Bluegrass Presbyterian

@ehenes Looking forward to the debate

Reductio ad Machen is now a new logical fallacy. Zoomers crashing out over a guy being faithful to the Gospel 90 years ago. Crazy.

@ShawnieTwoZero @SwannHnesce @redeemed_zoomer

@SwannHnesce @redeemed_zoomer Yes. I have that there because we have nearly the same Theology due to being in the same denomination, and he's basically the only Protestant that ever calls out schism as sin, so I am quite the fan. Also the autism just comes with the Calvinism

This aspergian lackey of @redeemed_zoomer is perfect for him.

@JoelWebbon @mdvirgilio @TheBird696969 This is congregational cope

SBC polity allows for the faithful in the pews to win. Unfortunately, Presbyterian polity ensures that the managerial class is uncontested. Therefore, Presbyterians always have only one course of action: Particularize another presbytery. This is what they have done before, and will inevitably do again. Smaller each time, until we actually win politically and culturally. Then all the Presbyterians will follow suit. We must only win at the top - a new crop of elite young men are being forged right now in back rooms, and slowly infiltrating the halls of power. You think I’m too extreme, but grandchildren will thank me once we’ve won. You’re welcome, and God bless.

The Presbyterian Church of America (PCA) had a reputation of being “the conservative one” not even a decade ago. But over the last few years, they’ve developed the reputation of sliding into liberalism at breakneck speed, refusing to discipline “gay Christian” pastors, or churches having female, pro-gay clergy preach to their congregations. It’s become a denomination that’s perfectly fine with a Cultural Marxist like Tim Keller, but driving out of its midst pastors who make female congregants nervous by being a little too honest about what the Bible says regarding gender roles. Now, one more PCA pastor is gone, and the exhibits used to convict him include Facebook posts in which he wasn’t charitable enough toward Russell Moore and David French. Welcome to today’s PCA, which is basically indistinguishable from yesterday’s PCUSA. Appleton taught that a wife - hold on to your pants, because it’s going to get crazy - is of “lower rank” than her husband. He taught that husbands function as kings who rule and govern their wives, and that they operate in something like a prophetic and priestly role toward them. He said Eve’s transgression had consequences for womankind as a sex. He said a single woman’s calling, absent marriage, is to find a husband. These are, of course, all fundamentally true things, and a generation ago, would not have been controversial at all. They are not different teachings from those common in the PCA, but he did speak them differently. He spoke and/or wrote them without the fear and trembling with which they are ordinarily spoken. Pastors are supposed to pontificate, equivocate, and apologize when teaching these things. Appleton taught them like he was actually proud of what the Bible taught, not like “sticky subjects” sandwiched between long-winded explanations to help them be more palatable to a congregation full of feminists. What is happening inside the PCA is only slightly different than during John Knox’s era. He wrote of queens who ran the kingdom. Today, it’s queens who run the church. It is a Women’s Ministry Coordinator drafting theological concerns about a Titus 2 sermon and having it accepted as evidence in a heresy trial, while the men who ordained her pastor sit on the commission that convicts him for being a tad too enthusiastic for and not apologetic enough about the Bible’s clear teaching. Watching the PCA fights on X has also been instructive, with an army of militant women and the men who stand behind them, lauding the PCA for its “courage and decisive action.” Some, already looking for “who’s next,” are essentially scouring social media to find another PCA pastor who has tweeted something that might raise the hackles of the women in their congregation. Some on X are already making suggestions, and positing anonymous accounts that may or may not be run by PCA pastors. A big, bloody chum bucket has been thrown into the water, and sharks are already circling.

@_Justinien_1er_ @MintyMania2 @GeoChonker Read Barth and Torrance 🙂

@MintyMania2 @GeoChonker I believe in God and I pray to Him daily, but I cannot be sure He exists as I've never seen Him.

I knew nominal Catholicism was a big thing but Orthodoxy at only 55%??? Whats up with that

I’m literally a modern day John Locke

@JoelWebbon The PCA needs to have a schism. Schism is the only right answer

I’m unsure about the validity of schismatic’s sacraments. They divide the visible body of Christ, unsure still if they divided the invisible body of Christ.

@ShawnieTwoZero @LutheranAnswers

@LutheranAnswers Yes, leaving is schism. Schism is worse than homosexuality. Schism is worse than murder. Schism is worse than genocide. Schism is as bad as heresy. If you can stay in the Church, but you don't, you have committed damnable sin. This is what the Church Fathers said. Repent.

NEEEOOOOOOOOO WAKE UP FROM YOUR CONFESSIONAL CHURCH THAT TEACHES SOUND DOCTRINE NEO YOU NEED TO STAY IN THE MAINLINE FOREVER NEOOO YOUR CHURCH MARRIES GAY COUPLES AND ORDAINS HERETICS BUT LEAVING IS SCHISM NEOOOOOOOOO

@nolibertarians Although Hamilton is a goofball, you’re tough

Why do you follow me?

@ehenes @Ryan_Scott22_ You should be able to grant us that our reading of Rutherford is extremely compatible with the historical situations of the church fathers and apostles.

@ehenes @Ryan_Scott22_ First off, the claim that the “PCUSA” wasn’t implies separation from the PCUSA. Only the EPC split off from the PCUSA. Secondly, what is your standard for schism, and who is your sources for that standard.

I teach history. I tell students they need to learn three things when it comes to original sources: read carefully, think critically, and communicate clearly. In that order. Some who keep throwing snippets and quotes at me should take a class that teaches these things.

@thefoidda Correct on many things, but a Larper

Thoughts on George Lincoln Rockwell?

@LZaring28 I Like the regular one

Gotta admit, the logo is tuff

Cromwell memes are banned in 2026, spread the news

@ehenes @Ryan_Scott22_ It’s a meme, Everett

@LZaring28 @Ryan_Scott22_ Using Cromwell to mock Machen is quite odd. He's hardly the mascot for “submit to the established institution, no matter how corrupt it becomes.” He helped overthrow the episcopal establishment!

Machen was in the right and the OPC is a faithful and wonderful communion of believers.

Actual traditional wives are not attention whores online.

@nolibertarians @WASPZoomer Holy Holy Holy!

What is your favorite hymn?
