“In the world it is called Tolerance, but in hell it is called Despair, the sin that believes in nothing, cares for nothing, seeks to know nothing, interferes with nothing, enjoys nothing, hates nothing, finds purpose in nothing, lives for nothing, and remains alive because there is nothing for which it will die.”

Neither natural capacity nor the letter of the holy law delivers anyone from this sin that fleshly birth introduces originally, but only the faith of Jesus Christ, the Son of God, who came “to seek and to save that which had perished.” He “died for the ungodly,” giving “himself for us,” as the Apostle says, “as an offering and a sacrifice to God, as a sweet-smelling savor.” In this mediator between God and men, the status of human nature has been restored and the work of fulfilling the law has been accomplished; for the weakness of nature has in no way been able to stand up to his power. Since “all our days have passed away, and we have passed away in [God’s] wrath,” this weakness is deprived of both illumination and power, it sins blindly apart from the law, and, as a result, it does not know it is sinning. For this reason it is said: "I would not have known covetousness, unless the law had said, ‘You shall not covet.’"- St Fulgentius
It's worth noting that modern baptist theology originated only after individualist Enlightenment values gained traction. Furthermore, the only cultures where b*ptist "theology" holds any sway are hyper-individualistic Anglo cultures. And frankly, their biggest issue isn't that they don't baptize their children, but that this hyper-individualism has become the lens through which they interpret all of Scripture.

"I don’t understand why churches specifically hold “racism” to be sinful. It’s the only concept that Leon Trotsky almost fully developed that modern churches agree wholeheartedly on."
The other bit of Trotskyism that both Christian Right and Left support is endless campaigns to spread global democracy by force.

When it comes to Christians’ view of money and material blessings, two errors predominate. On the one hand, there are the prosperity gospel charlatans. On the other hand, there are ascetics who view money as a bad thing, or perhaps as a dangerous but neutral thing. This second view, which constitutes the overwhelming majority of evangelicals, is a doctrine just as unbiblical as the prosperity gospel, but far more subtle.
The biblical view of material blessing is that such blessings are, in and of themselves, good things for which we should give thanks (contra the modern evangelical ascetic view). These blessings are given by God in his own good timing and in response to faithfulness and covenant obedience (not simply “faith” as the prosperity gospel peddlers say, which is why their doctrine is sometimes called “word faith” or “word of faith”).
If people want to hear more on this, I may consider writing a fuller blog post.

What the Marxist Jews, and their useful idiots in the Church, demonize as the evil of "racism" is, in reality, the virtue of loyalty to one's own people. Loyalty is a primary component of love, and love is the essence of Christianity. Therefore, as a Christian, never be ashamed of being loyal to those of your own race, just as you are not ashamed to be loyal to your own family members, and do not allow the declarations of fools in positions of authority or pressure from their deceived followers to ever cause you to become a traitor to your own people.
"In truth, as you have often been admonished, it is good to set aside one day out of the year in which we are reminded of all the good that has occurred because of Christ’s birth in the world, and in which we hear the story of his birth retold, which will be done Sunday."

This is the opening of J.S. Bach's Christmas Oratorio. After hearing music like this, it is impossible to view any "Christmas music" of our age as being worthy of the name.

Thomas Nelson, owned by the same company as Fox News, publishes an anti-family screed. Look, the nuclear family is not some western invention. It is an inescapable necessity; man + woman = babies.
Tribes, nations, and ethnicities are collections of families. The backbone of every culture is how it handles marriage, child rearing and family.

The author, Jeff Bethke, got famous for making a viral spoken word poem titled, "Why I Hate Religion But Love Jesus." Consider this a reminder that the evangelical establishment's mission is solely to subvert genuine Christianity.
