Paul's Passing Thoughts

In Bill Nash’s email regarding my postings, he said that I have nothing good to say about, among others, Tim Keller. Therefore, it can be assumed that the Southwood elders endorse Tim Keller, especially since Keller was named in the same list as the apostle Paul, who I supposedly have nothing good to say about as well.

He would be correct about my view of Keller. In “The Truth about New Calvinism,” I say the following on page 70:

“Regardless of the fact that Keller’s popularity as a New Calvinist is second to none, it is well known that he is a Christian mystic:

….Endorsed Eastern Mystic feminist Adele Calhoun’s Spiritual Disciplines Handbook, also endorsed by mystic Ruth Halye Barton. ….Recommends Roman Catholic mysticism.

….At Tim Keller’s Redeemer Presbyterian Church, teaches contemplative spirituality, eastern mysticism and held classes on The Way of the Monk where students were helped to get in touch with their ‘inner monk’ – another term for the ‘inner self.’”

I took these quotes from the blog “5 Pt. Salt,” and the same blog posted the following article concerning Keller’s views on homosexuality:

I will continue to drive home the point that this is an antinomian doctrine, and they perceive Scripture as nothing more than a tool for Gospel Contemplationism. Furthermore, their continual counsel to people with serious life problems will be “more gospel.” This movement must be stopped!
