Your insipid link is from an ultra-liberal, socialist website from Canada no less ...

If the quotes are wrong I will have my post removed..

Which quote is false?

Have you even read the quotes, all snippets of longer text taken out of context?

Which quote is false?

Is that how you debate -- toss out several dozen quotes out of context and demand a defense of them?

With that logic, Patrick Henry said something like "Give me death."

Who knew the patriot was in such a funk? I guess he figured we lost the Revolution.

As one example from your link...

"The purpose of regeneration is that man reconstruct all things in conformity to God's order, not in terms of man's desire for peace. This purpose and mission involves law and coercion." -- R.J. Rushdoony, The Institutes of Biblical Law (Nutley, NJ: Craig Press, 1973), p. 777.

Now someone who reads that might think Rushdoony is speaking of "coercion" by the state.

Instead he writes, both before and after this quote in context, that God works His "coercive" sovereign grace to bring a man to faith in Jesus Christ.

Offer all the left-wing socialist Canadian drivel you want. It only weakens your position.

Which quote is false?

The answer would seem to be "none of them".
