The Immanence of Biblical Nationalism, Part II – the Systematic Approach

By Bret McAtee

Read Part I here.

In the previous entry we took a look at the presence of nations in the Scripture. Methodologically speaking, we used a biblical-theological approach to consider the presence of nations in God’s plan as revealed in Scripture. In using a Biblical-theological approach we traced the theme of nations in the Scripture starting in Genesis and we allowed the Biblical text to reveal the growth of the theme of nations from an acorn in Genesis 10 to the full grown oak in Revelation 21 and 22. As a method, Biblical theology takes a theme and traces its progress and growth from seed form to full grown stratus. The Biblical-theological method can be used for any number of subjects from tracing the scarlet thread of redemption through the Scripture starting with Genesis 3:15 to tracing the theme of covenant or kingdom or the church or the tabernacle. When I think of this methodology I think of time-lapse photography. Time-lapse photography can take a large sequence of time and condense it so we can see the highlights of that time, editing out everything except the theme that the photographer is focusing on. read more

Lamenting the Other: David Bahnsen’s Disgusting Elegy to Kobe Bryant

By Colby Malsbury

Did you ever know that you’re my hero
And everything I would like to be?
I can fly higher than an eagle
For you are the wind beneath my wings

So went the refrain to Bette Midler’s maudlin anthem, which nonetheless resonated with Baby Boomers to such an extent that it has become a popular hymn at their funerals thirty-some years after the song’s release. Boomer influence has been such as to allow no other outpouring of emotion than the turning on of waterworks and the fraudulent enthusiasm of excessive flattery whenever a death occurs, as I made mention of in a previous article. This is especially true when one mourns the death of a celebrity. And when the celebrity happens to be an uber A-lister like recently deceased basketball Baal Kobe Bryant, well, you might as well shut everything down and declare multiple months to follow to be official periods of mourning. The unceasing bewailing of images that once flickered on your tee vee screen has been decreed to be therapeutic, doncha know. read more

A Refutation of a Terrible Article on Why Biblical Arguments Against Borders Are Terrible

By Colby Malsbury

What’s Joel McDurmon been up to ever since leaving the equivalent of an unsavory piece of solid organic material floating in the swimming pool of American Vision? Well, as he’s a man on a mission, just like his erstwhile mentors the Blues Brothers, he had to find an alternate venue from which to make mock at his God and his forebears, so he concocted the Lamb’s Reign website, an aesthetically appealing forum (dig that panoramic mountain vid on the home page!), but one as devoid of Christian truth as any Communist front church organization of the 1930s. The leopard has not changed his spots one iota. Let’s hope the site is at least monetized, so McDurr can afford to buy comfy beanbag chairs to sulk in when the rest of us fail to appreciate his impetuous cutting edge genius. read more

The Trauma of the Truth: How Average People Respond to Nationalism For Whites

By Davis Carlton

I occasionally watch clips from Catholic Answers Live on YouTube because I find some of the conversations on theological topics to be interesting. My primary interest is typically on Catholic justifications for the authority of the Roman Magisterium (which I find to be weak but nevertheless still interesting). I ran across a particular episode of Catholic Answers in which the first question fielded in the second hour was on the topic of white nationalism. The relevant clip spans from 1:02:59 to 1:17:06. The show is hosted by Cy Kellett who typically fields questions that have cleared a call screener and turns them over to a guest apologist who is either a layman or a priest. read more

It Buttereth No Parsnips: The Myth of the Black Conservative

By Ehud Would

“What do you call a Black person at a Republican rally? The keynote speaker.”
~Everybody’s Grandfather

A popular trope of late among Fox News devotees and the Alt Lite is a mass #walkaway phenomenon among Blacks.

Granted, Trump has resonated with some Blacks. Whereas Blacks generally poll 95-98% Democrat (at most 5% Republican), the latest figures show them trending a whopping 30% for Trump.

Okay, that still amounts to a landslide for whatever Dem homunculus runs against him, but the Shapiros assure us it’s the passion of this groundswell that counts. read more

Keep a Candle in the Window: An Answer to an OPC Minister Concerning Claims from His Son’s Teacher

By Ehud Would

I recently received a private communique from an OPC minister grappling with the Marxist bent of his son’s “Christian school”. Yes, you read that right. Christian schools are now but another mouthpiece for Marxist zeitgeist. Incredible as that is.

Since my response reiterates the content of the pastor’s letter, I have here omitted the original in favor of my reply.

“I’m sorry to hear [your son] has this stuff coming his way. But I’m glad you’re not just rolling over to the secular narrative.

Ever Heard Of the Tulsa Race Massacre? No? Well, You’re About To. Constantly.

By Colby Malsbury

Hey, everybody! Welcome to a brand-new decade!

What’s on tap for the Roaring Twenties 2.0? Given the latest hysterical historical revisionism making its way to the top of the Outrage Charts, more of the same manufactured SJW angst that made the previous ten years such a delight to endure. Weren’t we supposed to be having Disney cruises to Mars by now?

And just as the perceived entry of hundred year old books, songs, and movies into the public domain often elicits a renewed interest in their contents (though the actual time frame is ninety-five years), so too do the centenaries of past ‘injustices’ elicit a renewed outburst of indignation from professional meddlesome Care Bears. The only thing easier than pouring forth one’s heart towards ethnic strangers afar off is to do so towards ethnic strangers afar off and dead long before one’s grandparents were born. In that spirit, the closing months of 2019 saw the seedbed being prepared for a crop of poisonous forget-me-nots commemorating the Tulsa Race Massacre of May-June 1921. Interestingly enough, the event was better known as the Tulsa Race Riots for decades, but as blacks historically possess the unsavory proclivity towards anarchy during tense periods the moniker was duly altered to its current exploitative form. Doubtless the new name is also meant to covey impressions of that old paean to white inhumanity The Texas Chainsaw Massacre – especially given how Oklahoma is indistinguishable from Texas to your average Left Coaster. When the game is semantics, the play is always based on cutthroat poker rather than Go Fish. read more

Pastor Chuck Swindoll’s Gay Compromise

On Tuesday, I had the displeasure of attending the Christmas Eve service at Pastor Chuck Swindoll’s gigantic Stonebriar Community Church in Frisco, Texas, an extremely affluent northern suburb of Dallas.  It’s within easy driving distance, and they have an incredible pipe organ, choir, and instrumentalists, so I thought it would be an evening of beautiful music for my family.  Unfortunately, the string quartet felt a little threadbare in such a massive space, and the choir was on vacation, for which the passionless voices of over 3000 mumbling yuppies was no substitute. read more

Christmas in the Twilight Zone

By Ehud Would

One of the most famous Twilight Zone episodes is titled It’s a Good Life (hereafter IAGL). Though the television version isn’t available for free in any significant online platform, the radio adaptation is.

I’m sure others have noticed what I have in this story, but to my knowledge, this may be the first such assessment to reach publication. The fact is it’s an analogy of Christ’s advent and dominion as seen through heathen eyes. Yes, it’s a Christmas story, albeit inverted. read more

Scapegoating Your Ancestors: A Response to Reed DePace

By Davis Carlton

The Gospel Coalition continues its agenda of blaming all of America’s problems, past and present, on the ubiquitous evils of white people. Ron Burns has posted an article authored by Presbyterian pastor Reed DePace on his congregation’s “repentance” for their evil racist past. Interestingly, DePace considers himself “Hispanic American,” so when he mentions the sins of “our forefathers” he’s really talking about your white forefathers. DePace pastors Historic First Presbyterian Church, founded in downtown Montgomery, Alabama in 1824 and now affiliated with the PCA. DePace describes the perennial success of the church which at its apogee in the 1920s reached a membership of 2,000 and maintained a membership of 1,100 as late as 1961. After this point the church experienced a precipitous decline and today only boasts about 50 active members. This naturally caused DePace and the leadership to inquire as to what has been going wrong. Why has God seemingly cursed their ministry efforts? read more
