The premise of this “debate” is wanting. 1. There is no evidence, whatsoever, within Reformed teaching which connects theology to white supremacy or any other evil identifier.. 2. All true Christians, and reasonable man, would recognize the shooter’s actions were compelled by their abandonment, not embrace of Reformed teaching. 3. No matter if a child has heard, been expose to, or can even articulate proper theology, if he is not converted and doesn’t bear fruit of his profession, he’s either in grave error/heresy or he has never been a Christian.
It’s surprising how individuals would rashly jump to the conclusion of “it’s time for a reckoning” while ignoring the obvious.
Yes, thou shall not have any gods before me and those pesky piccadilloes concerning murder, coveting, and lying are “old” covenant matters for the ancients. Right.
“Winter Solstice”. Give me a break. The solstice was celebrated by pagans worshipping the supernatural for renewing the sun. Curmudgeons, “Christian” and pagan, trying to either tear Advent down or claim sole rights to it need to reconsider the meaning of “holiday”. I set it aside to celebrate, tree, lights, and all the Advent of Him who is perpetually worthy of eternal holiday to reflect, worship, and celebrate the joy of His coming.
Praise God. No one can stay the hand of the Lord. Live out your faith brothers and sisters, may we in the indulgent West observe and be humbled. Soli Deo Gloria!
Jim Lincoln, You clearly missed the point. What Pulitzer winning George Will and David Brooks disregard is the conservative wishlist being accimplished by this ogre of a man. We are on the precipice of having a SCOTUS which may FINALLY end the Molech idolatrous murdering of babies. But, who cares? Right Jim? We should focus on how Trump is a monster and George Will won a Pulitzer’s. Good Grief, Obama won a Nobel...
Jim Lincoln, Cut and paste comments from pseudo-conservatives and intellectuals such as David Brooks and George Will holds little water relative to truth. These are the same people who have sat in ivory towers waxing fluently of Conservative principles, the permanent things, and reduction of government. But when their ideals are put to action and accomplished, they reveal their true selves and begin to complain of decorum over results. You’re nothing more than a duck and dive liberal thinly masked as a Christian. You continually spout how Christians should not be politicians but then speak from the other side of your mouth propagating the filth myths of the Left. Do us and yourself a favor and just take the mask clean off and personally defend your indefensible positions without the facade and barrage of Leftist propaganda.
The question I would ask Houston is “for which version of man did Christ die?” and “have you read Genesis?” It’s clear God made each creature after “its kind”.
Dr. Tim, If Jesus died for ALL sins then ALL would be saved. But, as you have recognized, not ALL are saved. Therefore, Jesus did NOT die for ALL sins. “All who are of the truth hear my voice...” (John 18) Only the sheep whose sins are forgiven can hear the Shepherds voice.
Margaret Sanger and the Liberal plantation master’s plan has worked. Reduce the numbers and perpetually keep a significant number of minority blacks on welfare. Yay Democrats!
Jim Lincoln, You’re incorrect. Clinton had top secret/SCI information on her private server. I worked in military intelligence and know for a FACT it is a felony to have such information on an unsecure server. Comey made excuses for by saying she didn’t “intend” to commit a crime. That’s irrelevant, he knows it, and I’m pretty sure you do as well. But, hey, why allow the truth get in the way of your commitment to Trump animosity?
“Who would Christ vote for?” He’s the one who raises and dismantles kingdoms. He’s the one who stated “render unto Caesar what is Caesar’s and unto God what is God’s”. People may vote or not vote for a particular candidate, but God in Christ is the one who chooses or allows whom He decides should sit in the seat of power.
Interesting conversation. One question to those who disagree with voting for the “lesser of two evils”: What man is NOT evil or sinful? If you say Christ, then justify your not voting on that principle, fine. But if you have voted, you have transgressed your professed position.
According to this “it’s not an illness” logic, ALL things deemed mental ILLNESS isn’t an illness either. Schizophrenia, pedophilia, necrophilia, and the like are mere preferences protected under the same logic as homosexuality, transgenderism.
