See, for example, any number of other BFTSs in the PCUSA (and outside it, which is just .... weird) who spend ridiculously inordinate amounts of time on random vendettas, personal attacks, and bizarre concern-trolling -- not to mention the most important thing these Inquisitors all have in common: an almost fanatical obsession with John Shuck.<br /><br />In fact, I fully expect that the ever-expanding list of fundamentals to which these folks regularly pledge their allegiance, devotion (through the signing of yet another useless 'Document' or 'Proclamation' or 'Declaration') will have it's own anti-John Shuck bullet point added to all the others about requiring a literal reading of Scripture, belief in young Earth creationism, hating teh gays, premillennialism, redefining pi, etc... <br /><br />(In the end, the heirs of Machen are just a bunch of cranks and busybodies, proving what even Machen himself knew: If you can add any minutia you want to a list of fundamentals, then they're not really fundamental. He must be rolling over in his grave.)Alanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16274395216929104919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30648257.post-4624476322033144072012-04-18T08:56:43.032-07:002012-04-18T08:56:43.032-07:00With time it will be shown how much of the ills of...With time it will be shown how much of the ills of the PCUSA were really just Parker's fabrication. <br /><br />We are a big tent. And as such we have a wide distribution of beliefs and cultures in our church. <br /><br />What Parker has done is routinely portrayed 3 sigma samples as the norm. And as other evil propagandists of his century pointed out, you tell a lie often enough and loud enough people start to believe it. And the best lie is one that is mostly true. The lie is not in the facts of the matter, but in the spin. The fabrication of the significance of the facts.<br /><br />"there goes the neighborhood"<br /><br />The man spent his life away trying to destroy a Church that was too effective at building churches, schools and hospitals, spreading the Gospel around the world. He was good at it. <br /><br />Some people even think he's a Saint.Jodiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15447125159108080797noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30648257.post-88497975937630961142012-04-18T07:29:31.472-07:002012-04-18T07:29:31.472-07:00Alas...
