DeYoung and Doug Debate

Kingdom Polemics

In this episode, Aldo Leon reviews and critiques Doug Wilson's YouTube video response to an article written by Kevin DeYoung on the Moscow mood, the cultural and theological project led by Doug Wilson. Leon argues that DeYoung's article is too flattering and weak, and that Wilson's response is narcissistic and evasive. Leon also points out some of the rotten fruits and false teachings of Wilson's ministry, such as:

• Paedocommunion: Wilson advocates for giving the Lord's Supper to infants and toddlers, which Leon considers a form of baptismal regeneration and a violation of the regulative principle of worship.
• Muddling First Table Matters: Wilson downplays the importance of doctrinal differences on essential matters of the gospel, such as justification, covenant theology, and the law, and instead focuses on second table issues of sociology and culture.
• Cult of Personality: Wilson attracts followers who are obsessed with his rhetoric and style, and who are unwilling to criticize or question his authority. He also seeks to associate with credible people from other circles to gain legitimacy and influence.
• False Ecumenism: Wilson invites people from various backgrounds and traditions, such as Anglicans, Roman Catholics, and Greek Orthodox, to join his denomination and his Christendom project, without requiring them to adhere to the Reformed confessions or standards.

Leon challenges Wilson to be more faithful to the Reformed faith and to repent of his errors and sins. He also warns Christians to be discerning and not to be deceived by Wilson's worldly appeal and mood.
