1 Cor. 7:29: "This is what I mean, brothers: the appointed time has grown very short… For the present form of this world is passing away."
St. Paul: “I will see your cultural crisis and raise you the crisis of the * eschaton *.”
@Ahhh_Bach Sorry, I had to do a little research. I haven’t kept up with MBD. I assumed he was still in line with traditional NR-conservatism. Apparently, he’s moved towards a postliberal NatCon direction. Didn’t know that! You’re correct.
@LocutusPat I’m no fan of the CoWo nonsense by any means, but I do think the trend towards “high church” ritualism and tradition is a bit of a fad that will pass. In EO and Rome, they gave their reward. But I do hope that some are evangelized in the process.
@Ahhh_Bach MBD has consistently stood on the same principles that National Review has held to for decades. The MAGA regime changes every 5 minutes on Trump’s whim, and with the populist wind. So pardon me if I don’t share your “bothsidesism” on this.
@Ahhh_Bach His point is that they don’t actually care about economics. His examples are the proof of their hypocrisy. If you don’t see that, then by all means continue to criticize conservatives who hold to the same views that most conservatives held prior to Trump.
Lutheran orthodoxy developed the doctrine of election “in view of faith” for at least two important reasons: to avoid the appearance of Calvinism in the polemical contest of scholastic theologies; and they were largely unaware of Luther’s Bondage of the Will. We can thank the Luther Renaissance for bringing to our attention things the orthodox fathers had little understanding of.
“In comparing the literary style of Prof. Charles Jacobs with that of his father it used to be said that a great advance had been made in a generation; the same could be said with respect to their theology.”
—Theodore Tappert
@JohannesFlacius It’s impressive to me that Walther and Co. (including a good number of Norwegians) recognized this prior to Karl Holl and the Luther Renaissance. But some people can’t even recognize it AFTER the Luther Renaissance. If they would just read Charles Jacobs along with H.E. Jacobs…
