Iron Ink - Horton, Frame, & Goldilocks
Posted using ShareThis
Another tagline in the on-going debate between Dr. Horton and Rev. Frame. This particular take is not helpful and appears to be a read from a theonomically-oriented perspective.
Upon first view, it appears to be academic. It's not. It goes to two different visions on the churches in the United States, broadly speakly.
It should be noted that regular users of the classic book of Anglican Prayer, 1662, has law and gospel along with justification by faith alone suffused throughout. Even the Anglo-Catholic liturgical scholar, Gregory Dix, acknowledged this to be Cranmer's theme.
A regular BCP-man, by training and disciplined piety, must incline to Horton's perspective.
Almost every Reformed person agrees with Law and Gospel categories. The rub is how the third use of the law gets used in that paradigm. (Or if it gets used for that matter.) Indeed, some people in the R2Kt movement even seem to have problems with the politicus usus aspect of the law. As the writer of Iron Ink I am four square behind justification by fatih alone. I'm just not four square behind justification by antinonianism alone.
ReplyDeleteThanks Bret.
ReplyDeleteParagraph one above applies to you.
Paragraph two does not, but applies to the Horton-Frame conflict, to wit, the debate is not about secondary matters, but about important matters.
Justification by antinomianism hardly can be made against Horton or Clark.
public square antinomianism is more certainly a case that can be made against Horton and Clark.

Horton and Clark talk about justification by antinominianism?
What is that about?
In your second post, you said:
"public square antinomianism is more certainly a case that can be made against Horton and Clark."
It's your case to make. Have you tried arguing this case at HB?
No, why would I do that? My posts would just disappear as has happened in the past. I have argued it at Iron Ink w/ Clark and Hart in the past. You can access those discussions under my "R2Kt" section at Iron Ink.
