Paul argues conclusively in Romans that the Covenant of Grace exhibited in the New Testament Christian Church is exactly the same Covenant of Grace God established with Abraham. In Galatians, Paul goes so far as to say that if you are in Christ, regardless of your ethnic derivation, you are a child of Abraham according to the promise. Galatians was not written to ethnic Jews. Calling Greek believers “offspring of Abraham” is a monumentally significant theological statement. It goes to the very heart of how Christians should read the Old Testament. The Old Testament either applies to us with equal force and relevance as it did to the Israelites who lived under that administration of the Covenant of Grace, or it is utterly irrelevant and useless for Christians. Few, if any, Christians would ever publicly and openly espouse such a radical position. But what difference does that make if, as is typical in Evangelicalism, the Old Testament is relegated to realm of legend? Even among those who swear by the plenary inspiration and inerrancy of the Bible, many can be found who absolutely ignore or neglect the Old Testament, which amounts to the same thing as rejecting its relevance.

In the words of Gary North, the Old Testament is the Word of God, not the Word of God Emeritus. It applies to us completely. To functionally degrade it's authority is to create a de facto deuterocanon.

Read it. Live it. Obey it.

Me: “Homoousios” or “Homoiousios?”

Him: What?

Me: You’re not the real St. Nicholas.

"All civilization begins in theocracy and ends in democracy. "

If you spport mass immigration, third world refugees, welfare, etc., you hate your neighbors.

You hate your European neighbors being ethnically replaced, you hate your peaceful countrymen being terrorized by third world criminals, and you hate your taxpaying neighbors being robbed by the government to support useless parasites.

And if you take issue with the above statements because they weren't adequately winsome, you're a low-T beta male.

“Your wickedness makes you as it were heavy as lead, and to tend downwards with great weight and pressure towards hell; and if God should let you go, you would immediately sink and swiftly descend and plunge into the bottomless gulf, and your healthy constitution, and your own care and prudence, and best contrivance, and all your righteousness, would have no more influence to uphold you and keep you out of hell, than a spider’s web would have to stop a falling rock.

Were it not for the sovereign pleasure of God, the earth would not bear you one moment; for you are a burden to it; the creation groans with you; the creature is made subject to the bondage of your corruption, not willingly; the sun does not willingly shine upon you to give you light to serve sin and Satan; the earth does not willingly yield her increase to satisfy your lusts; nor is it willingly a stage for your wickedness to be acted upon; the air does not willingly serve you for breath to maintain the flame of life in your vitals, while you spend your life in the service of God’s enemies.”

Jonathan Edwards

South Africa is 10x worse than any Western country and it still hasn't collapsed. Until it happens in South Africa, speculating about a collapse in the West (and the perceived benefits of such) is a escapist cope.

Stop with the unhistorical nonsense 😅

In the Baptist vs Presbyterian debate, which side has the burden of proof? We all agree that infants were included in the covenant of grace; Presbies are arguing God never changed this system, and Baptists are saying He did. But to support a radical change from the OC like throwing an entire class of people out of the covenant, we would need explicit support for that proposition, so the burden of proof is on the Baptists. And of course, since they can find no such verse, Presbyterianism is true.
