#asknostr On @Start9 after adding a custom registry, I am unable to switch back to the Start9 registry or the community registry. The "Custom Registry" just sticks. Anyone figure this out yet?

#asknostr "They" stopped making my favorite everyday pants. - durable (can be worn for work or 'dressed up' a bit) - flexible/comfortable (i.e., not jeans; gusseted crotch a must) - age-appropriate (i.e., not jeans; I'm a middle-aged Dad) - I'm no style freak but don't want to look like a dweeb, either - easy on the pocketbook ...any recommendations?

In my experience, there is usually a direct relationship between a person's disdain for Calvin and his lack of familiarity with what he actually taught.

The call for Christian discernment means that we steer a middle course between Scylla ("I believe all conspiracy theories") and Charybdis ("I believe no conspiracy theories"). It means: - prove all things; hold fast to that which is good; - expose the works of darkness; - be men who "know the times, who know what [the church] should do"; and - be "wise as serpents, harmless as doves" (in a NAP kind of way); all while - keeping ourselves unspotted from the world as we do so. #HereIStandICanDoNoOtherSoHelpMeGod

I am as opposed to "Christian Nationalism" in nearly all its forms as I am opposed to Premillennial Dispensationalism (and everything in its wake). Acknowledging Natural Law (and its commensurate Natural Rights) _is not a uniquely Christian affirmation_. But even if not, "the church grasps not after the coercive sword of the State." History buffs, I refer you to the attempted "[Gardiner Spring Resolutions](https://www.pcahistory.org/documents/gardinerspring.html)" of 1861, where the General Assembly attempted "to decide the political question" and make support of the Northern Union, effectively, a requirement of membership in the church. It was an egregious error and a violation of the 'spirituality of the Church' principle, not to mention the clear "distinction" between the authority of the Church and the authority of the State. #2K all the way, bruv, because the church as institution is to be exalted far above the political machinations of man. Do not sully her.
