@Write4Republic Interesting, so you would have no issue moving your family to Liberia which is 85% Christian and has a form of government that was modeled identically to that of the United States? Here's some beautiful Liberian waterfront property for you.
@DanCramer1514@OldFatandSkitzo@douglaswils@SlowToWrite Well you won't catch me suggesting that the longhouse has *not* ruined the laity. We are a weak men because the particular sin of women is deceit and being deceived, and our nation is cursed and under God's judgement in our being ruled by them, both ecclesially & magistrally
@DanCramer1514@OldFatandSkitzo@douglaswils@SlowToWrite I think that's an open question. Where I hesitantly land is the Lord saw fit to bless Js w/institutional pwr, & the wicked of them run rampant on us, & beyond winning them to faith, that's just how things are. Bleak but thats prob just my unsteady faith in the power of the gospel
@DanCramer1514@OldFatandSkitzo@douglaswils@SlowToWrite To me lots depends on "how preterist" one is w/respect to the eschaton. If one believes the remnant of Jews Paul speaks of is yet to be saved, we should continue to view Jews as foolish allies in need to repent
If one claims that remnant already repented & no more, then I get it
@DanCramer1514@OldFatandSkitzo@douglaswils@SlowToWrite I think no one is immune to the vapors of power and relevance. His intents should be constantly checked, as they are. I would say he has done more good then not in the grand scheme of shifting the Overton window right.
It will not be long until Webbon is considered the moderate
@DanCramer1514@OldFatandSkitzo@douglaswils@SlowToWrite I don't fault you/anyone for that perception, if not it being accurate. Doug himself has stated he is looking at his moves here as the sowing of seeds meant for a 500 year plan. It's certainly not the speed at which I hope the kingdom of God moves, but we are mites comparatively
@OldFatandSkitzo@douglaswils@SlowToWrite It's not like I keep a running list of various people's IQ and cranial shapes in my head or phone. I don't spend time worrying about it - the Lord gave different peoples different talents (numerous parables). I try to spend my time multiplying them, not complaining over others'
@OldFatandSkitzo@douglaswils@SlowToWrite Because it's easier to remember one group of people in my head with high IQ than it is to hold a litany of low IQ folks. In fact I only remember two above avg IQ folks: Askenazi & Chinese
My supposition would be that low IQ generally are most subsaharan Africans, middle easterns
@OldFatandSkitzo@douglaswils@SlowToWrite Also you wear "Old Fat" in your moniker like it's something to be proud of, that you desecrate your body, a temple for God, and do it with pride (why else do it). Still rotten even if only as a joke.
When was the last time you were in church brother? Are you a brother in Christ?
@OldFatandSkitzo@douglaswils@SlowToWrite Ironic you decry others such as Klavan for heretical views but cling to your idolatrous use of harsh words. Your answer to scripture directly rebuking your behavior is to double down. Its very telling that you are of the ilk who profess Christ but do not bow to him. You have time
@OldFatandSkitzo@douglaswils@SlowToWrite I'll say this - performance in people groups seems to me a mixture of IQ, tribal interconnectedness, & institutional control
Jews (Askenazi) have above avg, IQ, look out for each other, and through that, have taken control of most institutions.
Low Per. Ppl fail one of those 3
@OldFatandSkitzo@douglaswils@SlowToWrite As for the WWII stuff, I'm uncertain of what you talk about.
WRT the Jews, it's clear the Lord created in them a high performance people. The Bible holds that we continue to pray for their repentance. The wicked in them is only amplified by their high performance. Nasty stuff.
@OldFatandSkitzo@douglaswils@SlowToWrite Yes, you can. But it wouldn't be an accurate claim.
Maybe my point wasn't clear. Klavan is wrong in those claims. But he is part of an instructional machine capable of cultural shift; seems to me Doug wants to be in on that, while slowly kneading orthodox teachings into it.
@OldFatandSkitzo@douglaswils@SlowToWrite Unless you actually consider me a buddy, I don't see the point in condescending.
It's not okay to do that, and yet he does. But Doug is not. And I believe him to be pragmatic in his approach. You cannot deny he is the one breaching as far as, for now, into the War Dept. Further?
@OldFatandSkitzo@douglaswils@SlowToWrite One need not agree with, and can even detest, certain views of co-belligerents. But at the very least the ones he associates with have actual magistral power, and/or cultural power. The other dudes have podcasts and dissident soap sponsorships
@OldFatandSkitzo@douglaswils@SlowToWrite Doug is pragmatic - notice his circles involve institutions & highest levels of government. He is working the angle that can actually impart cultural shifts
Ogden et al, & God bless them for much, have no such connections. They preach righteousness (usually) merely to each other
@RJR1225@CNN@RachelBitecofer Strong women don't attempt to usurp the roles the Lord exclusively assigned men to; rather, they act counter to their nature, which is to have a quiet and gentle spirit, not to speak in an authoritative manner when it comes to the word of God
