Paul (or are you Doug), who are you going to believe. A libertine posing as a 2ker, or God’s word?

See, I knew you’d come back. You can’t resist.

Doug,

The correct answer to my question is “nothing”.

But Jed, no official facts of sexual abuse have come out! Unless you believe one can be a sex offender by walking nude in your own house. How is that a crime according to God’s law? The alleged victim (a house nurse) confessed he didn’t make an advance on her. He never touched her! He wasn’t aroused! She just felt uncomfortable. I think the story is weird, and I don’t make a habit of walking around naked, but I would need to know a lot more about the facts, before I would call Ken a sex offender.

I mean, California found O.J. Simpson not guilty of murder! We are famous for getting things backwards. In our State up is down, and down is up. It’s perfectly legal to do all sorts of depraved acts that God calls death penalty offenses, with the blessing of our State. But walking nude in your own house? Sex offender.! I just don’t think that passes the smell test.

Isn’t Satan always trying to discredit Godly men? Why take California’s verdict as gospel?

Perhaps, under California law, Gentry was guilty, even though he did nothing wrong in God’s eyes. Like I said, I don’t know all the circumstances or the facts.

Gentry pleaded no contest. He didn’t think he did anything wrong.

Finally, the poison bile of the author, said that Ken Gentry should go to the CREC where he belongs. Sounds like the author of that blog needs more prayer than Ken Gentry. Someone has a heart filled with bitterness and hate. And a hatred for the CREC! Let’s pray for this poor tortured soul, who has such anonymous for Ken Gentry and the CREC.

Let’s pray for one and all but the author of that post, the most!

Erik,

You strike me as a guy with a good sense of humor. On that assumption, get a load of this one: Above, Sean said, “think meds.” That was in reference to me. But, did you know that Sean actually challenged me to a physical fist fight in the comment section at The Confessional Outhouse? Now, you might think he was just joshing. But he wasn’t, and he admitted he get a little carried away. So I submit to you this question: Who really needs the meds?

I’m not sure about this whole 2K thing. You have Erik telling us it’s our “duty” to “yell” at people, and then you have Sean challenging transgressors to fisticuffs! To get into your secret meetings, do I need to pump iron, chew tobacco, and sport cowboy boots?

Doug,

Your definition of gossip is lacking. Whatever Gentry’s arguments are, he is an office bearer in a Reformed church, making him a public figure. He was convicted of a crime, all Mike did was link to a site that reported the facts of the case. If your pastor was a sex offender wouldn’t you like to know? The PCA gives a lot of latitude to its officers, he fact that they would not allow him to continue in office says a lot.

For all of your arguments about theonomy, and the need for public godliness, you sure seem to ne circling the wagons around one of your own. If he plead guilty to a crime he claims he was falsely accused of then he has violated the ninth commandment, and should be censured for that. This is all matters of public record, to say he is a convict is simply telling the truth, not gossip.

You see, one (unnamed) 2Ker told me that a man at my church could spend every waking moment with a women who was not his wife, going to the movies, dinner, and dancing with her.

There you go, the whole 2K thing is forever ruined by that anecdote.

Erik, think meds.

Comment on Unexpected Development by sean

Michael, I’ve read through your concern a couple of times. Kline isn’t primarily making an apologetic argument one way or another, he’s simply saying what he’s doing will have a secondary apologetic effect. Kline is a OT biblical theologian, he’s exploring the ANE(ancient near east) treaty form as an template by which to view the pentateuch, in particular. Within that work he argues for an inherent canon or covenantal document component which is an intrinsic aspect of ANE treaties. The subsequent apologetic import is that if he’s correct in his ANE assesment of the pentateuch, what you will find is an inherent canon or set of ‘covenant documents’ with set features such as; historical prologue, that will also be indicative, for our purposes, of distinguishing between canonical and non-canonical documents. The aside he makes and that you initially quote is his acknowledgement that ANE treaty form is not a necessary conditionality of canon, God’s ordination and inspiration alone are, but simply an accident or circumstance that God chooses to use in his covenant making with the Israelites in the OT. Hope that helps.

@Bruce, I was weighing in on our normal christian duty. I didn’t think there was a separate 2K duty, (stop!) but I could be wrong.

Paul, you’re a beauty!

Keep pressing on!
