Hot take: High Church Protestants need to stop pretending it's 1534 and start realizing the Puritan influence on Christianity is far more destructive than Roman Catholicism. Especially if you live in the US where RC is basically Anglicanism with a Pope.

Infiltrate the GOP. Every level. Full spectrum integration into the party. There is no alternative party. Become the party.

Yesterday evening, the Nathanael Greene Society was notified of our disaffiliation from the Old Glory Club. While this came as a surprise, it ultimately has no bearing on the direction or mission of the Society. The Nathanael Greene Society remains committed to unifying Christian brothers in the state of North Carolina and furthering our goals and mission. We wish the chapters of the Old Glory Club the best. Therefore, whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God. 1 Corinthians 10:31 Esse Quam Videri

LA DOMADA QUE LE ACABA DE PEGAR FLAVIO A LULA LULA: "Ya que eres amigo de Milei ¿Continúas diciendo que tu modelo es el modelo de Milei? FLAVIO: "Y vos sos amigo de Ortega, dictador de Nicaragua. Sos amigo de Maduro que está preso. Esos son tus amigos. Ah, y mandaste a tu vicepresidente a visitar al dictador de Irán. Mirá a tus amigos."

The terrible leadership of the Bourbon family are the reason France is in this hole

I write about the Masoretic Text at Reformed Masora. I don't think the MT was written by the rabbis (though COPIES were). So we don't depend upon Rabbinic Judaism for our Bible. I take the classic view of John Owen etc that the Hebrew OT belonged to, and was preserved by, the church. Many of the most ardent Christian Hebraists of the Reformation also wrote against Judaic interpretations. Look at Jerome: mostly wherever he learned Hebrew or Aramaic it was from a Christian, not from a rabbi. See letter 81, 125, preface to Eusebius' Chronicle, Prologue to Daniel for primary source attestation. If you look closely at the Rabbinic approach to the Hebrew text, it's utterly opposite to the Reformers. The Reformed either believed the vowel points were inspired, or held mostly to the readings of those who held to the inspired vowel point view anyway. Judaism by contrast says you can change the vowel points, and even the consonants, according to a complex Kabbalistic system, resulting in a malleable text. The Reformers didn't rely on the rabbis for their Hebrew and even corrected them confidently. I think issues have become conflated so now the Masoretic Text is seen as a product of Rabbinic Judaism on both major sides of the debate. As for particular texts I've done a lot of case studies and would be happy to share them in good faith dialogue. DMs always open.

We traded it all for another war in the middle east.

The most likely outcome in Canada is: - Alberta Independence Fails - Quebec Separation Fails - Liberals continue winning elections. Carney leads for 10+ years - Canada joins The European Union - Immigration Brings our country to 50 million+ People, 60, 70, etc. - Canada becomes country with no ethnic majority. Christmas is just as well known as Ramadan or Diwali - Greater possibility for ethnic/religious tension as groups compete politically/socially for their place in Canada - Economic Growth remains unexceptional as most talented people/immigrants choose USA for lower tax rates, better healthcare, etc. I genuinely don't think this is being pessimistic or overly negative. Do you? This is just where the country is at. This is what the majority of Canadians vote for.
