” You realize of course that Todd Akin is a graduate of Covenant Theological, a major Reformation Seminary of the PCA. / So, do you think God will damn one of the elect to hell?”
Golly! Salvation by school name! THAT is as unique as Akin’s theory of rape...
It seems likely the guy is a Christian. And if stupidity was the unforgivable sin...well, there would be a lot of us in trouble! Still, we won’t know all the wheat vs tares until GOD separates them at the end. God, not the PCA.
What you’re missing is that RWKansas and I go all the way back to the Calvin Wars on the Religion Forum years ago. Without that context it would have been impossible for you to understand the theological snicker that was going on there. :>)
That said, the man did earn a Master of Divinity there, an MDiv is generally the preparatory degree for ordination and ministry, he’s been a lifelong conservative with an extremely high ACU rating, and in this instance he was actually trying to make a case for preserving an innocent life.
I’m betting that Akins is the real deal when it comes to his Christian faith, and that he’s not departed from it even in Congress.
