed Catholics are doing their job -- bringing together Christians!

[clearing the throat a couple of times] That's called a "good thought", Fred!

Just tweaking ya a bit Keith!

Seriously, one of the things that I like about this board is the opportunities it gives for a wide variety of issues. On some, people agree, on others the same disagree. So we have a situation here where Keith and I disagreed frequently on some issues a few months ago, and now we have agreed frequently. That is indeed a good thought!

Names will not be mentioned to protect the innocent, but a friend of mine (that you examined, I believe) said to me when I was graduating from Covenant Seminary, "Here is Fred Greco's number. Call him, because I think you guys would have a lot in common." I was too busy being openairboy, so I wasn't looking for a "church" position, so the call was never made. Ironically, two years later we are interacting via puritanboard. And there are still Arminians!!!!!

Hopefully in the weeks and months to come, as you grow and mature, we will come to more agreement.:bigsmile::bigsmile:

P.S. When I visit my parents in Ohio I often attend Carl Bogue's church, although I don't always show my hand at church.:lol:

I didn't mean to scare anyone. But that site supports Universal Atonement, praises Arminians, and all in the name of Calvinism! What is Andrew Sandlin doing on there!!

(*Oh, that's right, I forgot, he sold out on Reconstructionism. Silly me*)

Actually, he did not sell out on Reconstructionism. He sold out on Reformed theology and the gospel. He is one of the most dangerous "Reformed" teachers around currently.

And, for their publishing of such opinions, or maintaining of such practices, as are contrary to the light of nature, or to the known principles of Christianity (whether concerning faith, worship, or conversation), or to the power of godliness; or, such erroneous opinions or practices, as either in their own nature, or in the manner of publishing or maintaining them, are destructive to the external peace and order which Christ has established in the Church, they may lawfully be called to account, and proceeded against, by the censures of the Church. and by the power of the civil magistrate.

I love it when my posts are in line with orthodoxy.
