for how many centuries did the church teach government must promote true religion? 1,000 years? 1,500 years? 2,000 years? 6,000 years? no well-read person would offer a small number — now do religious neutrality

@james_d_baird It's like the scene between Jim and Dwight in the break room as he is eating his soon expiring food prep stash.

On January 6th I followed the crowd into the Capitol and shouted. Police stood by the whole time, hanging out with us and sometimes directing us places. At one point near the House Chambers I was walking downstairs when a trio of some special section, secret service looking men started pointing guns in my direction. Confused and annoyed, I walked the other way and when I saw a normal police officer asked him why they were doing that. He informed me a protestor (Ashli Babbit) had been killed, and advised me to leave the building. I walked towards the exit and after a short rest on the bench I left. I harmed nobody and damaged no property that day and complied with all police orders. What I received for that was a pre-dawn raid at my parents house, where my 1 month post-partum wife and I were staying, on Biden's first day in office. His DOJ had signed the order to arrest me 3 hours after his inauguration. In the subsequent weeks I received death threats online and harassing phone calls, something that would be ongoing for the next few years. I was banned from Meta and Paypal. My wife and I were both debanked by PNC and banned from Airbnb. My wife was detained at the airport for hours with our newborn daughter. I was charged with 4 misdemeanors and the 1512 unconstitutional felony. The government offered to drop the misdemeanors if I pled to the felony. The felony was a lie, so I refused and went to trial. At trial the prosecution for 2 days straight was allowed to show footage to the jury of things that occurred around the Capitol I wasn't present for "for context." When we asked to put forward footage that contradicted the prosecution's "context" we were not allowed. They could show what they wanted, we could not. Police officers were then put on the stand for the next 2 days who cried about their experiences. I had no idea who they were. They admitted they never saw me or interacted with me. Nevertheless like every other J6er, I lost, and was sentenced to 4 years and $22k in fines and restitution. Yet even after the Supreme Court overturned the felony, the judge would not let me out until my misdemeanor sentences of a year were maxed out. Because she can't count she actually kept me in longer - to the extent she intervened at the last minute to make the prison release me on a Sunday, something that is against BOP rules. My family sat outside the prison gates the Friday before practically the whole day waiting in vain because of this pettiness. But the government wasn't satisfied with their pound of flesh: after my release they took me back in for resentencing, to attempt to have me resentenced after the fact to my misdemeanors consecutively, so I'd be taken from my family again and have another 1.5 years behind bars. This time I won, as they had no legal precedent and it skirted on violating double jeopardy since I had served my full prison time. Even still, it cast a cloud over the holidays and cost me another 20k my family couldn't afford. People ask whether prison was bad, and yeah of course prison sucked. It was a hard and violent place. I was present for a stabbing, and was lucky to avoid two fights and a race war. But dealing with Biden's DOJ and the DC Judiciary was the real trauma - they would grind down your spirit by weaponizing the legal system and use the endless procedure to bankrupt you. I had nightmares for months after release that I had somehow been hit with new charges. By the time I was pardoned by President Trump, I had spent literally every single day of Biden's presidency either in prison or under some form of supervision. I had incurred over $300k in legal fees and over $1 million in lost business. It was a reign of terror, and yet it was a mere foreshadowing of what they had planned for anyone else who opposed them under Kamala. The country should never forget it.

The Anti-Abortion logic is quite literally unassailable. - Human beings should not be murdered. - Babies in utero are human beings. - Therefore we should not permit babies in utero to be murdered Everyone who tries to argue either exposes themselves as a psychopath or a fool.

listen to the good professor

My wife is like a gray wizard who occasionally knocks on my door and nudges me out of my comfort zone to go on an adventure. Three weeks ago, I bought a Nissan Titan in Blaine, Washington, which is as far as it gets from East Tennessee in the lower 48 before you end up in Canada. I wanted to ship it back, but my wife had the idea to pack up our 4 dwarves and fly to Seattle, rent a van to get the truck and then drive it back home. We were in the truck for 77 hours over the course of 9 days. We saw 5 National Parks, passed another 4 for the sake of time, and got home in one piece. We went there and back again. Below is a photo of the truck at Frenchman's Coulee. We live in a beautiful country. It is truly America the Beautiful. The trip reinforced in me that we owe it to our children and grandchildren to preserve this place for them.

This.

@AmericanPresby Remember who you are, Protestant Boy!

Stay aggressively Protestant

Guys....we can do it! Take it to a hundo! There's still time left.

@WVPitt @CalebDixonSmith Dispose of communion bread according to your ARP by-laws.

@nsxanders @CalebDixonSmith Do the reading

Today in Erastianism.

@Thatbrian @presbycast @MD_Adams90 I totally agree with you.

@nsxanders @presbycast @MD_Adams90 Point taken, but there is no way that any child will receive what God commands in a state-run school.

"When a church moves beyond exhortation and begins to require homeschooling (for instance) as a condition of faithfulness, it has crossed an important line. It is no longer applying biblical wisdom, but binding the conscience where God has not bound it." - @MD_Adams90

@CalebDixonSmith @WVPitt Because CN is the great boogeyman that must be straw manned to death even if it means demeaning our office as elders and degrading the education we received by saying ignorant things on X. Duh!

@WVPitt How can a statement that truth cannot contradict truth be “Erastianism”?

@NDHuskerfan711 @presbycast @MD_Adams90 I agree with you. But homeschooling is not the only option. Maybe you're missing that detail. E.g. several of my congregants attend a classical Xn school. Others attend a hybrid homeschool-Xn school in the area. Matt himself is the senior minister of a church with a school.

@nsxanders @presbycast @MD_Adams90 Nah… the default world view of secular schools is secular humanism. A false religion, it’s preached in every public school classroom. If you send your children to face these demons you’re a fool.

@NDHuskerfan711 @presbycast @MD_Adams90 I promise you that Matt does not affirm that statement. You can NOT homeschool and also not choose Baal or Babylon or Rome or Egypt for educating Xn kids.

@presbycast @MD_Adams90 Listen if a parent wants to send their children to be educated by the prophets of Baal it’s well within their Christian liberty’s to do so… - (this guy probably)
