Jesus and Paul both tell us that revelation has not ended

"I have said these things to you while still with you; but the Paraclete, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, will teach you everything..." John 14

"All of us once lived among them in the passions of our flesh, following the desires of flesh and senses, and we were by nature children of wrath, like everyone else. But God, who is rich in mercy, out of the great love with which he loved us even when we were dead through our trespasses, made us alive together with Christ... and raised us up with him and seated us with him in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus,so that in the ages to come he might show the immeasurable riches of his grace in kindness toward us in Christ Jesus.... For we are what he has made us, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand to be our way of life." Ephesians 4

God the Holy Spirit is always teaching the faithful. 

This is how we get to equality of women. Zero tolerance for racist ideas. Striking bigotry from our hearts and minds. Recognizing the validity of people who are gay, lesbian, trans, etc. 

And, apparently, good works are also a must do.

All this sounds like a kingdom of heaven. So many of you replace it with hate.

The Charlie Kirk known, not deified by brutalists

“ The day Charlie Kirk was killed, Dominic Durant’s 11-year-old daughter came home from her middle school in Tulsa, Okla., and told her father that her friends had been very upset about his death, and that they felt she should be upset, too. “I’m sad,” she said, tears in her eyes. Durant struggled with how to respond. He, too, had been appalled by the act of violence. But his young daughter did not know much about Kirk, and he worried she would look him up on YouTube and come across the many ugly assertions the right-wing activist had made about Black Americans like them. For instance, Kirk had claimed that four prominent and successful Black women, who all went to Ivy League universities — Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson, the former first lady Michelle Obama, the TV host Joy-Ann Reid and former Representative Sheila Jackson Lee of Texas — did not “have the brain processing power to otherwise be taken really seriously” and had to “go steal a white person’s slot.”   He’d argued that “...
