An Email From Todd Friel:"In light of the current Social Justice conflagration, it seems like a good time to sharpen our discernment skills The following is an edited excerpt from my book “Judge Not.” I hope this will help us all be better Bereans.Countless discernment ministries/blogs/radio programs make their stock in trade by doing the very opposite they purport to do. These so-called watchmen on the wall have one rule and one rule only: if I disagree with you on any issue, you are a false teacher and I am going to hammer you without an ounce of grace or love.These self-proclaimed “guardians of the truth” inevitably form circular firing squads that indiscriminately fire at foes and friends alike. Nobody is safe from the slings and arrows of bad discernment ministries.This perpetually perturbed bunch is apparently unaware that there are rules of discernment. If Christians are to be good discerners, we need to understand the rules of engagement.AttitudeOur starting position should not be: everyone is a heretic except me. Our starting position should be one of love that “hopes all things” (1 Corinthians 13:7). My hope should not be that somebody is intentionally misleading people; my hope should be that I am either confused or I have misunderstood a fellow believer.Before jumping all over my Sunday school teacher because I think he said something wrong, I should assume I misheard or he misspoke. That does not necessarily mean I can’t talk to him about an issue, but my hope is that there is simply a misunderstanding.We should always judge with a humble attitude acknowledging that any correct understanding we have of the Bible is a gift from God. If everything we know about God has been revealed to us by God, how can we possibly be snooty toward our fellow saints (1 Corinthians 4:7)?Rules of EngagementThere are times we do and times we don’t need to speak up.

We are to judge the teachings of other Christians (1 Peter 4:17), but that does not mean we have to reprimand every word carelessly uttered by a fellow believer. We never turn off our Berean discernment filters (Acts 17:11). Any time another Christian speaks of spiritual things, we judge; but that does not mean we need to chirp up for each and every perceived inaccurate statement.Any time a fellow Christian acts in a questionable way, we judge. We are to point out sin in one another (James 5:20), but before you become the church busybody, there are some sins we judge and other sins we overlook.If someone commits a gross sin like murder or rape, we judge them.If someone lives in an ongoing lifestyle of unrepentant sin of any kind, we judge them.If someone is sinning in a way that brings public dishonor to God, we judge them.If someone is growing in holiness and commits a one-off sin, we do not judge them.If the person in question is a faithful pastor, then you can let it go if it involves a non-essential issue.If the context of a questionable quote is not known, you would do well to do a little research before you cry wolf. If you read a tweet about your favorite teacher that seems off, it is probably because he is being taken out of context.If you disagree with a brother, ask yourself if it is imperative that you speak to him about it. If you determine it is a subject worth engaging, then gentleness, respect, and love must be employed.If you determine it is necessary to warn others, you should speak about the person as if he is in the room with you.If you choose to publicly disagree with a believer, make it clear that you are not labeling him a heretic, unless that is your intention.

BTWN As Calvinists we kind of get use to those who oppose it not representing it properly when critiquing it. We came across a video where Pastors Ron Vietti & Jim Crews of Valley Bible Fellowship - Bakersfield, CA give what might be the very worst critique of Calvinism to ever show up on the internet.

Len and Colin explain why the bible verses they use to refute the TULIP of Calvinism are all taken out of context. There are so many mistakes that we didn’t get through them all, we will wrap it up next week.

Colin teaches us about Theonomy, tells us what his understanding is of what the bible teaches on the issue, and helps Len and Tim understand why it’s so important to those who hold the theonomic position. Last week on “The Dividing Line” James White addressed an article by Post-Millenialist Ken Gentry and he addresses some of the problems that he has with that particular eschatological position.

Colin takes Dr. White to task on what he sees as an inconsistent criticism.

If you like our show please share it with your friends via Facebook, Twitter and other social media. Look for our midweek upload of our Google+ Hangout with Matt Slick of CARM, this week he talks to YouTube atheist “Deconverted Man” who has made a series of videos ‘refuting’ Matt Slick that he named “CARM’s Harm.”
