The recent Tucker interviews with Mike Huckabee, Ted Cruz, and Doug Wilson show that the pro-Israel side is completely incapable of winning a debate.
Even though his arguments are frankly lackluster, it is obvious to any observer that the pro-Isael side is bankrupt.
Where do we go from here? First, press the advantage. Second, use the victory to refocus on replacement, which is the primary issue. And third, pray for our own souls that we will never be so blinded, blackmailed, or bribed as these men are.

If someone is lamenting falling fertility rates and they are unwilling to address this very obvious and well documented fact, they are not serious about solving the fertility crisis.

Interracial or interethnic marriage falls into the same biblical category as divorce and polygamy. As in:
They are contrary to God's natural design, nearly always result in disaster, and are things that God hates. But because of the hardness of our hearts, they are permitted under tightly limited circumstances.

Presbyterian and Reformed
Baptismal Regeneration and the Death of Assurance Regeneration is no slight matter. It is a new birth; a new creation; a resurrection front spiritual death to spiritual life. It is a change, wrought by the exceeding greatness of God’s power, analogous to…
The consistent desire of anti-sacramental Presbyterians to separate the sign and the thing signified is actually the very "superstition" they claim to hate.
By attempting to connect regenration to either conversion, preaching, altar calls, or anything else, they want to gain control over regeneration in the means they prefer rather than regular sacraments (baptism at birth and weekly communion).
It's also a desire to excuse parenting failure. If the baptized child really is regenerate and ends up a profligate, that's a parenting failure. But if blame can be shifted to God ("Is this not the viper in a diaper you gave to me?") then they are excused.
This also explains why Puritans so quickly and colossally lost their culture. What was the heart of English Puritanism in Massachusetts became Libtard Central in about 150 years.

In context, Christ gives us this teaching *right after* telling us to not covet another woman in our hearts. This is very important to notice! There must have been someone the crowd, hearing Christ speak about coveting women and committing adultery with our hearts, trying to weasel his way past Jesus's words. "Ah," he told himself, "I'll just quietly divorce my wife, and then I'll be free to pursue any woman I want!" Our Savior does not let such a man get away with it.
This is a critical element of the text I rarely see mentioned. That Jesus prohibits divorce except for adultery rules out all other possible justifications.
Divorce is not permissible for abuse, addiction, "financial infidelity," or dissatisfaction.
That doesn't mean these things can't be solved. On the contrary, pastors and family members should absolutely step in to help solve. But they do not dissolve the sacred bond of marriage.

"One does not need to know the exact hour of one's conversion... To demand from everyone a 'penitential struggle' and 'breakthrough,' a period of dread and despair and a sudden subsequent surge of peace and joy, is to call into question God's covenant promise and weaken the meaning of baptism... It robs the school and education in general of their significance and, by forcing on a sudden crisis, an intense emotion or conscious turnaround, gives an unnatural character to Christian nurture, making children anxious, fearful, and nervously introspective. The children of believers are to be regarded and treated as heirs of the promise until the contrary is clearly demonstrated by their 'talk' and 'walk.'"
