Satan’s Marketing of Disorder: Why Christians Must Shout “No!” to the Transgender Revolution

Last updated on: November 23, 2016 at 9:54 am   By nathanrinne

Post by Nathan Rinne A few days ago, the “dating service” Tinder unveiled that their app would no longer allow users to only identify as male or female but now had transgender options. As Albert Mohler put it, tongue firmly in-cheek, “Tinder was a part of the problem until November 15, 2016. It was a part of the oppressive patriarchal regime. But all that changed with just one announcement on one day and now Tinder according to the New York... Read more

Individualism in the Age of Trump: the Unbridled Sophistry Behind Sexuality, Gender… and the Theory of Evolution

Last updated on: November 12, 2016 at 6:29 am   By nathanrinne

Post by Nathan Rinne In the Western world, today’s “conservatives” are increasingly libertarian when it comes to matters of sexual morality. Whatever good might come out of a Trump Presidency (full disclosure: I voted for the man), it seems unlikely that the nation’s appreciation for the importance of sexual morality will deepen. Increasingly in our society, the expectation for any romantic relationship is that it must be sexual or get sexual without much delay – married or not. Going hand... Read more

A Critique of Escondido Two Kingdom Theology

Last updated on: November 1, 2016 at 2:37 pm   By Jordan Cooper

This is my opening lecture from the 2016 Just and Sinner Christ, Culture, and the Two Kingdoms conference. The lecture is titled, “Escondido Theology: An Evaluation and Critique.” In this lecture, I outlined the Reformed two kingdom school of thought and compared it to Luther’s two kingdom distinction. I argued that these systems of thought are not consistent with one another, but present vastly different approaches to the two kingdom paradigm. A high quality video recording of the lecture should... Read more

The Connection Between the Bondage of the Will and the Two Kinds of Righteousness (Justification and Sanctification)

Last updated on: November 1, 2016 at 7:24 am   By nathanrinne

Post by Nathan Rinne First of all, happy day after Reformation Day. Semper reformanda! Not too long ago, my eleven-year-old son and I were attending a different LC-MS (Lutheran Church Missouri Synod) congregation than the one that we are members of. After the confession and absolution, I looked at my son, who was already looking at me in great seriousness, repeating as a question the first words the pastor had said in his unique absolution: “God always looks for the... Read more

Semper Vendenda!?: Was the Reformation about Creative Marketing with Disruptive Technology?

Last updated on: October 21, 2016 at 6:58 am   By nathanrinne

+++ Post by Nathan Rinne Short answer: “Yes”, but it was also much, much more. Not too long from now, Reformation Day (All Saint’s Day) will be upon us once again. And next year, of course, will mark the 500th anniversary of Luther nailing the 95 theses to the church door in Wittenberg, and subsequently setting the world on fire – either a good thing (the Holy Spirit!) or a bad thing (Heretic!) depending on your churchly perspective.
