"By what standard do you base your drip on?"

Especially chapters 8-10 @calvinismmemes

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."

- John Calvin, Christmas sermon, 1551 (for all those folks who think they're following the regulative principle by refusing to celebrate Christmas)

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.

The notion that politics should not be addressed from the pulpit is patently ridiculous. If one believes Jesus (not Caesar) is Lord, that all authority on earth belongs to him (Matt. 28:18), and thus his law-word must be obeyed, politics will inevitably come up. Conservatives' refusal to address politics biblically from the pulpit, and liberals' converse willingness to, is yet another reason why conservatives always lose their institutions, their churches, their children, and their country to the left.

Happy New Year! The past few years have been hard, and no doubt, the next few will be also. But let's continue to push forward the kingdom of God in our respective vocations throughout 2022. Hard times like these are what forces us to become men we are commanded to be. Here's to another year of crushing Satan beneath our feet, kings! 🥂

I hope everyone has a very happy New Year! May God guide and bless you for 2022

Give thanks for what you have, and pray for those less fortunate and those who hate you, so they may be blessed next year.

Christ was king last year, he was this year, and he will forever be king. Amen.
