Petersen Mon, 13 Jul 2009 05:16:33 +0000 http://www.hornes.org/mark/?p=3841#comment-437208 I'm not quite sure I like the quote. I agree Christian Churches rule the world, and I wouldn't really have a problem if Pr. Wilson had said that part of the problem is that Christian Churches don't have good solid worship reflecting Reformed Doctrine--I'd disagree, but I could respect the position--but when he says that Reformed Churches rule the world, it sounds distinctly like Phyletism. Why don't Orthodox Churches? Catholic Churches? Lutheran Churches? You can reply that those Churches have problems, and so don't rule effectively. But his point is that the Reformed Churches have problems, and so don't rule effectively. Christ's Church rules the world. And Christ's Church is no more of Calvin (or Heidelburg or Dort or Westminster) any more than it is of Paul or Apollos. I’m not quite sure I like the quote.
