Most of apologetics is literally just a game of power, which is why it's crucial Christians begin a) playing the game and b) winning.

"Pilgrim's Progress," by John Bunyan, has certainly proved a helpful and encouraging book for many. But it also has many subversive themes.

For example, Christian takes his trek all by himself whereas the Chriatian life is meant to be lived with the people of God (Heb. 10:25).

Another example is that Christian abandons his family to pursue the Christian life. Paul strictly condemns this psuedo-monkdom (1 Timothy 5:8).

Bunyan also didn't believe in baptism, and note that the sacraments institued by Christ and consecrated by his blood make no appearance in the story.

Finally, the entire story is oriented around Christian running away from the world whereas God has commanded us to take dominion and make disciples.

All of this is straight-up subversive, uber-individualistic pietism. Perhaps we should reevaluate the role this book has played in Anglo Christianity.

"With respect to divine order, in infants, baptism and justification and regeneration happen together, from the nature of the covenant, "I will be your God and [the God] of your Seed; but the effects are made known eventually in their own time." -Lawrence Fogg (1712)

I had the misfortune of stumbling across this normie news article today. It argues on the basis of two pieces of evidence that consumers don't care about the record inflation. The first is that two companies adjusted their sales forecasts up (which happens all the time, and doesn't address the many more who didn't), and that gross sales economy-wide were up in Q4 (which always happens due to Christmas shopping). This is retard-tier propaganda. Do normies actually believe what they're fed, or deep down, do they know it's bs and just go along? https://www.bloomberg.com/opinion/articles/2022-01-19/p-g-inflation-toiletries-get-more-expensive-but-americans-aren-t-balking-yet?utm_source=twitter&utm_campaign=socialflow-organic&cmpid%3D=socialflow-twitter-view&utm_medium=social&utm_content=view

"The “civil rights” revolutionary groups are a case in point. Their goal is not equality but power. The background of Negro culture is African and magic, and the purposes of magic are control and power over God, man, nature, and society. Voodoo, or magic, was the religion and life of American Negroes. Voodoo songs underlie jazz, and old voodoo, with its power goal, has been merely replaced with revolutionary voodoo, a modernized power drive."

Westminster Confession Chapter 28:
Of Baptism

1. Baptism is a sacrament of the New Testament, ordained by Jesus Christ, not only for the solemn admission of the party baptized into the visible church, but also to be unto him a sign and seal of the covenant of grace, of his ingrafting into Christ, of regeneration, of remission of sins, and of his giving up unto God, through Jesus Christ, to walk in newness of life: which sacrament is, by Christ’s own appointment, to be continued in His church until the end of the world.

2. The outward element to be used in the sacrament is water, wherewith the party is to be baptized in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost, by a minister of the gospel, lawfully called thereunto.

3. Dipping of the person into the water is not necessary; but baptism is rightly administered by pouring or sprinkling water upon the person.

4. Not only those that do actually profess faith in and obedience unto Christ, but also the infants of one or both believing parents are to be baptized.

5. Although it be a great sin to contemn or neglect this ordinance, yet grace and salvation are not so inseparably annexed unto it as that no person can be regenerated or saved without it, or that all that are baptized are undoubtedly regenerated.

6.The efficacy of baptism is not tied to that moment of time wherein it is administered; yet, notwithstanding, by the right use of this ordinance, the grace promised is not only offered, but really exhibited and conferred by the Holy Ghost, to such (whether of age or infants) as that grace belongeth unto, according to the counsel of God’s own will, in His appointed time.

7.The sacrament of baptism is but once to be administered to any person.

Get a load of this retard. If you aren't making enough money to support a family, the solution isn't to work harder, save more, or learn new skills; you should just quit.
