In as much, for the most part, most of the participants here take pride in being Reformed, with the early Puritan settlers an example to imitate, it seems strange that so much space is taken up with "Christian liberty", and so little with the matter of Christian discipline ala Puritanism. It is my understanding that the early Puritans in America refused to endorse what has become "santa clause season"


Any thoughts?

Yes my thoughts are that while the puritans are in general well worth imitating they are not by any means without fault. Their efforts to purify the "Church" of all things they considered "papist" went to some extremes in my opine.

Peter

If you believe what you like in the gospels, and reject what you don't like, it is not the gospel you believe, but yourself. Augustine of Hippo
