This book by @reformedtexan is fantastic. It may not be an *essential* companion to reading Davenant, but it certainly answered my remaining questions. It provides background that clarified much that remained obscure in my first reading of Davenant. Now to reread Davenant.
Happy Trinity Sunday!
Glory be to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Ghost; as it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.
@EddyEkofo Ah. I understand now. I have only a limited knowledge of coding, but that seems workable to me. Do you have a specific issue with that solution?
This strikes me as one of the craziest posts of all time, especially from a lib. Wilson played "Birth of a Nation" on a big screen in the White House. He single-handedly re-segregated the Civil Service.
He presided over the implementation of the income tax (you might like that, but I don't). He signed the Alien (Espionage) & Sedition Acts - I might smirk at THAT, but wouldn't expect you to. He fumbled the Spanish Flu FAR worse than Trump and Biden did COVID, and 800K people died. He campaigned as "The man who kept you out of big wars," and jumped feet first into WW1.
Just bottom 2-3 of all time, no question.
Star Wars fans will talk about the Sequels and Prequels and which ones were worse or how Rogue One was kinda OK.
But no one, and I mean NO ONE, ever brings up Solo organically.
It’s like we’ve all cleansed it from our collective memory.
@KenKirtland17@MarinTomic86677@peterrhague There is twice the amount of time between the Bronze Age and the general adoption of full plate mail as there is between Anglo-Saxon weapons and sports cars.
@ColtonYarbro To be clear, I’m not fully convinced of HU, but it is wild to see someone assert that a topic covered by the most prominent advocate of HU is ignored by HU supporters.
@suzania I said after Day 4. Gen 1 is ex nihilo, so not before then. But my understanding is that when God instructs Adam to “keep” the garden, there’s an aspect of guarding to that command. On the surface, it thus seems like there is already an enemy against which to guard it.
@ColtonYarbro Yeah. This is a big reason why my own degree at MBTS took like seven years. Scheduling and finances meant there were some semesters where I could only reasonably take one class, if that.
