Over two weeks ago, on May 9th, I sent out an article entitled:
Free Presbyterianism is fast abandoning the separatist stand
I sent copies to the officers of Presbytery because I had issued a challenge to them in the article.
FREE PRESBYTERIANISM IS FAST ABANDONING THE SEPARATIST STAND TO WHICH GOD CALLED IT AND WHICH SAW GOD’S ABUNDANT BLESSING FALL UPON IT IN DAYS WHEN IT WAS FAITHFUL TO THAT STAND!
The likes of Danny Roberts, openly a neo-evangelical and anti-separatist, is welcomed into Free Presbyterian pulpits and representatives of the party supporting murder and terrorism, Sinn Fein, welcomed and lauded in a Free Presbyterian meeting organised to support the ‘Gaelitising of Northern Ireland’. Furthermore, worldly music, long opposed by our church, is now all too evidently employed in some congregations and open opposition to such is resisted and condemned.
This drift began with the sad decision of Dr Ian Paisley in 2007 to enter a ‘power-sharing’ deal with Sinn Fein/IRA.
These things and others of the same ilk have taken place and they are either excused or ignored by the leadership of our Presbytery.
It is all too evident to many Free Presbyterians that there is an abandoning of our historic separatist stand and that can only lead to the judgment of God falling upon us for such rebellion.
I challenge the Moderator and Clerk of our Presbytery to deny what I say and show why I, and many others, ministers and elders, are wrong in our concerns.
I have had no reply from any of the officers of Presbytery to this challenge! (more…)
