Betrayal as Effeminate Self-Preservation: Pharisees Then and Now

Leave a reply

By Davis Carlton

I was reading through the Gospels with my family as we approached Holy Week in order to teach about the very important things that Jesus said and did between Palm Sunday and Easter. One of the most misunderstood teachings of Jesus is His confrontation with the Pharisees and Herodians about paying tribute to Caesar, as recorded in all three synoptic Gospels (Matthew 22:15-22, Mark 12:12-17, Luke 20:19-26). The account is well-known to many Christians because of Jesus’ enigmatic response: “Render therefore unto Caesar the things which be Caesar’s, and unto God the things which be God’s.” read more

Some Kinist Musings on the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict, Version 20.0 or Whatever

By Colby Malsbury

It would be hilarious if it weren’t so painfully obvious and stilted.

Not even a week after national security adviser/amateur soothsayer Jake Sullivan cooed that the Middle East was at its quietest since 9/11, Israel engaged in the utterly thinkable and wrought yet another botched attempt to drive Amalek – whom you might be better acquainted with as ‘Palestine’ – into the sea. It’s a generational rite of passage at this point in history, emerging like clockwork every ten years like a Red Sox pennant race or a Rothschild-financed ‘grassroots protest movement’ that’s gonna topple the existing globalist regime for one and all times. read more

How The Left Will Capitalize on a Donald Trump Election in 2024

By Davis Carlton

Donald Trump’s recent federal indictment has only made him more favorable – nay, even beloved – among likely Republican voters. There is a very real possibility that Trump could defeat Joe Biden in a 2024 grudge match. I’d like to indulge in some political speculation about how things might possibly go down. I believe that the leftist establishment might be willing to concede the 2024 election to Donald Trump for strategic purposes. Before I make my case, I want to be clear that this is my speculation about what might happen. I make no hard and fast predictions about what absolutely will happen. read more

Five Ways In Which the Online Right is Amateurish

By Colby Malsbury

Ah, those lazy, hazy, crazy days of summer. You can thank Canada for the ‘hazy’ part. When a young man’s fancy turns to thoughts of….

….online clout.

And, really, why wouldn’t it? Isn’t there an exceedingly memeable culture war to be waged out there, and isn’t Captain Normie Conn, Web Warrior Extraordinaire all set to deploy? It’s not like he managed to land a job back in June, anyway. There is a plethora of fronts out there for him to open a salvo upon: The continuing incongruity on a meta scale of the entire Barbenheimer phenomenon, the championing of former gun control advocate Jason Aldean’s artificially intelligent anti-woke anthem ‘Try That in a Small Town’, the inevitable jeering against the said Aldean after his inevitable capitulation to the tender mercies of the woke mob, a flurry of interest in the sudden separation of globalist god Justin Trudeau from his stage prop Sophie and the Rite’s hypocritical bleating refrain of ‘let us forbear casting stones against our enemy during this difficult time of his’…..oh, the possibilities are endless. read more

Let’s Stop Pretending That Russell Moore is Christian

By Davis Carlton

Russell Moore’s atrocious but sadly all too predictable response to Uganda’s criminalizing of sodomy demands a response.

Uganda has recently taken steps to prohibit sodomy by punishing promoters of the same with jail and applying the death penalty for those who are guilty of “aggravated homosexuality.” This just doesn’t sit right with Christianity Today editor-in-chief Russell Moore, who is certain that this type of “authoritarianism” puts one on the “wrong side of Jesus.” Moore penned an op-ed published in “Christianity Astray” to voice his sore displeasure over Christians who would dare to voice their support for measures aimed at keeping people from their God-given right to pursue all manner of degenerate sexual gratification. If you think that I’m reading Moore uncharitably, then buckle up. It’s going to be a bumpy ride. read more

“Go Woke, Go Broke?” Nope. Here’s Why.

By Colby Malsbury

It was the Schlock Heard Round the World.

Professing themselves as competent to read the prevailing zeitgeist as an Egyptologist is to decipher hieroglyphics, the linguists at Anheuser-Busch decided it was time to pep up their most recognizable yet faltering legacy brand, Bud Light. And what better way to display relevancy than to dig through the sewer of YouTube and come across an especially egregious example of clickbait narcissism to use in an upcoming ad campaign? Behold – if you can stomach it – one Dylan Mulvaney, a repellent flaming cross-dresser who would have had to eke out a living haunting public washrooms at 4 in the morning in a better time, but who now does the whole transgenderism bit on a lark and rakes in filthy lucre by the score as a ‘social media influencer’. What better spokesthing could one hope to find for a low-grade but traditionally blue collar brew? Little wonder that the Saints have trouble getting up in the morning these days. read more

Mass Migration Won’t Save Us: A Response to Tim Keller

By Davis Carlton

Tim Keller has decided to formally endorse the Great Replacement as a means of bringing about “revival” in American Christianity. Keller is by no means alone. Recently Joel Berry of the Babylon Bee suggested that “mass immigration could save this country” and that we could prevent them from becoming “a permanent underclass voting bloc” by simply “assimilating them.” Apparently this was not intended as satire. Keller argues that Christians must acknowledge and even embrace the demographic shift that can only accurately be described as white genocide in order to grow the American Christian church and stem the tide of secularism. Keller believes that the emerging nonwhite population of America could embrace a version of Christianity that is concerned with advocating for “social justice” as a main priority. read more

Joe Carter of The Gospel Coalition Endorses “Non-Sexual” Gay Civil Unions

By Davis Carlton

The title is unfortunately not satire. Though even I am surprised at how quickly mainstream conservative evangelicalism has become conformed to the world. Joe Carter, or Joke Harder as he is affectionately known in our circles, begins by noting the recent endorsement of gay marriage by David French. Carter admits that French’s position has received “considerable backlash” and seeks to articulate a tenable alternative while addressing French’s concern, which is that he wants “gay couples to enjoy marriage-equivalent legal protections but without changing the legal definition of marriage.” read more

The Cost of True Faithfulness: Comments on the Persecution of Thomas Achord

By Davis Carlton

“And ye shall be hated of all men for my name’s sake” – Matthew 10:22

“Then said Jesus unto his disciples, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: and whosoever will lose his life for my sake shall find it.” – Matthew 16:24-25

“If the world hate you, ye know that it hated me before it hated you.” – John 15:18

I don’t know Thomas Achord personally but I wish that I did. I know of Thomas through social media, through his commentary with Stephen Wolfe on the Ars Politica podcast, and through his co-authorship with Darrell Dow of the masterpiece Who is My Neighbor? An Anthology of Natural Relations. I always find his posts and comments on Facebook to be wise, insightful, and articulate. Thomas is able to speak to controversial topics without rendering needless offense in a concerted effort to maintain peace. I have found Thomas to be a true “man’s man” who combines his considerable learning with practical knowledge that he is able to use as a provider and protector of his family. It’s without exaggeration that I can say that Thomas Achord provides an excellent example for other men to follow. I often feel challenged in a good way by Thomas’s posts to better myself. read more

Lamb’s Reign Jumps On the Anti-Christian Nationalism Bandwagon, And It’s Anything But Beautiful

Being Slaves in the Land of Egypt Was SO Unfair | Steven Greenberg | The Blogs

By Colby Malsbury

That which is old sure becomes new again in a flash, doesn’t it?

How long have we Kinists been arguing the merits of theonomic race-based nationhood on social media? Fifteen years, minimum? We blew up the message boards. We got the 30 day exiles on Facebook. We became nonentities via the tender mercies of the Twitter algorithm. And yet, ever since the days of Trump the response from Team Church has been to declare the science is settled and ignore us, hoping that we’ll go away and they can get back to holding coffee klatches at important conferences and discuss exclusive psalmody to death. read more
