Christopher Yuan suggests that when we get asked by pro-abortionists “How many children have you fostered/adopted”, we should respond with the question “how many babies have you murdered,” It sounds at first like a witty retort to what has been seen as a witty retort to the pro-life argument. However, I think it ultimately fails. … Continue reading Abortion and the adoption question: A better answer

Are Evangelicals attracted to same sex attraction? Defending Living Out
Aaron Edwards was infamously dismissed by Cliff College for a tweet claiming that homosexuality was invading the church. Now, there is much to discuss there in terms of whether Edwards’ language was an example of robust plain speaking or clumsy and unhelpful. There is also the issue of free speech, especially for academics. However, in… Continue reading Are Evangelicals attracted to same sex attraction? Defending Living Out
Jesus and the death penalty
The other day, I started to reflect on the question of whether a Biblical worldview requires us to support the death penalty. I concluded that it does not One argument missing from my case but used sometimes by opponents of capital punishment is that Jesus has taken the penalty of death on himself at the… Continue reading Jesus and the death penalty
Is Climate alarmism dangerous?
London Seminary seem to think so. They’ve invited Dr Paul Mills to lecture on its dangers, particularly to Christian unity this June. Now, I don’t know if London Seminary are going to provide an alternative viewpoint to counter Dr Mills but if I were to respond, it would be a follows. Stay in lane I… Continue reading Is Climate alarmism dangerous?
Does a Biblical worldview require the death penalty?
The understandable response from some people to the horrific attack in Belfast on the 8th June and the reporting of the trial of Henry Nowak’s killer has been to call for a return of the death penalty. I say “understandable” because I can fully grasp why for many that is the gut response. I share… Continue reading Does a Biblical worldview require the death penalty?
Subversive fulfilment and the bit that Christian Nationalism omits
The kind of nationalism we see expressed in Raising the Colours and Unite the Kingdom expresses genuine desires. We sometimes identify those desires in terms of identity, comfort and security We see the need for identity when people look for a cause to belong to and a nation that they can be proud of.

What do Restore Britain really stand for and why are Christian Nationalists supporting them?
I’ve seen a few comments from Christians, particularly those identifying as Christian Nationalists promoting Restore Britian as the political party to get behind. This, by Aaron Edwards, is a more extensive treatment of the subject than the usual social media comments. The basis for this is that Lowe has talked about a return to Christian… Continue reading What do Restore Britain really stand for and why are Christian Nationalists supporting them?
The facts relating to the Henry Nowak case (2) What is the law in relation to arrest and handcuffing?
I thought it was worth going a little further in attempting to provide some of the factual foundations that need to underpin a discussion both about the Henry Nowak case and the broader circumstances including discussions about policing practices and especially allegations of “two-tier policing” targeting white British people. Ian Paul has written on his… Continue reading The facts relating to the Henry Nowak case (2) What is the law in relation to arrest and handcuffing?
Restore Britain on religious freedom
Rupert Lowe posted the following on Facebook. I would like to make the following brief observations. 1. The reasons are to do with cultural nationalism not safety. The issue is whether or not they are “British”. 2. That included in their list is “kosher” food. At least there is consistency here. Most people who talk… Continue reading Restore Britain on religious freedom
We don’t all have a Nineveh
I want to pick up on a point that came up in a recent conversation I had following the latest Unite the Kingdom rally. Someone suggested that we should learn from the story of Jonah. Perhaps those on the marches were like the Ninevites and needed someone to go to them. I suggested that there… Continue reading We don’t all have a Nineveh
