His Name for ever shall endure last like the sun it shall; Men shall be blessed in Him, and blessed all nations shall Him call. Now blessed be the Lord, our God, the God of Israel, For He alone does wonderous works, in glory that excel. And blessed be His glorious Name to all eternity; The whole earth let His glory fill. Amen, soet it be. Merry Christmas, #nostr #ToChristAlone

Getting harder not to see this as another FF

Faith is trust, and trust is established through a reasoned assessment and assurance that the object of that faith is trustworthy. Faith is neither blind nor superstitious no wishful thinking nor *only* personal. Reducing faith to merely a personal relationship with Christ that has no real weight of objective truth behind it and no real requirements on the world is antithetical to the Biblical definition of faith and is one of the biggest reasons the West is on the suicidal path it has taken.

Jesus says that He is God. And he was murdered for saying it. As C. S. Lewis put the famous trilemma: Jesus is either a lair, a lunatic, or the Lord. There are no other options.

What is weird is when someone is publicly against homosexuality and people think that automatically means the man is himself some closeted self-loathing homosexual. It is possible to be straight, to think homosexuality morally deplorable, and mean it.

Yes and justice flows from God's moral order and law. As I have mentioned elsewhere in this larger conversation, all magisterial law and action follows some kind of moral standard. It can't help but do this. So then we have to ask, which ought it to be? It cannot be neutral. And a Christian moral standard of justice and civil order is the most ideal because it is the only one that is most in accord with reality and most honoring of Christ. I know that various people within CN have different visions for what a Christian nation is, but what I mean to argue here is a pretty plainly Scriptural and standard historical view in which the civil magistrate weilds the sword of justice, protects private property, and, most importantly, acts as a protector and promoter of the True Religion. From what I have gathered of 's posts, I think this is where he is at too, but I won't speak for him.

Yes 🤝

This is self-defeating reasoning. In order for you to say that there is no ultimate source of truth, you yourself would need to be that source. Saying there is no absolute truth is itself an absolute truth claim. Circular logic.
