Dissenting Presbyterians, episode 1: Sunday Whispers

Dissenting Presbyterians is a new series by the Pactum Institute. Join our friends as they navigate their way through an ecclesiastical wasteland.

In this first episode Mark and Ryan discuss how young Presbyterian men have been alienated by liberal clergy.

"The heterodox doctrine of Propositional Covenantalism espoused here denies the very real significance of God-given covenantal structures as part of God's redemptive plan and is at odds with the historic Covenantal or Federal theology set forth in the Reformed Confessions"

The latest Quarterly Report has just been mailed out to all Pactum Members.

"The Bible never commands us to obey unjust laws that contradict God's will, and yet in 1 Peter 2:13 we are commanded to submit to 'every ordinance of man for the Lord’s sake.' It therefore follows that legislating, if done in accordance with the principles of God’s law, is not unjust."
