@SpacestronautC@Protestia I was in youth ministry at the time and when I watched the preview episode at the Christian book store, I just remember thinking "I don't get it." It was supposed to be deep, I guess, but it just seemed like nonsense. I thought there was something wrong with me, but I guess not.
Progressivism as a political ideology is almost entirely motivated by covetousness. This doesn't mean that conservatives are therefore not covetous. We are all susceptible to this sin. Progressives mask this sin in language of love of neighbor and not only deceive others but themselves as well.
There is a pertinent question here. You reference 2 sides and differing views of particular individuals. What exactly are those 2 sides? What are those differing views?
The hesitation to call out antisemitism in the right can really only be explained by complicity, cowardice, or cynicism.
I thought you were joking until I saw your follow up. No, I don't think you can blame Phil here. The What's in the Bible series is actually incredibly good content and was made before Phil went woke. It's 100x better than Veggie Tales and makes what Phil has become that much more sad.
I watched an interview with Rhett and Link before they apostasized where they talked about pitching Phil on giving them a full-time gig in his company, implying that their time spent with him was quite limited. Obviously, Rhett was never a genuine believer, but who knows what might have happened had they been hired by Phil. They went to Hollywood afterwards and we see how that turned out.
“Theological errors don’t usually begin as intellectual mistakes. They begin as moral compromises. A pastor sins, and it troubles his conscience. Instead of repenting, he escapes his guilt by changing his theology to suit his behavior. The heresy is the new belief system that validates what he’s doing and silences what he’s feeling. The doctrine adjusts to accommodate the sin, not the other way around.”

Good word. Having children helps me to understand my own consequences better. I try to do what I can to encourage them to keep their conscience working properly and I am so grateful to God when I see them following their conscience. My 15 year old wrote a simple apology note to my wife last night, and neither of us know what he is really apologizing for, but obviously, his conscience was bothering him. I pray he continues to listen to it and I pray that he and his siblings will be able to look to me as a positive example.
@LostMyHats@realmikolson You said they were very kind to Christians. You also said that they rebuilt the Church of the Holy Seplechure 3 times. Have you retracted those statements?
@not_our_guy@jonharris1989 His attitude stems from the same mentality of the current democratic socialists who have done nothing with their life besides activism for the destruction of society. They are so sure of themselves that they have never stopped to consider are they worthy of being followed.
Btw, I don't need any media to tell me that my country and the rest of western civilization is being flooded with Muslims and that Islam is an evil ideology that has created untold amounts of suffering in the world. To argue that "Muslims were actually very kind to Christians" is propaganda of the highest order that only a Muslim or a rabid antisemite would swallow.
@GoyWoke@LostMyHats@roddreher@RaymondIbrahim5 Are you really this dumb? You say, on the one hand the evil Jooooos are importing a bunch of Muslims. On the hand Muslims are actually not bad. Get your story straight.
I have benefited greatly over the years from Alistair Begg's ministry and teaching. I have gone out of my way to attend a conference so that I could hear him preach in person. And of course, I don't agree with him on everything. But disagreement is not really the issue. The issue was his lack of humility. He refused to take correction and even implied that his critics were sexual deviants. His response grieved me much more than his unbiblical advice.
The problem with this this defense of his advice (a defense Alistair Begg employed) is that he gave it on a show that is meant for the express purpose of instructing believers in applying the Word of God to their lives. On top of that, the ministry is called "Truth for Life." If that doesn't imply that what is being taught is meant for personal application by the listener, then words cease to have any real meaning at all. He was wrong in his advice, and he made it worse by refusing correction. So disappointing.
@GoyWoke@LostMyHats@roddreher@RaymondIbrahim5 Just another example of how being an antisemite makes you stupid. Your meme assumes that Muslim immigration is a problem. But now you're arguing it's not. Which is it? Are the Joos evil for importing Muslims, or are Muslims our friends? Can't be both.
