The sin of the liberal church is an echo of the sin of Babel: trying by man’s own hands to create a unity in State that belongs to the Church.

[Marlin Klingensmith @EidolonOracle]

@PsalmWarfare Scare illiberals away so we don’t scare liberals away.

For unity.

@D00M42 @elimcgowan Secularism promotes atheism in the way a Christian Magistrate should promote true religion.

[Marlin Klingensmith @EidolonOracle]

@D00M42 @elimcgowan Government isn’t to establish an ultimate good: but without submitting itself to God it will become in its practice Ultimate.

[Marlin Klingensmith @EidolonOracle]

@D00M42 @elimcgowan I’m arguing that it is implicitly so, yes.

[Marlin Klingensmith @EidolonOracle]

@D00M42 @elimcgowan It’s generally understood to mean “having no spiritual basis, earthly in origin”

This is not a neutral stance: everything even nature, reason, individual or Nation will treat something as ultimate and if not God (spiritual) it will be something less and rebellious to Him.

[Marlin Klingensmith @EidolonOracle]

I’m the one arguing that having a “secular and neutral” state is a bogus idea: but it’s what liberalism created.

I’m not sure why you are treating this as an incomprehensible or unsupported criticism when you seem to agree with that.

It’s a pretty traditional Covenanter complaint since before the founding.

But yes, the Nation should have been placed Constitutionally in explicit Covenant with the true God as revealed in his infallible word.

@D00M42 @elimcgowan I’ve read Madison in the past; I looked up the summary of Federalist 10 just now.

Madison having good ideas and founding intention cannot forgive the sin of allowing deists to undermine the foundation of Truth.

@D00M42 @elimcgowan Again…

@D00M42 @elimcgowan From the compromise with deism mostly. Jefferson and his “intellectual” cohort

[Marlin Klingensmith @EidolonOracle]

@D00M42 @elimcgowan They correctly it was good. They incorrectly assumed a secular state was neutral and could maintain proper restraint on reason

[Marlin Klingensmith @EidolonOracle]

@D00M42 @elimcgowan The seeds of evil was in not establishing God as the ultimate good but man’s natural reason and the pretension that is neutral.

[Marlin Klingensmith @EidolonOracle]

@D00M42 @elimcgowan Good intentions do not forgive seeds of the evil that grows from them.

[Marlin Klingensmith @EidolonOracle]

@MichaelFKane Sounds like you might need to publish a new book. . . 😇

[Marlin Klingensmith @EidolonOracle]

@prayerborne @MichaelFKane Be careful using metal in a charging port, a plastic pick will be less damaging to the pins and avoid cross-connecting current which can damage the port further.

[Marlin Klingensmith @EidolonOracle]

@LordTemplar1 @irishpresby I omitted the quotation marks around "false" for symmetry, rhetorical irony and granting the adversarial premise.

[Marlin Klingensmith @EidolonOracle]

@D00M42 @elimcgowan I would oppose the Church binding conscience to either.

But founding liberalism begat modern liberalism.

@PerfInjust Doing good is far more important than the manner in which one does it.
