No. This just means you’re a pastor, not a statesman. Does it follow that:
“If you view murderers as criminals to be put to death rather than a mission field you be won, you’ve given up a biblical worldview for a pragmatic worldly one”?
No. False dilemma. Poor theology.

Reducing America’s political history and origin to “Enlightenment liberalism” and then summarily rejecting it is

First, P2 is false in both A and B. Politics is not identical to war. War and politics are very different. Politics often employs or reverts
A)
1. In war, it’s ok to lie to enemies
2. Politics is war
3. Therefore it’s ok to lie to political enemies
B)
1. In war, it’s ok to kill to enemies
2. Politics is war

Staggering.

At what point are we just throwing out God's commands?

Don’t answer this poll. Neil is data mining in order to “prove” there’s a far right woke element among the right. An X poll will be used as “scientific” proof.
