Sometimes all you can do is laugh, otherwise things are too painful.
Following a long list of purported errors, here's what the good folks at Monergism have determined (pun intended!) about our brothers and sisters who are Eastern Orthodox :
"We can only conclude that Eastern Orthodoxy is an inconsistent, unbiblical substitute for a Christ-centered Biblical Christianity."
The ultimate irony is this judgment:
"EOC unapologeticly hold that they are the one true church of Christ on earth, which alone has guarded right belief and true worship in absolute identity and unbroken succession with the apostolic church. In other words, Evangelicals have lapsed from the true faith into error, if not outright heresy, according to Orthodox believers. The salvation of non-Orthodox is, therefore, in question."
How offensive it must be for the Monergists to be treated the way they treat others!
Modernism is characterized by its demand for certainty and its belief that the present is always preferable to the past. It is also preoccupied with discursive reason, laws and formulae. From what I can tell, the Reformed Christianity espoused at this site is doing its best to live up to its modernist DNA. If only the Monergists could explain to me why modernism is the sole way to be Christ-centered, Biblical Christians!

I attended the same church as the Monergism founder, whom I greatly respect. However, I also interviewed to become part of their team and quickly found that it would not be a good fit for anyone. Certainty... err complete safety, must be nice. However, I believe it to be a rather shabby substitute for biblical assurance.
