@virgilwalker Which of these options would you say this post is?

@RMTFKR11 @darwintojesus If you really want to know how that *could* have worked, you should look up "Is Genesis History" on YouTube and give it a serious listen. If you can't make it through that, there's a life-size model of the ark in Kentucky. You could make a weekend out of it.

@hannahgrieser More triumphant than you think, I'm sure.

President Trump thinks he needs to moderate on abortion to win the election. He’s probably right.

Most Americans want abortion. As Rod Dreher says, with the Dobbs decision Christians won a legal battle but we’ve lost the culture war.

There’s still a pragmatic argument for Trump. He wasn’t a social conservative in 2016 and he’s not now.

But at least he’ll address other problems – unrestrained immigration, spending and inflation, wars in Ukraine and the Middle East, censorship.

That’s plausible, but superficial. “Social” concerns like abortion and homosexuality aren’t tangential to other issues. They’re fundamental causes of all our political crises.

The living God is active among nations. He blesses and curses as nations honor or defy His Son, His Word, and His Bride.

When Israel broke covenant, Yahweh impoverished them, subjected them to aliens (Deut 28:43-44), and surrounded them with the foreign voices of invaders (Deut 28:49).

Yahweh rains down these curses because Israel pursues idols, commits fraud, sheds innocent blood, and indulges sexual immorality (Isa 57:7-8; Jer 22:1-3), which sicken the land until it vomits Israel into exile.

Let’s say the US is being invaded. Let’s agree we're less dominant than we used to. We’re drowning in debt.

Why are these things happening? As with Israel, they’re judgments on our bloodlust, sexual libertinism, greed, and idolatry.

If that’s true, we can’t fix immigration by plugging the border. As long as we keep murdering innocents, a wall isn’t going to stop the Avenger.

We won’t be head among nations unless we repent of our sexual perversions and demolish our idols, including Mammon.

Voting for a temporary fix makes tactical sense. But we shouldn’t be fooled: A President who accommodates our culture of death and prideful desire is papering over our basic problem, which is that our sins are a stench in God’s nostrils.

Those Planned Parenthood whistleblowers that Kamala charged with 15 felonies for their undercover videos back in 2017? They're back with another video that you don't want to miss

Compared to historic Reformed theology, most Reformed pastors today tend towards a kind of antinomianism. Our forefathers were willing to make much stronger assertions about the necessity of obedience. They were more fully committed to sounding like the Scriptures and less worried about being accused of legalism.

Here is Samuel Rutherford on the role of good works in salvation:

“Good works are understood to have a causative power for eternal life in three ways…..
2. That they might have an inferior and causal instrumental power conferred upon them by the grace of God, just as running is a cause of the crown which is received, contending a cause of the victory, and diet a cause of health. Neither may one be said to distinguish accurately here between a means and a cause, or between a way and a cause: for while good works are means, they are not passive, but active: a means here is an inferior cause.”

People keep posting the pictures from the opening ceremony of the Olympics. Please stop. Just tell me that they blasphemed Christ and paraded around woke faggots. I'm not saying "pics or it didn't happen."

We need to make this picture of Holk Hogan getting baptized as popular as the one of him at the RNC convention
