We can see this when we compare some cultures. For instance, let’s compare Christian culture, thug culture, Islamic culture, and secular culture. Of course, Christianity gave us the Renaissance, and all of the modern human flourishing we’ve ever experienced. It gave us the truths that founded our civilization, and made us greater than any other civilization that has been, all to extol the glory of God. You can argue against that, but if you do, it is because you live in a fantasy land, and have no firm foundation, or ability to perceive, and recognize truth, as you are lost, and dead in your sins.
Thug culture’s values are drug abuse, selling drugs, sexual immorality, assaults, murders, rapes, and on, and on. Pretty much the opposite of godly living. They don’t seek the glory of the one true God, nor His will, or holiness. No, they seek their own glory, and satisfaction of all their fleshly lusts.
Islamic culture seeks the death of everyone who will not convert to Islam. For those who do convert, it is a totalitarian system of, “do, and do not.” There is no mercy, or grace from Allah. It is a religion of hate, and revenge. All you need to do to see this, is objectively look around the world at the islamic nations. I don’t care to argue with you. Go back to your desert god whose prophet was a child molester, rapist, and murderer. Jesus is none of those things.
Not to be left out is secularism, which may be more pernicious than all the others. Since secularism denies deity entirely, they have no solid basis for moral good, or evil. Everything is permissible to them, except anyone who tells them they are wrong. They will promote the murder of babies in the womb, out of the womb, the murder of someone who is very ill, the murder of someone with situational depression, the murder of the elderly, and on, and on. They hate humanity, and love human suffering, and death, because they are of the father satan. They value every sin known to mankind. Every perversion is a virtue to them. Again, you can argue, but you are wrong. You’ve been given over to a debased mind, and your reasoning is debased, and foolishness.
If you want to have a valuable culture again, change your culture, by repenting of your sins, and trusting in Christ’s atoning work on the cross to justify you to God. There is no other way! Salvation is found solely in Jesus Christ! If you read His word, and believe it, your mind will become conformed to it. Your thinking in your spirit, will begin to walk it, and live it out! Your values will become conformed to what God says is valuable. This is the way, not all the pragmatic, worldly posturing, and virtue signaling! Repent, and believe!!!
It seems like the world is employing the bogeyman of, “mental health issues” to all the mass shootings. We know where this leads. It leads to a removal of responsibility for the crime from the shooter, and places it on society, their families, or some other external source. Modern psychology is an offshoot of Puritan Christians practice of, “soul care.” Which in Greek the word soul is, “ψυχή” or transliterated as , “psuchē” or psyche for those of you who don’t know what an upsilon is. They practiced Biblical counseling, also known as nouthetic counseling. The practice involved listening to the problems, determining which sin, or sins, the person was in, and assigning them study from the Bible so they can read for themselves the word of God that would correct them. They would then be faced with a choice, admit their sin, repent, and try to do what they ought, or deny their sins, and refuse to repent, while making their troubles worse.
That is a very, “nut-shelled” explanation. This process usually never went longer than 12 weeks. If it had, the person wasn’t being genuine. Later men like Freud, and Jung came along, and secularized the practice. They removed every effective aspect of the practice, including the acknowledgment of personal sin, and guilt, repentance, and making amends. They shifted the blame to something external from the person. They believed the problem wasn’t sin, because they didn’t believe in such a thing. They thought the problem was the shame, and guilt a person felt. They sought to remove the impact of shame, and guilt. By the way, when the Holy Spirit convicts you of some sin, you should feel godly sorrow over it. This is why we have so many people who go to therapy for years, and always come up with some new disorder to continue going for.
The real problem is our sin. We raise children without the fear of God. We raise them in ignorance of His word. We raise them understanding a set of laws, but no idea of what grace is. We raise them to hate what is called good, and to have super egos. We raise them without teaching that each human life has value, and dignity, being made in the image of God. We raise them thinking that they have all the power in the world, and that the world is theirs. We raise them thinking they are the pinnacle of some intellect-free evolutionary force. Of course they see themselves as superior. Of course they see all of creation as being for them. The creation is for God’s glory. Their lives are not for them, but for God’s glory. You are not your own, but you belong to God, as His creature. He created you for His purpose! It isn’t our right to murder other people. They are God’s, just like you are God’s.
So here we are. The bogeyman of psychological problems. Seems legitimate. Until you look a bit deeper. Who will they blame? Society. Who needs to change? Society. Who is society? Collectively, we are. So it isn’t the shooter’s sin. It is ours. That kind of thinking leads to sweeping gun legislation, and a complete destruction of the country, and the left knows it. Granted, there are a lot of useful idiots out there who emote their way through these issues, rather than employing critical thinking. They are the ones who will be manipulated because of their insatiable need to be virtuous, not realizing they are doing the devil’s work.
What is the answer? Go back! Repent! We need to go back to God. We need to go back to revering Him, His Word, and Christ. We need to teach our children the gospel, and the entire Bible. We need to pray for our nation, and leaders. Pray that God will convert the slaves of satan in our government. Pray that if they are not to be converted, that God will remove them from power. Before any of this, get down on your knees, confess your sins, and ask God to forgive you. Be as good a parent as you know how to be. We’ll never be completely right here, and now. That will have to wait for glory, but we can take care of the mess in front of us, if God wills it.
In the Grimm’s Snow White fairy tale, she is taken out to the forest at 7 years old. The huntsman has mercy on her, and lets her go. He kills a wild pig, and brings it’s heart back as proof to the queen/stepmother/witch. She has it salted, and cooked, and eats it, believing it to be the heart of Snow White… That’s one sick woman. Anyhow, after three attempts on her life, she finally gets her with the poison apple. Some years have passed. The prince doesn’t awaken her with a kiss.
He sees her, asks the dwarfs for her because he can’t go on without seeing her beauty everyday. Keep in mind, she is supposed to be dead, and perfectly preserved in a glass coffin at this point. He has his men carry the coffin back to his kingdom. On the way they stumble, and the poison bit of apple is dislodged from her throat, and she wakes up wondering where she is, and what is happening. The prince explains, proclaims his love, and they get married. They invite the stepmother/queen/witch to the wedding. They confront her. They have a pair of iron shoes heated in a fire until they are glowing hot, put them on her, and make her dance at their wedding until she drops down dead. Happy ending kids!!! Instead of this, Disney made the classic that was watered down. Now they want to make one that is a feminazi dream, that includes all types of perversion. They keep digging their hole deeper. Who still watches their movies?
I recently kicked a guy out of the group for writing that James White, and Calvinists, believe that God is the author of moral evil. (In a nutshell.) He was being very simple minded, and ignorant, as well as insulting. He was acting as if only Calvinists have been concerned with theodicy. The concept of moral evil, and the theological study of it is called, “Theodicy.” It isn’t just a Calvinist thing. People of all monotheistic religions have had to wrestle with this idea. You, as a Christian have probably briefly thought about it, but decided it was above your pay-grade, and simply trusted in the goodness of God. This is not a fault, so to speak. It is the default position until you are ready to deal with this idea, as one who is mature in the Faith.
Let me set the argument up. God is sovereign. He is omniscient. He is omnipotent. We accept these truths. If those things are true about God, and babies are still molested, and killed, then God must be responsible because, He knew it was going to happen, He has the power to stop it, and in His sovereignty did not intervene. At this point, most people shut down. We have to stare into the difficult things if we are to boldly share our faith, because this topic will come up when you argue with an atheist. It is the whole, “If God is good, why all the human suffering?” argument.
If you don’t know the terms; Sovereign- God is ruler of all He has created. Omniscient- God knows all that can be known, and He knows it perfectly, as He is the source of all knowledge. Omnipotence- God is all powerful. He alone upholds the creation by the power of His Word. If He willed it, you would simply cease existing.
Also, consider that moral evil, and human suffering are not the same. Human suffering isn’t necessarily directly caused by individual sin. For instance, you are told you have cancer, and are going to die a painful death. You may not have committed a sin that lead directly to this, but you are a sinner, and as a sinner are destined to die. The Bible is clear that suffering is God’s providence for our sanctification. Moral evil is the breaking of God’s laws, and violation of His character, by individual’s committing cosmic treason. They are His creatures, yet He has provided in His will for them to commit treason against Him as their Sovereign Lord.
Now, considering those ideas, look at the argument again. If God is all of those things, how can moral evil occur? Sure, we can understand why human suffering happens. We are all under the curse of God, due to the original sin of Adam. Well would you look at that? How was Adam able to sin? It is true that Adam, and Eve were the only two people who were created by God with a volition that was not enslaved to sin. Everyone after them, except for the second Adam, Jesus Christ, has been born as a slave to sin. If you answer this question, you’ll be able to answer all the other questions about moral evil, and why God has provided for it in His eternal, sovereign plan, that is also informed by all of His other attributes.
God owns everything He has created, even you, even an infant. How many people did God kill in the flood? Did He kill little children in the flood? Was it a death of suffering? Was it morally evil for God to kill babies in the flood? The way you answer these questions is telling. If you say that God was not morally evil for the killing of the infants, and their suffering death, you have to explain how that is. Most people say that it is because the world was so wicked, they deserved it, “but what about the innocent babies people will cry?”
By now, you should be able to see where I’m going with this. Since before God created anything, or anyone, He was always going to create just as He did. Remember, you can’t understand eternity, and you can’t understand God’s ways. You are just a small little speck of cosmic dust, floating around on courses you did not set for yourself. You may be self-deceived, and think you are setting your course, and are the master of your own destiny, and temporally you are, but eternally you are not. Still crying that I won’t consider the two categories in the flawed way you want me to? I don’t care. You are wrong. So now to it. God owns you. He owns the babies. He owns the criminals. He owns the murderers. He owns Satan. Satan is His creature. None of His creatures are omniscient, omnipotent, or sovereign! God’s plan will run its course, exactly as He intends. You are not yours. You are not for your own purposes. You are for God’s intended purposes. No matter how bad you suffer, and no matter at whose hands it happens, you cannot say that God has wronged you, or done evil to you. You are born in sin, in sin your mother conceived you. You are by nature a child of Adam, and must die! You can die, and rise in Christ, or you can die, and suffer the second death, and Hell. Do you believe that God is truly good, and has a purpose for every suffering moment of His creation, or do you believe that He is not in control of that suffering, and has no purpose for it in His creation? I for one, won’t question the validity of God’s sovereign volition in the causes of human suffering, and moral evil. God uses Satan for His own purposes, just like He uses our sins, for His own ends as well. Yes, you read that right! Stop trying to make yourself God’s judge in the matters of human sin, volition, and suffering! Does this make God the author of sin? Only if you haven’t understood a thing I just wrote, proving you are simple minded, and immature. You cannot judge the law giver, and Judge! We are subject to His laws. He is good, no matter what we think of how He has decided to run His creation.
After reading the long answer, here is the short answer. No, God is not the author of moral evil. Is it possible for us to understand how that is in light of what you just read? No, not fully, but yes, in part.
Before you get too worked up, I’m not a legalist who has elevated October 31st to the level of a Primary Article of the Faith. Hopefully that puts to bed some suspicions of where I’m headed with this. Consequentially, all the legalists are now mad, and proclaiming that I am going to hell. You all can quit reading, and go back to slandering me online.
Here is a screenshot I took of my search results for, “Reformation Day kids costumes.” This is to prove, that theoretically, people do dress their kids up for this day. I know some of you think this is ludicrous, and that Christian parents should just let their kids dress up like scary demons from hell.
When I was a kid, way back in the 70’s and 80’s, the costumes were pretty tame. Most of us either wore a plastic super hero mask held to your head with a little elastic string, or our mom’s put make-up on us to turn us into hobos, mustached villains, or some other low-budget production. We could never afford masks. That was for the rich kids. So, we went as hobos, or cowboys. I contrast those days with our time, and how kids come to my door dressed in elaborate costumes that appear to be pretty expensive, and time demanding. I also compare our costumes themes, to the ones I see today. Nobody was scared by our costumes. Even the teenagers with the skeleton suites weren’t scary. Now I see kids, with their parents, come to my door wearing masks that rival Hollywood make-up before all the CGI animation. I’ve seen deformed monstrous faces, demons, blood drenched werewolves, zombies with gore hanging out of their mouths, all the while hearing little voices from inside the hideous masks echoing the nostalgic high pitched ultimatum of youth, “Trick, or treat!”
Don’t get me wrong, there are still plenty of princesses, cowboys, superheroes, and sheet-clad ghosts. Even in the scariest of visages, there is still the innocent desire for treats. (I’m not calling the little sinners innocent. Calm down Felicia.) Considering what I’ve just shared, I want you to think about an alternative to celebrating traditional Halloween. It is a traditional holiday on the same day as Halloween. It is called, “Reformation Day.” You can still dress your kids up. They can still get treats. Instead of celebrating scary demonic looking candy extortion, we can celebrate the beginning of the Protestant Reformation. This was a good thing, unless you are Roman Catholic. Then, well… You pretty much would rather people celebrate scary looking gargoyle statues on Churches, or something. That is one thing I never really got. Let’s put these scary sculptures on our Churches to keep the baddies away… I thought by the nature of God being Who He is, and the Church being His bride, we wouldn’t need scary sculptures… Back on topic! You could have your kids dress up like Monks, or maidens. You could do a Reformation Day celebration at your Church. We have soups, and breads. You could still hand out candy at your door, but also provide some gospel tracts. I like the ones from Living Waters. Here is one of their Halloween tracts. You could put a Bluetooth speaker outside, and have it stream a reading of Luther’s 95 Thesis in English. You could put a TV in the window, and have the audio on the outdoor speaker, while looping the, “Are you a good person?” cartoon gospel presentation. You can teach your kids about why the Reformation was so important in world, and Church history. This is also a good way to contrast how the world views Halloween, and how we view the world. Your kids will see the scary costumes. You have them dressed in costumes, but they are not demonic looking. You can show them the difference between worldviews. Teach them the virtues in the Christian worldview. They are old enough to understand more than you give them credit. You all are a pretty creative bunch. You can come up with some good ways to celebrate the day, and teach your kids good things, while not making them blind to how the world is.
By the way, ladies… We need to talk. You should never wear immodest costumes while escorting your little toddlers around the neighborhood on their quest for a sugar high. I’ve seen way too much, of way too many women who live in these parts. No naughty nurse costumes. No lady vampire costumes. No witch costumes. You all ought to be ashamed of yourselves! I know the Christian moms are not doing this. You Christian moms need to tell your friends this is not a good thing for them to be doing.
Now, to the dads. You should not be walking your kids around the neighborhood with a beer attached to your finger in frat boy style. I’m not against having a beer, but you are supposed to be protecting your children on their quest, not simply tolerating the experience, and needing to self-medicate. Be present, and enjoy the time you have with them before they reach 12 and decide they hate you.
Alrighty then, rant over. Go out, and share the gospel of Jesus. Enjoy your life in Him. Enjoy your family.
I’m failing to see how Christian Nationalism is being conflated with White Nationalism. There seems to be some sort of mischaracterization going on in the minds of some. White Nationalism is the idea of having a nation comprised, and ruled, by a homogenous, monolithic, group of people with pale skin, from the ethnicities of Europe. Christian Nationalism, if I’m not mistaken, is the idea of having a nation comprised, and ruled, by Christians, and the Bible as the main authority. Nationalism is simply the idea that your nation is great, and you are proud of your culture, and values, as a nation, and want to promote its interests.
There is nothing inherently immoral, or wrong with nationalism contrary to what globalist communists would have you believe. Of course, it behooves them to denigrate any type of nationalism. They want to be global overlords who torture us all, and kill us. They appear benevolent, but are satanists. Some cultures values are more valuable than others. The globalists would say that I was wrong in the statement, but in so doing they are affirming my argument by extoling their values above mine. I have a Christian worldview, and my values come from my faith. Their values come from what they believe, and put faith in to trust. Of course, since it isn’t the God of the Bible, it is in some evil, fallen, anthropocentric ideology.
In the past, people were considered to be different races of humankind, but do to modern genetic research it has been determined that there is only one race of man. Duh! I’ve been saying this for a while. According to the Bible we have ethnos, (ἔθνος) translated as, “nations,” or “peoples,” and in the past some translations rendered it, “race.” These are groups of localized peoples in tribes, towns, villages, who developed their own distinct languages, and customs. They would adopt names for themselves that passed into common use historically. People would move between these places. Some people would be physically very disparate from the people they moved to live in community with. They would contribute their own distinct genes to the gene pool of that area, as well as some of their values, and practices. They would also adopt much of the predominate culture.
White Nationalism, is no different morally than Black Nationalism. If you didn’t know there was such a thing as, Black Nationalism, I’ll forgive you. The media never talks about it, even though it is just as prevalent in our culture. It is funny that when you look up, Black Nationalism on the internet, you’ll find definitions that are obviously promoting it as not racist ideology, but rather anti-racist. It is too hilarious. The hypocrisy of the leftist globalists is obvious, and disgusting. The true definition is the same as the definition for White Nationalism, just replace white with black. They attempt to make it sound so magnanimous, like it is some fight against colonialism. These people trying to start so-called race wars are the enemy.
Prejudice based on skin color is morally evil, although the modern race-baiters have made it feel right. Unfortunately, many people don’t think past skin deep generalizations. It is so much easier just to hate people than to get to the heart of the matter. There are even some Christians who have succumbed to the temptation to hate people based on their skin color. I know that after watching a bunch of X(Twitter) videos of POC’s doing racism, I often get angry, and want to hate people. As a Christian, I mortify that sin. This is part of the manipulation by our wannabe overlords. They run social media. They run the mainstream media. They want us to break down into camps, tribes, and hate each other. If we do that, we won’t see them behind the curtain pulling our strings. The machine can’t work if we don’t fall under their control. Fight the temptation to hate people.
This current misnomer of Christian Nationalism being the same as White Nationalism has to be squashed. I’ve heard, and read about too many people, including Christians, believing this error. If you happen to be one of them, consider yourself corrected. You can no longer claim ignorance in conflating the two. Also, don’t be fooled into thinking that Black Nationalism isn’t racists. It is. There is nothing wrong with Christian Nationalism. I happen to think it is an exceptional idea. I’m even fine with a Christian Monarchy. Afterall, Christ is our King!
If you like mediaeval epic poetry, you should definitely read this, “The Song of Roland.” It was written around 1040 Anno Domini. It is about Roland, a heroic knight of King Emperor Charlemagne. There are gory battle scenes. Be prepared for that. More importantly it tells of a battle for Spain between the European Christian Emperor, and the Islamic invaders who had captured Spain. It portrays the muslims as the enemy of God. Which they are. It could be seen as a work of art to rally the people for the crusades. The schools maleducate the children into believing that we are the bad guys for waging the crusades. The first crusade was to liberate Jerusalem from the satanic mulsims who conquered it. The rest of the crusades were to liberate southern Europe from the muslims. They had invaded after the first crusade, and occupied southern Europe for approximately 800 years until they were finally driven out. They would tear down Churches, and build mosques over them. Now, the evil E.U. and globalists have waged another crusade against Europe by opening the borders to the foreign invaders. Now over 80% of boys born in England are given an islamic name.
It appears that previously funnyman, Jimmy Fallon is in trouble with his Communist Comrades. He fails to understand that you can’t apologize enough to crazy leftists, because they are always angry. They only feel happy when they are being hateful. The expression of their hate, makes them feel virtuous, like they are morally superior. They know deep down inside they are going to hell. Someone needs to tell Jimmy, “It’s not too late. You can be funny again. You’ll need build an independent distribution via the internet like so many others have, but you can do it. Tom MacDonald for one, Jordan Peterson for another. Look at how Tucker is doing it. You don’t have to be a slave.”
In the environment of leftists government propaganda, like during the USSR, comedy dies. Nobody watches these shows for comedy anymore. They watch Big Brother’s face on another face, to have their hate validated. The only voice tolerated is that of Big Brother’s. Your voice is his voice. If you don’t say what he says, you are the enemy. There is no room for any variance. The only way to not be a slave, is to behave as a free man in broad daylight. Exercise your God given rights. Sure, we’ll get locked up by the feds, but we’ll spread our cause inside the prisons. These type of regimes always rise, and always fall. It may take a few hundred years, but they will fall. The best thing you can do is repent of your sins, and trust Christ for your salvation. Read His word. Study it. Become so grounded in it, that when they kill you for walking outside with your head up, and enjoying fresh air without a permit, you’ll know that when you step into eternity, it will be with Christ. Ask yourself, “Am I a slave too?”
“Thus man by nature being a willing servant of sin, is more desirous to be bound in the devil’s iron chain, than in God’s silken cords. What greater atheism can there be, than to use God as if he were inferior to the devil?”
“1. The rule of Satan is owned before the rule of God. The natural man would rather be under the guidance of Satan than the yoke of his Creator. Adam chose him to be his governor in Paradise. No sooner had Satan spoke of God in a way of derision (Gen. 3:1, 5), “Yea, hath God said,” but man follows his counsel and approves of the scoff; and the greatest part of his posterity have not been wiser by his fall, but would rather ramble in the devil’s wilderness, than to stay in God’s fold. It is by the sin of man that the devil is become the god of the world, as if men were the electors of him to the government; sin is an election of him for a lord, and a putting the soul under his government. Those that live according to the course of the world, and are loth to displease it, are under the government of the prince of it. The greatest part of the works done in the world is to enlarge the kingdom of Satan. For how many ages were the laws whereby the greatest part of the world was governed in the affairs of religion, the fruits of his usurpation and policy? When temples were erected to him, priests consecrated to his service; the rites used in most of the worship of the world were either of his own coining, or the misapplying the rites God had ordained to himself, under the notion of a God: whence the apostle calls all idolatrous feasts the table of devils, the cup of devils, sacrifice to devils, fellowship with devils; devils being the real object of the pagan worship, though not formally intended by the worshipper; though in some parts of the Indies, the direct and peculiar worship is to the devil, that he might not hurt them. And though the intention of others was to offer to God, and not the devil, yet since the action was contrary to the will of God, he regards it as a sacrifice to devils. It was not the intention of Jeroboam to establish priests to the devil, when he consecrated them to the service of his calves, for Jehu afterwards calls them “the servants of the Lord” (2 Kings 10:23), “See if there be here none of the servants of the Lord,” to distinguish them from the servants of Baal; signifying that the true God was worshipped under those images, and not Baal, nor any of the gods of the heathens; yet the Scripture couples the calves and devils together, and ascribes the worship given to one to be given to the other: “He ordained him priests for the high places, and for the devils, and for the calves which he had made;” so that they were sacrifices to devils, notwithstanding the intention of Jeroboam and his subjects that had set them up and worshipped them, because they were contrary to the mind of God, and agreeable to the doctrine and mind of Satan, though the object of their worship in their own intention were not the devil, but some deified man or some canonized saint. The intention makes not a good action; if so, when men kill the best servants of God with a design to do God service, as our Saviour foretells, the action would not be murder; yet who can call it otherwise, since God is wronged in the persons of his servants? Since most of the worship of the world, which men’s corrupt natures incline them to, is false and different from the revealed will of God, it is a practical acknowledgment of the devil, as the governor, by acknowledging and practising those doctrines, which have not the stamp of divine revelation upon them, but were minted by Satan to depress the honor of God in the world. It doth concern men, then, to take good heed, that in their acts of worship they have a divine rule; otherwise it is an owning the devil as the rule: for there is no medium; whatsoever is not from God, is from Satan. But to bring this closer to us, and consider that which is more common among us: men that are in a natural condition, and wedded to their lusts, are under the paternal government of Satan (John 8:44): “Ye are of your father, the devil, and the lusts of your father you will do.” If we divide sin into spiritual and carnal, which division comprehends all, the devil’s authority is owned in both; in spiritual, we conform to his example, because those he commits; in carnal, we obey his will, because those he directs: he acts the one, and sets us a copy; he tempts to the other, and gives us a kind of a precept. Thus man by nature being a willing servant of sin, is more desirous to be bound in the devil’s iron chain, than in God’s silken cords. What greater atheism can there be, than to use God as if he were inferior to the devil? to take the part of his greatest enemy, who drew all others into the faction against him? to pleasure Satan by offending God, and gratify our adversary with the injury of our Creator? For a subject to take arms against his prince with the deadliest enemy both himself and prince hath in the whole world, adds a greater blackness to the rebellion.”

I’m often asked why I am against illegal immigration. When I explain that it is illegal, and what other countries do about it, I get a lot of pushback. I’ve tried relating it to the home. I say, “Imagine you are at home with your family about to have dinner, and a stranger walks up your drive, opens your door, takes a shower, eats your food, plops down in your recliner, and starts ruling the TV remote watching whatever they like, without saying a word to you. How would you respond to that?” Now, some people lie, and say they would be fine with it. I know it is a lie. They know it is a lie, but at least they heard the argument. Others would concede that it was wrong, but won’t allow for this simplified argument claiming that it is incongruent. A few will admit illegal immigration is wrong, but have parents who have illegally immigrated, and their emotional immaturity is overpowering their intellect, and they won’t be moved from their position. White liberal women are the most unreasonable creatures to deal with on this topic. They become enraged, and act like mad animals. Isn’t it amazing that there are still people out there who deny the doctrine of Total Depravity?
There are some bleeding hearts self-professed Christians out there who will accuse me of not being hospitable to sojourners. I think it is simple enough to debunk that accusation. Those who sojourned with Israel in the Old Testament were expected to follow their laws, and accept their culture. It was not the other way around. Hospitality was extended to short term, temporary interactions with a traveler. In modern times, that would look like us giving them some water, and food, at the border before sending them back to do it legally. It isn’t modeled by us opening the floodgates, and letting every person in to loot, and pillage our nation. We have a way to become a legal resident. People can apply for a green card, and a visa. They don’t have to come here illegally as raiders. I don’t care what their supposed intentions are. See the first argument. Anyway, that is my two cents. If you don’t like it, read someone else’s blog for crying out loud.
