Doug Wilson Says God Will Raise Up a New “Standard Bearer?”

This is right up there with Doug talking about a Christian prince when discussing Christendom 2.0. It's very odd. God was pretty clear that human monarchy is a very bad idea.

Dean so in the live chat yesterday I learned what people mean by patriarchy. I still don't see why people don't like it. But one thing I still don't understand what people on your channel are talking about is federal vision. What is it and why is it heretical

Maybe unpacking more than a handful of Doug’s words will help. Otherwise you might accuse someone of Hersey or folly without properly grasping their position. Like accusing the apostle Peter of denying justification by faith alone because of his short statement “baptism now saves you through Christ.” Some things take a bit more leg work to properly grasp and critique.

Hebrews 1:1-2 is a passage I used to reference when preaching the Gospel to Mormons because of their priesthood doctrines. Now, I believe it should be used to preach the Gospel to Theonomists, "biblical patriarchs," and anyone else that thinks God needs more "standard bearers." He doesn't, because of Jesus Christ. He is THE standard bearer. Period. Anyone that adds onto him is preaching another Gospel.

Thank you Dean.
I am nauseated and disgusted at the self righteous fear mongering of Doug Wilson. I am very aware of manipulation tactics courtesy of some dysfunctional relationships 🥴. Also, from spiritual abusive churches but they were hyper charismatic. Doug wants to be the spiritual intellectual 🧐 fear monger. But NO. We’re canceling him!!!!

Trump I suppose.

I'm not sure we want to use Judges for a standard of theology...

Also, Gideon, you mean the leader who created an idol and led the people astray?

Hello antichrist!

We do have a standard bearer and His name is Christ! Does Doug Wilson and the other theonomists not understand that Christ is the standard, and no person or society, no matter how "holy" they are, will ever reach the Holiness of Jesus?

See, this is what happens when a person makes the focus of their "evangelism" on transforming culture and making laws morally comfortable for Christians that live in Republican areas (because that's literally the only reason Christian nationalism exists). They inevitably make the Gospel of personal salvation of faith alone in Christ alone secondary in favor of a gospel societal change, and thus, lose their saltiness. This is similar to what a lot of progressive christians do with their emphasis on social justice and their de-emphasis on sound doctrine.

Our deliverance is ALREADY here! Jesus Christ!!

The man is not making any sense at all!

Sounds antichrist-ish. I fear Doug’s followers will jump right on board with the the Noahide laws, when they are enforced on a global scale.

This is so scary. Talk about endorsing an antichrist…. 😳 Let’s NOT.

This sounds like a description of the Antichrist. He is supposed to fool a lot of people. Who is to say that quite a few won't be Christians.

Nothing burger

So sad to see Voddie going this route with these guys.

Only Jesus can save us, yes... But Jesus uses pitiful, sinful men ALL THE TIME to - as flimsily as we might - hold a standard and lead others/the church... Was it a sin for the early church to "rally behind" Paul? What about Athanasius when he defended the Trinity? Martin Luther? Calvin? None of these men were perfect, obviously, but it's not sinful to say God raises up men to lead, and that we should be prepared to follow Godly leadership when He makes it manifest.

The “standard bearer” is possibly the Antichrist. This is part of his very strategy: prime people for a leader in every generation, and when the end does not happen, people scoff, and more go to hell.

Matthew 24.

My Premill tendencies are acting up, getting some red flag/alarm bells here.

🤦🏻‍♂️

Half way through this video and my first thought is “you mean….do you mean the Antichrist?” 😭😭😭

If you want the context to try and make this seem less crazy, you’re out of luck but the context is linked in the description. It doesn’t change what he said. He’s saying there is some type of heroic figure coming that Christians will be able to rally behind. That’s not in Scripture folks. Jesus is the only prophesied Hero like that.
