Well, there is a case in the Bible for exile to Babylon encouraged by the prophets themselves because it was the only way to teach Israel its errors, sending it back to Egypt.

I definitely think that the liberal parts of America should be seceded or treated differently. They clearly have lost their rights and due process would show that. However to make it PC or satisfy political greed, those new slave states are at it again, claiming “Southern Independence” when in fact they want hegemony.

Well, we really don’t get to pick what covenant God is raising to our attention when we get a bold statement that “God now commands all men everywhere to repent” — and that in a clear gospel context. The only way to deal with that is either to obey or else to at least have SOME intellectual consistency and chuck the entire New Testament and Jesus out.

Folks who don’t get the role of the Old Testament as shadow and try to wish it literally on a country like America, might as well want us to compute using alphabet blocks. Incidentally, most of the books we call the gospels outline the life of Jesus during a pre-crucifixion ministry in which He showed He could live up to the Law that nobody else could. But that old wineskin proved ultimately to be incapable of containing His new wine.
