Some Reformed scholars, such as Kersten, would take issue with Hanko's blanket statement that the Canons are Infra. Kersten vehemently rejects that idea on the basis of the fact that key members of the Synod, such as Gomarus, and the president, Bogerman, were supra. It seems quite unlikely that they would knowingly sign off an a document that would be binding upon their churches which they had substantial disagreements with doctrinally. Personally, I think this point has merit. The same could be said for Westminster. The prolocutor of the Assembly was William Twisse, about as supra as one can get.<br /><br />I am not affiliated with the PRCA. I have many friends in the denomination and have nothing but respect for them. I just enjoyed this work by Hanko and it gave me the type of material I was looking for t post here - historical info on folks who deserve more recognition.Andyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02908788730958708701noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5331156725554508589.post-20552415215223838332013-12-30T17:40:36.899-06:002013-12-30T17:40:36.899-06:00It is interesting that I also recently wrote a sho...It is interesting that I also recently wrote a short blog post on supralapsarianism. Maybe there is something in the air! The Westminster Assembly worked hard to avoid excluding either side of the supra-infra division. the consensus was that both are legitimately within the Reformed camp. I'm curious, Andy: are you connected to the Protestant Reformed Churches?Chris Colehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08235793234791146943noreply@blogger.com
