When Reformed people like what you write they refer to it as
'scholarly' and when they don't like your content, it's referred to as
'unprofessional' or a 'rant'. Well, I'm not interested in tickling Denominational
ears. They can't hear anyone but themselves. Only their internal politics seem
to concern them. Unlike many of them I have to work for a living and I don't
have time to footnote everything I write, or spend hours on line engaged in
dissecting the minutiae. I've attended many of their churches over the years
and to their shame most of their congregations bask in ignorance while they fritter
their time away splitting systematic hairs and argue over who really is being
most faithful to the tradition. I washed my hands of them long ago. First and foremost it would seem that most of them are bureaucrats and that's how they think and operate.
I'm not
writing to earn their respect or anyone's for that matter. I just write and if
they are inclined to read it, fine. If not, I really couldn't care less.
But when they play fast and loose with the truth, when they
distort history, politic the Kingdom and twist Scripture, I will call them on
it, even if they're not listening. Maybe someone will hear.
