R2K & Sola Scriptura

Darryl keeps trying to wave his hand insisting that Stellman’s departure has no implications for R2K. He writes,

First, on the matter of sola scriptura, 2k theology does not pit ecclesiology against the word of God but in fact limits the ministry of the church precisely to what Scripture teaches.

But R2K does pit ecclesiology against the word of God every time R2K insists that God’s explicit word is not the norm that norms all norms in the common realm. When R2K introduces limits upon the ministry that the Scripture does not recognize, at that point R2K pits ecclesiology against the word of God. As such Stellman’s need for a high ecclesiology as found in R2K translates well in his move away from sola scriptura.

I am a Pastor of a small Church in Mid-Michigan who delights in my family, my congregation and my calling. I am postmillennial in my eschatology. Paedo-Calvinist Covenantal in my Christianity Reformed in my Soteriology Presuppositional in my apologetics Familialist in my family theology Agrarian in my regional community social order belief Christianity creates culture and so Christendom in my national social order belief Mythic-Poetic / Grammatical Historical in my Hermeneutic Pre-modern, Medieval, & Feudal before Enlightenment, modernity, & postmodern Reconstructionist / Theonomic in my Worldview One part paleo-conservative / one part micro Libertarian in my politics Systematic and Biblical theology need one another but Systematics has pride of place Some of my favorite authors, Augustine, Turretin, Calvin, Tolkien, Chesterton, Nock, Tozer, Dabney, Bavinck, Wodehouse, Rushdoony, Bahnsen, Schaeffer, C.

It is my hope that people will be challenged to reconsider what are considered the givens of the current culture. Your biggest help to me dear reader will be to often remind me that God is Sovereign and that all that is, is because it pleases him.

  1. I see Stellman himself has joined in with Darryl to deny that his R2k has anything to do with the denial of Sola Scriptura.

    I’d think the last person we would rely on to give an objective assessment of the effect of one’s abberant views is the person who holds aberrant views which he denies are aberrant views.

    1. At this point Stellman has lost any transcendent reference point in order to make any analysis. In denying Sola Scriptura Stellman has embraced subjectivism. Why should anyone think him objective?

  2. Agreed. One response he might give is that he can find his transcendent reference point in natural law.
