Yes, this and many other challenges. Restoration of the household is going to be a multi-generational effort.
Each father is going to have to do some hard and prayerful work figuring out how to lead his family day by day, especially when many are absent for much of the week for their jobs.
Leading daily/weekly family worship is one simple but powerful and essential shift that will begin to move the needle.

Definitely a major hurdle and an unjust distortion of law.
I would argue, though, that this too won't change until we recover the household. Might seem counterintuitive—how can households be properly recovered if the law is weaponized against them?—but this is where I think it is crucial for men to make wise and prudent decisions around marriage, family formation, and community. And existing families, churches, and communities need to be more intentional about helping young people marry and helping them throughout marriage.
In other words, we cannot wait for the laws to change before we make concerted efforts at household recovery. We as men have to make wise decisions and take the risks involved if we are to get to a point where law, politics, and culture shift away from a perverse, feminist bent.

The household—not the individual—is the basic unit and building block of civilization.
This is why the constant upending of the household has dealt a death blow to the culture, the body politic, the church, and every institution.
Everything we face now in the West is downstream of the hollowing out of the household. This mean that the recovery of productive, covenantal, sovereign, and faithful households is of the utmost importance. Restore the household, restore civilization.
Young men, take note. Husbands and fathers, take note.

Jesus directed the conquests of Canaan via Joshua after the Exodus. There was much heroism there.
He also gives authority ("the sword") to the civil magistrate to execute justice by being a terror to evildoers. This includes putting the evildoer to death.
You are right that Jesus didnt conquer sin through the bloodshed of others, but rather shed his own blood. Yet he is the ultimate Judge and arbiter of justice and he often uses human agents (civil authorities) to carry out His justice.

Faith is trust, and trust is established through a reasoned assessment and assurance that the object of that faith is trustworthy. Faith is neither blind nor superstitious no wishful thinking nor *only* personal.
Reducing faith to merely a personal relationship with Christ that has no real weight of objective truth behind it and no real requirements on the world is antithetical to the Biblical definition of faith and is one of the biggest reasons the West is on the suicidal path it has taken.

Yes and justice flows from God's moral order and law. As I have mentioned elsewhere in this larger conversation, all magisterial law and action follows some kind of moral standard. It can't help but do this. So then we have to ask, which ought it to be? It cannot be neutral. And a Christian moral standard of justice and civil order is the most ideal because it is the only one that is most in accord with reality and most honoring of Christ.
I know that various people within CN have different visions for what a Christian nation is, but what I mean to argue here is a pretty plainly Scriptural and standard historical view in which the civil magistrate weilds the sword of justice, protects private property, and, most importantly, acts as a protector and promoter of the True Religion. From what I have gathered of @nprofile…5nhe 's posts, I think this is where he is at too, but I won't speak for him.

Re: "I'm not saying your view is incorrect, but rather that there are different ways of understanding God."
In order for your view to be correct, the Biblical view @nprofile…5nhe is espousing would necessarily have to be incorrect.
God cannot both be a perfect, complete, transcendent being who is outside and independant of His Creation and simultaneously be an incomplete, dynamic, unfolding process that is dependent on Creation.
This is an either/or, not a both/and theological assertion. Either your view of God is correct, or Laser's view is correct. Even if you believe that there are different ways of understanding God, you will necessarily hit limitations in just how many are coherent before you run into irreconcilable contradictions of belief and possibility.

What I have noticed from many of the detractors of these posts about marriage and children by @nprofile…fm4n is an underlying rejection of an objective moral standard.
The strong libertarian ethos of the Bitcoin and Nostr community has many positive qualities, but one of the biggest ditches libertarians fall into is the *everything is subjective* mindset and the assumption that freedom means people can do and think whatever they want (always with some vague caveat about not hurting other people) because every lifestyle decision is of equal moral value and deserves to be respected.
But there is an objective moral standard and there are objectively bad reasons to not get married or have children. If someone chooses not to get married or have children for one of these objectively bad reasons, they are *free* to do so, but that decision is still, nonetheless, a morally impoverished one.
Coming up with a thousand nuanced situations that justify a person not having children doesn't change the normativity of having them, the joy and fulfillment found in having them, the objectively superior moral value in having them, or the civilizational suicide course we are on because we aren't having them.

I recognize that many of these come with nuance and caveats but the point is not to what degree that these things have been effectively carried out (thus far), but whether any of the promises have been honored at all (re: whether things have been polar opposite).
I'm personally in a stage of withholding judgment until more time has passed.

Never responded to this thoughtful answer.
You are right that God alone truly judges the genuineness of repentance. However I am not talking about whether repentance is genuine but whether it is present at all. Not even God himself forgives when there is no repentance. It is a prerequisite for forgiveness because forgiveness is not merely a personal act. It is never presented that way in the Scriptures.
There are two thieves being crucified next to Christ and it is only to the penitent thief that he says "today you will be with me in paradise."
I do not mean to say that a lack of repentance is license to harbor bitterness. On the contrary, the personal act is to bring our unjust anger, bitterness, desire for revenge, et al., before Christ and to adopt a spirit of *being ready* to forgive the moment it is asked. Even desiring that the perpetrator would repent so that I can provide forgiveness.
Until then, I am to harbor no ill will, and it is then on the wrongdoer to repent. If he never does, my conscience is clear before Christ and vengeance will be His to administer as he sees fit.

Halloween does not have its origins in the ancient pagan festival of Samhain. We wouldn’t know about the festival at all were it not for Medieval Irish monks who recorded its existence nearly a millennia after it ceased to be observed. Halloween has always been a distinctly Christian holy day with a rich history. Our household is pushing through the noise of an increasingly neo-pagan and commercialized American Halloween to find the signal of historic Hallowtide.

Columbus was a great man and Christian hero whose reputation and legacy, like so many great Christian men of ages past, was intentionally and unjustly tarnished by lesser men with wicked agendas and a lot of shiny academic credentials. This particular instance of character assassination was carried out by so-called historians like Howard Zinn.
Imperfect though he was, Columbus represents Western civilization itself, which is to say, Christendom and all that was built upon its foundations. He represents the desire that faithful European Christians had to spread the Gospel to news lands and peoples.
And he represents America as an indespensible part of our existence and heritage.
He is worthy of our honor and our remembrance.

We are to trust in God for salvation and not in princes or chariots or anything else that cannot save.
Trust more broadly—a reasoned belief in the reliability or truthfulness of a person or thing—is essential for all areas of life. Civilization requires high trust societies and those societies include trustworthy neighborhoods, institutions, systems, etc.
As for bitcoin, one can trust in the immutability and integrity of the network because one can verify it. That is, in some sense, the irony of the "don't trust, verify" slogan. It rejects blind trust, which is proper. But real trust happens when one is confident in the reliability of a thing, and confidence occurs through verification. So in other words, we CAN trust bitcoin is a sound and reliable monetary network because we CAN verify it for ourselves.
And this trust is not in contradiction with the Scriptures. Ehat contradicts and violates Scripture is when a man pits his trust in bitcoin for salvation. And there are people that indeed do that. But that isn't a problem of trust in general, it is a problem of idolatry in particular.

I want the perpetrator(s) to repent and then to be executed. I am making the point that if the perpetrator repents he must be forgiven. And I am making the point that forgiveness of sin does not absolve a man from facing earthly justice, so he should also be executed for his crime.
If Tyler is innocent, he should not be executed. Right now with the evidence and information I have seen, and taking into account content I have seen online from people who are proposing counter narratives, Tyler appears to me to be the perpetrator. I am not convinced, however, that he acted alone. I also recognize that there are things that don't make sense yet or don't add up yet, like the supposed text thread. But there are other ways to make sense of things like that ridiculous text thread than to come to the conclusion that Tyler did not pull the trigger.
