So much for Ian Paisley!
It’s about time the Free Presbyterian church had a new moderator, and yet I extend my sympathies to them at what must be a difficult moment. One only wonders if this news report that Paisley has joined in a Catholic prayer service will be followed in a few months by an announcement that he has…

Metzger vs. Michuta
UPDATE: I’m not totally satisfied with this post, and I’m thinking of deleting it. Part of the problem is that the link I have provided is to the main page of Michuta’s web site, and not to a particular page on which the article could be found on any permanent basis. I’m thinking about deleting…

Federal Vision – Heresy not anti-Paedo-Baptistic Reductio
In this recent post from GreenBaggins, one can almost see froth on the fingertips of James B. Jordan, a profane pastor some have started calling the “godfather” of the Federal Vision movement (link) (update, apparently Jordan has apologized in part).
