Yes, I’ve been with some Reformed folks who didn’t think of themselves as evangelicals. We eventually parted ways because they seemed to me to be elevating their confessions to the same level of authority as Scripture. The theonomists were fun too. Gary North’s book, “Crossed Fingers,” very good history lesson but too long.

In any event, sweeping generalizations are another great way to discredit your arguments. Mostly evangelicals are just Christians. Yes, there are disappointments. There always have been, always will be. But lumping them all together is a fallacy. I expect my brilliant Reformed siblings in Christ to avoid such obvious error.

Besides, it is not our job to look down on our brothers and sisters in Christ even when they do disappoint. Instead, it is our job to avoid disappointing them. Love rejoices in the truth, yes, but love is also kind, and patient, and not self-promoting, is not rude, or self-seeking, and doesn’t keep track of offences. I know that’s a really high standard, but it’s not as if we have a choice.

Peace,

SR

FYI, Cruz's Dominionism is theonomy, just a more retarded version.

Love rejoices in the truth, yes, but love is also kind,

Kindness is wasted on the prosperity gimps and worthless dogs of the modern day American church.
