Holy Water Debate – Negative Constructive Argument Posted
Now that the Sola Scriptura Debate is complete, I’ve posted a Negative Constructive opening statement in the Holy Water Debate over at the debate blog, taking the position that Holy Water as it is used by modern Roman Catholicism is simply a hangover (or should that be hand-me-down/left-over …) from medieval superstition, rather than something…

Federal Vision – Status Report
According to this report, the Louisiana Presbytery of the PCA has been formally indicted for its failure to bring appropriate action against Steve Wilkins, a teaching elder subject to the jurisdiction of the LA presbytery.

This is the fifth, and final, post in my series of posts to Centuri0n. As I’ve pointed out in each of the last three posts, one should really start with the first post and read sequentially.
