Ok, in the final apocalyptic battle of doom, who would win? Puritans or Ninjas? Discuss.

Puritans, hand's down. No katana can cleave the armor of God, and no bamboo armor can stop a musket ball.

Ha, both are sissies.

Puritans wear wigs (powdered ones too!) and Ninjas wear their hair in a bun.....ah, how cute!
 
Depends on the type of confrontation. The dishonorable ninja assasin would most likely just sneak in under cover of darkness and stab said puritan in the back. However, in a face to face confrontation the puritan would most likely just shoot the ninja down with out blinking and then go smoke a pipe read Scripture and have a beer.
 
the Hillbilly Ninjas are by far the most notorious!

A highly reasoned argument Pergy. But the ninjas hide knives and things in their hair. I had to vote ninjas.

Oh,

It's a little noticed fact that in the famous portrait of Jonathan Edwards in his powdered wig, if you look closely enough, you can see a throwing stair tucked away behind his left ear. He also wrote a treatise on Bushido.


P.s. why the serious look in your new avatar! Where's the smile?
 
I'm hiding a knife in my teeth Pergy. It makes it very awkward to smile.

Ruben thought I looked very formidable in that photo. I had hoped to intimidate people with it.
 
What if the Ninja's were members of "The Korean American Presbyterian Church"? :smug:

Then they have an identity crisis. Ninja's are Japanese.

But just as Puritanism can transcend culture so can the sacred art of the Ninja.

So the point still stands: What if the Ninja's were members of "the Korean American Presbyterian Church?" :D

Puritanism doesn't transcend culture, it creates culture. And, since Ninja's are the result of a Shintoist culture, the ninjas in the church you describe would, through faithful necessity, beat their throwing stars into plowshares and become Puritans. So, once again, the Ninja's lose and Puritanism wins!

So there.

Ah, but Puritanism comes from a Biblical worldview and a Biblical worldview translates itself into other cultures. This is one of the big differences between Islam and Christianity. Thus, while Puritans were the result of their European/North American culture translated and reformed by biblical teaching, Ninja's from the Korean Presbyterian Church of America could also be the result of various cultural influences reformed and shapen by a Biblical worldview.

Nay, the point doesn't stand at all. You are now asking if Reformed Christians would, through the transformation of culture, put aside their biblical worldview and cream the **** out of each other. This is the flaw of your position, for the Ninja- which is based on an unbiblical worldview, would cease to exist under the triumphant worldview of Christ risen and become Puritan. Thus the Puritan wins through absorption.

So there.

The Puritans, too, were children of their culture. And ninjas did their fair share of culture-shaping.

And now millions of women in the mslms world even follow Ninja fashion sense and dress in black from head to toe...



Ninjas - not only culture-makers, but fashionistas too!
