@MickVKAY122@Aarvoll_@not_our_guy How spiritually and intellectually molested do you have to be to carry water for a self-proclaimed Luciferian and Marcionite and call Christians rightly defending our battle lines of belief pearl clutchers?
@The_Jaded_Geek@not_our_guy Interracial cuck fantasies are disgusting actually. No simping required. White women are the least likely to marry outside of their race among racial groups at roughly 10%. Seek help.
Explaining to antisocial and misanthropic weirdos why min-maxing your marriage on the basis of internet sociological statistics is cringe can't be done.
It's also probably one of most genuinely homosexual mindsets you can possibly have regarding love and marriage.
@realmikolson It really is like trying to explain why you shouldn't eat moldy dog shit
to a bunch of flies
🪰 "None of my friends have a problem with it!!!"

NXR has decided to make the stupid mistake of doing their little dance regarding interracial marriage again.
They consistently do this reframe where they try to claim guys like Pastor Lusk are advocating people go out and marry random people with incompatible backgrounds or whatever when he correctly asserts that scripturally, interracial marriages are not sinful.
As I've pointed out before, this same logic NXR uses would mandate that Christians marry people of OTHER races if modern sociological macro statistics showed that specific interracial marriage combinations yielded MORE children. A quick ChatGPT search seems to indicate various combinations of these couplings exist that yield more children on average than same race unions.
This same logic applies to divorce; black wife and white husband for instance looks like (from a brief search) to actually be a lower divorce rate on average than white-white.
Further, "significant health issues for the children" is a ridiculous exaggeration based on internet memes they have seen. By the standards of the statistical distinctions we're talking about here, Christians have some sort of obligation to not take a spouse who has a grandparent or even more distant ancestor who had Cystic Fibrosis or something. Having absolutely any family history of Leukemia would also apply here
This is such a cringe and autistic way to go around applying sloppy "natural law" claims; appealing to supposed sociological data loosely enough (and blocking people who are critical) so you don't have to actually defend your assertions publicly.
Joel Webbon's NXR has a crackpot on the team (Dale Partridge, who is in a "non-ideal" interracial marriage "against God's design") currently desperately trying to revive belief in the curse of Ham as resting on all blacks as well, which I'm sure is completely coincidental to their concerns regarding racial couplings.
WCF Ch 24:
"Marriage is to be between one man and one woman: neither is it lawful for any man to have more than one wife, nor for any woman to have more than one husband at the same time. Marriage was ordained for the mutual help of husband and wife; for the increase of mankind with a legitimate issue, and of the Church with an holy seed; and for preventing of uncleanness. It is lawful for all sorts of people to marry who are able with judgment to give their consent. Yet it is the duty of Christians to marry only in the Lord. And therefore, such as profess the true reformed religion should not marry with infidels, Papists, or other idolaters: neither should such as are godly be unequally yoked, by marrying with such as are notoriously wicked in their life, or maintain damnable heresies."
I've now spent the last three years traveling around the U.S. and the world, lecturing, preaching, and fellowshipping with pastors and parishioners.
I've learned much. I especially learned about the online culture that bleeds into congregational life. I spent hours with congregants, and especially in fellowship with men. Here is what I noticed about some of the gregarious online personalities who initially showed up with enormous zeal and quickly retreated into their ecclesial castles online.
And to me, it is fascinating, and more than a little revealing—and amusing— that many of the men (thankfully, very few were CREC) demanding a government that promotes Christianity (something I, too, affirm) and insisting that the nations submit to Christ are often incapable of submitting to their own local pastors in ordinary ecclesiastical matters.
They want presidents, magistrates, and nations to bow the knee to King Jesus (three cheers for the magisterial reformers!!!), but they bristle when a pastor or elder asks them to be patient, receive correction, demonstrate self-awareness in their social media posts, or something similar (-3 cheers for the magisterial reformers!!!). Mind you, these requests were done in a spirit of humility, and not in any way tyrannical. I witnessed them myself.
There is a deep contradiction here. Many of these guys talk like theocrats online, but they function as ecclesial anarchists. A man who cannot submit to the church he can see is not in a strong position to lecture the nation about submission to the Christ he cannot see. If he cannot be governed in the ordinary place where God has actually put him, under the leadership of a local, godly, Bible-believing pastor (Heb. 13:17), his political theology becomes performative.
This is where their Christian nationalism dies a thousand deaths. Not first in Congress, courtrooms, or constitutional debates, but in their own refusal to live out the thing they demand from others. They call for Christian order while embodying ecclesiastical disorder.
Before a man can speak credibly about Christianizing the nations, he should be able to belong somewhere. They should be willing to receive shepherding from someone and to bear with imperfect saints who don't share the same level of apocalypticism as they do. And that means honoring lawful ecclesial authority. Otherwise, his grand vision is just baptized individualism with a flag attached. And that's no way to Christianize anything.
@Ben_Dennis_@uribrito Excusing your refusal to submit to the Church with claims that the Church is the problem puts you in an unfalsifiable position where any correction from the Church is just evidence of compromise to the world. What a convenient position.
JD Hall appeared on Tucker Carlson saying that Muslims were "very kind" to Christians, didn't "tax churches," and even "took care of our holy sites."
In this brief video, I debunk these claims with the actual historical record:
@StandAndKnox@MikeWingerii Ha! That's rich, coming from your camp. Any criticism of your hallowed leaders is met with an avalanche of slander accusations.
In your recent video you sat there while Brian condemned to hell those who would criticize your work. Here is the transcript: "Um, you know, all the usual suspects are still going to post their clips and what not. And I'm not naming a lot of them because I have absolutely no res I want here I have a message for you. I have absolutely no respect for you as a person. I think you're bad people And you are actively doing harm against the church and you should repent or you will go to hell." But that, of course, is not divisive, nor slanderous, nor accusatory. No, surely not!
Man up, Eric. Stop with the anonymous stuff. You and Brian invited known, documented purveyors of Nazi ideology to your conference. You took their money. You let them sell their books. Their white supremacist flyer was passed around the entire conference and you did nothing. You sat there while Brian condemned people to hell, the "usual suspects." And now you are pretending to be all spiritual (how dare you!) in "praying for" older ministers. You are not praying for anyone. This is pure theater, and you know it. So man up, big guy. Put on your best bench press shirt and quit hiding behind anonymous spiritual platitudes. Name names. We have been doing that all along. See, when you do, then you have to actually document the slander, and THAT is when it gets tough, right? So much easier to do the anonymous "we are being picked on!" thing, isn't it? So name names, name the slander, document it like a man.
