Still tired but I will resume posting next week I?m sure. You can also
\ncome back on Monday for Brother Russ? next installment in his TULIPS
\nseries?a reading from a non-Calvinist perspective. His post on Total Depravity<\/a> has probably
\nbecome the most commented article on the Archive. In the meantime, here
\nare some links from around the wwwURLd.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Tim over at the Irvins talks about the use of confessions and challenges those (like myself) who downplay historic Christianity<\/a>.
\nNeedless to say I see wisdom in being able to express what you believe
\nbut find a problem when it comes to quoting confessions instead of
\nScriptures, but I admit that I may not be as knowledgeable or strong as
\nsome of you so I may very likely be wrong. I?ve commented over yonder,
\nso now you readers can give it a read then remove me from your blogroll
\nwith the title ?confused heretic?, re-kindle the auto de f? or bear
\nwith my weakness. I pray the later.\n<\/p>\n

The Catholic Church gets together<\/a> to answer and overthrow the
\nProtestant heresies in the Council of Trent. I?m linking to this solely
\nbecause there is a huge danger is saying ?The Bereans didn?t have 2000
\nyears of church history to support what Paul was teaching or they might
\nhave relied on it.? Speaking of the Calvinist heresy<\/a> we read that:
\n<\/p>\n

?[Calvin?s] "pure doctrine" is gained by appealing, not to tradition,
\nthe "deposit" of faith, but to argument in abstract terms exercised
\nupon Scripture. He is neither a critic nor a historian; he takes the
\nBible as something given; and he manipulates the Apostles’ Creed in
\naccordance with his own ideas. The "Institutes" are not a history of
\ndogma, but a treatise, only not to be called an essay because of its
\nperemptory tone. Calvin annihilates the entire space, with all its
\ndevelopments, which lies between the death of St. John and the
\nsixteenth century. He does, indeed, quote St. Augustine, but he leaves
\nout all that Catholic foundation on which the Doctor of Grace built.?\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Brian McLaren seems to like confessions and posts his Jesus creed<\/a> and
\nhis confession of Christ<\/a>
\nonline for all to share. The first is full of
\nallusions but no references (for easier reading I guess) and the second
\nis positional alignment with a couple of references. The second ends
\nwith this statement that puts some of us in troubled waters if we
\nhaven’t signed or acknowledged, I guess:<\/p>\n

We believe that acknowledging these truths is indispensable for
\nfollowers of Christ. We urge them to remember these principles in
\nmaking their decisions as citizens. Peacemaking is central to our
\nvocation in a troubled world where Christ is Lord.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Joe Carter has an excellent series<\/a> which gives us an overview of
\nEvangelicals. If anything it?s helpful in ordering our Who?s Who in
\nEvangelical Christianity deck of cards.<\/p>\n

I confess that I’m a geek and need to buy this book about intelligent design<\/a>.\n<\/p>\n

This guy confesses his love to Condoleeza Rice<\/a>.\n<\/p>\n
