Just Plain Nutty

Mr. Brown must be laughing all the way to the bank--and now has a movie deal to boot!

No doubt, Dr. Wilkinson has greatly enlarged his own personal territory with this little gem. Talk about ripping a biblical passage from its context!

Words escape me . . . But then aren't Barney Fife and Aunt Bee profoundly insightful in explaining the unfolding drama of redemption. Now instead of looking for Christ in all the Scripture, we can look for him in Mayberry.

A book with a chart entitled "the lazy man's guide to understanding Calvinism" ought to tell you something about its author. Sorry, Mr. Bryson, but I am about as Reformed as they come and Herman Hoeksema doesn't speak for me. Read the Canons of Dort and we'll talk.

So let's see, the Nephilim are the product of human and angelic procreation . . . How would that work? This is theology at the level of the National Enquirer or the Star--but then that explains why it is a best seller.

When will people stop interpreting biblical texts which apply to Israel under the Old Covenant as though they refer to modern America? I always knew America was in the Bible somewhere!

I didn't know evangelical Protestants believed in purgatory . . . As a believer in decisional regeneration, Stanley teaches that once you "walk the aisle" or "pray the sinner's prayer," you are in, even if you die an atheist! The saints need not persevere, they just lose rewards if they don't. If you read Stanley's book you'll discover that when Jesus mentions "outer darkness" he's not referring to hell, but to a place inside the kingdom of God, yet outside the circle of special privilege. In other words, this is a place where those who are saved but who don't have enough good works to be privileged go until they've shown enough sorrow for a lack of works and are finally allowed to rejoice in heaven. This is not only a denial of the Reformed doctrine of perseverance, is sure sounds like purgatory to me!
