- On one level, the protests at Columbia should have been the easiest thing in the world to fix. All you needed was about 14 fire trucks and 28 fire hoses, all going full blast. The problem almost solves itself.
But on another level, nothing can really be done. No amount of fire trucks, or riot police, or speeches by the Speaker of the House, or isolated expulsions, or stern letters to the Times, can address the actual problem, the problem we actually have. The actual problem is that the goddess of secularism has despaired of her project, and she has gone off to have her nails done somewhere. Somewhere else, anywhere else. The Enlightenment project, once so full of hope and promise, is now a sodden mess, like Voltaire’s birthday cake left out in the rain.
The problem is a theological crisis, one created by the failure and collapse of the gods of the secular public square. This thing isn’t working anymore. The prayers are still said, the litanies are offered, the sacrifices are made, the smoke ascends, and yet the gods remain silent. They remain silent, of necessity, truth be told, because they aren’t there and never were. That was always the weak point in this particular theology.
But it used to be that lots of people believed that they were there, and that was good enough . . . for a while. For a time.

Those protests are actually peaceful. Give credit where it's due.
You don't hose down peaceful protests.
The hypocrisy is repulsive.
“Scratching their watches and winding their rear ends”. Classic Wilson. Beautiful.

I about spit my drink on my keyboard
Thank you so much for your plain-speaking encouragement to believers. Truth is always encouraging even when it is hard, and brings sadness.
😂😂😂 I love it when you roast us! We need more roasting until we’re well done! 😂😂😂 I’m afraid if we don’t get roasted now we’re gonna be roasted later… 😅😅😅
A “love crime” in this day could be praying outside an abortion clinic I guess?
Or speaking up at school board meetings. Maybe also meeting for church while people cower in fear of a cold. Or telling the truth to people who envy the opposite sex to the point of claiming it as their own identity.
(9:56) _Why do they assume that a wicked people can't sin politically_
-Doug Wilson
Remember, secular white Americans can be classified a wicked people, but jews must be recognized as High Performance.
Thank you, sir. Wonderful episode. Listening to you speak is like watching Bob Ross paint.
The Presbyterian prophet has spoken
Intro is spot on 🙌🏽
Thank you, Mr. Doug, this is the best thing I’ve watched all month!
Yes, because the apostles boldly preached to the Roman Senate that they must pass legislation officially declaring Caesar was not a god.
The fact that the American church will not speak to the issues of today means that the church will not truly confess Christ as King.
It's time to be faithful.
Excellent!
That was awesome, and it ain't even November yet!
My thoughts exactly
Fastidious exegesis? I like that terminology. Too many Christians are more concerned with the semantic domain range of Greek words than in calling out sinners to repent.
I like it as well. The kind of concern you mention only leads to changing the Word into a ball of theological playdough, which, if it has any truth to it, is ony by accident.
Excellent comment!
There is a tendency, even in reasonable exegetical preaching, to sterilize the message with overly-technical assessments of the texts without really getting to the fundamental points of the texts with the intent of having it meaningfully convict and/or impact the hearer. It tries to stimulate by filling the time with sounding smart, rather than drawing the hearer to repentance and faith, or see how great God is. The lesson/sermon is trivialized to an academic exercise. This avoids confrontation, but it also evades the life changing power of God's Word. It's a guarded way to appear to do something without doing what's supposed to be done (reprove, rebuke, and exhort).
I'm blown away. I just saw a man with a face speaking in my voice. And in the power of the Holy Ghost, no less. I've never seen anything like it in a public setting. How did this slip by the gatekeepers?
But here's my problem: it's too late for corporate repentance. America (along with the world) has chosen hell, but we as individuals can still choose life. Jesus is who he says he is, and will sort us out in the end. In the meantime, evil will have it's day as foreshadowed in the prophetic narrative, until Christ himself destroys it by the splendor of his coming.

God Doug’s prose is annoying 🙄🥱

I think he was a submariner.

I love the part about John the Baptist!
I hope you are right, and that if we repent as a nation I know God will have mercy.
But i don't know if God has not already sent the strong delusion he promised 😢
Im not so hopeful for this world as you Sir
God bless ❤
You rock Doug! Thank you so much! It's great to laugh at ourself and then repent!
I believe it’s “a travesty of a mockery of a sham of a mockery of a travesty of two mockeries of a sham.”
😂
Amen
Excellent Pastor Doug
Who brought the dressing???

APPLICATION of the Gospel. Amen! There can be no other way. Thank you for this.
Wow! Very enlightened analysis!
You hurt me with "scratching their watches and winding their behinds"
I know, I know, lol. But it perfectly encapsulates what must be their attitude: How long before this is over and we can return to the same old same old.
The very rocks will cry out
Wow! Powerfully said!
Our political system is a representative one... A cursory glance around should make that obvious.
And don't forget the cowardice. Yes!!!

Awesome!
Why can't we just get some fire trucks over there with hoses? It might be because there was no parking due to the secretly funded bus service running the protestors around. There goes that darn left again. I'm sure those buses - on call all day - are pretty cheap. When I was an engineer those when for about $15K a day, and today probably twice that. I'm sure it's just those college professors looking down from their offices all pitching in for that. Oh, and the off duty police officers. Those are cheap too. With food service and sanitation, I would have asked my management for $100K a day for project like that. Should be over a million total by now. And darn the luck, those conservatives over react again and pass legislation against the 1st amendment to counter the spontaneous, bake-sale funded million dollar protest.
When your wares came from the seas,
you satisfied many peoples;
with your abundant wealth and merchandise
you enriched the kings of the earth.
Now you are wrecked by the seas,
in the depths of the waters;
your merchandise and all your crew in your midst
have sunk with you.
All the inhabitants of the coastlands
are appalled at you,
and the hair of their kings bristles with horror;
their faces are convulsed.
You are the salt of the earth. But if the salt loses its saltiness, how can it be made salty again? It is no longer good for anything, except to be thrown out and trampled underfoot.
Hey!

@@discobunny4eva759 I am so glad that the body of Christ ca be of one accord. 🤣
Completely agree with him
your right and i cant seem to overcome the fear. i am sorry.
Always remember that God is sovereign and Christ is King. If you are in him, you are secure, no matter what.
The protestors may go too far snd thrre is a few bad apples, but what about the core issue theyer actually protesting though? I'm talking about 35,000 dead civilians, many are children.
Sad that you only get 4 likes for asking a very important question. Why are college students not allowed to protest the actions of a FOREIGN country? Hmm...
If we are salt and light we will affect the entire culture including government and the secular laws. I just don't see in the new testament any instruction toward overtaking the Roman government from within, though it is clear that we are part of a kingdom that is not if this world. a better argument directly from the text would help, I haven't seen a compelling one yet, there is precious little about secular government in the NT.
What is God's? :)
Honestly, I don't think leadership or courage coupled with moral clarity or anything for that matter could have changed what technology was always going to do: corrupt/change incentives and worldviews.
The grander we became with our devices and knowledge and "freedoms", the less likely we were going to look to a 2,000y old book for wisdom (collectively).
We were always going to arrive at this place.
Well, the incentives and worldviews of the people in Judea 2000 years ago were pretty corrupt without the tech. Just listen to Jesus verbally flay them alive in the gospels. Of course, their were still some who were godly people. But even earlier when God brought Israel into Canaan after 40 years in the wilderness, the people in that area were still rejecting God and scrificing children in idol ovens when they knew full well their was a living God who had wrought destruction in Egypt.
I think there's more than one conversation going on here, pretty much at ALL times, along with infrequent equivocation.
MUCH of the time, when DW is talking about "secularism" what I'm actually hearing is LIMITED GOVERNMENT. What Moscow calls secular, I call LIMITED. DW gets away with calling it "secular" because it is NOT functioning as a church. But in my view, it is limited specifically because it is NOT the Church. This round-and-round is the kind of conversation you have with people who don't have separate categories for the Church and the State.
This is the point where the "Christ or Chaos" script is ran. But the script is exactly the same the Progressives are running, which as far as government goes, is designed to UN-limit it. Both seek MORE POWER for the State. These are, to put it simply, two forms of Statism in conflict.
Now you can put "jesus" all over either one of them and the result is the same: a BIGGER, more POWERFUL, central government that claims divine authority to disregard the God-given rights of its citizens, should it see fit to do so. It's road back to Rome AT BEST. This game has been played a thousand times throughout history, with the arguments rarely deviating from what we hear from Moscow on a regular basis.
The fact is, a nation of believers could be ruled by oligarchy, monarchy, and even dictatorship and find blessing and function successfully, more or less within the limitations of any number of political frameworks, and would certainly thrive as a culture. I would say that even applies to a constitutional republic such as our own.....in fact, I would argue that such a nation would END UP as a constitutional republic or something close to it, since Christianity has proper categories for Church and state, and places high value on a limited government that results in a free society of free citizens free to live their lives under the unmitigated authority of God in heaven, without a pope, priest, tax collector or prefect stepping in to deceive, mislead, molest, hinder, threaten, and enslave.
Moscow seems to have forgotten the warning against kings (1 Sam. 8). Almost everyone here is going to vote the same, take the same stand for righteousness and oppose the same wickedness. For years, my question has been, WHAT EXACTLY does Moscow want from ME? As best I can tell, they want me to become a postmil theonomist. To do that, you have to argue from the book, not say 1000 things I already agree with, and then scold me for not believing them the "right way" because I am premil or amil.
As strongly as I present my disagreements, this does not mean I have ill-will toward Moscow as a community or DW as a person. Nevertheless, this is so much like watching fascists, communists and socialists fight over how to make slaves of nations. People who love freedom don't want a bigger, stronger, state. They want a bigger, stronger CHURCH in a nation that tell the difference between who should be writing parking tickets and who should be talking to my kid about sex and theology.
Sooooo, basically, we don't get a properly functioning government no matter who is running the place or what ideology prevails, until Christ returns and the government is fully upon His shoulders. Yep, I agree.
So if I understand the thesis here correctly (apart from the critique of evangelicals in general), it's that separation of church and state is a bad thing. Am I off base here?
You're not off base
We want church and state to remain separate in their spheres of influence, roles, and authority. But we do want the state and its members to submit to God's laws, to be informed by the Bible and the church.
Just one of those wonderfully well spoken knowledgeable faithful preachers that's right Doug Wilson "sorry Doug"
But I don't even have to read the caption or the thumbnail or whatever it is we're calling it these days I don't know if it changed its identity
I just double tap your videos and start listening

I wish you would speak to how Christian should evaluate America's support for Israel. Tucker's interview with the Palestinian priest is shocking. As Reformed believer, I question the Dispensationists / USA foreign policy blind support for the Israel's genocide in Gaza. Somehow, this Presbyterian has an oddly growing kinship with those beatnik college anti-war protesters, less their Jew-hating haters.
Already did
Doug has High Perfoemance relatives. He has been clear that he intends to side with them as a result.
Remember, it is a sin to evaluate HPP behavior on a group level, but you are free to blame all of the world's problems on the fecklessness of Christians that Doug disagrees with.
Doug addresses your question in his book “American Milk and Honey.”
@gunitrunning6352 "And, ye, shouldest thou desirest to know my true thoughts on these matters in depth, return Phoebe with 3 measures of grain and a bolt of purple cloth"
-Romans 16:28
"USA foreign policy blind support for the Israel's genocide in Gaza. "
I stopped reading, right there. There is no "genocide in Gaza." Good grief.
"And that which, in this degenerate state of things, doth principally exercise the minds of considerate men is, whether there ought to be an immediate endeavour to reduce as many as will or can comply therewith unto the original standard in profession, obedience, and worship, or whether the present posture of things be not so far to be complied withal as to preserve therein the small remainders of religion among the community of Christians, who are not capable of such a reduction. The difference that is in the judgments of men herein is the ground of all those lesser controversies and opinions, which will be composed and have an end put unto them when God shall graciously afford unto us all a fresh revival of evangelical faith, love, and holiness, and, I fear, not before."

Those that love god hate what he hates 1 Thessalonians 2------For you, brothers and sisters, became imitators of God’s churches in Judea, which are in Christ Jesus: You suffered from your own people the same things those churches suffered from the Jews 15 who killed the Lord Jesus and the prophets and also drove us out. They displease God and are hostile to everyone 16 in their effort to keep us from speaking to the Gentiles so that they may be saved. In this way they always heap up their sins to the limit. The wrath of God has come upon them at last.
Oy vey
Doug is losing power and flailing. Love to see it, don’t we folks?
Controlled opposition?
@SK-mz4cq well, he is promoted and monetized on RUclips, and seen on major television stations, and he does defend his favorite anti-Christs to the hilt, so you may be right.
Or, he may just be a boomer.
yeah but, what if it's not stupidity?
Out the gate!😂…guod man💋⚔️🕊
Correct
Oy. It’s not a “theology.”
Go to Gaza City and spend some time with our Christian Brothers and Sisters in Christ, if you want to understand what it means to be threatened. Why were two unarmed Christian women shot by Israeli snipers while going to the toilet at their church in Gaza? Why were Christians killed while they were taking shelter at their 800-year-old church in Gaza City, when an IDF bomb hit beside their church? How many of their homes have been turned to rubble? How would you feel if armed drones were constantly flying overhead, while your food supply has been cut off? Why was Palestinian-American journalist Shireen Abu-Akieh shot by the IDF before October 7th? Why have these people been ignored by most Christians in the U.S. If the protests at Columbia are "antisemitic", why are there Jewish students involved in the protests trying to stop the war in Gaza? Why are many of those trying to stop the war in Gaza Jewish adults? Are the people living in Gaza "semites"? (Read Matt. 25:31-46, and Hebrews 13:20.)
The Christian (Catholic) population of Gaza has greatly diminished since Israel lost authority over the region.
"if you have criticisms of a ethnocentric group that hates christ you are simply stupid." oh, i thought we were against racism and for Christ, like that was our whole thing??
LOL! What on earth are you on about?
@@Yesica1993 jews hate Christ. Jews have a long recorded history of racism towards gentiles (everyone else)
Also, Tucker has one of the best laughs, ever. So there.
The enlightenment was the problem. And so are you. Let the people protest, acting like it matters gives them self-importance.
He is a post-milliniel and teaches the Schofield/Darby doctrine. He is part of the problem he is discussing.
Darby/ Scholfield were premills
How is he problematic?
@@christtoday9136
I think he was talking about the "still God's chosen people" doctrine.
@@timmartin4216 Thanks. Sometimes it is hard to follow when people are not explicit in their comments. God has not finished with Israel yet. I believe that is biblical. John Owen - 1600s - was post mill and believed in the restoration of Israel long before Darby/ Schofield turned up with pre mill dispensationalism.
@@christtoday9136 take a look at my analysis -- the Gary DeMar Controversy video, second half.
My point is Doug Wilson's preterism is incoherent with his futurist version of Zionism.
It's a theological self-contradiction. The old covenant "heavens and earth" passed away already according to Wilson. But then he goes and denies what he teaches.
Hope that helps.
Yes. We have taken that comment from Thomas Jefferson in a private letter too literally and too seriously: Separation of church and state.
Darn, thought I was going to be first for once. 😊
💋⚔️🗣️🇺🇸🎯…& won the race🕊
Woo hoo! First view!
Why do we need to "Solve" a nonviolent sit-in protest against a &enocide? 4:33 What isn't going to survive all this is 30,000 Gazans. But you don't care about that because those women and children read the wrong book. And the tribe you worship can do no wrong.
Boooo
People used to say 'there is no way we would treat Jews like Hitler did' ..well.......
All you needed was no Internet, they all would go home. Couldn't survive without their machines.
You should just start making the caption more truth from Doug Wilson
Bravo Monster mystro exorcist triumphant over evil évolution. Catholic conversion for you and yours God bless and protect you+++
Cathollicism is demonstrably a counterfeit Chrisitanity and absolutely wicked. She is drunk with the blood of the saints as well. I pray God gives you a proper biblical conversion to you and yours. God bless you.
If you want them to quit go up and read the Quran to them. A couple pages of An nisa should do it.
Why are so many Muslim students in top American universities. This so called talent import needs to end. It is evident what they bring to Western universities.
Lol now do jews
Most of the people arrested I’ve seen appear to be of European stock.
Do your ad hominems mean you have no good arguments? 60's protesters were also questioned about their patriotism, intelligence, outside influencers, etc. An illegal war in SE Asia was irrelevant.
Absolutely right! Student protestors were right to protest the Vietnam war, right to protest apartheid in South Africa, and right to protest against the atrocities committed against the Palestinians.
Algorithm boosting comment
Doug I have to say I am disappointed somewhat in your take on what is happening on campus in this segment. I agree ultimately on the conclusions and remedy. American need repentance and faith towards Jesus Christ. Secularism has failed and that American idol along with some others must be torn down and crushed.
Where I disagree is what I am seeing on campus. I don't accept the media's spin and take on the majority of these students. I don't accept there definition and terms of the argument. These protesters say they are not anti-Semitic nor do they hate Jews. Many of them are Jews. But that they are against the senseless killing of 35,000 innocent inhabitants mostly women and children in Gaza and how inhabitants are treated on the West Bank.
They are not pro Hamas but pro Palestinian and against their subjugation. The media and our government paints them only as pro Hamas and anti-Semitic etc. Only because the dare call into question what Israel is doing.
It's so lopsided that to criticize the state of Israel makes one anti-Semitic as in to criticize Biden's actions and policies make you un-American. Sure there are plants in the protest as there were on Jan 6th " we must go into the capital". The media only report on those agitators to support their narrative. Water cannons or Kent State violence is not a solution to free speech. No one has been attacked nor has violence been call for from the core of these Palestinian supporters. Violence has only been seen only from overzealous law enforcers.
"But that they are against the senseless killing of 35,000 innocent inhabitants mostly women and children in Gaza and how inhabitants are treated on the West Bank. "
Provide the evidence.
Do you understand that both individuals and countries have a RIGHT to defend themselves against unprovoked attacks? Do you understand what JIHAD is? Have you bothered to educate yourself about Islam? Have you read the Quran or any other Islamic "holy" texts?
Do you understand that Israel was attacked FIRST?
Do you understand any of that? Or do you just not give a rat's tail?
Doug shows his bloodthirsty teeth on this topic every time.
Looks like my comment was deleted.

I was so disappointed to see you sharing whiskey while teaching God's principles. This is so perplexing to me, why that was necessary. How did it glorify God and edify His church? I kept the video because I didn't think it was legitimate. But, it has separated many from you. If that was NOT whiskey, I apologize but friends of mine recognized the bottle.
