FRANK TURK OF PYROMANIACS CLARIFIES HIS POSITION ON "WATCHBLOGGERS"

 *UPDATE* Now Frank Turk has specifically said he is not talking about Christian Research Network in the below post so I have edited the post to reflect what he has said today

Frank Turk is perhaps best known for his blogging at Pyromaniacs with Phil Johnson, who’s the executive director of John McArthur’s fine Grace to You ministry. Today he shares his “love” for online apologetics and discernment ministries such as this one in the comments section of his latest Pyro post here:

[L]et me say this as clearly as possible: telling someone to stop what they are doing when they are in the wrong is the epitome of love. This is actually a cornerstone of watchblogger ethic – that the lone Christian has the obligation to tell anyone he meets “U R DOOIN IT RONG”, as if one was Moses Lolcat, because correction (in his view) is the primary way we express love.

Unless, of course, one is talking to the infallible magisterium of watchbloggers. At that point, you had better capitulate to the anonymous league of post-apostolic, post-puritan cardinals, or expect the Spanish Inquisition. Forever.

Saying that, I love watchbloggers, and I’d love it if they all found other hobbies. Today I love them because Christ’s work compells me, and when they finally repent I’ll be overjoyed to love them for the outworking of their repentence, but less sacrificially.

Hope that helps. (Online)
