Were you aware that you were posting this on pretty much the 10 year anniversary-mark of this great debate? (Sept. 12th, 2003.)
No, I wasn't aware of that. Thanks for pointing that out, Brandon. Richard Mouw claims to be an Evangelical and a Calvinist. Nothing could be further from the truth. Fuller Theological Seminary teaches that the Bible is only inerrant in a limited sense. Inerrancy only extends to the theological concepts they accept but in matters of science, history, geography, mathematics, etc., the Bible errs. Paul K. Jewett was once a student of Dr. Gordon H. Clark when Jewett was in college. Jewett at first endorsed biblical inerrancy but later rejected it because of his view that men and women are equal and that women are no to submit to their husbands. Later Jewett went further than that and endorsed homosexuality as a gift of God. What is ironic is that Fuller was started by four men who were solidly in favor of biblical inerrancy. Harold Lindsell's book, The Battle for the Bible, lays this out clearly.
Mouw doesn't like the true God. I like to go to a Classical concert now and then, or to watch a play, etc., but as I watch things like that and appreciate art-forms and beauty, etc., I don't ever think, "This is so wonderful that God must love and desire everyone involved!" No... But I do pray that God would have mercy on them, yet according to His will. There could even be some of God's elect right there, performing for me. I don't know. If it weren't for God's Own orchestration, I wouldn't even be attending, and none would be performing. It's all God, and for God, and through God.
Inerrant in a limited sense? Ha. Contradiction in terms. The Bible doesn't err on those subjects anyhow.
Looks like Jewett was never a believer in the first place. What a trip it is to imagine studying seriously under Gordon Clark, and then later ending up with views like those.
I know that Piper enthusiastically and publicly endorses D. Fuller.
