ellauri092.html on line 271: William Boardman worked closely with Robert Pearsall Smith, whose wife Hannah Whitall Smith, a Quaker, became well known in the movement for her belief in “quietism”. Quietism teaches that “sinless perfection” is attainable in this life and comes from inner quietness or meditative contemplation that is believed to allow God to work as all human effort ceases. Remind you of something today?
ellauri092.html on line 281: Keswick’s emphasis on emotion, signs and wonders gave birth to Pentecostalism, the Charismatic Movement and ultimately to today’s NAR movement, all facets of the same doctrinal errors. Moreover, today’s Contemplative Movement is simply a redressing of the Quaker Quietism.
ellauri092.html on line 295: …the problems in the Keswick theology are severe. Because of its corrupt roots, Keswick errs seriously in its ecumenical tendencies, theological shallowness or even incomprehensibility, neglect of the role of the Word of God in sanctification, shallow views of sin and perfectionism, support of some tenants of Pelagianism and semi-Pelagianism, improper divorce of justification and sanctification, confusion about the nature of saving repentance, denial that God’s sanctifying grace always frees Christians from bondage to sin and changes them, failure to warn strongly about the possibility of those who are professedly Christians being unregenerate, support for an unbiblical pneumatology, belief in the continuation of the sign gifts, maintenance of significant exegetical errors, distortion of the positions and critiques of opponents of the errors of Keswick, misrepresentation of the nature of faith in sanctification, support for a kind of Quietism, and denial that God actually renews the nature of the believer to make him more personally holy. Keswick theology differs in important ways from the Biblical doctrine of sanctification. It should be rejected.
ellauri391.html on line 512: Brittifilosofi Crispin Wright [en] sanoi, että "Quietismi on näkemys, jonka mukaan vakava metafyysinen keskustelu on mahdotonta." Sitä on kuvattu "näkemykseksi tai asemaksi, joka sisältää olennaisen filosofisen teoretisoinnin välttämisen ja johon yleensä liittyy tiettyä totuuden suhteen skeptisismiä, pragmatismia ja minimalismia". Erityisesti hän vastustaa positiivisten teesien esittämistä ja rakentavien argumenttien kehittämistä. Hän on puuntakaa huutaja!
ellauri391.html on line 514: Quietismi ei ole luonteeltaan filosofinen koulukunta, jos se ymmärretään systemaattisena totuuksien kokoelmana. Klusismin tarkoitus on osoittaa, että filosofiset kannat tai teoriat eivät pysty ratkaisemaan ongelmia, ratkaisemaan keskusteluja tai edistämään tietoa. Ne ovat pelkkää ajankulua luutarhaa odotellessa.
