@AndrewTWalker @RevKevDeYoung @JonathanLeeman You guys seek to do theology and politics but cant even form syllogisms where the premises necessarily lead to the conclusion. And then pat each other on the back for it.
English
An interesting syllogism @RevKevDeYoung just used on stage with @JonathanLeeman at Coram Deo in talking about the role of the church versus the state:
“Political orders require virtuous people.
Only Christianity can form truly virtuous people.
Therefore, the Church of Jesus Christ has the missional task of preaching the Gospel and forming a virtuous people.”

"We take the grifts and layer them into tranches that make the GBSs (Grift Backed Securities). We then cut the MBSs into CGOs (Collaterized Grift Obligations). Lastly we create synthetic CGOs based on the CGOs which our investors can use to bet on the performance of the underlying grifts."

Mad respect.

I had to do it, I bought the @dalepartridge apology book so you don't have to. While most of us would have expected such a book to be sizable, this miniature book arrived in the mail yesterday. The SD card and Chapstick are not novelty size... it is hard to even call it a book. Just skimmed through it, but so far, it's just a collection of the claims he has already made, explaining away his bad behavior. More to come... #dalepartridge

Excited to see the House unanimously pass the HEAR Act, legislation I helped lead and pass unanimously in the Senate.
The legislation now heads to the President’s desk, and upon his signature, a long-overdue victory for the families of Holocaust victims will finally be delivered.

@GuyJones1111 Its insane how many movies I watch nowadays and agree with the antagonist. Theres times where I actually thin the antagonist was the protagonist until I read the letterboxd reviews.

Son: Dad, can I watch Avatar?
Dad: No, that's liberal garbage, and the military was right to destroy them!
Son: uhhhh, what? I thought you said it was good?
Dad:...... do you mean the cartoon with the kid with the arrow on his head?
Son: yeah!
Dad: ohhhh.. yeah that's fine

~Conclusions~
Divine dreams were only in ordinary use in the Old Testament, but in the church of the New they are ceased and take no place ordinarily.
Men must take their dreams to commonly be natural and may be of use to the man regarding his heart, mind, and body. But they generally should not be regarded.
If a dream is known to be devilish, in whole or part, it is not to be received, believed, or used as a means to foretell the future lest we should be guilty of the art of witchcraft.

Thread on William Perkins on dreams🧵🧵🧵
These following statements are from William Perkins' book "A Discourse on the Damned Art of Witchcraft" chapter 3 'Of the Kinds of Witchcraft, and First of Divination' roughly quoted and paraphrased without my own thoughts or interpretations.

From the limited amount of puritans I have read they were open to the possibility of supernatural dreams, they also seemed to be very skeptical of them generally. William Perkins in "A Discourse on the Damned Art of Witchcraft" says: "... it must be remembered, that howsoever there are and have been distinct sorts of dreams, yet those which are from God, were only in ordinary use in the O.T., and in the Church of the New are ceased, and take no place ordinarily." William Perkins explicitly disagrees with your statement that these things take place *ordinarily* in the lives of Christians. The full John Owen quote you shared is: "How far God is pleased to continue this ministration of angels unto this day is hard to determine: for as many have pretended unto revelations by angels, which have been mere delusions of Satan or imaginations of their own brains, so to say that God doth not or may not send his angels unto any of his saints, to communicate his mind unto them as to some particulars of their own duty, according unto his word, or to foreshow unto them somewhat of his own approaching work, seems, in my judgment, unwarrantably to limit the Holy One of Israel. Howbeit such things in particular are to be duly weighed with sobriety and reverence." Both are pretty clearly not in principle against extraordinary revelation but carry a skepticism that leads them to conclude that majority of those claiming to receive dreams from God/angels are not legitimate. If we (confessionally reformed) don't carry the same healthy skepticism we will very quickly fall to witchcraft like the papists and charismatics.

Got some exclusive insight on this (and why they're being vague about how the attack was stopped) from a student I know at ODU: They didn't just rush him. They didn't just stab him 22 times. They gouged his fucking EYES out and that's apparently where they think most of the bloodloss came from.

@jonharris1989 I asked what "we" America should do. I never specified myself individually.
English
You asked me what you could do. You’re not in government it doesn’t look like. If you want policy decisions, run for office. I took your question as someone genuinely asking. If sharing the gospel, when that's basically all you can do directly from your position, is now TGC-coded then we're in real trouble.
