The Highway Forums General Discussion Open Forum John Armstrong

Marie, if you would read what I wrote about Armstrong again, you will see that I have not charged him with actually embracing NPP, although it would appear that he has, at least in my own estimation. At best, he has shown himself to be sympathetic to N.T. Wright's premises and view. Just so that I am not misconstrued as saying something I didn't write, here are my exact words:


Can we listen to what Armstrong says about other issues . . . ? I don't see why not? His writings on other subjects up and until a few years ago were excellent. It is where issues that are somewhat related and depend upon Sola Fide and perhaps other doctrines, that one should be more careful. But we should read everyone with a discerning eye, with Bibles open, should we not?

Why God allows some notable men and women to fall into doctrinal error and/or impurity of life is ultimately known only unto Him. What I do know is that but for the grace of God, go I.

1 Corinthians 1:26-31 (ASV) "For behold your calling, brethren, that not many wise after the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble, [are called]: but God chose the foolish things of the world, that he might put to shame them that are wise; and God chose the weak things of the world, that he might put to shame the things that are strong; and the base things of the world, and the things that are despised, did God choose, [yea] and the things that are not, that he might bring to nought the things that are: that no flesh should glory before God. But of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who was made unto us wisdom from God, and righteousness and sanctification, and redemption: that, according as it is written, He that glorieth, let him glory in the Lord."

In His Grace,
