Thank you all for the conversation. Camden - I come from the Roman Catholic tradition and would be interested in hearing more about Rahner and the Reform tradition.
Check out "Introduction to Karl Rahner Christ the Center episode 623". (I'm from Anglo-Catholic tradition, and, while disagreeing with aspects of Reformed theology, find these videos excellent, and especially good on orthodox Trinitarian theology).
Can you speak to Reformed streams with in the Evangelical Free Missionary Movement in the U.S. There are both Calvinists and Neo-Calvinists in our churches. We aren't Southern Presbyterian but would like to hear about how far tge influence of this Theology in low Church background like GARB and other Reforned Baptost Churches in New England and Southern New Jersey.
I would probably use the word “elevate” rather than “perfects” because the latter suggests that creation is inherently imperfect or not entirely good. It would be easy to misunderstand that “grace” might be referring to something like the Roman Catholic doctrine of the donum superadditum if the word “perfects” is used. I prefer “grace restores and elevates nature” in order to stay consistently reformed.
How much is the CIA paying theologians to give flaccid takes on controversial figures? I can tell everyone Rutherford loved the king and John Knox would have us obey establishment. "Give up your rights ye Kuyperians..." :D
This is pretty funny since Calvinist can't stand, hate, can't get along with any non-Calvinist professing Christian and here you guys are wanting to get along with atheists' when you can't even get along with other Christians.

You are not allowed to have squabbles with Van Til at WTS.
Is Doug Wilson a neo-Calvinist? How about Meredith Kline?
I believe DW is more reconstructionist than neocal. Both are rooted in Kuyperian ideas.
Read Dynamics of Spiritual Life by Richard Lovelace Th.D. I.V. Press 1979

HOW does neo-calvinism differ from Christian Nationalism?
Maybe it should not be developed because it lacks a Social ethic and a fully developed ecclesiology, hermeneutic or social ethic.
I thought neoCalvinism was YRR.
YRR is "New Calvinism", not "neo-Calvinism." Different things.
No matter the name or differences, they both have the Satan spirit sustaining them.

Who hurt you?
Probably a ministry leader who mistook orthodoxy for orthopraxy. A call for live orthodoxy.
Bingo! Great observation. The sleazy personal attacks to your comment simply proves your point.
OFC anti-Calvinists Ad Hominem and strawman
