Talk:Reformed Presbyterian Church of North America

message: What is the Killing Time referenced under "related topics"? I have just made a disambiguation page for it..! -- Sam
The Killing Time is (obviously, according to the point of view of the victims) either
* roughly, that period of the Irish Rebellion, when some of the Irish Protestants were put to death by the British under the reign of Charles I, during and following the Bishops Wars, immediately prior to the English Civil War.
* especially, that period at the close of the reign of Charles II, when toleration of Presbyterianism was revoked, and during which some 114 opponents of episcopalianism were put to death without trial, and their property confiscated, 1684-1685. Mkmcconn 00:43, 19 Dec 2003 (UTC)
replies: text: In an RP context, it's almost certainly the latter, although I would've said 1680-1688.  -- TimNelson 05:58, 1 August 2007 (UTC)

message: While I'll admit that this article is weak on citations, Gingerscot's additions are badly in error.  Let's address several of them:
*First, the RPCS was not founded in the late 20th century.  Try reading Matthew Hutchison's The Reformed Presbyterian Church in Scotland, published in 1893; or Hetherington's History of the Church of Scotland, which gives coverage to the society period of the Reformed Presbyterian Church in Scotland in the late seventeenth century, both before and after the death of James Renwick.  You can also consult W.M. Glasgow's History of the Reformed Presbyterian Church in America, published in 1888 — the last of the external links — which pays plenty of attention to the RPCS.
*The point of "Reformed Presbyterian" is not simply that it's both Presbyterian and a Reformed Church — the point is that the denomination heeds the Second Reformation of Scotland in the mid-17th century.
*As far as the United Societies in 1690 — Glasgow's history will give you information on this.  Among these ministers was Alexander Shields, author of The Hinde Let Loose; you can find this with a Google search.
*As far as the establishment of the Church of Scotland — the Solemn League and Covenant established Presbyterianism as the religion of the Three Kingdoms, not just in Scotland.
*As far as the RPCI — there were RPs in Ireland, as well, in the 1600s.  At one point in the 1690s, David Houston, who lived in Ireland, was the only Reformed Presbyterian minister in all of what is now the UK.  There's no reason to say "of sorts" in describing the Reformed Presbytery of Ireland: it was no less a denomination than was the church in Scotland or would be the church in North America before long.

message: The main body of the article mentions the four major schism of the RPCNA. Should I add these to these to the infobox? Exodvs (talk) 23:00, 20 February 2019 (UTC)
thread_title: Schism?

message: Given RPCNA's historic practice of political abstention, should this be added to the category "Religious Abstention?" I understand that it's not a universal RPCNA viewpoint anymore, but Mennonites are listed in that category and that view's hardly universal within Mennonite communities, either.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by I'm Sight (talk • contribs) 23:19, 23 February 2021 (UTC)
