This is a fair observation

Todd Bordow proved himself to be an interesting, non-lukewarm voice over at GreenBaggins awhile back. This quote from him today is a fair observation I think too:

That would be sad indeed if that blog was Robert T’s [he meant Robert K's]. But then again, sometimes the emotionally and psychologically unstable, who find self-justification for their unpleasant personalities by separating from “evil” people and seeing black and white in everything, have been spot on historically in some of their critiques. Anne Hutchinson did rightly discern the legalism in the New England churches, though she was somewhat nutty herself.

I mean, I wouldn't describe myself as unstable (though I can see how others would), and I have a classical understanding of biblical doctrine unlike, perhaps, an Anne Hutchinson type, yet nevertheless the above is a fair observation.

There's always been a tension between what I call church Christians and order Christians. Order Christians are Christians who have found the school knowledge within the Bible, perhaps aided by extra-biblical language, but not necessarily so. School knowledge is practical level knowledge. It tends towards being on the Way and the spiritual warfare that entails as opposed to being within a worldly group and the worldly demands and values that entails. The Bible is on the side of the former.
