The value in claiming there is a crisis in the Church.
The urge to save humanity is almost always a false face for the urge to rule it. – H.L. Mencken
This is also an important key to understanding church history. The Papal party claimed they were protecting the Church from the heresy of Luther when in fact they were pushing forward their own agenda and power.
Van Til (who was probably right or closer to the truth on the issue) was obviously engaged in a personal power play against Gordon Clark (of whom I am no fan) when he made a court case out of his epistemological disagreements. This was a chance to make the OPC a Van-Til-only club.
And the lies spread about the so-called “Federal Vision” are no different.
