Wouldn't the analogy for creeds be civil law?
for church officers civil magistrates?
Xian Nats are not arguing for Christian laws (like Schaeffer did). They are arguing for regenerate magistrates, as if regeneration solves Acton's phrase about corruption and power

The problem w this argument is that it also means we shouldn't have creeds or confessions. And if your argument is "total depravity doesn't apply to the church or its officers" congratulations you're essentially Roman Catholic and engaged in spiritual tyranny.
Presbycast@presbycast
The proponents of this view have not convinced me that they have thought deeply about its implications in light of the Reformed doctrine of total depravity. It seems more about sentiment—a political-cultural dopamine hit which may create more problems than it solves.
English
there it is, the John Frame idea that Scripture applies to all of life. Not even the Westminster Divines believed that Scripture governed all of worship.
"there are some circumstances concerning the worship of God, and government of the church...ordered by the light of nature"

@D00M42 @ReallyOldLife I respect you for seeking to read the source material. Seriously - mad respect. I will only say this for now: most who are against CN are simply against going further in and further up with applying the Scriptures to all of life. I sense that from you. Also, never read Baird.

@JEdwards974649 Pretty sure God's standards are inherent to himself.
Also pretty sure God is a spirit.
Q. 4. What is God?
A. God is a spirit, infinite, eternal, and unchangeable, in his being, wisdom, power, holiness, justice, goodness and truth.
English
@ReallyOldLife A person can’t be a standard. What is God’s standard of morality revealed to us?

over/under on tweeters letting you know you haven't answered his (or her - hah!) question

Do you take the over (after)?
or under (before)?

@ReallyOldLife Still waiting for an actual answer, instead of dodging the question!

first image of Christian nationalism in Steve's Grand Rapidian brain
Steve Zrimec@ZrimecSteve
Darryl doubles down on what has to be his dumbest take ever. Quick, close your eyes, when I say “Christian nationalism,” what’s the first image you get? Joe Friggin Biden… Or… That’s what I thought, pastor Baird’s man (speaking of easy).
English
@ReallyOldLife Oh good. Your Christian Nationalist decoder ring will arrive in 3-6 weeks.

@D00M42 @ReallyOldLife You and I have just shown the Founders were riffing off the Bible.
English
@ReallyOldLife By this point, you should name names and explain which CN's are promoting, "the state ministers gospel" since all of the ones I'm following are saying the opposite.
English
this is so easy (suddenly Steve forgets word and sacrament)
"Biden reflects on MLK in sermon at his Atlanta church: 'Progress is never easy, but it's always possible'"
Steve Zrimec@ZrimecSteve
True, but when did Biden minister gospel?

love the twitter banter that turns into married couple sniping.
Job-rakt-out-of-the-asshes@JobRaktOutAshes
@ReallyOldLife Again, still noting you haven't answered my question.
English
@JobRaktOutAshes I need specifics. Are you scared to offer them? Or do you simply tweet?
English
wow! Romans 13 is either a blueprint for Christian government or the simplest rationale ever for rebellion when the government isn't Christian.

@D00M42 @ReallyOldLife If only there was some source book already written that we could turn to... (Ahem Romans 13)

In case Steve is tempted. Darryl is still in denial about Covid.
