The best test of man’s masculinity is his Christlikeness. Not his “toughness”. Not his weight-lifting prowess. Not how much he impresses other “tough guys”. It is found in his servant’s heart, in his devotion to his church/family/bride, in laying down his life for his bride.

@FeserEdward MAGA is a literal emperor cult.

Edward Feser@FeserEdward·1d

Trump commits blasphemy and betrays his voters on abortion, war, affordability, Epstein transparency, the national debt, and corruption, but what angers Metaxas is… people who betray Trump – thus perfectly illustrating Carlson’s point about Trump’s cult-like hold on these people

Eric Metaxas@ericmetaxas

Tucker's betrayal of President Trump is seriously DESPICABLE.

@harrisonjlang Eli’s comment was not an ad hominem. It was an observation, kind of like “the sky is blue”.

Although I wouldn’t consider myself a “Christian Nationalist,” this is very uncharitable. CNers have legitimate arguments that must be engaged well, not ad hominem attacks.

Eli McGowan@elimcgowan

Christian Nationalism as a movement is marked very deeply by a distinct worldliness.

@JLSteffaniak Owned a Ford 150 for a grand total of a month. Loved the thing. But it was totaled with an SUV crashed into the vehicle when my wife was driving it. My wife was fine, the truck, not so much. Grateful that God used the truck to protect my wife!!!

@RevReads289 This tweet, is in fact, a confession of faith.

English

Shawn Rev Reads Willson@RevReads289·20 Nis

@MiddleEarthPaul I would talk about how confessionalism has failed again and again to keep people rooted in the truth and encourage people to simply read God's Word every day in order to guide their steps and guard their souls.

If you were to preach a single sermon on the value and imperative of confessionalism, what passage would you suggest?

@ConfessingKite @geekyguyjay Again, I don't really care if ABS did this debate. More power to her. And I defended Walker. I do think there is an inconsistency w/ him in the way he talked about women in his original post & elsewhere but I'm surprised you're acting like I attacked Walker when I clearly didn't.

English

Paul Hess 📚✝️@MiddleEarthPaul·20 Nis

@ConfessingKite @geekyguyjay For example, too many comps attack empathy as a "feminine" trait. Too many dismiss an argument out of hand simply b/c a woman says it, church-situated or not. So it's kind of galling when ppl in this orbit prop up ABS, Basham, etc. while bashing others simply for being a woman.

English

Jay the Baptist@geekyguyjay·18 Nis

So the guy who is known for pitching complementarianism & male leadership in the church endorses a woman's perspective in a debate? What qualifies her as more authoritative than a man? And he orients it in --her understanding of emotion & empathy-- no less? IN. SANE.

Andrew T. Walker@AndrewTWalker

Watched the French-Stuckey debate. My main takeaway: The whole debate centered upon a truth-emotion continuum. I think Allie Beth came out ahead for one main reason that colors every issue debated: She indexes her understanding of emotion and empathy on a biblical axis, whereas French elevates emotion and empathy to a disproportionate degree. The consequence is to unmoor emotion from truth. There's simply a difference in rhetorical strategy: Stuckey focuses more on logos; French on pathos. Along those lines, another reason I think Allie Beth had the stronger hand is that she refuses to play the game of pitting love against truth (1 Cor. 13:6; Eph. 4:15). She's no less interested in kindness or empathy, but properly indexed by Scripture. French's focus on catering to emotional equilibrium (and thus hewing to progressive niceties) requires him to blur biblical categories. Biblical ethics requires both logos and pathos, but our loves must be ordered and governed with a proper foundation. And notably, French's empathy tends in one direction, toward those to his left. In short, Allie Beth focused on objectivity, reason, and right and wrong as the grounds of what constitutes love and kindness, whereas French's instinct is to defer to emotion and aesthetics.

@ConfessingKite @geekyguyjay I'm honestly confused by your reply. Did we cross wires somewhere? I didn't watch the debate; I didn't even know it occurred until after the fact. If I had, odds are I would've agreed w/ ABS. But the hypocrisy of "women can't teach, but they can teach French" is really bad.

English

Gregg Kite@ConfessingKite·20 Nis

@MiddleEarthPaul @geekyguyjay Come on, Paul. I know you're smarter than this. Is "Relatable" a church? No. Furthermore, one can simultaneously say "I don't think Allie should be debating like this" and "Allie absolutely won the debate because she stuck to Scripture."

Aside from your conversion, what have been some of your major theological changes over the years? I’ll start: - Dispensationalism -> 1689 - Premil -> Amil - Presup-> Classical

That Christian Nationalism has been producing such egregious breaches of the second and third commandments should be a cause for reflection upon the true nature of the movement.

@DirkWalstead The pro-abortion uses this logic when they say that aborting a child is wrong because it's preferable to being born into poverty. A thief uses it when they say stealing is preferable to letting one's family starve. I could go on.

English

Paul Hess 📚✝️@MiddleEarthPaul·14 Nis

@DirkWalstead The "lesser of two evils" philosophy is just antinomianism masquerading as piety. It assumes that the Christian is permitted to engage in evil, so long as it is the "lesser" in the opinion of the doer. It's a willful choice of evil.

I’ve never been able to understand this attitude. Next time should I vote for what I believe to be the greater evil or what? Also, acting all smug and crowing about it just makes you insufferable.

How’s the “lesser of two evils” philosophy going for you?

When a religious or political idol does something inexcusable, the loyalist response follows a predictable script: 1. Deny it happened. 2. Once that fails, explain why it's actually not that bad. 3. Accuse anyone who names the harm of being "divisive." 4. Claim it's the devil working overtime to distract us from what really matters. 5. Pivot to whataboutism. Point to someone on the other side who did something worse. 6. Quietly memory-hole it once the news cycle moves on, then act confused if anyone brings it up again.

You can buy a licensed "Donald J. Trump" King James version of the Bible for $100 & some are now offended, surprised, and shocked that he posted AI slop of himself cosplaying as White Jesus? Please. He thinks religious people are marks. He has no fear of God.

Trump posted this. Blasphemous? In the extreme. But you know who I blame for this more than Trump? Word-Faith/NAR preachers who have been surrounding him for years. Paula White compared Trump to Jesus just last week. Two of the most prominent SBC pastors, Robert Jeffress and Jack Graham, have given their full support of Paula White. Trump attended Las Vegas International Church some years ago and "Pastor Denise," had Trump come on stage and she said of him, "What I hear the Lord say, 'This is my Son in whom I am well pleased.'" She not only compared Trump directly to the Son of God, but claimed God as the source of her information. Sheer blasphemy. Trump is no theologian. These Word-Faith/NAR charlatans and heretics claim to be. And shame on Robert Jeffress and Jack Graham for supporting them. In doing so, they participate in their sin.
