The Highway Forums General Discussion Open Forum King of Kings

I think I became a little sensitive Tom, because I feel like you kind of isolated some of my quotes in a way that made it appear that I don’t care about the promotion of truth, justice and morality based on the realities of God’s Creation & Design. I have children that have to live in this world too and I’m empathetic to the plight of Canada that’s more far gone than we are.

What I was trying to convey is that I think the sanctity and spirituality of the church can be sacrificed by political pursuits or the appearance of such. You mention Jesus’ kingship in response to my casual language for the purpose of a semi-political discussion (you admit that the agenda is social as well as spiritual). Yes, I used terms like “boogeyman” (and “distraction”) to describe how the media and unbelieving culture will twist anything perceived as a political power grab and that’s how the world will receive it (and I’m not saying that we worry about what the world thinks - we want them delivered, not made comfortable) and you countered to some of my arguments in a way that flipped the discussion from one sphere to the next (church vs public square - where you yourself acknowledge there is a distinction) which I don’t think was in good faith (and assuming I didn’t understand the distinction between special & natural revelation) in which you responded/accused: “statement is half true”, “affirm natural law while denying the necessity of revealed religion”, etc., but my words were in no way a slight (or intended to be) against the King of Kings that reigns and will be glorified regardless (despite how He is rejected, even by a moral majority). How can they reject Christ (unregenerate) AND NOT reject His authority over the nation? You accuse me of a kind of compartmentalizing but you are doing the same thing with spiritual matters/realities by ignoring theology or making them secondary, even if that is not your intention.

With all this being said, some of the more objective reviews of King of Kings will be coming. I don’t know this source, but I thought the reviewer made some insightful and reasonable points. You can continue to respond, but I hope you’re getting a clearer picture of where I’m coming from, before you do so…
