It is good for a Christian to regularly reestablish that any recently-developed views are founded upon the Word of God. Have I followed men I trusted into error? Have I become comfortable with anything based on another man's comfort level with it?
@AliAmongFlowers The whole thing is untrustworthy: His shift from evangelical protestantism to "RCC" (his version) and her contentment with demon worship...and his contentment with her contentment with demon worship...and right wing contentment with all this offense against God. Ichabod.
Too many Christians make it sound like you'd starve to death without the local restaurant serving enchiladas on Sunday. Let the waitress go to church. Help dads choose Divine service with fam instead of golf. Bring back national Sabbath observance. We used to be a proper nation!
It's time to break my "silence."
I've decided to release a statement about my position on online reformed discourse and all these various tribal affiliations.
This will likely be my position going forward for the foreseeable future...
Rutherford on the rape of your country by Muslims and corresponding duty to punish the tyrants who let them in, as being clear by natural law.
“If a king bring in upon his native subjects twenty thousand Turks armed, and the king lead them, it is evident they come not to make a friendly visit to salute the kingdom, and depart in peace. The people have a natural throne of policy in their conscience to give warning, and materially sentence against the king as a tyrant, and so by nature are to defend themselves.”
Lex, Rex, Q24 [117]
Young men,
Whenever you meet an old fool, remember that he was once a young fool. And whenever you meet a wise old man, you are meeting someone who confronted his foolishness years, perhaps decades, before.
So look into the mirror of Scripture. See where you are foolish and confront it today. The years pass more easily than you think. If you will not deal with your folly now, time will only harden it. But if you face it honestly and repent of it, the years can turn a foolish young man into a wise old one.
Our inquiry report proves that without doubt there is an undeniable link between religion and the rape gangs.
Islam.
As a country, we need to find the courage to finally say so.
@BringePeter I've got about 20 Henty books waiting for him! He can't get past the introductory chapters. Never knew about the 2nd Bond trilogy, and will immediately order it.
RL Dabney - "All the great preachers, from the apostles to our day, whom God has honored to revive and bless his Church, have been evangelical: Ambrose, Augustine, Chrysostom, the Reformers, the orthodox Puritans, Whitefield, the Wesleys, the Tennents, Davies, Chalmers, Summerfield, Nettleton. The pure gospel usually attracts the multitude of those who hunger after God, while the Ritualist and the moralizing pulpit philosophers, after the tinsel of novelty is lost, parade their wares before empty benches."
Austin Metcalf was murdered last April.
There is no reason why a guilty verdict for Karmelo Anthony needed to take over a year.
We need swifter justice in this nation.
