To: Dr. Eckleburg; MarkBsnr; WPaCon
you won't hear anyone whining about "anti-OPC bigotry."

the same way you don't hear too much whining about the smaller version of the OPC - the WBC. At 20,000 members, your cult with it's conspiracy of silence keeps it's hateful practises secret, but now all Christians know how anti-Christian your cult is

preaching hatred against Pentecostals from the OPC doctrinal website
It will be noted that the Confession sharply contradicts the view popularized today by the neo-Pentecostal movement. In essence this view would have us believe that we can have the same charismatic gifts that we read about in the age of the Apostles - such as prophecy, speaking in tongues, and healing - today.

This is a very serious error. In essence it is a result of a failure to grasp the Biblical teaching concerning the history of salvation.

preaching hatred against Lutherans Dr. Eckleburg disses the LCMS:
"The liberal church teaching of free will has infected the Lutherans, too, in contradiction to what Martin Luther taught from Scripture"
preaching hatred against Pentecostals and Methodists: From the opc doctrinal website:
. Are Arminian (Methodists, Pentecostals, Baptist etc) preachers heretics? yes
. Is Arminianism (Methodism, Pentecostalism, Baptists) a damnable heresy? Yes.
. the teachings of Arminianism are contrary to Scripture, they are manifestly false. They are serious perversions of the gospel of Jesus Christ
"we see the inherent Satanism of Free-Will Arminianism" (accusing Methodists, Pentecostals, etc. who disagree with Calvin of preaching a gospel of Satan
preaching hatred against Methodists "John Wesley preached Universal Infant Damnation for unbaptized infants -- which is unsurprising, because Wesley preached the Gospel of Satan"
preaching hatred against Pentecostals and Catholics together as targets of the OPC/PCA message of hate Gamecock posted this
"This goes to what the Reformers taught; that is the "enthusiasts" or what we call today
Pentecostals, are really no different from the Roman Catholics
."

AnalogReigns: I think this is one reason why it is easy for certain evangelicals, often from the "enthusiast" wing, find it easy to become Roman Catholic.

preaching hatred against Judaism Acording to the OPC OrthoPresbyterianC: "Christians should not celebrate the Seder or other Jewish festivals. "
preaching hatred and evil against Christians martyred by Moslems in the Middle East This man followed the wrong teachings of Rome and we know what happens to such people. Heaven is for the elect.
preaching hatred against the Eastern Orthodox Insinuating that the E. Orthodox are not helping others in Japan
preaching hatred against Adventists The Adventists are a cult that is as dangerous as the Jehovahs Witnesses or the Mormons
revealing their true beliefs that Christianity means only Calvinism and only their particular brand of Calvinism
  • Dr. Eckleburg: "That's Christianity. That's Calvinism"
  • Dr. Eckleburg: " The problem with non-denominational churches is that there's nothing to stop the congregation from deciding to become Mormon or Unitarian, etc.
    There is something to be said for a diagonal form of church structuring, like the Presbyterians -- organized by a representative group of congregants. This actually strengthens the Christian imperative rather than dilutes it as so many non-denominational churches tend to do."
  • "Calvinism is the Gospel and to teach Calvinism is in fact to preach the Gospel."
    Arthur C. Custance, The Sovereignty of Grace, 1979.
  • "Calvinism is evangelicalism in its purest and only stable expression."
    B.B. Warfield, Calvin and Augustine, ed. Samuel G. Craig, 1956
  • "We believe with the great Baptist preacher, Charles Haddon Spurgeon, that Calvinism is just another name for Christianity."
    John H. Gerstner, Wrongly Dividing the Word of Truth: A Critique of Dispensationalism, 1991.

To: Cronos; Dr. Eckleburg

There is nothing in this list that teaches hate. The assertion of a position which excludes the validity or truth of a contradictory position is not ‘teaching hate.’

Assertion that one postulate is true, and its opposite is false, is the very foundation of logic.

It is not hate to espouse a position which excludes another. Hate is a feeling of enmity directed at another.
