Being surrounded with every conceivable kind of revolt from infancy, Gabriel had to revolt into something, so he revolted into the only thing left—sanity.
With some recent life changes and a close call with a potential doxxer, I've decided to retire this alt-account; at least for the meantime.
Keep your stick on the ice.
Bulwark is a military term. It doesn't necessarily imply quality or virtue, it just means a wall, a defense. White evangelicals are numerous, but it doesn't mean they are noble. But as a block, they are the only conservative Christians standing against the chaos of the left.
@virgilwalker@D_B_Harrison@PerfInjust There is only one church, but within the church there are different ethnic and cultural subgroups. This has been true since the first century. To say that within the contemporary American church, one particular cultural or ethnic group is holding the line isn't innacurate.
@virgilwalker@D_B_Harrison@PerfInjust As others have noted elsewhere, the first divisions in the church (in Acts) were along ethnic lines. The hellenistic widows. These divisions are real. Your podcast, which I thoroughly enjoy, is often aimed at the 'black church,' which makes your reaction all the more confusing.
A couple of years ago, I (with elder approval) got rid of the non-fiction section of our church library. It was not without some controversy. The library was an old mainstay and had served the people here well for a number of years.
I can't wait for the year 2040 when the current thing is climate change and major "conservative" denominations start classifying "climate change denial" as a 9th commandment violation worthy of church discipline
@TheDailyGenevan@smashbaals Unfortunately, many of them got caught up in Dispy eschatology and they failed to build support structures for their churches and church families. Most IBF churches failed to disciple the second and third generation. IBF are largely in decline and retreat.
When the global Communist cabal starts to persecute dissidents in earnest, don't expect #BigEva or SBC elites to defend you.
They wouldn't do it for Christian conscience vs Statism, or for something as basic as Marxian partiality being a Scriptural abomination.
