However, the Puritans had no concept of the separation of church and state, and the cult of Progressivism demonstrates that today. In this sense the Calvinist roots are exposed.Borepatchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05029434172945099693noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6322916946732811685.post-66588059024262588632016-10-13T01:26:08.258-04:002016-10-13T01:26:08.258-04:00Nah, you're totally wrong with this.

It does not matter what we may think but the east and west coasts? Well goodness, those matter. No, and I will eat my word but the system is so broken that it does not matter. Presidency or anything under it it does not matter. Ask the Bernie supporters... Oh.. Oh.. They will support the candidate that screwed over their chosen candidate... So the side of the.. not Democrats has to fight for the soul, or anything among 100 million people and even the aspect of anything R, Trump, Rommeny, Mccain is enough to say well Clinton is better than anything else offered.

In fact, I believe that the article writer has a very flawed origin theory, all of the described tendencies are most apparent in a branch of theology which derives directly from the radical reformation as opposed to the standard protestant reformation. The decedents of the radical reformation, which BTW are considered heretics by calvinists, come by means of the Anabaptists (not to be confused with Baptists, two different origins despite similar names) and descend through the general baptists and maintain in revivalism until the late 1800's where the split occurs between fundamentalism and progressivism. Woodrow Wilson is a classic example of this decent as he ascribed to a theory/hermeneutic/eschatology called dispensationalism.<br /><br />In any case, my point is simply that there is effectively no calvinistic decent but really descent from Thomas Müntzer, Zwingli through Munster and then to American Revivalism.<br /><br />We Calvinists get a bit picky when people try and rewrite our history, especially when they bring the anabaptists into the story.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10378074542326752938noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6322916946732811685.post-43344319129318450662016-10-12T17:33:17.651-04:002016-10-12T17:33:17.651-04:00If only he is right, and *IF* it happens before th...If only he is right, and *IF* it happens before the Liberals cause us to collapse.
