Have you ever considered the possibility that you might be tweeting with an actual demon? Or considered that if demons can use a Ouija board, tarot, or scrying as a medium, they could use A.I.?

Does the Bible support demons possessing technology as a possibility? Let's look 🧵 Image I write about 'supernaturality' a lot at Insight to Incite because the Bible says when Jesus returns it will be like the days of Noah. And those days were weird.

Increasingly, the world is starting to embrace the reality of a spiritual, unseen world. This is good. Image

When @JDVance mentioned the Ordo Amoris - a doctrinal concept that says God desires us order our love *first* to those close to us, leftists and Anti-XNats lost their ever-loving mind.

Well, guess what. Biologically, God wrote the Ordo Amoris into our actual DNA. Here's why 🧵 Image Before I get into the science of it, let me explain the concept briefly. A traditional Christian concept, the Ordo Amoris was posited by St. Augustine and others, arguing our love is to be ordered accordingly:

1. Spouse
2. Family
3. Community
4. Country
5. World Image

You might have seen this term being thrown about recently, and not know what it means. But that's okay, it hasn't existed that long.

But for your FYI, let's look at the meaning of the "Longhouse" and what that has to do with female-led social structures 🧵 Image The term "Longhouse" was primarily an anthropological one, referring to a curious architectual style in primitive matriarchal cultures (like the Iroquois tribe, the Dayak people, Neolithic Europeans, etc).

Lady-led communities usually revolved around a building like this: Image

Hidden in the news headlines today, you'll find a bizarre story of the Maryland legislature voting on a resolution to absolve past practitioners of witchcraft and purge their convictions.

For Christians, it begs the question...is witchcraft *real* or it it pure superstition? Let's look! 🧵Image The Maryland bill would provide exoneration to those convicted of witchcraft, even posthumously, going back centuries.

It may seem odd, but as witchcraft grows in the United States, modern witches are seeking to de-stigmatize the practice. Image

Even discernment guys have to admit when they were wrong, and offer apologies to those who warned us. It's long past due to admit that those warning us about the dangers of "New Calvinism" and the Reformed Resurgence were right.

Let's look at those who took us Woke🧵 Image In 2006, the year the SBC showed its first numerical decline, Collin Hansen wrote his famous article on the "Young, Restless, and Reformed."

Calvinists were ecstatic to see the movement explode, and were thrilled and optimistic to see what God would do. Image

Neither is it conspiratorial to claim Israel spies on America. In fact, they’ve been accused and convicted (1954, 1967, 1973, 1985, 1997, 1998, 2004, 2010) of this more than any other country. Image And it’s not conspiratorial to point out the in fact did intentionally attack the U.S.S. Liberty in 1967, which is declassified from the CIA.

None of this helps public perception. Image

Let’s do a conspiracy theory mega-thread on the JOOOOS (that’s how people spell it when they make fun of you knowing historic facts).

Jew-Hatred is sin because hating *anyone* is sin. But facts aren’t sinful. Let’s look at some facts. 🧵 Image First, you’ll notice I don’t use the term “antisemitism.” This is because it was invented by Wilhelm Marr in 1879 as a part of his concerted effort to get Jews in Europe to migrate to Palestine.

It’s a term of propagandic origins, and loaded with hidden bias. Image

Folks are overlooking a nifty little piece of the puzzle, in understanding why Trump isn’t taking any attitude from Zelenskyy.

It’s pretty likely that Zelenskyy’s *literal* Nazi brigade tried to assassinate him, and he knows it.

Let’s go down the rabbit hole 🧵 Image We all know that Zelenskyy has benefited from the NeoCon’s endless war-hawking, receiving more than 100 billion in aid from U.S. taxpayers.

In fact, he’s only in power because the U.S. State Dept overthrew Ukraine’s democratically elected government in 2014. Image

In honor of Russell Moore’s meltdown over @realDonaldTrump being the peacemaker that Jesus called him to be in Ukraine, Polemics Santa is gonna pull some Russell Moore memories out of his bag as presents for you all. 🎅

Let’s look at the “ethics” guru of evangelicalism 🧵 Image When Uganda banned public displays of homosexuality - amidst a public health AIDS crisis - Moore went on a press tour denouncing it as unbiblical…

Despite God giving such laws in the Bible. Image

It's serendipitous that during the week Christians are all arguing about empathy, left-leaning evangelicals are shaming POTUS for ending the war in Ukraine.

And yet, giving Zelenskyy NOTHING is a loving act of Christian Charity. Let me explain 🧵 Image Sometimes, empathy can be harmful (for example, giving Zelenskyy money to extend the pointless bloodshed in Ukraine to continue a war that was lost many months ago).

Ukraine has become a meat-grinder, suffering 70k deaths and 350k wounded. Image

You might have noticed Erick Erickson, Russell Moore, Jon Piper, Ed Stetzer, and other leftists *really* hate "conspiracy theories." They attack anything but the establishment narrative on everything from Covid to Fluoride in water.

Why is that? I explain why...here 🧵. . Image Stetzer attacks any opinion that doesn't align with establishment media. In 2017 he claimed that asking questions about Seth Rich's murder was "bearing false witness" and Christians must "repent."

Btw, the FBI refuses to obey FOIAs and the story gets crazier by the day. Image

By now, most have figured out that key figures in Leftist Evangelicalism have been only *posing* as conservatives. Some of us knew they were scoundrels 5 or 10 years ago. How did we know?

Let me share 10 discernment tips to show how you too can smoke out the devil's foxes. 🧵 Image J Gresham Machen pointed out that liberal Christians HAVE TO pose as conservatives in order to take institutional positions of power.

Then ten tips are explained in this article at Insight to Incite. But keep scrolling, I'll list them all here: Image

In our post-mortem on the central figures of Leftist Evangelicalism, we ask how a radical racist, Black Nationalist, and Marxist wound up promoted by huge evangelical institutions like TGC, the SBC, and beyond.

Let’s look at Ron Burns. You know him as Thabiti Anyabwile. 🧵 Image If you’re new, you might only know Thabiti as the evangelical leader who endorsed Harris and before her, Biden, or said those who don’t are racist. Image

As the USAID and Dark Money gravy train ends for liberal evangelicalism and “Big Eva,” a post-mortem on the movement’s major figures is necessary.

In honor of being blocked yesterday by Ed Stetzer, Polemics Santa 🎅🏻 has some treats from his bottomless bag of memories 🧵 Image Stetzer has Southern Baptists wrapped around his finger when he was head of Lifeway Research, but I called him out as a closet liberal in 2013.

Then he sent out this famous tweet attacking anybody upset that Jon Piper insinuated the Pope was a Christian brother. Image

Seven years ago today, Billy Graham died.

Polemics Santa came bearing gifts from his bottomless bag of memories, so let’s take a little journey remembering the under-reported facts about Graham’s life and legacy. 🧵 Image The older Billy Graham got, the worse his theology seemed to get. In the end, he seemed to espouse Universalism, and went so far as to claim Mormons are saved because they’re good people. Image

Have you noticed that a lot of evangelical churches have suddenly lost their pulpits? Who took them? Where did they go?

Well, take a little trip with me down memory lane and discover the whole point to the church pulpit, and why it'd be real good if we brought them back. 🧵 Image Pulpits are actually a very old tradition.The term "pulpit" comes from the Latin pulpitum, meaning a raised platform. They actually pre-date Christianity.

But it's about what happens *behind* the pulpit that gives it real historic significance within Christian churches. Image

With all the leftist “Christians” with their panties in a wad today, it’s a good time to revisit why Ukraine is an unjust war, and all Christians should call for an end to it (and why Trump is right).

Let’s look at why the Ukraine conflict is unbiblical and sinful: 🧵 Image For 1.5 millennia, Christians have turned to Augustine’s extrapolation of “Just War Theory” from the Bible to determine if a military conflict is moral or not.

It’s called “Jus Ad Bellum.” Image

The government will rarely tell you what's *really* happening in terms of national security, and the media is too busy pushing narratives to pay attention.

But when you look at the facts surrounding airline disasters, it becomes clear America is under attack. Track with me 🧵 Image Yesterday, a Delta flight carrying 80 passengers crashed while attempting to land in Toronto. It was just one in a recent but long string of nearly inexplainable incidents since Trump took office. Image

I made some folks mad yesterday with my post about churches that turn the lights down to worship, or as I call it, “Dracula Religion.”

Where, when, and by whom did this practice develop? 🧵 Image Traditionally, church houses emphasized lighting. But not just *any* lighting; but sunlight. They spent fortunes on beautiful stained glass and windows to bring in natural light. But why? Image

Folks often don’t understand the rather complex and deep rules of etiquette in the rural South.

We believe in showing respect the way our mama taught us to, so here are some rules that might help you understand our ways. 🧵 Image Understanding inside-outside etiquette is a good start. Inside a place of public gathering (unless only men are gathered, like a barber shop or old-time coffee shop at 6AM), the hat comes OFF.

If you’re wondering why @mikecosper is currently melting down over RFK and is defending Big Pharma like it died on the cross for him, I explain in this post at Insight to Incite. 🧵 Image Essentially, it’s because Cosper is Statist, someone who views the government as having deified power. This is why they defend Big Government and bureaucracy with religious zeal.

And all cults have witch doctors, going back to Simon Magus. Image
