Jesus and John Wayne is off to a great start! ImageImage
I’m going to continuously come back here to tweet about my findings and fun comments going through this book. Hope y’all enjoy!
why is it an either or? One can’t read the gospels while ignoring Revelation. If evangelicals only read Revelation while ignoring the ministry of Jesus I’d get it, but istm that evangelicals have no problem focusing on the gospels. Heck, most find Revelation too confusing! Image
uhhhh, alrighty then Image
LOLOLOLOLOLOL Image
could it also be that *gasp*, the anti feminist Christian movement was simply in continuity with the gender norms established in Sacred Scripture and handed to the Church through the deposit of faith and consistently held until the late 1800’s??? No, it’s purely political duh 💅 Image
Could it also be that *gasp*, these views handed down in the deposit of faith actually touch on cultural issues and that because of this they will be incorporated into political discourse and thereby “influenced” by the political issues of the day??? Hmmmm
AGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH Image

I will attempt to explain this in a distinctly Reformed manner but also in such a way that others who affirm real presence (RC’s, EO’s, Lutherans, etc) may sympathize with certain points. Here’s a thread:
Traditional Christian theology begins by assuming that human beings are composed of both body and soul (Gen 2:7; Eccl 12:7; Luke 23:43; Matt 10:28). Just as our bodies hunger and thirst for food, so too do our souls thirst after God for nourishment (Psalm 42:1-2).
While our bodies one day die, our souls continue on experiencing spiritual life through beholding the face of God (1 John 3:2), or spiritual death through enduring everlasting torment (Mark 9:47b-48).

“Millions have begun to feel like strangers in their own land. They recoil from a popular culture that is saturated with raw sex and trumpets hedonistic values. They see old holidays disappear and old heroes degraded. They see the art and artifacts of a glorious past removed from Image
their museums and replaced by the depressing, the ugly, the abstract, the anti-American. They watch as books they cherished disappear from the schools they attended, to be replaced by authors and titles they never heard of. The moral code that they were raised to live by has
been overthrown. The culture they grew up with is dying inside the country they grew up in. In half a lifetime, many Americans have seen their God dethroned, their heroes defiled, their culture polluted, their values assaulted, their country invaded, and themselves

1. Sam Francis has many interesting political insights and quoting him does not imply a full endorsement of all his ideas, especially those regarding race.
2. Why don’t you publicize my thread where I explicitly state I am not a white nationalist? .
3. Historically speaking, the Jews (both the leaders and the crowd demanding he be crucified) killed Christ in giving him to the Romans. This is a historical fact that has real theological implications regarding the covenants and we shouldn’t ditch it because of post-WW2 values.
I do not think Blake will take my comments in good faith. He seems to be set in his ways. I say all this for those watching the madness who may be curious. I would say mark and avoid Blake by block, but he clearly uses something to get around the blocks so do what you will.

Watching people outside of RW circles try and decode RW language and then triumphantly proclaim someone a racist when they think they've cracked it and supposedly spot it somewhere has got to be some of the funniest stuff the Lord has graced me to witness.
We're not as clever as they think. Most of the dog whistles I learn about I learn not from RW circles but from these watch dogs trying to figure out the online right.
I honestly think the way it goes is that they latch onto a term or phrase used pretty widely, find a connection in a smaller circle with that phrase, and then project it onto all usages of that phrase.

You see this frequently with the claim that "fren" means far right ethno-nat.

Johannes Althusius on the character and customs of various peoples: Image
“The character, customs, nature, attitude, and viewpoint of the people are to be sought and learned from the nature and location of a region, and from the age, condition, circumstances, and education of the people therein. One learns about the nature of men from the location of
the region. He does this by considering whether the region is situated in the east, north, west, south, or wherever in relation to the rising and setting of the sun, and whether it is flat, mountainous, windy, or calm. Oriental peoples are by nature more humane and polite than

Sometimes saying or doing the little things matter. Say mankind instead of humankind. Write BC and AD instead of BCE and CE. Especially in a college environment attempting to normalize these little things can mean a lot. Normalize normalcy and condition others to get used to it.
Yea you’ll get funny looks and maybe even a correction, but if you do just look at the person like their insane. It’s what I do lol
