Pyromaniacs has posted the latest dose of Spurgeon entitled, "About Those New-Model Theologians..." As usual, Spurgeon is as relevant as today's newspaper, or more so. Here's a taste:
"I am a Radical in many things, but in the doctrines of the gospel I
would have you to be Conservative to the backbone, not for an hour
yielding any point of truth to the most brilliant thinker that the
world can produce. Thinkers are not appointed to tinker up a gospel for
us; thank God, we have a perfect gospel already. Their shifting gospel
changes about every ten years, and comes out spick and span as a new
theology, but we have grasped the old infallible truth, and we mean to
hang to it for dear life, being strong in faith, giving glory to God."
Jane Macartney, Beijing reporter from the UK's Times Online (timesonline.co.uk), informs us, "Tibet’s living Buddhas have been banned from reincarnation without permission
from China’s atheist leaders." A report issued from the State Administration for Religious Affairs says, "The so-called reincarnated living Buddha without government approval is
illegal and invalid." While I deplore the suppression of religious freedoms, I also am torn between which is more absurd -- the belief in reincarnation, or the belief that the State can regulate it. Oddly, I find myself thinking that the latter is more absurd.
And now for something completely different ...
For this, and a host of other hilarious "Po-MoTivators," see Phil Johnson's work here.
