“What Is Man” discusses the definition of man, highlighting various philosophers’ definitions. Plato considered humans rational souls and Descartes' thought man was a thinking substance. Most definitions focus on man’s physical features yet cannot help but take notice of our uniqueness compared to other forms of creation. However, in this essay it is demonstrated we cannot understand the natur...

The essay “The Great Unresolved Miscalculation That Condemns Many”, explores the theological tension between human worth, divine justice, and salvation, contrasting two views: humans have innate worth as God's image-bearers but face hell due to unrepentant sin, or humans must earn value through good works. Scripture, particularly Genesis 1:26-27 and Psalm 8, affirms intrinsic human worth roote...

"The Spiritual State Party" discusses the inherent limitations and issues within political parties and the state. It argues that political parties, regardless of their orientation, only modify the state within predefined limits and fail to address the root problems. The state is portrayed as inherently parasitic, benefiting from the productivity of others without contributing value. The...

The idea of human free will and God’s Omniscient Power have never been easy to reconcile. The existence of evil and human accountability were along debated subjects, but a less debated but perhaps more problematical dilemma is predestination and the freedom of man. In this essay, “How God Predestines Us”, the author looks at some clear and uncontroversial scriptural versus to make sense of what he...

“What Is Better Than Gold” explores the concept of money, its characteristics, and its role in the economy. What Is Better Than Gold discusses the nature of money, explaining that it is an asset that can be divided into convenient units of value and is owned by someone who sells or lends access. The document discusses the challenges of debt repayment, the limitations of using gold as money, and th...

“A Private Message for Christians” challenges modern believers to reevaluate what it truly means to live out their faith. It argues that many churches focus too heavily on baptisms and attendance numbers while neglecting the second part of the Great Commission: teaching obedience to Jesus' teachings. Christianity, according to the text, must be more than spiritual sentiment—it must be practica...

"Three Questions That Frighten Christians" explores three fundamental questions that Christians often avoid: what is this reality outside of Eden, where do we go when we separate from the world of sin, and how do we achieve perfection if we are sinners in a world of sin? Christians need to separate themselves from the fallen world and strive for spiritual maturity and perfection, as the...

There is a sharp line of demarcation between a workable civilization and a country in decline. It is a knife edge that divides a workable system and one that is autophagic. The success of a civilization is the difference between consumption and investment or even a profit and a loss. The more parasites, the more consumption eats into your future, until there is no future.

If we look at ten different trends as separate problems, we will never find a solution. We will find they are interrelated and as we try and fix one, we impact the other nine in unwanted ways. But if these problems are all interrelated they all come from the same source. When we start to deal with the single causative factor, we find we can eliminate all ten issues at the same time.

There is only one reason why you think the situation is complicated, and that is because if you understood how simple things really were, you would no longer consent to being exploited and what you have been taken from you. If you are productive, you are a host to a very aggressive and successful parasite. And that is all you really need to know about all these problems that appear intransigent. T...

The document explores the concept of the church, emphasizing that it is not merely a physical building or an assembly of people in pews, but rather a community of believers in Jesus Christ. It highlights various aspects of the church, such as being the body of Christ, a community of faith, and having both universal and local expressions. The church's mission is to glorify God, spread the Gospe...

“Doctrine Of The Two Races” discusses the concept of race. The author takes the position that humanity is divided into two distinct races. This division is not based on cultural, political, economic, or religious differences, but rather on a moral and logical separation between those of the flesh and those of the spirit, a division created by God. The two races are characterized by their inherent...

“God Created Evil But Did Not” explores the theological and philosophical debate surrounding the existence of evil and its relationship with God. It delves into various perspectives, including the idea that evil is not a distinct entity created by God but rather a result of free will and human choices. The document references biblical texts, such as Isaiah 45:7, and interpretations by theologians...

The Doctrine of the Three Generations outlines a recurring cycle in history based on three personality-driven political archetypes: First Generation (Liberal/Subsistence-based): Emphasizes equality and self-reliance but leads to stagnation; associated with tribal societies and early American settlers. Second Generation (Conservative/Industrialized): Fueled by surplus and hierarchy; drives innovati...

The essay argues that agorophobia, redefined as a fear of free markets and accountability, is a widespread, undiagnosed spiritual disease manifesting as evil, characterized by dependency on state intervention and moral immaturity. It posits that this illness is prevalent among both the dependent poor and the excessively wealthy, who rely on the state to sustain their lifestyles, and is exacerbated...

"Diversity Destroys Legitimacy" argues that diversity (for its own sake) undermines Western society's cohesion and legitimacy by introducing conflicting cultural values and identities. It challenges the claim that diversity strengthens society, asserting that the West's historical power derives from its cultural and technological advancements, that stem from a particular cultural...

The author views Africa's underdevelopment as a systemic disease rather than caused by external factors such as colonialism. The central issue is morality and the lack of a path to legitimate ownership. Disagreements about ownership lead to wars and inefficiency. Claims to resources often rely on force rather than on the exercise of legitimate ownership. Weak governments only increase anarchy,...

The Mechanics Of Rebirth explores the concept of spiritual rebirth and becoming a "new man" in Christian theology. It emphasizes that rebirth is not a mere upgrade of the old self but a profound transformation into a new creature, characterized by a renewed heart, Christ-like character, and a sense of eternal purpose. This process involves repentance, faith, regeneration, and ongoing san...

The essay explores both the tangible and intangible aspects of culture, emphasizing its role in shaping societies and reflecting human creativity. Material culture consists of physical artefacts like tools, buildings, and technology, while non-material culture includes beliefs, norms, language, and customs that influence thought and behavior. Language is highlighted as a key medium for communicati...

The essay critiques the modern conflation of the roles of evangelist and pastor roles, suggesting pastors overly focus on evangelism rather than deeper pastoral care, limiting their societal impact. It argues that the church has ceded its community role to the state, which inefficiently uses resources taken from the faithful. The "rise of the Right" is presented as a movement to reclaim...

If we give men power, they will use this power to gain more power. If we put men in charge of regulating the free market, it will cease to be driven solely by the supply and demand equation. These men will use the free market to give themselves an edge. There is a way to have an unregulated free market. However, we have to avoid supporting people, organizations, institutions and other social eleme...

Pan-scripturalism is a theological approach that treats the entirety of the Bible, from Genesis to Revelation, as unified, interconnected, and equally authoritative. It emphasizes the coherence of Scripture, where every verse and book contributes to the overarching narrative of God’s redemptive plan. Central principles include the unity of Scripture, the equal authority of all biblical texts, and...

This essay explores the relationship between humanity, the environment, and the concept of faith. It asserts that humans, unlike animals, are ill-adapted to survive in nature and must create environments tailored to their needs through cooperation. Cooperation is essential for human survival, but greed and corruption erode trust and faith in society. Without trust, systems and societies decay. The...

The text explores the compatibility of meritocracy with Christian values, arguing that the Bible supports the idea of rewarding individual effort, ability, and diligence. While Christians are equal as sinners and created in the image of God, this equality does not negate differences in performance and productivity. The Bible acknowledges and rewards faithfulness and diligence, aligning with merito...

Its more complicated than most Christians seem to understand. Turning the other cheek does not make a Christian a pacifist, nor is obedience the same as being empathetic. There is a far deeper meaning to the Scripture than what the churches tell us.
