A Reminder from History: Populists who became dictators uniformly sought to START wars and GROW the government and its control over the populace, not END wars and SHRINK the government and its control.

@DougStephensIV @presbycast They even made it to the daily wire 😳

When ordinary members of a denomination complain about something, the wheels of justice grind slowly, but when @megbasham mentions it...

I am glad to hear that the PCA has reversed course affirming the Biblical and Confessional points I hoped they would affirm in my post on the subject.

@DougStephensIV Also, they've repented, affirming the points I made in my post. So...

@seamuscmacaoidh Congratulations, brother!

Oh my word, quite the judgey judgerson aren't you? My friend I've been swimming against the stream for my entire life and I was saved at 23 by the real Jesus, the Son of God, and Second Person of the Triune Godhead, not the socialist agitator Jesus I was presented by liberal and Catholic churches again and again. Anyway, I'm tired of this. Just another man building a human counterfeit kingdom by redistributing the things that other men have labored for.

Well, it's difficult to apply as a child if your parents aren't citizens, then I went back to the UK for university (St. Andrews in Scotland) and then later on after I was saved, I wondered if the Lord had brought me to the USA so that I might hear the Gospel, be converted and go back to my homeland that has a woefully low number of Christians to preach. Also, it costs quite a bit to apply. Eventually, as an adult, I realized I loved the USA and that I was estranged from the reigning worldviews of my homeland. I wasn't English at heart, I was American. So I started my application about a year ago, but USCIS has been slower than usual in getting my oath ceremony lined up. Maybe they've been reading my social media. 😆

Ok, taking a parable about the inclusion of Gentiles in the Covenant via faith in the Messiah and making it about illegal immigration to explain why illegals who walk in illegally should get the same as the people who have been following the rules. Check. Ok, so I'm wondering, are you UCC, RCA, or what?

@seamuscmacaoidh Since 1975

Of the around 800,000 who have entered the United States illegally in the last 4 years, I have no idea. But given that stuff like this is happening in all the major cities they've gone to, it's several thousand at least. At what percentage of criminality does it become a problem?

The problem is not the people pointing out the problem, and until people grasp that essential fact, the actual problems will never be dealt with.

@BaldlyObserving Always. Apparently, I'm doing everything all wrong. I didn't even immigrate correctly.

David, I'm a sinner saved by grace alone through faith alone in Christ alone. I believe that Jesus is the way, the truth and the life, and that NO ONE comes to the Father but by Him. I believe the Bible to be the inerrant and inspired Word of God and infallible in all it teaches. From your profile, I seriously doubt you can say the same. It sounds like you're mistaking Marxism for Christianity. And no, for the last 4 years it has NOT been my choice to support Venezuelan gang members, the Biden administration took the money my family paid in taxes (per Romans 13) and instead of allowing me to use it for the benefit of my family and my church, they used it to import thousands of them into the USA and then support them in order that they could stay here. My wife and I spent 2024 struggling to make ends meet and support children and elderly parents because of the awful economy the last administration created, all of which was exacerbated by the influx of up to 20 million illegal aliens who cost US Taxpayers $150 billion annually. And yet, apparently, that's not enough. I am all for LEGAL immigration, but the idea that someone earning a living and saving and eventually buying a house is exactly the same as someone breaking into someone else's house and squatting there while demanding the homeowners pay for their food and other necessities simply isn't true.
