Isn't Bahnsen basically in agreement with Van Til? He wrote a large tome about it.

Honest question, why would you need to add in Geerhardus Vos to avoid becoming a reconstructionist like Rushdoony? Does Bahnsen take Van Til to an improper conclusion?
It’s true, Xero shoes are awesome. Their soles last, but I find the stitching on the sides to be the weak point. Still, a big fan of the product. And I am in no way connected to the company.
Just trying this out. This is for any track and field people out there. I would love to see what #nostr can do. My 2 sons run track at a small HS in Ohio. They still practice on a cinder track and are fundraising. I donated already but will make another donation in the name of the Nostr community. My sons are a So. and a Jr. (the 2 on the left) made the Ohio indoor state meet this year. Looking for less tha $1 zaps, say 1000 sats. After a couple days everyone will see my zap amount and I will screenshot the donation in fiat here. Help me spread the word for zaps.

I love my Xero shoes. The Prio and their daylite hikers are personal faves. I can run in the Prios, but their Simple DIY sandles are cheap and super effective for all activities.
To watch: Unbreakable, Bruce Willis. Asks what is a hero, and who is a villain. I know M. Night has had some flops, but I love this movie.
The meh, Avatar. Stunning special effects, but just so preachy it makes me gag.
Of all the internet arguments, this is the best. It’s gold, Jerry, absolute gold!

Ha ha ha! Awesome.
I have a thesis I want to run by my fellow #christians. Maybe I'm just rediscovering postmillennialism, or historic premillennialism, or something, but some of this seems original.
There are two halves of Biblical/world history: Creation and New Creation. Creation's head is Adam, whose commission is dominion. New Creation's head is Jesus, whose commission to evangelism. Dominion involves subduing physical reality to human ingenuity; i.e. technology. New creation involves subduing humanity to divine love.
We are told that this world is going to wear out like a garment, and be rolled up like a scroll, prompting apocalypticism throughout history. Yet Jesus says that the Kingdom is with you, and that it is the latter days. This is conventionally explained by the "already not yet", that New Creation is latent within our earthly lives.
But what if that is true beyond just the devotional? Jesus says the kingdom of heaven is like leaven, and we take that to mean that our souls are being saved. But what if the world itself is being saved? What if every rock, tree, ocean, cloud is being invisibly, slowly suffused by the Good News of Christ's immanent lordship over the earth? What if New Creation is slowly covering Old Creation like moss covering a rock, and when the rock crumbles away the moss will retain its shape? What if the new creation is already here, and is no less physical for it's being spiritual, and when "we see him face to face" and are changed, the rest of the world — including nature and the physical stuff we've built — are suddenly changed as well?
This fits with the idea of the "garden city" — in the Bible, cities come first, and then God irrupts into their center (for example Solomon's and Ezekiel's Temples), changing their entire nature, purpose, and organization.
This seems to me to reconcile God's apparent intention to discard this world in favor of a "new" one with his obvious love of what he has made. Thoughts? Hallucinations?

Family just finished a study of 2 Peter and it does say that this world will be destroyed by fire as the old world was destroyed by water, making room for the New Heavens and New Earth. I think the New Creation has been inaugurated as it says in 2 Cor 5:17, but we are awaiting the full consummation of that new Creation, as Christ is the 2nd Adam and takes dominion over the New Creation they the spread of the Gospel. It does seems to be a gradual process, so there's something going on there.
I am not a paid spokesman. But, Swan was one of the first places where I bought BTC. I am still a customer and withdrawing is easy, free, and painless. They have had some bad press, but it just hasn’t affect their customer service for my small account. Maybe others have had different experiences.
