"For the first time in all those years she tasted the word King itself with all its linked associations of battle, marriage, priesthood, mercy, and power."
~C. S. Lewis
Constitutional monarchies often rank high in economic liberty, largely for one simple reason: because they are stable, property rights generally flourish. Of course, Britain and Canada are basically doomed.

JUST IN: Economic analysis of 64 countries finds that nations with more billionaires per capita tend to have fewer people living in poverty.
Reading George Gilder's Life after Capitalism. The man is a complete genius. Information is key (so many metaphysical implications to that). I remember years ago when he told the Moscow Mood men that we should honor our wives and treat them as humans. Then everyone started /1

Enoch was never mentioned at Nicaea, and nothing within the proceedings had to do with the canon โ omitting books or otherwise. If you want to know what DID happen at Nicaea, I travelled to Turkey and stood in the ruins of where the council met to tell that story. You can watch that here: youtu.be/lpsKNd8tqHI?si=TJlbโฆ.
With all due respect, whatโs wild is how silly this tweet is.

I think that version of populism was bad and maybe it died the other night. But the better question is what made it viable in the first place (Neocons, Globalists, etc). I do think conservatives need to go back to some form of a conservative/libertarian fusion. /1
Christian theology courses should include at least one class on "the invisible hand" under the section on Providence.

Lesslie Newbigin lamenting his seminary education:
"I had been surprised and shocked to find the whole area of the interior life, of the struggle to find and keep a steady discipline of prayer, meditation, and contemplation, wasโapparentlyโignored."

Dr. @CraigACarter1 offers a threefold assessment of the Westminster Standards and Three Forms of Unity:
"This is what opened me up to the Westminster Standards and the Three Forms of Unity as the best statement of Christian orthodoxy in history. The reformed confessions have three great strengths, in my view. First, they presuppose and are built on the Trinitarian and Christological orthodoxy of the early church, which makes them catholic. Second, they embody the great soteriological insight of the Reformation, justification by faith alone, which makes them โevangelical" in the oldest sense of the word, that is, the sense in which it was used in seventeenth century continental contexts as meaning protestant. Third, they are pre-modern confessions rooted in pre-modern classical philosophical assumptions such as realism and therefore are not corrupted by the acids of modernity, such as nominalism, voluntarism, materialism, skepticism, and relativism, that have virtually destroyed the mainline, liberal, Protestant denominations. The reformed confessions retain a vital connection with historic orthodoxy and provide the basis for churches that wish to avoid being corrupted by philosophical naturalism, epistemological skepticism, and critical theory. To the chagrin of its critics, the Presbyterian Church of America is growing and flourishing despite being rooted in a premodern confession. We need to stop finding this somehow surprising. The sturdy orthodoxy of the Great Tradition will certainly outlive Western modernity."

Because it's stupid at best and blasphemous at worst. Jesus really had to tell the confused angels to stand down as if they didn't know exactly what was going on? And this is the best weaponry the angels could come up with?
Since angels can look like anything, and creativity is the goal, when are Larry Boy and Bible Man gonna get the representation they deserve? They're at least tangentially associated with Christianity.
If we're being "creative" with it, why not have them all dressed up as Delta Force operators at least? Or a legion of LCpls on RipIts? Why is is tonto, wakanda, and crouching tiger hidden dragon? Why are the village people coming to save Jesus? Why did the Avenger's C-Team have to step up and arrive late to the party?

Britain ended slavery at a huge financial cost:
I know this about plasma fields several years ago. Apply that to outer space and you get something like principalities and powers.
๐จBREAKING๐จ: Scientist says the sun may be conscious, intelligent plasma clouds may transmit semantic information across outer space, and ball lightning seems to behave intelligently, mimicking biological life.
Rupert Sheldrake, a biologist known for constructing morphic field theory, which involves inherited learning across generations of species beyond genetics and epigenetics, says organized plasma might support a mind without a brain. He points to magnetic plasma filaments stretching between galaxies and describes a theory from independent researcher Robert Temple: a cloud at the L5 Lagrange point between the Earth and Moon might be intelligent enough to return radio signals seconds after transmission (explaining the โLong Delay Echoโ phenomenon in the early 20th century at the advent of the radio).
Sheldrakeโs other investigations into morphic fields, consciousness outside the body and โthe sense of being stared atโ have drawn attention from British intelligence. He has long documented the idea of โscopeasthesiaโ (the sense of being stared at) by subjects in controlled experimental conditions. He says a visitor from MI5, Britain's domestic intelligence agency, asked whether terrorists could learn to sense security cameras.
His theory of morphic resonance goes further, proposing that nature inherits patterns of behavior across time and distance. Sheldrake cites rat water-maze studies in which rats at Edinburgh and Melbourne began at the level reached by Harvard rats after generations of โtrainingโ to follow the correct route in a maze. He interprets this as possible evidence of shared memory. To illustrate how invisible fields can influence chance, he uses magnets to change the distribution of steel balls falling through a Galton board.
Sheldrake wants practical tests of these unusual abilities. He proposes a global app collecting reports of strange animal behavior before earthquakes, and is surveying firefighters who say they wake moments before unpredictable alarms. He believes he can construct a workable model for presentiment that may become practical for specific use cases.
