Who Said That?

"It's been my observation that Reformed men who justify silence in the public square under the rubric of `two-kingdom theology' and `the spirituality of the church' are usually unconcerned about the sexual anarchy, oppression, and bloodshed of innocents that has long been the foundation of our civil compact here in these United States. In my experience they simply don't give a rip.

It's self-evident on any terms a civilized man accepts for the foundation of common law that sending wives, sisters, and mothers off to fight our enemies is evil, but see if spirituality-of-the-church men address the civil magistrate condemning this evil? It's self-evident on any terms a civilized man accepts for the foundation of common law that ripping unborn babies apart in their mothers' wombs is an evil as great as the world has ever known, but check out whether the two-kingdom men you know write about it on their blogs, speak against it in the public square, preach against it in their pulpits, or show up at the killing place to lift a finger to stop it."

As many of you guessed, this is from Tim and David Bayly's blog, "Out of our Minds Too" and can be found here:  The Bayly Blog

Oh, and here's a link to David VanDrunen's book on medical ethics where he condemns abortion and euthanasia (something "radical" 2K people are supposedly not interested in doing).  VanDrunen's book on medical ethics

read this this week. was it one of the Baylys brothers on their blog?

[Randy Gill]

My guess is James Dobson.

[Lane Keister]

Yes, it was the Bayly brothers on their blog. A bit overblown in the rhetoric department, if you ask me.

[pb]

Beck? KIDDING!

[Zrim]

The Rabbi's Bayly, of course.

[Richard]

Darryl Hart? KIDDING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

[matt]

Ohh I finally know one!
David Bayly or Tim, but I'm pretty sure it was a Bayly brother

[Rana]

Zrim, why do you call them Rabbis? Are they GRusalemites like Rabbi Vanderlaan, Kent Dobson and the other Grand Rapids "Rabbis".

[Zrim]

Rana, how about the "Bishops of Bloomington" (Ohio)? But no, geographical location is less the reason than essentially saying "If you don't care like me then you don't care." That's usually one clue one is dealing with rabbis instead of pastors.

Doug Wilson

[Rana]

Zrim, I only asked if they were form GR because it seems like there are several guys out there who are co-opting the term Rabbi while making their case for the "historical" Jesus and church. when you used the term Rabbi it had me wondering ...

[dsanger]

Bayly Bros. on another anti-2k rant.

[Scott Roper]

Doug Wilson?

[Ken Rapoza]

The Baylys...

[Charles S]

Goodness....I went to the Bayly's blog, not knowing who they were, and the guy on the left looks like me! So if you see me I'm not him!

[Ryan Thompson]

Mark Driscoll

[Neal P.]

Bayly bros.

[Zrim]

(It's Tim and David Bayly. Joe Bayly is their dad.)

[Tim Bayly]

>>Joe Bayly is their dad.

And my son.

BTW, Reformed men having no saltiness and making a principle of that failure was a problem even when Dad was living and writing. It's nothing new. I'll post a reprint of one of his "Eternity" articles showing what he himself thought of this failure.

Love,

I knew that (ugh . . ) Thanks guys. Correction made.
