Either God is in control or men are in control. And I sure hope it's the former.

Since you're up late you might want to read a nifty little piece by the theologian, Cornelius Van Til...

WHY I BELIEVE IN GOD

“Either God is in control or men are in control.”

False dilemma.

I particularly like Van Til's conduct in his quarrel with Gordon Clark and in the very unChristian manner with which it was pursued. I understand that Van Til was an OPC minister and, with Machen, either quit or was fired by Princeton and was incompatible with Presbyterian thought and helped form a splinter group called (after several splinters) the OPC.

Nifty. I do agree with him in one area, though. He argued that there is no neutral ground between Christians and non Christians. In our discourse, I have not discovered any common ground between the Christian point of view and your position, Dr. E. Thank you for pointing me in this direction so that I might discover for myself the increasingly pagan and apostate roots and position of the OPC.
