“the homosexual abuse scandal“
This seems to go almost completely unnoticed. It wasn’t a paedophilia scandal, at least not in the main.

Except that sodomy and pederasty are two peas on a pod, historically. They still are today, although no one utters, or even allows himself to think, that truth.

Audio of Warhorn Media post, “Sheep May Safely Graze (2)” Pornography may not be the worst of the evils the internet has rained down on us. Lies are the internet’s stock-in-trade and our sheep feed on them constantly. Warhorn Blog Posts | Sheep may safely graze (2)
Gotta famous friend who’s famously post-mil. Tried to push me there (unsuccessfully, I might add). Gave me his book. Always thought it’s more a function of his personality (optimism/triumphalism) than exegesis.
Ever wonder if Edwards died a post millennialist?
Me too.

Once you know this, you can’t avoid seeing it. Remember how monkey pox was everywhere in the news, right up until the point that (certain) toddlers and dogs started contracting it?

Indeed - what do pastors know about the input (good, bad, indifferent) their flocks are getting off the Internet?

Remember Dad offhandedly saying one day in kitchen, “College Church will never invite you to preach.” Brothers David, Nathan, and I were finishing Gordon-Conwell at the time. Another elder’s son went to Dallas Theological Seminary and was invited to preach several times. Asked Dad why and he responded, “You’re not premil.” Nor was Dad.
I’ve thought recently that eschatology seems to be becoming more dogmatic and worth drawing lines over for many people. Interesting to see it’s not new.

Ironically many are former dispensationalists who are now postmil but have carried over a lot of the same tendencies.

I think the preterist hermeneutic that often accompanies postmillennialism has similarities to the Dispensational hermeneutic. Both are very historical/event-driven approaches rather than covenantal/redemptive.

If you haven’t read “Abortion and the Church,” do it. If you don’t like to read, listen to it. There’s a reason no one’s mentioning this book and it’s not b/c it’s boring. Abortion and the Church | Audio 1: Abortion and the Church (Preface)

I grew up as a Pentecostal, where the interest in the End Times (or as I later called it, the Last Daze), was endemic, to the point of being excessive - we were no different, in that respect, to most Baptists and most Fundamentalists. E.g. I can recall being taken to task on one occasion by an older woman from an Open Brethren background because I obviously didn’t believe in the “Imminent Return of Christ”.
Eventually I got to the point of thinking that where Jesus’ return is concerned, I am a near-complete agnostic. I believe what it says in the Creed, that “He will return in glory to judge the living and the dead and His Kingdom will have no end”. Beyond that - who knows?
I don’t think I am alone in that respect.

Christian brother who is strongly pro-life just sent out a post-Roe pro-life piece in which he talked only about surgical and RU486 abortions, not mentioning the huge percentage of abortions which are committed in the first week of life. I wrote asking why he hadn’t mentioned these abortions done by IUDs & hormonal birth control? Then I added: "I’ve gotten to the point where I’m almost disinterested in the pagans’ surgical and RU486 chemical abortions when none are calling the church to repentance for killing our own babies (but Pharisaically).
Meaning very early and very secretly. #abortion
