Pastor Wilson offers fresh perspective and inspiration to Christians about what are we against. "politics doesn't save us, that needs to be saved" It is an amazing interview.
Doug denies wanting to dissolve separation of church and state. However, Doug also wants the Nicaean Creed included in the Constitution. Quite a contradiction for Doug.
@@manager0175There is a difference between a separation of the institutional jurisdictions of church and state (which Doug fully supports), and the separation of religion and society (including the civil government) (which Doug does not support). And I would agree with Doug.
@@JustinHonaker You said: "There is a difference between a separation of the institutional jurisdictions of church and state (which Doug fully supports),". Oh really? Then why does Doug want the Nicaean creed in the Constitution? Is that not the very definition of blending religious and institutional jurisdictions? Here is the question Doug has not yet answered: DOES DOUG SUPPORT PROJECT 2025?
Outstanding conversation! I am beginning to see the younger people, mostly friends of my children, are beginning to seek Christ out and it makes my heart swell. It’s dawning on them that something very important is missing and his word is getting through.
Matt, I'm so happy to see this conversation happen! Crazy to hear about how you and Doug have a past family connection. Doug's stories about your parents were very touching. Keep up the great work.
Having followed Doug for years, it’s crazy how all the sudden he’s seems to be less of an unmentionable. I keep seeing him pop up on other channels I don’t follow (like this one). Good to see
I have not been a Doug follower for very long. But what bothers me is the major inaccuracies he puts forth in nearly every video. That does not help the cause of Christ.
Doug said: "Christ or chaos"? Apparently Doug forgot about the "European wars of religion" that directly resulted from the first Reformation. As James Madison said: “The purpose of separation of church and state is to keep forever from these shores the ceaseless strife that has soaked the soil of Europe in blood for centuries.” Historically speaking, nothing is more chaotic than Christians with political power.
You said: "Europe needs to return to God.". You want another 200 years of religious wars? That is what happened the last time in European Christians had political power.
The correlation is clear and strong: The more secular tend to fare better than the more religious on a vast host of measures, including homicide and violent crime rates, poverty rates, obesity and diabetes rates, child abuse rates, educational attainment levels, income levels, unemployment rates, rates of sexually transmitted diseases and teen pregnancy, etc. You name it: On nearly every sociological measure of well-being, you’re most likely to find the more secular states with the lowest levels of faith in God and the lowest rates of church attendance faring the best and the most religious states with the highest levels of faith in God and rates of church attendance faring the worst. CHRISTIANITY IS A DANGEROUS MENTAL ILLNESS!!!!!
I agree. However, I do not want more God and Jesus in government. Like Melville said "..better a sober cannibal than a drunk Christian..". Christians with political power have always been more corrupt and incompetent than their secular counterparts. Separation of church and state is one of the genius ideas of our founding fathers. Doug will destroy it.
Nobody needs your imaginary friend!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

"Better a sober cannibal than drunken Christian." That quote from Melville sums up the problem for me. Historically, nothing is more corrupt or more incompetent than Christians with political power.

I never understood why your channel hasn’t blown off yet then i realise i may be in the starting phase of course watching you grow to great heights you deserve god bless you
@@unkown312 Please elaborate? I'm not sure if you're opposed to any kind of morality whatsoever in government, or if you support church being in government.
@@PanhandleFrank if we read our bibles and pay attention to how the apostles move, we would see that they were very much involved with politics. There was a reason they were all killed the way they were. They made an impact in the complete culture of the time.
@@unkown312 I agree. The apostles _as individuals_ were involved in politics and had a vast impact on their culture. They prophetically spoke truth to power. That's not the same as arguing for the involvement of _the institution_ of the Church in the State. Both institutions are servants of God, but have different jurisdictions and tools of rule. And again, morality must exist in civil government. So when you initially told me, "No" ... what did I say that you were disagreeing with?
On the conversation of technical ability or loyalty... look at El Salvador. Especially in light of them, together, going, "We don't know what to do. Let's pray to God for His wisdom." Boom! MS13 taken down. Loyal to God. Loyal to His calling on your profession.
That’s precisely why we have to thank God for all the hardships that we experience because he is refining us so yeah maybe somebody wouldn’t be happy about it in the time but it’s essential for the plan 1:36:10
Any form of incrementalism is easily dismissed. Deuteronomy 18:10 LSB - “There shall not be found among you anyone who makes his son or his daughter pass through the fire, There is no room for incrementalism in this matter. Obey the word.
If your vote meant there would be an incremental law that abortions would be cut by 60%, would you not vote for that incremental measures because you didn't get a full on ban?
I haven’t gotten to the incrementalism discussion yet. But some problems (child sacrifice, eg) require an immediate 180, while others can allow for a slower course correction.
@@PanhandleFrank What do you think is the second and third biggest problem in America. I'll give you a hint about my opinion, both of them involve children.
It is that simple. Are we going to pick the side of King Solomon, King David, Moses, Abraham, Isaac, Joseph, Job, Peter, Esther, Zaccheaus, Samson, Noah, King Manasseh, etc. or pick the side of King Herod, Pharaoh, Herodias, Jezebel, Sodom and Gomorrah, Korah, Dathan, Abiram, Ananias, Sapphira, etc.? There are two political parties exactly behaving like those people from the Bible. God bless you. Just my two cents. Have a great day.
A Gen Z died and went to Heaven. The Lord said to him, "Depart from me, I never knew you." The Gen Z said, "But we have texted everyday." The Lord said, "Correct."
