PRAYING FOR MY BELOVED CRC MEMBERS & CALVIN COLLEGE et al to NOT ACQUIESCE TO FAR-LEFT LIBERALISM TO TRY TO BE ‘COOL’:

JESUS SAID: “I pray not that thou should take them out of the world, but that thou should keep them from the evil. They are not of the world, even as I am not of the world. Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth.

As thou hast sent me into the world, even so have I also sent them into the world.

And for their sakes ..."

FAQ | Psalm 115:3 (EXTENSIVE BACK-&-FORTH re CALVINISM v ARMINIANISM et al

http://psalm115three.com/faq/

EXECUTED FOR DENYING TRINITY IN CONFLICT w/ JOHN CALVIN: Re "Michael Servetus "- Wiki

[I personally believe wholeheartedly in the Trinity & all other Christian doctrines]

SOUNDS QUITE EXTREME TO US IN THIS DAY & AGE; & MAKES JOHN CALVIN SEEM QUITE HARSH (& may be part of the reason for so much anti-Calvinism today,but most Calvinists today as far as I know as well do not agree with execution of anybody for diasagreeing with Christian doctrine. Nonetheless,Christian doctrine is still the only solid & sound way of understanding & explaining the central themes of the Bible. Nonetheless,there were also other aspects about the trial of Servetus which were peculiar.
"9] In the case the
procureur général (chief public prosecutor) added
some curious-sounding accusations in the form of
inquiries—the most odd-sounding perhaps being,
"whether he has married, and if he answers that he
has not, he shall be asked why, in consideration of his
age, he could refrain so long from marriage." [27] To
this oblique imputation about his sexuality, Servetus
replied that rupture (inguinal hernia ) had long since
made him incapable of that particular sin. Another
question was "whether he did not know that his
doctrine was pernicious, considering that he favours
Jews and Turks , by making excuses for them, and if he
has not studied the Koran in order to disprove and
controvert the doctrine and religion that the Christian
churches hold, together with other profane books,
from which people ought to abstain in matters of
religion, according to the doctrine of St. Paul ."
Calvin believed Servetus deserved death on account of
what he termed as his "execrable blasphemies". ..."

THEY'RE GREAT BUT I'M BURNED OUT ON THEM:"Four Renowned Professors Return for January Series 2016"

We've heard about & from Mouw,Marsden,Plantinga,Wolterstorff for so many years & decades now (especially Mouw in my case) that I've actually gotten "burned out" on their message,sad to say. And I see an older generation almost desperately clinging to their denominational philosophical heroes,at the expense of accepting and/or generating new voices & faces (ie "you're no Alvin Plantinga and never will be")
. Its a real problem & a serious issue when great leaders aren't able to graciously fade away either because they don't want to or their fans won't allow them,or both. & it makes me concerned about whether people in Christian academia ever get an opportunity to really grapple with their own personal relationship with Jesus,or lack of. Its much easier to have a relationship with Christian words & rhetoric & intellectualism.
