Are some nations better than others? | | From Dr. Strange's Evening Class on "The Christian and Politics:"

Is South Korea a better nation than North Korea?

Men and Women are not equal although both are made in the image of God. Your "logic" is false, and your conclusion incorrect.

As soon as I hear the phrase "image of God," I get ready for a category confusion. Happens every time.

Who are you trying to convince, your class, or yourself?

Titus 1:12 One of them, a prophet of their own, said, "Cretans are always liars, evil beasts, lazy gluttons."

Equality before God does then comport to equality before man. Some nations are absolutely better than others. Some build huts, while some build cathedrals. Some are cannibals or like dogs eat raw meat from animals they just killed, while some cook their meat and eat with a fork and knife. Some carry water to their house, while some develop a way for it to be directly brought to their house through a pipe and a sink. Some overwhelmingly worship demons, while some overwhelmingly worship Christ. They're all fallen image bearers of God and all equally in need of Christ because of sin, but in benefiting culture and our neighbor, some, by the grace and providence of God, are better than others. Do you not see what this type of foolish thinking has caused in importing third worlders to our country? Their culture sucks, and they bring it in to our land and don't even seek to assimilate, while people like you pretend they're all the same.

This is a banger until you read what our Reformed forefathers had to say. Then you realize that Dr. Strange is simply fighting hard to maintain modern liberalism.

Reformed churches and seminaries are always such a disappointment.

Sorry doc, the Japanese are superior to the Congolese.

So this means Israel is equal to Russia, Iran and China, correct?

When you know you're argument is weak, start yelling.

Image of God once again being abused to justify modern egalitarian liberalism.

No Nation is better than another? This sounds like a Liberal talking point

So a Christian Nation that holds to Christian morality is not superior to a nation that believe in sacrificing humans to their “rain gods”?

Conflation of ontological and functional equality.

America is better than Sudan. And it's not a sin to say so. 🤡

the only time I want to hear "image of God" is when we're talking about hanging murderers

Dr. Wolfe response to Dr. Strange don't miss it

Shaq & I are both made in the image of God, but he is far better at basketball & business than I am. If a nation was made up of 10 million of me & another nation of 10 million of him, it wouldn't hurt my feelings to say that his nation is better at some things than mine.

Why pay money to learn from this guy when you could get the same category confusions from a politically charged family reunion?

Can a nation be better than another in its functioning, its culture, etc.? Absolutely. Are the people of one nation better than other people of another nation in value and dignity? No.

Yes, some nations are better than others.

When one nation conquers another wouldn’t they then become superior to that nation as they ruled over them?

What does this seminary and its professors think of the OPC 's Ordained Servant article against traditional patriarchy?

Screaming your point does not make them true.

My lying eyes

Were not the Gibeonites better than the other Canaanites?

“If you say your culture is better than this then you’re a sinner!” - fat and retarded boomer pastor

Why is "better" assumed to mean something like "intrinsically more meritorious on Judgement Day"? Are there other senses of the word that might apply?

Dr. Strange, @DrAlanStrange If all nations and cultures are equal, why are Christians commanded by Christ Jesus to go make disciples, effectively applying God’s Law to restrain wickedness?

All I have to say is

This is appallingly bad

Is Texas superior to Djibouti?

At least John Howard Yoder would be proud of this...
