don't hold your breath. On the subject of pretended holy days Sproul takes the Anglocatholic view, and sacred history? I thought that was a term for scripture? The confusion doesn't surprise me given his stance on holy days. In fact when I see someone say, we don't believe it is a holy day, who in the world believes that? Historically I'll give them the anglocatholic view by such as Hooker and of a modern so called Presbyterian who says nearly the exact same thing. See here.

Thanks for the permission to breath ...as if I was going to hold my breath till RC repents of this unbiblical and confessional position.

Long time supporter of Ligonier, but I always have to ignore them during the month of December because of their love for the Christ-Mass.

I thought the X stood for Xaturnalia.
