I love Chesterton and think that he is the most gifted Christian writer of the modern era.. where he got the distorted notion that Robespierre was in some way admirable after chopping off the heads of Carmelite nuns is beyond me.. I am sure he doesn't mean that but it sounds like it ...in the French revolution... Hardly admirable.. I just asked her and throwing the crucifix of Notre Dame Cathedral into the river and placing a prostitute on the altar.. that's not a revolution that's satanic.. so that can't be what he means... But I am glad that the karma light nuns went to their death singing right in front of Robespierre's face.. and what happened to the 10-day week?? Oh yeah God's in charge of time not the idiocy of the French revolution or the French for that matter and their Masonic underpinnings.. Chesterton did predict the absolute lunacy of Western Europe today which can only be salvaged by the Catholic Church into a society that keeps socialism and communism from being molded in the hands of the devil as they are today there and in America but thank God for Eastern Europe where there are still a few strongholds of the Catholic faith and as Pope Urban the 6th said I look to the Ukrainians and the Poles to save the church.. because only the church can save Western Civilization
I thought we all learned to talk about the weather because at one time when we actually depended on it for our well being because it effected our gardens trees and livestock like our cow on that 3 acres of pasture when we had homes hmmmm
Did Calvin actually say anyone's life destiny is sealed at birth or later as born again in Christ at alone surety life else death revisited for all times ...
I love GK Chesterton, but, he's uncharacteristically miscalculating when he takes his explanation of Calvinism from George Bernard Shaw. Whilst it must needs be the truth that God makes His sovereign election to predestinate the saved to have a saving faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, and be conformed to the image of His Son, this spiritual fact has nothing to do with the life of the believer as he or she navigates this world. Calvinism seems to be the one subject where GK loses his uncanny power of dealing with paradox.
What's the point of free will? What's the point of trying to understand the instrinc goodness and wisdom of God's word and truly appreciate it if you have the mentality of that of the predestinated saved? It also doesn't make sense to me considering everyone is fallen with a tendency to sinful behaviour. What makes one better than another? I don't know if I've been saved but I do know that the story of Jesus Christ and the wisdom of the Bible is an ideal I will objectively revere in awe even if fall short. The humbleness of falling short makes you strive to understand the nuances of biblical morality. The majority know and will understand thou shalt not kill.

The fact this has less than 4000 views is what's wrong with the world.
Looks grim to be sure, but my good man, don’t despair! Many more are actually just out reading the book!
This observation is so insightful that Mr G.K. Chesterton would have been proud.
Since a long time I have reading a meaningful, intelligent comment!👍

Thanks.

I don't think he thinks he was admirable, simply that his issue was obbsesion, not coldness.
What church do you mean as shared by Poles and Ukrainians? Some new unionistic one? Poles are Catholic and Ukrainians are Orthodox.

Truly said, God almighty became a son of Man who will deliver in end and sit on judgement seat for both the quick and dead than it's already.
In Calvinism yes it's accurate.
