Some helpful distinctions:

It is right to say our ultimate allegiance should be to the kingdom of heaven, but it is wrong to say we cannot have allegiance to our nation and tribe.

It is right to say that the water of baptism is thicker than blood, but it is wrong to say we should forsake our earthly families.

It is right to say we should be content without earthly riches, but we should recognize them as blessings from God when he gives them.

It is right to say that Christians will frequently be persecuted, but it is wrong to desire this chastisement or set it up as the ideal.

It is right to say that a man who works in full-time ministry has an honorable calling, but it is wrong to elevate his calling over the ordinary man's.

It is right to say that civil government should not be intertwined with the church, but it is wrong to say that the magistrate has no obligation to obey and enforce God's laws.

It is right to say that "the kingdom of God is not of this world," but it is wrong to say that the kingdom of God has not come to this world, does not exist over this world, or has no manifestation in this world.

The problem with "based and trad" right wingers holding to NIFB, EO, and Papism is all the same: They believe that by retreating into the husks of unbiblical traditions, they can better fend off liberalism and modernity. Rather than wielding the Sword of the Spirit, they attempt to fashion their own tiny tinsel weaponlets thinking they can do better than God's word. This is the age-old error of attempting to be wiser than God. It is the core tactic of that ancient serpent: "Did God really say? Here, this will work better for you." And just like in the case of the temptation in the garden (knowing good and evil, which is a sign of godly maturity), these mistaken NIFBs, EOs, and RCs desire a good think (a godly, traditional society). But they attempt to reach for it by ways and means not sanctioned by God. Rather than trust God's means and timing of fulfilling His promise of dominion, they invent ways to grasp it for themselves, and, tragically and ironically, they lose it. And the harder they grasp with their man-made inventions, the more quickly their ideal society disintegrates in their hands.

The abuse for us '89 bros 😓

TBH you kinda deserve it though. Seriously, how do you read Book 4 Chapter 16 of the Institutes without becoming Presbyterian? But I used to be a 1689er, so I'll cut ya a little slack.

Prohibition works. Libertarians most affected.

“The hardest task before most of us is not to learn, but to unlearn. Many of God’s own children have drunk so deeply of the sweetened poison of Satan, that it is by no means easy to get it out of their systems; and while it remains in them, it stupefies their understanding.”
