Federal Vision

I'm watching the PCA General Assembly live in Memphis right now with the use of my brand new cable internet.

This is quite disappointing to me. Doug Wilson and Peter Leithart are practically jumping up and down (not at the GA, obviously) trying to say that the committee's report does not represent the true holdings of the FV, but the PCA seems to ignore that. Or rather squash it.

Case in point: currently the motion before the GA is to give the committee another year to perform the exegesis and interpretation and also to incorporate various views on the committee. (Current committee is formed of established anti-FV ministers). The motion is being roudly attacked, even by the likes of R.C. Sproul, who, I'm afraid, used fuzzy logic.

According to Sproul, there was a committee to find out if there was justification to put FV people on the research committee, and it was decided that no, there was not. As Sproul said, why put the accused on the Jury.

What? Let's have a committee of one sided people to decide if the other side should be represented on a committee to determine if the latter side is justified in their beliefs.

It's circular.

Another pastor made the extraordinary false analogy of saying "Would we keep a member on the committee if he didn't believe in the deity of Christ?"
