    For Sincere Inquisitors ONLY: MAD Explained

    The everlasting Gospel is preached to Gentiles in Revelation 14:6. $$ Re 14:6 And I saw another angel fly in the midst of heaven, having the everlasting gospel to preach unto them that dwell on the earth, and to every nation, and kindred, and tongue, and people, I wonder if it's related to the...

    For Sincere Inquisitors ONLY: MAD Explained

    So therefore in Revelation 14:6 the everlasting Gospel being proclaimed is Paul's Gospel, since it's preached to Gentiles, Gentiles being a subset of all people.

    Constitutional Monarchy

    It does if that constitution (the same legal standard) explains it. Yes. And the answer is found in the constitution in question itself, either explicitly or implicitly. I again remind that the Catholic Church's constitution, for comparison, suggests that the pope is judged by no man. This...

    Trump's Iran "Deal"

    It was not commonly known before President Trump's joint action with Israel against Iran, how easy it is for Iran to defend the Strait. It would take an occupation of Iran to dislodge them. Trump for almost 10 years has been saying the rest of the West needs to pony up much more defense...

    Is The Physical Realm Analogous To A Simulated Reality?

    Vlad I've seen the Matrix movie and I've also seen the Sixth Sense movie, and I think your position on this matter reminds me more of the Sixth Sense, that we are dead people, and we don't know, or forgot, that we're dead. Paul here would be telling us dead people to refrain from sin and...

    The lying media

    That's part of the problem. Another part is omission. Kyle Rittenhouse is never mentioned in Leftist journalism at all, and so it's even more effective that whenever they do (rarely) mention him, they describe him haphazardly and hint that he's some kind of criminal, rather than as an innocent...

    I'm Starting To Like This Trump Fellow

    Dollars to donuts, they're projecting, in whatever complaint they're making, they're guilty themselves of it. They are guilty of animus, and arbitrariness. Whatever they're accusing the Right of, you can bet they are guilty of it instead. That's pretty consistent; you can expect that.

    Is The Physical Realm Analogous To A Simulated Reality?

    What I'm saying is that Colossians 3 reads like we're not dead in either the spiritual (contra the prima facie interpretation of the text) or the physical realm (it is apparent we're not physically dead), unless we can be spiritually dead but keep having to remember to live as if we are...

    Constitutional Monarchy

    So the real question is, What would be the secular equivalent? the kind of act by an absolute monarch that would be parallel to a pope teaching manifest heresy? What would be so clear and unambiguous that the king would be understood to have ipso facto vacated or forfeited the throne, even when...

    Is The Physical Realm Analogous To A Simulated Reality?

    What's interesting is that he seems to be saying our being dead is metaphorical and not metaphysical, since if it was metaphysical, there would be no need to write Colossians 3, since it seems to be holding our hands as we navigate being dead. Being dead doesn't seem to work that way in...

    Is The Physical Realm Analogous To A Simulated Reality?

    Real is to me binary, it's either fully, 100%, infinitely real, or it's the opposite, completely fake and made up and imaginary. There is no in between, so God is real, and the physical realm is real, both are equally real. When we talk about the metaphysics of the physical realm and God, then...

    I Lived Through Collapse. America Is Already There.

    You agree they fund and arm militias who seem hellbent on killing Israelis, yes? You agree Israel are our friends? and not our enemies? yes?

    Constitutional Monarchy

    In Catholicism if a pope teaches manifest heresy he's considered to have vacated his office and is no longer pope. The college of bishops have the authority to remove a man who is not the pope from the pope's quarters. It's a quite orderly process.
