I used to be a regular listener of his show before we got rid of our home internet, but I try to download his shows still.<br /><br />Thanks for the encouragement. Yes, it is difficult to describe beliefs without using labels. On my about page, and on my original blog post I tried to go into a little detail of what I mean by my word descriptions. The Lord Jesus bless you! My family is thankful for your family and your blog.Hans Gygaxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02585786656124091095noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7979727040372247990.post-60242359823135655502015-05-14T19:27:21.496-04:002015-05-14T19:27:21.496-04:00When I stumbled upon your site I was confused abou...When I stumbled upon your site I was confused about how one could be Reformed and Anabaptist. This post makes perfect sense of it, and being Reformed, a bit "plain" in the sense that I practice an extent of worldly separation and an agrarian on top of it all my confusion is now satisfied. I wish we had different words to label ourselves. For example, I would be more accurate to say I'm "Doctrines of Grace" instead of saying I'm Reformed. But who would understand that? And I consider myself quite "plain" in my approach to making life choices concerning dress, technology, etc though I'm not part of the kapp and cape dress wearing club, which is usually the default when one thinks about "plain people."Judyhttp://onbigturtlecreek.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7979727040372247990.post-28017121498706671202015-02-17T12:36:43.757-05:002015-02-17T12:36:43.757-05:00Hi Clement, yes, I definitely advocate for Theonom...Hi Clement, yes, I definitely advocate for Theonomy. I admit that I am not fully informed about all aspects of it, and am still learning, but from what I have read and heard via audio from Rushdoony, I am definitely in agreement with it's principles. <br /><br />Interestingly, as you have hinted at, today's Reformed do not put Theonomy into practice at all; or at least, they do not put Reconstruction into effect the way Rushdoony teaches (from what I heard on pocketcollege.com). Rushdoony was highly critical of the Reformed on the lessons that I listened to, and called for much practical application of his doctrine. <br /><br />I was astonished to see how much he criticized the reformed for not taking any action in the world; considering how much Kinists and other Reformed follow Rushdoony, they do not follow his teachings at all when it comes down to real life practice. It's all head knowledge and internet theories and dreamland fantasy. You have to take little steps of action. Little steps of action is better than all the dreaming in the world.Hans Gygaxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02585786656124091095noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7979727040372247990.post-34682614142826130392015-02-17T08:12:49.518-05:002015-02-17T08:12:49.518-05:00Specifically, theonomy is often accused of being t...Specifically, theonomy is often accused of being too legalistic, and is mainly promoted by Reformed Christians. I suppose this would be another area where the Reformed are correct in doctrine, but misguided in emphasis and practice?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01426748966007820335noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7979727040372247990.post-68299743622417988802015-02-08T23:25:16.694-05:002015-02-08T23:25:16.694-05:00I'd be interested to hear your view on theonom...I'd be interested to hear your view on theonomy, given what you said here.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01426748966007820335noreply@blogger.com
