@ShoahUkraine Whatever collateral benefit occurred from the Red Army, it wasn't to the credit of communism.

@TheReelRandom It keeps civil and ecclesiastical power separate, as Christendom always taught. It does not prevent biblical content informing the civil power. Your high school juniors have been misinformed.

I taught American Government for decades. Separation of church and state is about as basic as you get. It’s not just the 1st Amendment that makes this clear. Article VI, Clause 3 of the U.S. Constitution prohibits any religious test as a qualification for federal office or public trust. That’s also a clear separation between religious belief and your right to serve in elected office. My high school juniors understood this, but a sitting Senator doesn’t?

@ket38111 What is troubling is his urging the "pouring as many resources as possible" rather than "sending as many missionaries as possible."

This is a great example of "White delusion." R.C. Sproul, "I believe that within thirty years the largest and strongest branch of Christendom will be in Africa and that it is absolutely critical that the church in the United States right now pour as many resources as possible into the emerging churches of the Third World, particularly in Africa." - p.28 Acts commentary (2010) I say this partly because Sproul was so well respected but also because he so clearly admitted, in this quote, his own love for a foreign people instead of his own people. Remember 1 Tim 5:8. Christ may shift Christendom to another continent and people, but we ought not to indirectly assist our own people's degradation in favor of another. Instead, we ought to (without neglecting foreign missions entirely) focus more on our own people in our own churches especially given their horrible spiritual condition. Remember that, although the gospel went forth to "the ends of the earth," it first went to "Jerusalem and Judea and Samaria" (Acts 1:8). Today Whites neglect their own people because they are under the delusion of racial egalitarianism. It is self-genocide.

@JennMGreenberg @JosiahForYeshua You don't know what "caused" Israel's degeneration. It certainly wasn't their obedience to God. It doesn't matter whether or not we are a theocracy. The point is, God commanded public executions, and even public participation. Therefore, it can't be intrinsically harmful.

All those executions occurred in a theocracy though. We do not currently live in a theocracy. Also, look what happened to Israel. They repeatedly became more and more violent, even burning their own children to the most vile and demonic false gods. While God's laws are holy and just, people are not. People cannot survive divine law and frequently abuse it. Everything we touch gets twisted.

This is why I’m against public execution. I know some conservatives are in favor of it. Even Charlie Kirk was. But witnessing death, especially violent death, has a profound effect on the human heart. It damages something inside you. The mentally and emotionally healthy can recover, but there are many people who are not healthy. We all remember when Charlie was shot. The abject horror we rightly felt. The grief for his wife and children. But there were some who celebrated. When Rob Reiner was murdered, many were rightly horrified and grieved. But once again, there were some who celebrated. If people can celebrate the violent murders of a Christian family man, and a movie director grandfather and grandmother, how many more would celebrate the just execution of an actual criminal? Is that good? Is it healthy for society? Do we really want to become that? In the Roman Colosseum criminals and prisoners were publicly executed; forced to fight, fed to lions, and all manner of creative methods of dying. People cheered. During the French Revolution people congregated at the guillotine to watch beheadings. Chunks of hair and body parts were sold or collected as souvenirs. Is that who we are? Is that who we want to become? Should death be entertainment? Because I guarantee you, if we have public executions, death will be our entertainment. And death will be how history remembers us.

Nothing upsets our enemies more than causally and confidently accepting their accusations about us. “You’re hateful.” Yep I hate what God hates. “You’re racist.” Yep I love my people more than foreign ones. “You’re a bigot.” Yep nature necessitates discrimination for survival. “You’re a bad Christian.” Yep that’s why I confess my sins weekly. For them failing to be perceived as a “good person” is total annihilation bc they literally do not know how to think for themselves. Without herd consensus they cannot function. Their identity collapses. Never try to explain why you’re not what they call you, it justifies their frame that social acceptance is all that matters. Reframe, survival is all that matters. Just agree with them and laugh in their face.

Want to see the rise in anti-Semitism in action? A 20-ish TradCath therapist for my 5-year-old son has quit. Why? She can't work in his Jewish preschool or our Jewish home. She codes it as "politics" and "current world affairs," but after follow-ups with the agency, it WAS because we're Jews. Or at least, we're Jews who believe that you can't claim Israel or "the Jews" somehow secretly control Trump and the U.S. government. It couldn't haven't been over me supporting the war, because — at most — I'm skeptical of the war, and have been all along. What is ironclad, however, is that there's no secret Jewish control of the U.S., via the State of Israel or otherwise. But there are a LOT of Zoomers who believe that. And a growing number of self-described traditional Catholics do, as well. In other words, the exact demographic of my little boy's therapist who doesn't want to work with or around Jews anymore. Not coincidentally, it's also the exact demographic targeted by the likes of Tucker Carlson, Candace Owens, Megyn Kelly and Carrie Prejean. You may not care about whether a health care provider refuses to work with little Jewish children. But what if it's other medical providers who won't treat Jews? Or worse? Never mind that anti-Semitic attacks in America are up almost five-fold since 2017. Do the people who have started echoing the "Israel controls America" nonsense even understand the ramifications of how that feeds anti-Semitism? Do they understand that you can't claim that "Jews" or the Jewish state are secretly leading America off a cliff and potentially into permanent ruin without inflaming anti-Semitism? Because you know who DOES understand that Jews will directly suffer from these new "anti-Israel" narratives? The very people pushing them: Tucker, Candace, Megyn, Prejean, and their minions.

@MadelaineLucyH According to some analysts, the goal is to plant the meme that will be memorable: whether that is pleasure (Pepsi generation, bouncing babes) or cognitive dissonance (arms that don't seem to be attached) or anger (negroes fondling blonds).

Ok I can explain this to you, because unlike this bunch of losers I’ve worked in marketing. What we market to you is this: An identity you want > A product > A sale Doesn’t matter if it’s a teapot or a banking app. That’s what you do with an ad. Does it make you feel smart? Prestigious? In on the joke? Cool? Safe? That’s how advertisers think. If I say “This hat is cool, and good!” that’s a 2/10 ad. If I say “This hat is the hat you wear on holiday this year when the warm Italian sun floods the vineyards” that’s already put the hat on your head and a luxury holiday. Now, most people do not like racism. I know that’ll shock you because of Elon’s whack algorithm, but most people identify as “not a racist”. Easiest way to say to someone, look how open minded we are, and you are just like us? Diversity in an ad. It’s just sales. You’re just dumb so you see an “agenda”.

What this means, of course, is that Tom is obviously instructing the lovely young ladies in his church that there is (probably) something sinfully wrong with them if they feel the guy who spent the last decade as a fat, lazy, stoned slob, often in and out of jail, who just last week got saved, stopped smoking pot, started going to the gym, and finally found a job is NOT an ideal prospect for marriage.

No voter ID, especially when combined with mail-in ballots, means the system is engineered to make fraud impossible to prove. Everyone knows that you can barely get through your week without showing ID for the most banal activities, like shopping at Costco. The only reason to ban ID is to hide massive voter fraud.

The reality is there's mass amounts of cheating in our elections. Just because there's an engineered lack of data, does not mean there isn't data to the contrary. The new CBS/YouGov poll shows that 80% of Americans support Voter ID including 80% of black Americans & 77% of

I get hundreds of comments every day accusing the Red Army of this or that, trying to trick me or others into morally siding with them. Let me say this once and for all. Whatever you are accusing the Red Army of, I think they should have done 100 times worse. The fact that we did not build a Tower of Babel from the skulls of dead Germans in the middle of Berlin means they got off easy.

Every Day on X, Michael Spangler further vindicates the decisions of the OPC, ARP, and RPCNA against him and his fellow Spanglerites. Today it's calling for "A Protestant Hitler" to be our ruler, and attacking Reformed Christian Corrie Ten Boom and her family (most of whom died in Nazi Concentration camps) for hiding Jews during the Second World War. Ironically, although they call me a foreigner who will never be an American, I could not have been naturalized as a US Citizen holding to their views, and could be denaturalized and deported if I were posting the Nazi garbage they post and repost online.

The strategy of never apologizing, never retracting, and even doubling down no matter the circumstances is a type of false performative masculinity that has absolutely nothing to do with truth or virtue. The type of man who will never correct a mistake or retract a statement is, ultimately, not displaying masculinity, but rather cowardice. He fears man rather than God.
Eli McGowan@elimcgowan

We are well past the time for Stephen Wolfe (@PerfInjust) to publicly retract his statement that Michael Spangler is “a friend and a good man.”

Lotta Christian men talking about Christian women with a promiscuous past on this app. Anecdotally, the young, churched men were more promiscuous than the young churched women when I was growing up. I am in my mid 30s. Perhaps that's changed with the younger generation. But all y'all ignoring that promiscuity is certainly not limited to women.
