Realizing I’ve heard that before: Horton Takes Manhattan 1.5

So, I’m thinking about “The Gospel in the Gospels” as the first elaboration one why Michael Horton has it backwards, and it occurs to me that I’ve heard this before.  I don’t know if Jeff signed or would sign the Manhattan Declaration or not.  As I’ve mentioned, I’m not trying to prove anyone should do so.  I’m just saying that Horton is very wrong.

So here are Jeff’s great posts.

The Gospel in the Gospels

And, since I’m making links. I’ll use this post to help keep the series together.

The issue is The Manhattan Declaration which Michael Horton condemned according to his falsely reductionistic definition of the Gospel.

So far I have only opened with the first of my responses:
