Mahler’s Opening Statement Misstep and Other Sundry Thoughts on the White-Mahler Debate

Chris Hume — Fri, 16 May 2025 13:44:31 +0000

In his recent debate with James White on the thesis, “Can the Holy Spirit sanctify a black Christian as much as a white Christian?” Corey Mahler employed the motte-and-bailey fallacy, a rhetorical tactic named after medieval motte-and-bailey castles.

Tariffs Are Unjust and Undermine Righteous Dominion

Chris Hume — Sat, 03 May 2025 20:09:29 +0000

The Lancaster Patriot recently reported the Senate’s 49-49 deadlock, failing to overturn President Trump’s 10% baseline tariffs, a decision that risks economic disruption. As a theonomist, I view this as more than a policy misstep—it is a failure to align with biblical principles, judged by God’s revealed Word. Tariffs are forced taxation—a coercive act that must be weighed against biblical…
