The question of "who are the people of God today?" has long been a controversial one, and today it is as contentious as it has ever been.
Seemingly every few days there is a flare up between neoconservatives and dispensationalist-influenced evangelicals on one side and the online right and traditional Protestants (and Catholics) on the other.
Just this past week, the subject of the term "Judeo-Christian" was the source of a considerable amount of vitriol (and inevitable talking past one another to score points).
In this book, which has long been promised to you, I lay out what the New Testament actually says, how the covenantal relationship between God and His people developed and was fulfilled in Jesus Christ.
I am not deluded enough to think this will be the final word on the question, but hope that at least I can contribute clarity to a subject of tremendous confusion, and in such a way that sheds light on the subject rather than simply more heat.
If you want to examine a biblical case for why Christ and those united to Him are the Chosen People of God, please read.

The penalties for hitting sliding QBs don’t work for the same reason anti-bullying campaigns don’t work.
Perverse incentives increase the thing you are trying to get rid of.

The online right has a weird relationship with agency. They love to talk about it and how important it is, but then it turns out none of them even have it.
All the people who want to "punish the GOP" believe that voting does nothing. So does not voting do something? No, it does even less!
The point isn't to have an accurate understanding of our political system, the point is to rationalize inaction.
Do you know why the GOP sucks so bad? Because the people who make it suck have put in a lot of time, effort, and money so that they can enact their political will.
How much time, effort, and money have the people who want to "punish the GOP" put into enacting their political will? Given that their stated belief is that if they do literally nothing then eventually other people will enact their political will for them, I'm willing to guess not much.
Hilarious these people think I being paid to have the obviously correct opinion.
I have never taken a penny from anyone and I never will.
Republicans losing is bad for us, even very, very bad Republicans.
The GOP will not get better if he loses. They will 100% double down on re-installing the Old Guard.
Fixing the GOP takes many election cycles and making yourself an unreliable segment is the worst thing you can do if you want to fix it.

Yes, because very dumb people assume a QB who is obviously running out the clock is ACTUALLY on the take to prevent their prop bet from cashing out.

If it was guaranteed that your team would never win a Super Bowl as long as you lived, but Jonathan Vilma was locked in Guantanamo Bay instead of calling games, would you take that deal?

Please note that even though almost the entire Republican establishment threw French under the bus, he still insists that everyone vote straight ticket Republican.
This is because he knows how to win.

No, they will write you off forever like they do libertarians.
If the GOP learns that 10% of their base is very unreliable they have to cater to them because the GOP can't win elections without that 10%. It would be different if it was like 0.5% but the Indian is going to lose by several points. The lesson to be learned is that indians suck.

Yeah, Vivek is objectively terrible.
But if he loses the GOP will learn exactly zero lessons (other than the lesson that about ten percent of their base is very unreliable).
Yes, he is literally an anchor baby scammer, but even so, Amy Acton is far, far worse.
Vivek’s nomination was not DEI. He is a capable politician and, despite his flaws, far more forward-oriented than many Republicans.
And a loss would harm us in many ways. This is not a moment where we can afford principled stands designed to send a signal, especially if the Dems win the presidency in 2028 where GOP governorships will be critical bulwarks against their agenda. It’s also far from clear his loss would even teach the desired lesson if the GOP suffers an array of midterm losses.
I appreciate the concern that Vivek’s propositional view of American identity gains traction if he wins—and that this is actually compounded if he is effective at New Right priorities. But IMO the solution here is for leaders with stronger views of American identity to build comparable skills, and with broader populist support to influence party direction by driving wins across the right and by virtue of the status they gain, shaping movement aspiration and direction.

To Joel Berry, Christians who don't adhere to post-60s liberalism are "pagans." But Vivek, an actual pagan, curiously get a pass. Of course, none of this is about religion. It's all an op to bash young guys deemed too right-wing by aspiring gatekeepers and their backers.
“Vivek is an Indian Hindu”
“Actually his political philosophy is pure Anglo-Protestantism.”
“Okay if pure Anglo-Protestantism is a good thing, how about we try to make that be our demographics.”
“No wanting Anglo Protestants to be your demographics is Gnostic paganism.”

Just hoarding it for someone to drop the monopoly card.
This is why he’ll never win the big one.
Joe Burrow on playing Catan:
"I like to hoard my ore, typically. Some ore and wheat. Depending on how the board plays out."
"We haven't broken the Catan out yet in the locker room. Hopefully we can get that going."

This is why school choice is going to win in TN.
This is in Nashville at Hillsboro High School, which is probably the premier guaranteed-admission high school in the city, with a school zone where houses are sold for $1 million++ more often than not.
From the lawsuit: Aside from the beating the girl took, there was "sexual intercourse in the hallways, drug overdoses in the bathrooms"
"In spring of 2022, a student was seen running through the hallways of Hillsboro High with what appeared to be an assault rifle."
If trends continue, I expect James Lawson HS will be the landing place for those parents unable to swing a private education and who get shut out of the magnet lottery.

Just think.
If we didn’t have the Second Amendment, the government could have locked us in our homes for a year.
