What a sad misunderstanding of Christ.
Really? So when Paul says that we are to imitate him as he imitates Christ, it is of no avail? Corinthians 11: 1 Be imitators of me, as I am of Christ. 2 1 I praise you because you remember me in everything and hold fast to the traditions, just as I handed them on to you.
Not only does the good Dr. E. dismiss the traditions of Jesus, now she dismisses the exhortation to be imitators of Christ.
That blasphemy belongs to Rome and its priestcraft.
The blasphemy of believing wholeheartedly in Christ? Then we are blasphemers in your eyes, Dr. E. We follow Christ, not Machen. We follow God and not men. It is not the Church that misunderstands Christ. It is the OPC and the sad and diminishing little cult that will vanish within a generation. Your precious OPC will not exist as a single congregation when the current bunch of presbyters and other authorities are dead. There will be nobody to take up the positions.
The object of Christian faith is God the Son, Christ Jesus, not His body the church, the grouping of all believers in Christ.
