Dear Friends: Over the last three years or so, I have slowly come to embrace the Law/Gospel distinction as well as Two Kingdom Theology. It is my conviction that these originate from Holy Scripture, and are held by some who are confessionally Reformed, especially in the Continental Reformed tradition. These tenets are also held by Confessional Lutherans. We have not been members in any Reformed church since our move to Florida last year. During the last several months, I have spent considerable time weighing the claims of both Lutheran Theology and Reformed theology, in toto, against Holy Scripture. This has not been an easy journey or study. Reformed / Covenant Theology and its accompanying soteriology (TULIP), which I have called my own for about eight years, is a very logical, consistent, and reasonable position. However, Sola Scriptura is not always perfectly consistent with our reason. Therefore, I, along with my family, have decided to embrace Confessional Lutheranism, as we believe it to be the more Biblical, Christ-centered position, as expressed in the Book of Concord. We have begun attending, and plan to join, a Confessionally Lutheran church in Fort Myers, FL. The ReformedCast podcast, located at reformedcast, will be discontinued effective immediately. Listeners may download episodes until June 15, 2014, at which time the MP3 episodes will be removed and the website shut down. Due to the nature of Facebook communication and its extremely high likelihood of talking past each other, I wish to refrain from theological debate on Facebook at this time. I have recently created a new account as Scott Oakland and have begun sending new friend requests to many who are on this Facebook account. I have begun using that Facebook account exclusively. If you happen not to be among those who have receive requests, please dont be offended, and feel free to send me a friend request if you so desire. I truly value all of my Facebook friends, and I am hopeful that this announcement will not change that. Blessings, Scott
