But the level of humility is nowhere near high enough to allow him to accept what God is actually teaching. I can't say I blame him. I was there for a long time.Randyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16751516602395247675noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7609203224961032874.post-68662575514514240752010-09-22T08:42:50.098-06:002010-09-22T08:42:50.098-06:00It's really Sola Mohlera.It's really Sola Mohlera.Brandon Vogthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01658116461483425280noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7609203224961032874.post-57431470557724709292010-09-22T08:40:30.725-06:002010-09-22T08:40:30.725-06:00Conservative protestants like Dr Mohler do want to...Conservative protestants like Dr Mohler do want to respect tradition and they don't want to make every doctrine optional. Yet they are committed to Sola Scriptura. Then somebody says they studied the bible and they think abortion is just fine. Dr Mohler know in his heart this is not acceptable as Christian teaching but he does not know why. He can accuse the person of being dishonest in his scripture study. He can say the person is a quack and should just be ignored. Those don't seem charitable and they are basically unprovable. <br /><br />The only other option is to deny Sola Scriptura. He is kind of doing that here. Not quite but he seems to think there must be something beyond scripture to sort all these matters out. He takes a stab but does not ask where it comes from.Randyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16751516602395247675noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7609203224961032874.post-9190139569218607712010-09-21T19:17:57.076-06:002010-09-21T19:17:57.076-06:00Great writing and analysis, Randy--one of favorite...Great writing and analysis, Randy--one of favorites from the blog so far.<br /><br />It all boils down to this: why should I believe what Mohler claims is first-order or third-order in 'importance'?<br /><br />As Mohler advocates for doctrinal purity, dogmatically defines a hierarchy of truths, all while appealing to early church councils, he sounds very Papist.<br /><br />I'm finding more and more as I read the leading Protestant figures that most are ideologically Protestant but practically Catholic--they recognize that the Protestant scheme just doesn't work when extended to its natural conclusions.Brandon Vogthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01658116461483425280noreply@blogger.com
