Potpourri … Random Observations On Random Subjects

“When you come in and say, oh, you know, these (trannie) men are—these are (trannie) men competing against women, you’re assuming that the women are weak and just can’t do anything…”

Whoopi Goldberg
The View

I think we need to agree with Whoopi Goldberg here. That is the assumption behind the outrage of men competing against women. It is true that compared to men in sports, women in sports are weak and just can’t do anything. Whoopi is right here.

Also, though we should note here that there is something implicit in what Whoopi is saying and that implicit something is that gender is a social construct. Because gender is a social construct women can compete against men in women’s sports. So, we have gone from a time where people believed (rightly) that race was biological and so not a social construct to a time where we now are believing that gender, like race, is not biological and is a social construct. I would argue that you can easily connect the dots between “Loving vs. Virginia,” and men competing in women’s sports.

“The ‘order of loves’ is not a mere divine command but one that coheres w/ our nature as bounded social beings — the sort of beings that maximize our good among people who share a second nature, that is, particularities.”

… MERE divine command?

Wolfe’s Natural Law skubala goes so far as to make God’s command “mere” in comparison with the fact that such and such coheres w/ our nature as if something cohereing w/ our nature is of a higher import than divine command. Divine command, per Wolfe, is mere, while “according to our nature” is pre-eminent.

Am I reading this wrong?

And even now the ax (covenant sanctions) is laid to the root of the trees (Israel). Therefore every tree which does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. Mt. 3:10

“Therefore I say to you, the kingdom of God will be taken from you (Israel) and given to a nation (Gentiles) bearing the fruits of it. Mt. 21:43

Infant Baptism proves that God is done with Israel as a covenant nation. The covenant was taken away from Israel and given to a people formed by peoples who would produce the fruit of it and so the old covenantal rites were dismissed in favor of new covenantal rites and yet those new covenantal rites have continuity with the old rites just as a butterfly has continuity with once being a pupae.

Look, I’m against the slaughter of the Alawites in Syria by Muslim nutjobs but to call these Syrian Alawites “Christian” is to do significant damage to the word and meaning of “Christian.” If these people lived here we would only call them “Christian” the way we call Mormon’s “Christian.”

I think we have to admit that the Reformed Denominational leadership going after and seeking to destroy the careers of people like Garris and Hunter are operating, whether they intend it or not, from an anti-Christ set of convictions.

Ironically enough, the pursuit of diversity in the “Conservative” Reformed Churches today is really nothing but the pursuit of wiping out the distinct ethos, history and culture of Christian White people descended from Europe. Reformed Churches don’t care about diversity. They care about extinguishing White people. Whether they know it or not they are fulfilling their role in our replacement.

I stand w/ Thomas Massie against Trump on the Budget Bill. Being fiscally responsible is always the right thing to do. Go Massie. Demonstrate you’re not a Trump Bot and support Thomas Massie on balancing the budget.

Clay Libolt suggests that the Penal Substitutionary Atonement makes God mean. This in spite of the fact that God’s grace, we are told, will reach to a number no man can count. One could only conclude that Penal Substitutionary Atonement makes God “mean” if one begins with the premise that God owes fallen man anything. After all, how can it possibly be considered mean to give to someone what they deserve?

It is my hope that people will be challenged to reconsider what are considered the givens of the current culture. Your biggest help to me dear reader will be to often remind me that God is Sovereign and that all that is, is because it pleases him.
