Everything else being equal, Christians–because we have had our hearts and minds opened to God’s Word by the Holy Spirit–will have a better understanding of these things than atheists. Again, common grace allows atheists to understand a lot about these things. But their knowledge will be lacking wisdom that only Christians can find in Scripture.... Continue Reading

So, the net takeaway is this: It doesn’t matter if you are an African Methodist, an Israeli Jew, or an American Presbyterian, if you’re theologically or politically conservative, you’re all racist and part of the “White Nationalist” movement according to the new liberal orthodoxy. Oh, and of course, pointing all of this out is racist... Continue Reading
