    Doug, I really enjoy these blogs. You’ve made me a little smarter and a little more aware of our surroundings.
    But the Church is woke, spiritually broke and Biblically ignorant. Let me ask you a question: how many Jews were there waiting for Jesus when He came, knowing the scriptures that He was indeed the Messiah? A remnant. It will be the same this time when Jesus returns. Only a remnant will be waiting, in holiness and obedience, for His arrival. And many of us will be martyred beforehand.
    The Church isn’t being taught Revelation. They are being taught the seven steps to prosperity and having your best life now. If any Christian can fall for Joel Osteen and Benny Hinn and Bill Johnson, don’t you think they’re going to fall and follow and obey the Anti-Christ??
    Carry on. You make me smarter and more abiding in Christ.

    The Christendom (Christians dominionizing society on behalf of their King) of the early 1600s America has tragically devolved into what is predominantly four-walled, stain-glassed, pewtrifying Christianity. It's what Christ best depicted in Matthew 5:13 as salt that's lost its savor, good for nothing but to be trampled under the foot of man.
    This includes today's 2/3rds pronomians!
    What's a 2/3rd pronomian?
    "Now these are the (1)commandments, the (2)statutes, and (3)judgments, which Yahweh your God commanded to teach you...." (Deuteronomy 6:1, found manifold times throughout the Word)
    Every viable, dynamic law contains three integral components: commandments, statutes that explain the commandments, and judgments that enforce the commandment and statutes. Without anyone of these components, the law is crippled.
    Thus, a 2/3rds pronomian is anyone who rejects anyone of these three integral law components, usually the altogether righteous civil
    judgments, per Psalm 19:7-9. Without the civil sanctions, the Commandments and statutes are merely good suggestions, and thus whoever renders judgments in society holds dominion in society.
    That Yahweh intends for the judgments to be in the hands of His people is unmistakable:
    "Let … a twoedged sword [be] in their hand; to execute vengeance upon the heathen, and punishments upon the people; to bind their kings with chains, and their nobles with fetters of iron; to execute upon them the judgment written: this honour have all his saints. Praise ye YH. (Psalm 149:6-9)
    Most so-called pronomians abdicate one third of Yahweh’s law - the judgments - to the non-Christians. Thus a 2/3rds pronomian isn't pronomian at all, but merely another member of mere Christianity rather than Christendom, and is consequently part of the problem rather than part of the solution.

    Will Doug Wilson EVER stop misquoting The Bible? Jesus said to "Go and make disciples of all nations." Doug Wilson always says, "...disciple all nations." Not one single evangelist anywhere in scripture tried to disciple an actual nation - although they did preach the word of God to the leaders of nations, who were then of course free to convert and govern according to God's counsel. This is a central and critical distinction which Mr. Wilson needs to acknowledge, sooner rather than later, and actually which would have adjusted and corrected his message so it would have made tons more sense for the past 4 decades. The gospel has to compete on the open marketplace for individual disciples, and for preeminence among governing philosophies. We were not commanded to disciple nations but to preach the gospel to every creature and make disciples of all nations (meaning make individual disciples who have come out of all nations), and those nations that have leaders who turn to Christ or see the wisdom of Christian governance over other forms of governance are free of course to govern according to God's word and will and enjoy all the blessings and benefits of that. God is not a God of force, and God is not afraid to see his ways compete with all other ways on the open market of ideas and methods. May God move Doug Wilson to consider and see these things and perfect the message.

      Exactly how picky are you being? Here are the renderings of Matt 28: 19 in every translation provided by BibleHub:
      "make disciples of all nations": NIV, ESV, BSB, CSB, HCSB, GWT, NET, NHEB, WEB
      "make disciples of all the nations": NLT, NKJV, NASB, AB, ASV, ERV, WNT
      "teach all nations": KJV
      "disciple all the nations": BLB, ABPE, LSV, YLT
      "Go to the people of all nations and make them my disciples": CEV
      "teach ye all nations": DRB
      "Go, then, to all peoples everywhere and make them my disciples": GNT
      "disciple people in all nations": ISV
      Note especially the KJV and the more literal translations, which look in line with Wilson's version:
      "teach all nations": KJV
      "disciple all the nations": BLB, ABPE, LSV, YLT
      "teach ye all nations": DRB
      The KJV and DRB use a synonym for disciple: "teach", but otherwise is the same as Doug's version (with DRB using the archaic "ye".
      The BLB, ABPE, LSV, and YLT use the definite article, but otherwise are identical to Wilson's version.
      I though maybe you were a KJO type who would nitpick little things like that but you didn't even offer the KJV rendering, so I wonder if you desire to malign Wilson will force you to reject the evidence that Wilson's translation is in line with several available translation, or at minimum it is an obvious falsehood that every Bible translates it like the NIV and similar.
