The wolves have told the shepherd's to go back to sleep and the OPC for the large part is all to happy to oblige. A member of the OPC's Philadelphia Presbytery's Candidates and Credentials Committee remarked just a couple of weeks ago that he did not know of a single active teacher of the doctrines of the FV or NPP. I wouldn't be surprised if that is a common view across the entire OPC -- no FV here, no sir. <BR/><BR/>It's too bad the OPC is likely to take the approach of "see no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil".Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9387707.post-1152338603771181852006-07-08T01:03:00.000-05:002006-07-08T01:03:00.000-05:00We should also remember that the Jerusalem council...We should also remember that the Jerusalem council involved a heresy that had completely invaded the early church and was causing extreme unrest. The congregants were clamoring for guidance. This was also true of the Nicean Council. Although the FV heresy is dangerous, I am not sure that it has completely infested the PCA as of yet. In my opinion, they have enough orthodox capital to take their time.<BR/><BR/>AndrewGone for nowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07737184817375562018noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9387707.post-1152338363049338102006-07-08T00:59:00.000-05:002006-07-08T00:59:00.000-05:00I am no supporter of the Federal Vision heresies, ...I am no supporter of the Federal Vision heresies, but I do understand the PCA's hesitance. The RCUS has the advantage of being monolithic on the issue, which is due to the fact that we are so small. As a result, our firm stance involved no negative or chaotic consequences. An outright condemnation of FV will involve a denominational split in the PCA. Thus, I can understand why they are taking it slowly. It is a heresy today, so it will also be a heresy tomorrow, if it does not die out as the fad that it is.<BR/><BR/>AndrewGone for nowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07737184817375562018noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9387707.post-1152315730066200162006-07-07T18:42:00.000-05:002006-07-07T18:42:00.000-05:00Thanks for the clarification on the majority repor...Thanks for the clarification on the majority report about the need for a study committee. <BR/><BR/>As for the study committee and the SJC being separate tracts, I think that only makes my point for me. If the SJC does not need a study committee and can rule regardless because all the material are at hand, then what is the point of the Study Committee? What happens if the SJC rules the FV unorthodox, but the study committee decides it is orthodox, or vice versa? Surely these two tracts have to be related somehow, or study committee tract is pointless at best.Leehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10422257306176024118noreply@blogger.com
