day no. 16,677: single or sundry?

"Pluralism is just the political name for what in theology is called polytheism. And Christians are not polytheists, or at least they didn’t used to be. The Christians of the future won’t be, at any rate." -- Douglas Wilson, Trump, NFTs, Fremdschämen, and More

Pluralism is polytheism. You cannot have competing gods of the system without having competing gods. And if we learned anything from our mythologies, there is never enough room in the kitchen for multiple chefs. You cannot have more than one god without having at least one duel to the death. You cannot have multiple ultimates. Those who multiply gods multiply sorrows and those who cannot be satisfied by a single God cannot be satisfied by sundry gods.

"Whoever thinks one God too little, will find two too many, and yet hundreds not enough." -- Mathew Henry

Christianity cannot be re-branded to meet the new DEI requirements. It cannot remain Christianity and compromise on the matter of Christ's assertion of unilateral authority (Matt. 28:18-20). The Kingdom of Christ will cover the world as the waters cover the sea, but it will never have more than one throne.
