0:00.0 | A sevenfold rejoinder to Jeremy Sexton, March 11th, 2024. Introduction. In a recent edition of Themelias, 483, |
0:17.8 | my fellow CREC minister, Jeremy Sexton, offered his critique of post-Moleennialism. |
0:23.2 | Now to be blunt, he did far more than offer a critique. |
0:26.3 | What he did was set up a superstore of critiques |
0:28.6 | with a shelf stocked full in every direction. |
0:31.1 | The problem is that my shopping cart is only yay big and I only have time |

1:13.2 | stratagems. In contrast I had rather simply proclaimed the crown rights of |
1:17.2 | King Jesus because I see the alternative is drifting into a semi-nostic dualism |
1:21.8 | where Jesus is the King of Heaven and where we need to make an uneasy truce |
1:25.8 | with all the spiritual warlords down here and a sort of lower story status quoism. |
1:30.8 | That would be bad also. |
1:32.2 | Some of Jeremy's arguments were formidable, |
1:34.0 | while other strike post-Miltypes as being as tendentious as he thought our arguments were, |
1:38.0 | are idiosyncratic and often novel arguments. |
