NB

“He who hates, disguises it with his lips,
And lays up deceit within himself;
When he speaks kindly, do not believe him,
For there are seven abominations in his heart;
Though his hatred is covered by deceit,
His wickedness will be revealed before the assembly.” — Proverbs 26:24–26

I want everyone to notice this. All of the men who contributed to my post “Bag o’ Snakes” should be ashamed of themselves — every one of them. They should be ashamed that as so-called pastors of God’s sheep and leaders in their respective congregations they willingly participated in an orgy of gossip, backstabbing, and vituperation. They should be ashamed for plotting behind the backs of the brethren; they should be thoroughly embarrassed that they connived to poison the Church; they should hide their faces in humiliation for joining hands in such ungodliness. But as the prophet asked, and answered, “Were they ashamed when they had committed abomination? nay, they were not at all ashamed, neither could they blush” (Jer. 8:12).

And why can’t they blush? — because in their minds this malicious bender didn’t involve wrongdoing since it took place in their private “members only” club where they agreed to commit sin with impunity. The argument goes like this: Sin isn’t sin if everyone agrees to commit sin. Makes sense to me. This also explains why the FVists won’t stop. Men who cannot discern the difference between righteousness and iniquity have no point of reference for anyone to appeal to. St. Paul put it this way: “Now the Spirit expressly says that in latter times some will depart from the faith, giving heed to deceiving spirits and doctrines of demons, speaking lies in hypocrisy, having their own conscience seared with a hot iron” (1 Tim. 4:1, 2).

Also, please note Beelzeblog’s response to this. As the Fearless Leader of the new Reformation, he did not correct or admonish his fellow Reformers for their sin. He didn’t say, “Now, now, brothers, spiteful tongues cannot usher in the new Reformation, and we should not mix our new wine with the vinegar of contempt. Let us trust God that he will open the eyes of our Reformed brethren to our novel understanding of the Westminster divines’ original intent.” Rather, he seized the opportunity to unify the gang behind one message of solidarity while simultaneously maintaining an open bridge to RC Jr., which he eventually exploited to his own ends (padding the CREC) after the RPCGA lawfully removed the St. Peter’s Four from the ministry.

Notice also how the FVists have trained their disciples to respond. Look at this comment from a loyalist or, more likely, from an FVist:

Anonymous has left a new comment on your post “Bag o’ Snakes”:

You are in violation of USC tile 17 $106 and $106A. If I were the authors of these email’s, i would be talking to a lawyer now.

Good luck.

Well, Anon, at least you’re consistent: when in doubt, retaliate. For the sake of argument, however, let’s follow Anon’s counsel to its logical conclusion. If I understand him correctly, he believes that the leaders of the new Reformation should file a class action lawsuit against me for publishing their own words to expose their little cabal. This is beautiful. It’s also an efficient means of reformation. “Ecclesia reformata, semper suing.”

And as I’m writing, James Jordan just posted this comment:

I notice that you have published comments made by me in a private forum, without permission. This is a violation of federal copyright law, and I advise you to remove this material immediately, or face the consequences. — James B. Jordan

I can see it now:

Question: “Dr. Jordan, how did my client’s actions damage you?”

Answer: “Your client damaged me because I didn’t want the general public to know that I am a bitter, greedy, foul-mouthed, collar-wearing scoundrel.”

That should be worth a huge award, and all that time in court should pay dividends as well. The media would have a First Amendment field day and my hits would soar through the roof (or “New Sky”). Everyone — the whole world — would get a glimpse of the new Reformers’ hearts, which, if you think about it, is very postmillennial.

But fair enough. I’ll call my attorney. If I have violated the law (which I doubt) I shall remove Jordan’s copyrighted material from the post and apologize to him. Until then, however, I think it’s important for everyone to see the stinking rats behind the fridge.

Thank you.
