R2K … Walks Like An Egyptian?

If you were an Egyptian Christian Minister and were R2K you would have to tell your congregation that Morsi’s attempt to implement Sharia law upon all Egyptians was none of the Church’s business.

AND you’d have to tell your people that they were sinning by protesting the Morsi government.

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. Van Til, H. Van Til, G. H. Clark, C. Dawson, H. Berman, R. Nash, C. G. Singer, R. Kipling, G. North, J. Edwards, S. Foote, F. Hayek, O. Guiness, J. Witte, M.

Henry, G. Marten, P. Schaff, T. S. Elliott, K. Van Hoozer, K. Gentry, etc. My passion is to write in such a way that the Lord Christ might be pleased. 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.

  2. Why would an “R2K” preacher discourage people from protesting? Wouldn’t their position be to say nothing either way?

  3. I have seen it go both ways…

    If an R2K advocate has nothing to say, then he has nothing to say… (Horton, Hart)

    If an R2K advocate does say something, it is from a very neutered worldview… (Clark, Tuininga).. You know.. we should be outraged as ***citizens***, but not as Christians… But this is a falsely dichotomous situation…
    Of course as a citizen, we should be concerned…

    But we all come from presuppositions that inform our hearts that yields the reactions that we have… Some from consistently Christian presuppositions… (theonomic, neo-cals…) etc.. Some from inconsistent Christian presuppositions… (R2K-ers…)

    It is sad that the R2K-er’s inconsistent presuppositions yield such ruinous results as a neutered worldview or simply not caring that our society has reduced to mating with goats..

    I even heard a radio commercial today that was advertising a cruiseliner and had a woman narrating and saying that she was married to a dolphin… It is wonderful how something as ridiculous as marrying an animal is now somehow acceptable. So, you know, I am outraged as a consumer, but not as a Christian…

    1. Christopher,

      But Horton has said he has no problem with sodomite civil marriages. That is saying something. And Hart’s insistence that we should not say anything about the public square is saying that we should not oppose wickedness in the public square.
