Thanks you, bp, but I have not said I'm a Christian Reconstructionist.

I'm a Presbyterian.

But it's fascinating to see how much vitriol is engendered by the term.

Imagine the audacity of God to think He should be in charge and that it just might be a good thing for the world to become Christianized -- not by the swords of men, but by "the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God."

It's not the term, but the people behid it.

Imagine the audacity of God to think He should be in charge ...

Again, when HE shows up for work, He can be in charge.

"Imagine the audacity of God to think He should be in charge..."

God isn't the one itching to be in charge, it's people who claim to be his followers. In order for them to succeed, they will have to try to overthrow the Constitution.

No

Imagine the audacity of people who claim to be in charge of God's will on earth.

Except, we don't have to imagine it. We have seen that all too often, we can even name some of the captial cities -- mediaeval Rome, Calvin's Geneva, the Taliban's Kabul--the list is depressingly long.

It will not include Washington DC. I hope and (surprised you!) pray

When wearing your klan kostume, be sure to change your boots or shoes. I saw that in a movie once. Also, get a new horse. It isn't too smart to put on a hood and then ride the same horse you take to meeting.

I'm not a Presbryterian .... yet. And I too share your reaction to the vitriol. It seems, somehow, that the Sovreignty of the Father is a real sticking point in the craw of many.
