Paul's Passing Thoughts

Apparently, some are surprised that I haven’t written a post in response to mega-heretic David Platt being appointed to president of the International Mission Board of the Southern Baptist Convention. I did answer one email that questioned me about this, and I hereby copy and paste my answer to the question:

No, I do not plan on writing a response to the Platt appointment for the following reason: after eight years of researching Neo-Calvinism (four years full time), I am underwelmed by the news. What happens in the present-day Neo-Calvinist church culture is deemed as expected behavior by me. Neo-Calvinism is a return to the exact same Gnosticism that saturated first century culture and wreaked havoc on the apostolic church. Most evangelicals are outright Gnostics, or unwittingly function as Gnostics. Platt’s appointment is a mere appointment of a Gnostic priest to a Gnostic institution. I have also come to believe that “church” as an institution is a Gnostic concept. True revival will only take place if Christians return to the intended model of home fellowship networks.
