Expertly said! As a former atheist newly saved by the grace of God, I treasure this eloquent and theologically sound explanation of a dream I feel like I woke up from once I discovered the gospel of Jesus Christ. I am very happily back into the containers from which I belong. Thank you for all that you do for the sake of the gospel.
Welcome to the fold. You are apart of the family of God that anyone can join at any time. Eternal life with the God who did so much for us all. Can’t wait to meet you in eternity with Jesus!
Right right aha, because the internet and social media has brought nothing but loving conciousness to the world, ahaha. Get real, it's done so so much damage to our mental and physical well being it's difficult to count all the ways. Boundless compassion for one another like Christ teaches is something sorely needed now more than ever.
I breath a biblical sigh of relief listening to this man. So many in my Anglican denomination do not even seem to know, let alone understand the scriptures and orthodox Christianity... not just the folks in the congregation, but the Priests! You may as well be talking to someone from Mars, their biblical and doctrinal understanding is so poor. We truly do live in a world where the error of religious pluralism and universalism find so many sympathetic minds. It's so convenient if you can form a god in the image of one's own accommodating convenience. But what will be it's end? We need more teaching like this. Thank you Sir.
Keep the Biblical Christ honoring Faith Brother. My kids & I were (gently) thrown out of an Anglican church on Easter Sunday by the Masked Zombies running the place. Our sin ? Displaying Unmasked Contenances & breathing Air as ordained by the LORD. These mainline denominations are SO lost in relativism, subjectivism & craven 😨. No wonder they fall for Mask Zealotry....
@@psalm2forliberty577 sorry to hear this. Also don’t resent them for doing so. If they were taught the truth they would be set free. Praying for them now.
@@matttdb Agreed I dont. We were very SAD for them & my kids & prayed for their recovery to His Truth. Anglicanism = very bureacratic Denomination (Church of England) and they tend to rigidly follow human under-shepherds, while igniring Jesus the only True Shepherd ! They're far from alone in this - Gods Spirit is testing us NOW to see who resists the Devil (he MUST flee) and who opens the door wide to him. Im 57 and have NEVER seen a season when people are so polarized over TRUTH v LIES. VIVO CHRISTO REY !
I cannot tell you how much I think about some of the points Pastor Doug has made. Often I think about all the useless, ego-driven expression I see all around me, especially in the dating world. He really hit the nail on the head with this one.
I hear a lot of my unbelieving coworkers talking about how excited they are to go back to concerts and follow those pronounce this philosophy. They spent a year in the oppressive collectivism of the covid cult just to go back to cult of individualism not realizing that it is really the same cult just with a little shot of self righteousness and a shiney new vaccine passport.
@Mike Cook You are deceived and channeling a spirit of Anti-Christ. Jesus Christ is ALIVE FOREVERMORE & reigns upon Davids Throne - from where He rules over Heaven & Earth all thrones principalities & powers. He Created ALL & Redeems ALL - who repent of their SINS - violations of His Law - which as the CREATOR He has the Right to. You & I will certainly stand before Him. How will any of us pay the price for our sins absent His Grace ?
If you do not allow for more than one opinion, more than one path to salvation, more than one way to truth and meaning, then you are at the whims of one one man, one dogma, the very basis of cult.
@@TheZebulonPike You are mistaken. Opinions are just that. They are not truth. Truth is not relative. There is only one truth and one path to salvation. That path is: *_That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved._* *_For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation._* Romans 10:9 & 10 KJV True Christians do follow one man. That man is Jesus Christ who always did the will of God, his father, not his own. When Jesus Christ taught, he was teaching the word of God. He wasn’t giving his opinion or indulging his ego. Since he followed his father, God, to follow him is to follow God. We follow other men only to the extent that those men follow Jesus Christ. Hence we are not following men but God. There are many men from whom we can learn many valuable things but there’s only one path to salvation and that is the path of Christ. We can have many opinions on many things but some things are not matters of opinion. Some things are either true or untrue. Individualism is fine as long as it’s subject to the truth of the Word of God. If we choose to follow one man or multiple men, and that man or those men follow their own will and not the will of God, that’s when we are following a cult. If we choose to follow our hearts, our own opinions, our own will and not the will of God, then we are following a cult of one. Either way, we are following, worshipping and serving the creature more than the creator and that’s idolatry. I acknowledge that this comment is long. It was originally much longer because I went on to explain other things. I cut it down because maybe you’re not interested. If you are interested I can expand. I can tell you what salvation is, why we need it, how Adam lost it, how Jesus Christ is the second Adam and more. I think it’s interesting and glorious but maybe you don’t so I won’t go on unless you ask. My main purpose in writing this was to tell you that there is only one truth and one path to salvation which is available to anyone who wants it. I think I have accomplished that. It’s up to you whether or not you want to accept it and whether or not you want to know more.
Thank you for living out Zecharia 8:16: These are the things that ye shall do; Speak ye every man the truth to his neighbour; execute the judgment of truth and peace in your gates. These truths are so encouraging right now given the society we find ourselves in. I daily must remind myself that God is sovereign.
Jared, I'd say this crazy year was designed by God our Savior to drive home that precise point: His Overwhelming Sovereign Grace. Always shines brighter against a black background !
I look forward to any daily dose of Doug’s prose. Theological, sociological, distilling how each should interact, or just storytelling. I must admit I always prefer Doug in Doug voice and that I’ve heard enough that I read Doug in my mind’s Doug voice. Thank you for your constant winsome edification brother!
Jordan Peterson and Doug Wilson should do a podcast together. A conversation between those two would add some serious momentum to the current spiritual awakening happening across the globe.
Maybe Jordan could actually get saved. Quit thinking the Bible is full of fun archetypes and realize the JEDP theory is total garbage and it really is a book of history
“It would be better to be a molecule in the paving stones of heaven then to fill up the entire outer darkness with our triumph and howling” Oh my goodness I listen to your two daughters on their ‘What Have You’ podcast. What an amazing job you have done with them.
I just saw your sexuality by design lecture and I just want to say one day I would love to shake your hand sir. Doug Wilson your a fierce warrior for Christ. You speak truth even though literally everyone is against you. God bless you forever!
Knowing he was speaking before a "tough crowd", Paul deconstructed their idolatrous arguments of their culture with the proclamation of the God who they ignored and denied. God is Great!
We fail to acknowledge that secular is a religion itself. We live in a world where you can profess any religion as long as secular is the only religion that you actually practice. If we are to live by the model of the secular heresy, God would have the churches and Satan would rule the streets of Heaven.
I believe it was Peterson who said religion might be defined as our set of a priori axiomatic assumptions regarding the nature of the world. By this definition, just about any position on the subject could be called one’s ‘religion’.
@@Globeguy1337 I've been trying to tell people just that.. Everyone has an epistemology, a metaphysic, ethics, and politics. Respectively: how you determine what is true, what is ultimate reality, what you should and shouldn't do, and what other people should be constrained to do/from doing. All 4 of these things are a person's religion. Everyone has one.
I have no idea why, my fear of man just decreased a lot. Perhaps because you revealed to me by the grace of God how wretched the unbelieving are in contrast to the regeneration of the Holy Spirit.
A lot of this is over my head. I do however value most of what I understand. I do wonder if there may be an element of error at 14:07. Probably just sloppy articulation or it needs to be understood in a very narrow meaning. The part that I'm talking about is where Doug says that Lord refused to value himself in that same way (above all else). God does value himself above all else. I'm pretty sure Doug agrees.
8:11 "That entity ideally being a French philosopher with lots of nubile blue stockings around" Dang! Roast! He basically said Sarte is just making up excuses to fornicate.
Love your stuff br. Doug You’re on podcast, TH-cam and speaking to the culture Biblically Need to get on tick-tok where the Zoomers next gen are now. Battle is fought there now...
In regards to the conversation between Lucie and Susan I was reminded that Susan did not in the end remain in the covenant of fellowship or did she ? I don’t want to read the last battle over again ?
I love Doug's wordsmithing and how, generally speaking, sane he is compared with liberal Christian leaders and some evangelicals on matters of government and culture. I'm genuinely grateful for him, but I can't see the good reason behind holding to YEC come hell or high water, despite the scholarly consensus that the earth is old. It seems like he is trying hard to shoehorn that narrative on to reality. I shoehorn my narrative too at times, but if I buck the scholarly trend, I will admit it. But I won't claim everyone must accept my minority position on a tertiary issue or else risk ineffectiveness in confronting the cultural madness around us.
Is there a kind of expressive individualism that is OK? That demonstrates our creativity and unique personalities as creatures of God - manifested through our personal decisions in life regarding art, fashion, architecture etc.?
The terms are defining the self as the thing that is being expressed and in charge of itself. So no. There is no place where individualism is appropriate except in a VERY limited way in politics (individuals have freedoms)
Why aren’t more pastors calling it out like this? Where are the pastors? Do we have any genuine Bible-believing pastors these days? Maybe that’s why we don’t have very many genuine Bible-believing Christians these days.
I need to confess something. I am cut from the same cloth as some of you guys. Years and years studying Philosophy... multiple degrees... a promising professorial future... endless nights pouring over the works of VT and other reformed giants... all of it. ALL of it. I don't relate well to many people. I come here for solace (which is why I'm really on edge about the possibility you're heretical on justification.... sigh). Anyway, all of this is to say (and God forgive me for the arrogance this reeks of) I rarely ever hear something here that I haven't said, written, thought, in one form or another, elsewhere. There is no way to avoid how that sounds, I own it. But if you know. then you know, and I think you get it. We hail from the same intellectual lineage and thus have connected a lot of the same dots. Or, better said, God has been gracious to us in some similar ways. K? HOWEVER... You BLINDSIDED me with the point about the ETHICAL/METAPHYSICAL nature of the scarification thing. I had always cashed it out as an AESTHETIC thing (no doubt with spiritual, and thus ethical causes/roots, to be sure). I mean even the point about the rebellion against the idea of "natures"/kinds is one I have tread and retread in my mind... but something about the way you identified scarification as an assertive act of creator-status... that angle on it... man I'm not saying any of this right... That hit hard man. REALLY well said. I am reeling.
"This is eternal life, that they may know You, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom You have sent." John 17:3 There is hope and love that is found in the midst of the chaos of this world. It is found in knowing Him. We must be careful to not just deliver dogmatic doctrine void of Agape love because that is not True doctrine. "Fundamental" doctrine without love at the heart is a resounding gong to the ears of the lost and is in actuality false doctrine because it is not the heart of God who came to seek and save the lost. God so loved the world that he sent His one and only Son to die for us and the tattooed, nose-pierced, crazy-haired kids in need of a Savior and in many cases have been found and know the Savior. "But I say to you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, so that you may be sons of your Father who is in heaven;..." - Jesus
seems that if we don't believe that GOD is the creator, like He explained in Genesis, but rather we believe in evolution, then the resurrection of Christ in a new body, the promise that we will receive glorified bodies, and the promise of a new heaven and knew earth, are highly improbable if not impossible. If GOD did not create Adam instantly, then i have no reason to expect that God has the ability to transform us in a blink of an eye; if God didn't create the universe in six days, but rather in billions of years, then i have little reason to believe that in ONE DAY the new Jerusalem will descend from heaven. If GOD is not the creator as He said, then much of the Bible is a compilation of unsupported stories of grandeur. Of course the alternative secular theories are even more untenable.
Observation, the amount of comments are disproportionate to the amount of subscribers, either there's funny business going on or people are not supporting this channel.
may i ask what would be the harm in having the Word of God tattooed on your body? it would provoke conversation about the Gospel, possibly offend those who hate Christ, and would be an external declaration of the Lord’s words on your body for as long as you live.
The authority of God is rejected, the authority of man is erected and then any semblance of God is erased being morality, normalcy, heterosexuality. For man's debauchery.
@@PSUIVERSON maybe they felt like having green hair? have you ever thought being so judgemental and thinking you know Gods will is a sin? This channel is sin it does nothing but try to cast judgment on people who aren't up to there standard of what they think is right and wrong
Doug, I appreciate your direct, faithful messages. It is a stern voice of reason that speaks to my heart, mind, and soul. There is one subject that I would love to learn more about that I can’t reconcile with the collective worldview. You assert that creation is a few thousand years olds. Cosmologists-to my knowledge-mostly agree that the evidence we see in creation suggests an age in the billions. This is deduced by the observation of background microwave radiation as well as the expansion rate of the universe. What are your reasons for rejecting these as unreliable factor for estimating Creations age?
If you're at all honest, you should spend 100 hours on the Answers page of the website Answers in Genesis. Truth is not a consensus. Science is on the side of the young earth creationists (heliocentric, flat earth denying)

You BLINDSIDED me with the point about the ETHICAL/METAPHYSICAL nature of the scarification thing. I had always cashed it out as an AESTHETIC thing (no doubt with spiritual, and thus ethical causes/roots, to be sure).
I mean even the point about the rebellion against the idea of "natures"/kinds is one I have tread and retread in my mind... but something about the way you identified scarification as an assertive act of creator-status... that angle on it... man I'm not saying any of this right... That hit hard man. REALLY well said. I am reeling.
"This is eternal life, that they may know You, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom You have sent." John 17:3
There is hope and love that is found in the midst of the chaos of this world. It is found in knowing Him. We must be careful to not just deliver dogmatic doctrine void of Agape love because that is not True doctrine. "Fundamental" doctrine without love at the heart is a resounding gong to the ears of the lost and is in actuality false doctrine because it is not the heart of God who came to seek and save the lost. God so loved the world that he sent His one and only Son to die for us and the tattooed, nose-pierced, crazy-haired kids in need of a Savior and in many cases have been found and know the Savior.
"But I say to you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, so that you may be sons of your Father who is in heaven;..." - Jesus
Holy dogma, Jesus-man! Those are fighting words.
Love it
He should slow down, it takes a while to understand this deep powerful understand
seems that if we don't believe that GOD is the creator, like He explained in Genesis, but rather we believe in evolution, then the resurrection of Christ in a new body, the promise that we will receive glorified bodies, and the promise of a new heaven and knew earth, are highly improbable if not impossible. If GOD did not create Adam instantly, then i have no reason to expect that God has the ability to transform us in a blink of an eye; if God didn't create the universe in six days, but rather in billions of years, then i have little reason to believe that in ONE DAY the new Jerusalem will descend from heaven. If GOD is not the creator as He said, then much of the Bible is a compilation of unsupported stories of grandeur. Of course the alternative secular theories are even more untenable.
a work of art, no offense
Mans on a roll! Haha vapour man!
Observation, the amount of comments are disproportionate to the amount of subscribers, either there's funny business going on or people are not supporting this channel.

Not unbelief. Improper belief in the lesser as the greater. Idols.
may i ask what would be the harm in having the Word of God tattooed on your body? it would provoke conversation about the Gospel, possibly offend those who hate Christ, and would be an external declaration of the Lord’s words on your body for as long as you live.
The authority of God is rejected, the authority of man is erected and then any semblance of God is erased being morality, normalcy, heterosexuality. For man's debauchery.
amen
Wait so wearing green hair is sinful?
If you have to ask
What's the aim of dying the hair green?
@@PSUIVERSON maybe they felt like having green hair? have you ever thought being so judgemental and thinking you know Gods will is a sin? This channel is sin it does nothing but try to cast judgment on people who aren't up to there standard of what they think is right and wrong
Obscurity is Serenity, it's time to sail across the lake is it not? Matthew 8:20, he comes again... Brace yourselves non believers 🤣
If belief in a god doesn't make sense then speak words that make no sense
Amen
Sorry I got to ask, is he a JW? or did he just say Jehovah just to say it?
Jehovah is one of God's names and has nothing to do with just jehovas witness. Doug Wilson is not jehovas witness by any means.
A M E N !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Your narrating voice is second to Morgan Freeman
Doug, I appreciate your direct, faithful messages. It is a stern voice of reason that speaks to my heart, mind, and soul.
There is one subject that I would love to learn more about that I can’t reconcile with the collective worldview. You assert that creation is a few thousand years olds. Cosmologists-to my knowledge-mostly agree that the evidence we see in creation suggests an age in the billions. This is deduced by the observation of background microwave radiation as well as the expansion rate of the universe.
What are your reasons for rejecting these as unreliable factor for estimating Creations age?
If you're at all honest, you should spend 100 hours on the Answers page of the website Answers in Genesis. Truth is not a consensus. Science is on the side of the young earth creationists (heliocentric, flat earth denying)
Every time you say “Jehovah’ God” I think, _Is he Jehovah’s Witness?_
This is basically everything we’re seeing. Man trying to be God.
I wander how the world will be 80 years from now. I won’t be in this world anymore, that’s fir sure.
Is Doug a presuppositional apologist?
Totally !
Cool just wondering. fantastic blog.
