Disobeying the Golden Rule
I must admit that I turned to David Gay’s new book on the period between “the break with Rome and the rise of the Particular Baptists” with some reserve, knowing that the author has antagonised many by his anti-Trinitarian claim that the Son and the Father had contradictory wills, reflected by irreconcilable contradictions in the Scriptures. My reservations proved to be justified. I have seldom read such a disturbing …

The Free Offer: Biblical and Reformed
By David Silversides
Marpet Press, 2005
Yet another former sturdy defender of the faith now endorses a deceitful gospel which outclasses the errors of older Liberalism. David Silversides has joined such modern apostles as John and Iain Murray, Malcolm H. Watts, Phillip R.

… and pleading with them to believe, that has been my calling since I was a teen-ager!
David Gay is no doubt a better Calvinist than I am but this is missing the point. Gay’s critical, psychological evaluation of the Trinity and the Word of God make it, I believe, impossible for him to grasp the full height, width and depth of the glorious gospel of salvation. My point is that though Gay would preach the gospel to all, and is to be recommended for his zeal, his mistaken theology …

David’s political kingdom did not outlive his life-time and after Edom left the confederacy, the nation gradually split into two. With the Exile and the Greek and Roman periods, Jewry spread to many countries and altered their ethnic components. Ex-Jews were absorbed into non-Jewish families. Nowadays, most Jews cannot trace their ancestry back more than three or four generations as there are …
… who commits adultery in his heart and covets another man’s wife. We know from the sad example of David that the very best of men are not immune to this kind of sin and David’s adulterous thoughts and actions were used by God to drive him to his knees and pray such deep prayers of repentance as we find in Psalm 51. When David was on his knees in repentant prayer, he was in the place the law was designed to put him. Nevertheless, David knew that he was not forced to his knees by his own …
Hawker’s Guidebooks to Zion

… in the logical harmony of Scripture in bringing this salvation home to the sinner, such writers as David Gay are tearing the churches apart and actually boasting that such disunity fosters church growth! What has Hawker to say to these modern contenders for forked paths to heaven? His readers will find that his message is a God-given antidote to this modern plague.
Hawker was confronted with the very same heresy in his day. This prompted him to write on the Trinity. His opponents …
