The Reasonable Pugilist

@TheJollyBrawler @Reformed_1647 @Eric_Conn @SamuelHolden_ So true. To my memory, I got most of the details about this particular controversy from Doug's "All My Friend's Are Heretics" series. Which must have been like 5 years ago, now. So, the details are a little hazy.

It was a long saga with lots of turns. I know how it goes! I think the whole thing took like…12 years to unfold. I had to refresh on the details myself. Plus, there has been a propaganda war against Wilson on this subject by the Commies. So it’s hard to keep straight what is fact and what is commie bellyaching.

When the laity began to hate.

@TheJollyBrawler @Reformed_1647 @Eric_Conn @SamuelHolden_ Yes sir. Happy to call you a Brother, my friend. I just legitimately forgot about that crucial detail.

@TheReasonPug @Reformed_1647 @Eric_Conn @SamuelHolden_ Very kind of you!

@Reformed_1647 @TheJollyBrawler @Eric_Conn @SamuelHolden_ Too late. Already did. x.com/i/status/20375…

@TheReasonPug @TheJollyBrawler @Eric_Conn @SamuelHolden_ Here's your chance to retract "Doug was right."

@EWErickson @WilliamWolfe The pastors who reached out to Erickson:

Y'all, one final word on @WilliamWolfe before I go back to ignoring him. In the past 24 hours, I have been overwhelmed with emails, private messages, text messages, etc. from people who have gone to church with him, worked with him, or otherwise been the subject of his vitriol. The number of people who have reached out blows my mind. Pastors who are good, Godly men have sent notes of appreciation with stories of William's vitriol directed at them or their friends. His former co-workers and even those he went to church with have stories. What an appalling and abusive person, and he is clearly a very troubled soul. Often, in political movements, the people with serious issues are used by others to attack others. Those above the abusive person and around them egg them on because they'd never get their hands dirty, but have found a useful fool who has no self-awareness to know how dirty he gets himself. So many of the pastors keep telling me they are fearful of engaging because their Twitter timelines fill up with awful invective from people if they respond. I have seen the examples of them being called demons and snakes. First, I wouldn't be surprised if it is him. Second, even if it is not him, they are a small and loud minority. Set your Twitter notifications to only show you tweets from people who actually follow you, or only from those you follow. Ignore the sound and fury of the tiny group of angry people. Also, know you are not alone and know that he has no power over you. He has alienated himself and his Center for Baptist Leadership by his abusive behavior. The darkness will not overcome the light. Lastly, William clearly is a troubled soul and he needs a lot of prayer. I'm going to back to ignoring him now. The rest of you just know I thank you for your kinds notes and you are not alone.

@LowWorm @Eric_Conn @SamuelHolden_ Yeah. Ethan pointed out to me where I was wrong. My apologies.

@TheReasonPug @Eric_Conn @SamuelHolden_ Brother, you couldn't be more wrong.

@TheJollyBrawler @Eric_Conn @SamuelHolden_ Dang, I actually forgot about that part. 😳

@TheReasonPug @Eric_Conn @SamuelHolden_ Continued faithfulness? This is the guy who admitted to being sexually stimulated when handling his own son. Sounds faithful to me.

@Eric_Conn @SamuelHolden_ We both would like to see pedos executed. But that's not our world. Until that happens, pastors have to deal w/tricky scenarios which require discernment. Doug was right to have married off that man & woman. Their continued faithfulness over the yrs has vindicated that decision

@TheReasonPug @SamuelHolden_ Refuse to marry them.

@Eric_Conn @SamuelHolden_ Agreed. They should be killed But this didnt happen in a world where magistrates responded Biblically What would you do if a child molester served jail time, repented, 10 yrs later became a member of ur church, & a woman at church, knowing all this, still desired to marry him?

@TheReasonPug @SamuelHolden_ Pedophiles should not be allowed to marry. Pastors do not hold the keys to capital punishment, but they can refuse to marry.

@Eric_Conn @SamuelHolden_ The government bears the sword. If they fail to execute a pedo, gave him a prison sentence (which he served), then he repents, joins a church, and a woman wants to marry him...should Doug have said "no" and executed him instead? But yes...the way Doug treated Achord was shameful

@SamuelHolden_ There was more mercy for a pedophile than for Thomas Achord. I think about this often.

@elimcgowan Paul warns women not to be "idlers, going about from house to house...also gossips and busybodies, saying what they should not". 1 Tim 5:13 Yet, even the divinely inspired apostle didn't know a "man" like you would need to be rebuked with this verse, actually meant for women.

Joel Webbon stated that Satan is envious of me, because I am “more demonic” than Satan. He said I am “going to hell.” Why? For writing about things like his eleven years of coverup of his ecclesiastical abuse that all of his former deacons and elders described as disqualifying him from ministry in their letter after he fled their discipline. I would never say any human is worse than Satan, nor deny the possibility of regeneration in a professed believer who is part of the faithful, visible church. Also, this is the same man who says it’s an attempted murder to accurately describe someone like his parishioner who is openly pro-Adolf Hitler as a Nazi. What is it to dehumanize someone who regularly receives threats of violence as “worse than Satan?”

@TanneriteCortez A blessed man.

Good days work in the books Sun burnt Wife’s amazing supper Yard mowed Little man learning to weedeat Ice cold local ale White Boy Summer is coming Praise God from whom all blessings flow!

@SamuelHolden_ It's the duty of the civil magistrate to execute rapists. A repentant pedo who wasnt righteously executed may be allowed church membership - even may be married off. Though unjust, what else is the church to do? Subvert God's design & execute him themselves? Otherwise, great vid

@NotBlindfolded I'm happy for her. But her husband definitely shouldn't be posting online about his wife's previous sexual promiscuity. Doubly-so right now, with all these e-thots pretending to have conversion experiences in order to capitalize on the clout.

FYI this is the woman you are thoughtlessly calling a wh*re If you are not ashamed of yourself, Christ does not dwell in you.

@tomascol As a Covenantal Paedobaptist, Michael Bird is a joke. And I would side with you 1000 out of 1000 times, despite our theological differences.

If I were a paedobaptist I would be embarrassed by this & terrified by the expressed "covenantal logic" of Bird. As a credobaptist, I appreciate the this as more grist for my mill.

@BasedEternal @asukagrypr Raising the enlistment age will help attain enlistment goals As for a draft - enlistment age has no bearing. If a draft was needed, as unlikely as that would be, they would start with younger men & work their way towards older men This enlistment change has no effect on a draft

@TheReasonPug @asukagrypr And when they don’t reach the enlistment goal. What comes next?

As of today, there has never been a time when there were more young men in America, so why are they increasing the maximum enlistment age? Because 34-42 year old men are majority White. In the event of a war, Western governments will do everything possible to make sure White men (especially childless ones) end up on the front lines. To them, a 50.5/49.5 split of women/men is an oversupply of men, and they’ll take any excuse to reduce it. There are multiple reports that the average of the Ukrainian military is around 45-47 years old. Unrelated, you can’t be drafted if you piss and shit your pants.

@BustinNutzYo @JoelWebbon hear*

@BustinNutzYo @JoelWebbon Why are you so shocked to here that there exists a person who had sex with someone who wasn't his wife before he ever met the woman who would one day be his wife...and repented of that fornication? Do you live in a bubble or something?

YES, it is morally permissible for Christians entering marriage to can get a PRENUP. Let’s start here: Is No-Fault Divorce immoral? Most conservative Christians will say YES, and they’re right. This Bible has strict penalties for adultery and abandonment, but because our court system is wicked and corrupt, a woman can commit adultery, divorce her husband, and still get half of his stuff (or even most of it). *But what if both the man and woman, before entering marriage, signed a prenup that made it to where if either of them commit adultery, or physically abandon the marriage, they forfeit all material assets? In other words, the couple is essentially saying… “Since we live in a godless society with unjust courts, we are going to voluntarily and legally bind ourselves to the standards of marriage set forth in God’s Law as a hedge against future temptations to sin.” There are plenty of midwits out there saying, “But that’s just planning for failure!” So did God Himself plan for failure by giving His Law with certain penalties for those who would defile the sanctity of marriage? This is not “planning for failure”, it is actually hedging against prevalent temptations in a godless society to further ensure success. Don’t be stupid pietists, guys. I promise, it’s okay to use both Scripture and logic - Neither contradicts the other.

You will marry the THOT You will remain silent about the Jews. You will rejoice at the replacement of your people. You will affirm the Pastorate to be the hardest job. You will reject the teachings of our Fathers. You will not limit the scope of authority of the Clergy You will lead your wife by serving her. You will not serve your wife by leading her. You will embrace the masculinity of my Grandmother. You will not look up the definition of "Nation" You will submit to the credentialism of the Clergy. Freedom is slavery War is peace Diversity is strength 2+2 is 5 Oceania is at war with East Asia. Oceania has always been at war with East Asia I love The Clergy. I love The Clergy. I love The Clergy.

@jbendery You have no idea what you're talking about "I have been crucified with Christ" - Galatians 2:20 Meaning...we die (crucified) to sin and are resurrection to new life (with Christ). Wishing someone would be crucified with Christ is a good thing. You wish them to become Christian

New: Pete Hegseth’s pastor and close spiritual advisor says he wants Texas Democratic state Rep. James Talarico to die. “We want him crucified with Christ,” Brooks Potteiger said of Talarico, as the podcast host said he prays “that God kills him.” huffpost.com/entry/pete-heg…
