Nor should you or anyone else for that matter

I had no foolish beliefs that Trump was a good man. He is not by any means whatsoever. He has low morals and maybe an average character at best. But I'm not electing him to be my pastor. I want him to steer an economy and keep my country safe.
Thank you for the honest and sincere answer. This is what the conservative mindset should be. I hope the big government Christians can see that and I hope Trump doesn't try to legislate morality or use our resources to fight over some holy strip of dirt in the Middle East

I really like the idea of a judge ruled society wherein judges are selected based off of public esteem and age. I believe that pre-Christian Ireland and Scandinavia were governed in such a way...which is to say, not really governed.

How did we get stuck with those 2 candidates? I just couldn't bring myself to vote for either of them, since I find them both wholly despicable.

Because a significant majority of We the People have opted out

Democracy blows, but it blows especially hard in the weird, nihilistic, radically individual yet strangely collectivist society we live in.

The parliamentary model is a better one given the relative diversity of the US, and the diffusion of that diversity.

There were good judges and bad judges in those OT days, just like today. Interestingly, it was Moses, at the urging of his FIL (if memory serves correct) to organize and govern the Hebrews in a hierarchical manner when they left Egypt
Nehemiah, though not a judge, was a great leader of people. Chuck Swindol wrote about him in a book entitled, Hand Me Another Brick

Trump is an answer to the open-border, Muslim-apologist, PC culture. That, and he's willing to take non-republican ideas like tarriffs which connected with middle class workers esp in the rust belt. The only surprise is that it took this long for such a candidate to emerge. I'm waiting for similar candidates to emerge in Europe.

We'd have some rather strange coalitions arise, that's for sure. I'm imagining a bunch of radical white nationalists teaming up with extremist tree huggers to preserve some natural beauty.

It would be completely fricking awesome. I love watching the British Parliament on TV. It's really entertaining.

The House of Commons seems like they dressed up a bunch of aged soccer hooligans and threw them in a formal setting.

I don't view the article as a melt. Piper makes great points in the article regarding the conflict Christians dealt with in voting for Trump. I'll venture to say they voted for someone else in the primary besides Trump. But, when it came to Trump vs Clinton, it was Trump hands-down. And what you see now is not necessarily enthusiasm that Trump won, but that Clinton lost.
So Piper says, "now what are Christians to do?"
It's simple, Pray for Trump and his administration.
BTW, Mike Pence is a faithful Christ-follower and has a tremendous amount of respect from the Christian community.

Common sense tells me this. The Evangelicals hold on this country and particularly the South is finished with Trump.

Calvin believed in hardline predestination
As does Piper.

the immaculate conception and perpetual virginity of Mary
Where in his writings does Calvin specifically endorse these views?
quote:
rejected sola scriptura
This might be too hasty of an assertion.
quote:
Now daily oracles are not sent from heaven, for it pleased the Lord to hallow his truth to everlasting remembrance in the Scriptures alone.
When taken to its logical conclusion this statement is a rejection of sacred tradition as being infallible. It is therefore a rejection of sacred tradition as being an infallible authority.
quote:
But such wranglers are neatly refuted by just one word of the apostle. He testifies that the church is "built upon the foundation of the prophets and the apostles". If the teaching of the prophets and apostles is the foundation, this must have had authority before the church began to exist. Groundless, too, is their subtle objection that, although the church took its beginning here, the writings to be attributed to the prophets and the apostles nevertheless remain in doubt until decided by the church. For if the Christian church was from the beginning founded upon the writings of the prophets and the preaching of the apostles, wherever this doctrine is found, the acceptance of it-without which the church itself would never have existed-must certainly have preceded the church. It is utterly vain then, to pretend that the power of judging Scripture so lies with church that its certainty depends upon churchly assent.
Here we have a quote that places Scripture as the authority over and above the church.
