My Blagless Blog
Tuesday, January 25, 2005
I have been amazingly blagless for two days, due to increased illness again.
Yet it never ceases to amaze me either, how at times when in such extremities, God speaks clearer truths to me than at times of lesser duress. I resigned from my church today, owing to me being housebound since Sept, and if ever I was in a position to be out again, some doctrinal differences which I can't reconcile with the truths of scripture. The RPW being the main one and all that goes with that. Its been a long hard battle to get to the point of saying, I can't affiliate myself with a denomination which doesn't hold to such differences. And many people RPW bash, and I have before too, which was my sin, and it was done entirely in ignorance more than anything else, and believing others must know better than me when new to Christendom, and yet ignorance is not excuse. Just over two years ago, I found out exactly what was meant by the RPW, as I'm not the brightest bunny on the block in some ways when always struggling with cognitive difficulties, yet once it was explained in a way I could understand, I decided to not stay ignorant and search the truths of Scripture on this out. EP was the hardest aspect of this for me to reconcile, until I read what G.I. Williamson said on this very subject in his shorter catechism study guide on the Second commandment, which tho didn't specifically speak to EP it did speak very much to the RPW. I posted it in its entirety at one of my Yahoo Group Reformers Corner
And after reading that, could no longer exclude EP as being in doubt. So, tonite, through a mixture of doctrinal differences, and personal differences at my church, I sent my letter of resignation as a member. But, my first reactions to the RPW, were based in ignorance. And I implore anyone who may have doubts or think its legalistic, before you say so, or hide venom in ones heart about it, cos you so disagree, to go search the truths of Scripture and see if it aligns with the Bible or not. See for youselves if it is the very epitome of the Sufficiency of Scripture. Be a Bearan (Acts 17:10-12) and not a wrong headed crack pot with an ignorant opinion, as I once was.
"Ive got better things to do than argue with every wrong-headed crackpot with an ignorant opinion! I'm a busy man! I say, either agree with me or take a hike! I'm right, period! End of discussion!" (Calvin and Hobbes)
