      The parable at the beginning could apply to another situation when for a decade + people were warning about these guys, but since they were Calvinists they largely got a free pass from their fellow Calvinists a until it may be too late.
      And if Calvinists in general hadn’t turned a blind eye to them, because it seemed good for the spread of Calvinism, and had been this upset about coveting, deception and stealing back when it wasn’t the left, but Stealth Calvinists doing it, we probably wouldn’t be here. It’s like the golem turned on its creators, and now we’re all suffering even more.
      It’s ironic that what was proclaimed as the only antidote to liberalism is what brought in liberalism.

      Oh man! Where to start. First, I was very much influenced, in a positive way, by Al Mohler (I've read his books, listened to his Briefing, and some of his teaching/preaching). I believe I've grown in my faith because of him, but- there's been a lot going on and I no longer listen to Al Mohler. One thing is his lack of vigilance on things like Resolution 9 in the SBC, along with him firing/letting a number of conservative Christian professors and hiring of many leftist professors, among many other things. Here's a helpful video (this guy, has lots of insightful commentary on current events). I hope this helps: ruclips.net/video/nEX1QPJrXbw/видео.html

    I think you are very kind to say some of the intellectual religious leaders are the nice guys that didn't see what was going on instead of infiltrators. But when you see the situation with the Southern Baptist Convention, you see the situation with the Modernist Catholics, the situation with the Anglicans, the situation with Mega Church leaders, the situation with Big Eva, you see the men get on stage in front of Congress and give a prayer to the Hindu God I can't help but to see a pattern. And it isn't one of nice guys that couldn't see.
    It's a pattern of those who share the same exact ideas of marriage and women with authority. And many of them share a pattern either ignoring or encouraging brotherhood of all men and religions.
    Or ensuring that non Christians lead over Christians and work against Christians having power and authority.
    And it begins to look like they belong to the same organization. One that doesn't really follow Christ but at the lowest levels invites Christians to betray Jesus Christ...for a lot more than 30 pieces of silver.

At worst they are false teachers and at best they are unreliable and have shown themselves to be disqualified as Christ's shepherds. Frankly, to call them "good men" is risky.

    One thing that may seriously be admirable about the Islamic cult is that worship of women might actually be much more under control with these characters in a general sense vs possibly literally all visible Christian churches but I mean the theology is obviously technically wildly heretical with Islam I’m just saying there may be technically positive aspects in most groups if you just look a little bit it is almost a complete certainty from my perspective that Islamic people are almost likely nearly 100% possessed by angels and likely do actually need to hear the gospel if anyone needs to know what that is they need to ask members or authorities of Christ church of Moscow, sovereign king church, reformation church of shelbyville, and apologia church I have a book called what is the gospel I think it is by a mark dever character and the Muslims do actually need to be born again for the best outcome of the wicked and the righteous in a general way truly and the glory of the only God. I would really like to see how difficult it could be to take authority over an angel in a Muslim character it does technically need to be done quite a bit and with the gospel not just to be a boss.

    Something I was learning today involved the term for bishop/overseer/elder in Titus and 1 Timothy. It seems to be a compound word that denotes the role of a watchman. Can someone more learned confirm?

      Correct. Episkopos = epi (over) + skopos (to see). That's why some translate this word as "overseer". Great observation.

    The one area I find myself disagreeing with Doug on is characterizing men like Keller, Moore, Matthew Hall as "the good guys" or the "nice guys who chumps but bring hot cocoa" like in his first illustration. Those guys he mentioned-- those guys are no bueno.
    Maybe 5 years ago when I didn't know better, I would've said Keller and Mohler were good guys - but now I know what they really believe, and not just what others around me told me to admire in them as "helpful"
    A lot of what he says is very much spot on. They warn us of fake issues or non-issues, they run around being busy-bodies, and we should be praying for good reformation and for us to endure the mess ahead.
