Attending Abolitionist Events Will Change Your Life!

No, the High Places Remaining Under Asa’s Reign is NOT an Endorsement of Incrementalism.

God’s commands against partiality are right and true, so the argument goes, but engaging in partiality… Continue reading No, the High Places Remaining Under Asa’s Reign is NOT an Endorsement of Incrementalism.
Four Reasons for Abolitionists to Attend Pro-Life Rallies

But because of popular, pro-life mythology, it is less well-known that he is also one of the most prolific anti-incrementalists in history.
