In die vorige artikel het ons begin kyk na hierdie eeue oue verskynsel in die kerk van Jesus Christus na aanleiding van ‘n hoofstuk in die boek van JC Ryle “Churches Beware!” In hierdie artikel fokus ons op sekere voorsorg maatreels en teenmiddels teen die suurdeeg van die Fariseërs en die Sadduseërs wat elkeen van ons tot vandag toe bedreig. (Baie van hierdie gedagtes is my vry vertaling uit JC Ryle se boek met my eie toevoegings t.o.v. huidige omstandighede en toepassing.) Continue reading “Moderne Sadduseërs en Fariseërs Deel2”

Pelagianism and the modern church
by Dr. R.C. Sproul
This article is also available from this site: http://www.apuritansmind.com/Arminianism/RCSproul%20Pelagius.htm
The rivals of the early church Augustine and Pelagius begin the debate over the depravity of man.
“It is Augustine who gave us the Reformation.” So wrote B. B. Warfield in his assessment of the influence of Augustine on church history. It is not only that Luther was an Augustinian monk, or that Calvin quoted Augustine more than any other theologian that provoked Warfield’s remark. Rather, it was that the Reformation witnessed the ultimate triumph of Augustine’s doctrine of grace over the legacy of the Pelagian view of man. Continue reading “Pelagianism and the modern church”
Liberalism or Christianity
by J. Gresham Machen
An address delivered, in substance, in the Wayne Presbyterian Church, Wayne, Pennsylvania, November 3, 1921, before the Twenty-Eighth Annual Convention of the Ruling Elders’ Association of Chester Presbytery, on the subject, “The Present Attack against the Fundamentals of our Christian Faith, from the Point of View of Colleges and Seminaries.” Originally published in The Princeton Theological Review, Vol. 20, No. 1, 1922, pages 93-117, Machen later turned this short essay into a manuscript which was published in 1923 under the title: Christianity & Liberalism (Macmillan, 1923). This article is now in the public domain (original pagination is preserved in {brackets} for purposes of reference).
The Princeton Theological Review, Vol. 20, No. 1, 1922, Page 93
The attack upon the fundamentals of the Christian faith is not a matter merely of theological seminaries and universities. It is being carried on vigorously by Sunday School “lesson-helps,” by the pulpit, and by the religious press. The remedy, therefore, is not to be found in the abolition of theological seminaries, or the abandonment of scientific theology, but rather in a more earnest search after truth and a more loyal devotion to it when once it is found.

Emerging church and old liberalism
by John MacArthur
borrowed from: http://teampyro.blogspot.com/2006/03/been-there-done-that.html
also available from the new Shepherds’ Fellowship blog, Pulpit Live. John MacArthur now blogs there weekly along with several staff and lay pastors of Grace Community Church, Sun Valley, CA. The Shepherds’ Fellowship is a resource primarily designed to extend the benefits of Grace Church’s annual Shepherds’ Conference to pastors year round. The new blog gives the rest of us an opportunity to listen in.
John MacArthur is senior pastor of Grace Community Church and perhaps is best known as the teaching voice of “Grace to You,” heard daily on hundreds of radio stations worldwide.
Harry Emerson Fosdick and the Emerging Theology of Early Liberalism
In the early part of the 20th century liberalism took mainline Protestant churches by storm.
In fact, it might be argued that the first half of the century ushered in the most serious spiritual decline since the Protestant Reformation. Historic evangelicalism, which had dominated Protestant America since the days of the founding fathers, was virtually driven out of denominational schools and churches.
In a few decades, liberalism virtually destroyed the largest Protestant denominations in America and Europe. Continue reading “Emerging church and old liberalism”
