A Personal Library Recommendation- 'Body of Divinity'

Thomas Watson's 'Divinity' is a beautiful text for systematic theology. I think Watson's method does more and less than conform to; "Systematic theology focuses on a particular doctrine and demonstrates it from the text". Watson's expository writing uses copious Biblical citations, yet it isn't to propound a particular doctrine. Instead his purpose is simply to illuminate the gospel and the meaning of scripture Old and New Testaments. One could write a paper on Watson's Systematic Theology, yet it is a systematic theology a posteriori rather than by design or intention. I don't think that Watson intended too much to write a systematic theology at all. The hundreds of sermons on the Bible and what can be known/inferred of God just compiled as a sum-over-history of the main points of what may be an implicit theology of the Bible...if Theologian A writes his best theological abstract of the Bible, and theologian B and C...Z write their's, isn't there still an inherent Biblical theology that can be found and that all of the theologians are trying to encapsulate? Perhaps that would be comparable to dozens of dialects and accents of one language.

Watson's book was written about 400 years ago. It has a few physics concepts that are obsolete, yet that will happen to most of the physics ideas held now eventually. The word of God remains the same however.

Alaska Legislature Flares Gas Again

How many decades has the legislature flared gas on building a gas pipeline in order to channel pork to consultant friends or get kickbacks from the oiled? This most recent flare up appears more of the same. The difference is that with gas prices dropping due to fracking and plentiful national supply the credibility of building a pipeline through Canada is non-existent. The best policy would be for the state to withdraw from the Alaska-Exxon LNG Canadian Jobs Bill directly.

Careful analysis of a chess game situation indicates the correct way to respond to a challenge from the opponent. Building a gas pipeline with state of Alaska economic leadership requires careful economic analysis. Building a pipeline in Alaska is requisite for any state participation for a number of strong reasons. For one any pipeline in Canada places the Alaska product at the mercy of the Queen's minions-are Alaskan politicians so tame as to want to be subjects to a foreign power and pay for it themselves?

http://juneauempire.com/state/2015-03-03/limits-proposed-gas-line-group-alternate-project

For state politicians to let Exxon and big oil make them a cat's paw with promises so far that the state provides subsidies is awesomely stupid. Consider empirical economic facts concerning Alaska and China as the probable long-term export market with its world-leading contribution to global warming from greenhouse gases-mainly coal fired power plants that may be replaced quicker with natural gas plants until hydrogen fuel cells, solar, wind and fusion power sources arrive along with superconductors and additional new technology. The state legislature should just focus on getting an in-state pipeline from the slope to Cook Inlet built within three years.

Though the state cannot get anything done in three years-its a nice political dream.  

Republicans vs the Underverse Again in 2016

Since Ronald Reagan the United States has had three consecutive Presidents (not counting the transitional 41) representing development of an Underverse Party. The Underverse has few moral reservations beyond personal or class egoism. International political or economic competence aren't required for the job. Nephews, brothers, spouses and sons of are favored Presidential nominees. The poor may always be trimmed to bring the federal budget into balance, while contracts and weapons to kill foreigners can enhance the corporate and government class portfolio. Cheap illegal labor can be imported...etc.

It is remarkable how few politicians seem to have any sense of how to work for the general good of society rather than simply narrow partisan if not special interests. Working against party enemies seems the purpose of modern political activity. The concept of objective and independent reasoning about what is required to make the nation and population flourish within a health and security ecosphere is nearly non-existent.

Youth and the intellectually challenged may work for the pecuniary remunerative enhancement of social credit accounts of course. political leaderships should have some sort of larger vision though about matters such as value theory, the place of the environment in the world and enough political philosophy to get beyond cold war era theory.

Achieving the election of a race, gender or perversion preferred candidate is no substitute for political competence. While party interests may rise the ship of state may subside. The danger is that with the rise of an Underverse platform it may be exported and forced on other nations. The international relations incompetence of U.S. administrations of since the 20th century turned should never be misunderestimated.

Before the Spanish American war swelled Presidents and Congress the U.S.A. never had been in a foreign war of significance (not counting the counter-Mexican invasion). After that the clever British induced America to get involved in a continental European war twice and a cold war ensued. During the Bolshevik revolution the U.S.A. even sent 2000 soldiers to Russia to support the white army at war against the red army. U.S. Presidents are fundamentally idiots looking out more for British rather than national interests disregarded George Washington's farewell address comments entirely.

Consider U.S. history with Iran and Iraq. Iranian history is one with three or four parts of society holding power one at a time. The least powerful element was that of ordinary people. Military supporting royals or theocrats could rule yet the ordinary people aspired for democracy. When they finally achieved that in 1953 the U.S. led coup to get rid of the Prime Minister and restore a monarch gutted democratic aspiration. Then after decades of repressive aristocratic rule supported by the U.S. Government the left supported Khomeini to get rid of the monarch and SAVAK-the secret police. So once again the United States was involved on both sides of anti-democratic power struggle in Iran-is it any wonder that many  Iranians regard the U.S.A. as the great Satan-especially the Underverse party with homosexual marriage and abortion?

The British had invested in exploiting Iranian resources for quite a while and were peeved when the Iranians expropriated 'their' oil fields. Since then the United States has again been involved in a fairly unreasoned effort to follow up on a neo-colonial state's relationships that went bad. That occurred in Vietnam too with the French being that former colonial power.

With Iraq formerly being under British rule after the first world war it was inevitable I suppose that after the cold war ended Iran and Iraq would be incited to have a bloody war. Eventually of course the United States got involve and spent trillions of dollars rebuilding Iraq rather stupidly-it was supposed t cost just 50 billion dollars. Iraq was not a Germany or japan willing to join the western fold after defeat. Instead the principal of Islam asserted itself and a decade of civil conflict in Iraq enhanced by the Obama administration stimulating Arab Spring conflicts leading to attack upon the Syrian and Libyan governments has brought protracted conflict and the proliferation of Middle East sourced terrorism.

The Middle East seems to be a dog fighting political ecosystem that in the absence of the big dog of direct American power fights against its own for scraps of power and privilege. One must be somewhat naive to think that Iraqis will soon well govern themselves civilly with democracy and that it won't require the big dog to kick any challengers.

Thus one could even wonder if the efficient policy might not be to let all the conflicting parties kill one another without material support from the U.S.A. and then napalm the winners. Christians can't follow such policies of course, yet such circumstances might never occur if American Presidents were good leaders environmentally, politically and comprehended modern things such as full employment, secure borders, career employment security and space colonization in a green way.

Plainly a moral restoration needs to occur in the U.S.A. However with the wedding of Republican corporatists to the Underverse possibly ahead if Justices Cagney, Ginsberg et al vote for homo marriage, it would be challenging to bring that about.

Replacing Barbaric Abortion With Fetal Exfiltration (a theoretical paradigm)

Thomas Hobbes' financial success with biodegradable shampoo bar soap so gentle on hair enabled him to bring an end to the murder of the unborn-a savage, primitive procedure developed in the United States that enabled women to flush their responsible for pregnancy and moral integrity along with their conscience. Thom Hobbes agreed with Watson-'Quamdiu vivet crescit; life is never done growing' .Hobbes's love for the female gender motivated his quest for a medical procedure to exfiltrate unwanted fetuses instead of murdering them with barbaric osterization or suction. He was successful in the enterprise.

Hobbes found a pioneering surgical inventor that created an efficient way of exfiltrating a fetus and relocating it to a micro-microbiological storage vessel. His appeal to women to give up the barbaric, unconscionable slaughter of the innocents was made easier with evidence that the unborn could be made to learn chess-and much more with in utero signaling input. To murder thinking beings-even physically humble beings-made even the heartless think twice about killing someone that was somewhat of a sentient peer.

Hobbes was able to save hundreds of thousands of unborn humans in his cryo-containers sent to a long-term cryo-storage facility deep in a lunar crater with a constant near absolute zero temperature where they would wait to repopulate Eartha or a comparable human-friendly environment if the unthinkable disaster of complete eco-collapse decimated the world. Occasionally there were couples seeking children of their own that were given permission to adopt a fetus.

Hal had been the prototype for fetal chess instruction, and was the first to be placed in an Eartha orbiting defense pod. His infantile mind was able to discern regular from anomalous synthetic waveform arrivals and sort through possible attacks upon the world's computational architecture with the objective immunity of pure bioware for-itself and for-others.

Orbiting Baby Grandmasters of Planetary Defense (science fiction)

When the International financier Thom Hobbes expanded the sales of Traveller’s Shampoo Bar Soap™ to the billions of recently mobile unwashed unwilling to put liquid shampoo in their rucks before setting out across deserts and pampas to labor sweltering in cities his ability to fund a constellation of glistening space orbs advertising Shampoo Bar Soap increased with his billions of rubles. In months Eartha was orbited by encapsulated defense wombs for nurturing the first line of malware defense.

In the midst of 14 feet of solid ice; frozen heavy water, the waveform series of encrypted protocols barely reach the awareness field of the chess baby. Distant galactic patterns were black neutrinos and white photons impressed upon the baby's brain where implicit grandmaster programs sifted through countless permutations searching for incipient rogue black hat program viruses in the quanta reaching across normal space and even through quantum no-space to infect the planetary systems circuitry of any sentient civilization in the line of communication. In the rotating spherical chess wombs brilliant babies destined for abortion were transported and given a home.

The chess babies trained from before birth with a constant stream of consciousness input of all historical chess games interpreting quantum logic reality until they became too old. Extended infantile consciousness perished around age three when the differences between mind as a game for-itself and empirical sensor awareness grew to present conflicting claims to thought. Babies aged beyond the purely computational and intuitive stage found it difficult to think solely to meet the extended reality where alien civilizations sending holistic malware across the Universe could be encountered. Alien malware could be encoded within the full spectrum of physical electromagnetic waveforms. Baby's brains needed to be adaptable without distraction by empirical concerns to meet any possible threats..

Sentient civilizations taking global A.I. systems with malware drew invaders to the new home even as machinery was converted to conform the world to alien design suitable for predators. The chess babies fought the takeover existing as coefficient of adversity to subdue in return for the conditioned response of nurturing game-piece love. Chess babies defended the Earth from alienware viruses until retirement to conventional human chess training around the age of four on the planet Eartha, in particular.

Hal the chess baby top I.Q. gun was elected most popular chess baby gunner by the computer network audience that carefully monitored his work knocking down alien viruses. Thus his transition to Moscba Chess Home for retired chess baby swag was easy enough; his many fans brought product endorsement opportunities and his likes continued to increase over the years that he lived in a sensory deprivation tank with nothing input to his electrodes besides chess games, chess theory and Youtube videos. When Hal reached the ripe old age of 18 his millions of fans insisted he take control of the Presidency of the World Chess Federation of Free Interesting Persons. He stood for election and upon taking office made his second retirement from chess having achieved a F.I.D.O. chess rating of 4000 surpassing by 1000 points the previous record holder Sicilia Gambit’s 2997 high mark.

From the WCFIP presidency to taking the Presidency of the Disunited States was just a matter of waiting for Hal. He still needed to wait until age 34 to be elected to make an imprint upon history on a larger scale. He would have live video trick streams of his work. Goading the newest social order into behavioral Utopian reconstruction was just a matter of chess. Through the darkest hours of the soul anyone could think of chess openings and know that once they were to start the game would be finished one way or another. Mankind need to learn not to cheat. It would be possible to overcome the impossible. Chess baby felt his sense of destiny and knew the Lord was providential for all; the good , the bad and the ugly. Hal would kiss even the ugly among his adoring fans.

In his years of chess and Youtube training immersed in a sensory deprivation tank Hal learned the principles of good government that would keep civilization from dying. A balanced budget, living within one's means, traditional moral norms without slippage into the dark side of the force, maintaining public infrastructure, quality mass public education, secure borders, adequate taxation on the rich, civil rights for individuals with equal protection of law; these principles were constant requisites akin to operating systems parameters required for human health. Too high of blood pressure, too little food or too much, excess high or low temperatures, etc-such fundamental principles that continued too much time bring sickness and death. In the course of human civilizations that fell exceeded or failed to continue within the healthy political habitation boundaries. Yet Hal found they also perished from aggressive war, too great of territorial expansion and most notably, invasive species. In Hal's life the malware of invasive species had never stopped assault upon Eartha's computational artificial intelligence networks. The defense of Eartha A.I. systems from alien takeover was Hal's primary reason for seeking the leadership of the survivors of the temporary collapse of Eartha's ecosphere as President of the Disunited States.

The Way I See It (Ukraine, Billary Clinton-Anglo Continentalism, Anti-Christianity)

 When the Clinton-era military-industrial war machine took on Serbia it also derailed post-war reconstruction of east-west relations. Eliminating democide was necessary yet a bureaucracy formed that continued to attack Russians, Eastern Slavs, orthodox Christians and build up Muslim terrorism that was far more subdued when President Reagan left office.

The way I see it the Obama administration and the Democrat Party went farther over toward the dark side of the force the past seven years continuing a journey into immorality and evil started by the Clinton administration. The ambiguous, confused foreign policy is a product of the amoral confusion and perverse view of reality.

Democrat party theory coheres within not only moral relativism, it regards psychological and epistemological relativism as true so far as do deny objective facts and history. The consequences of such a political theory are to incapacitate politics except for the regression of evil and acceleration of moral decline while the middle class have experienced about a $2500 drop in average annual income and the poor and been erased from the picture entirely as poor as been redefined to mean illegal immigrants and undocumented aliens. As President Obama himself so often declares his membership in the rich class, the wealth of the rich has increased steadily with an economic policy consisting of zero interest loans to wealthy banks and buying up bad debt of wealthy banks.

The collapse of Democratic belief in objective reality is obviously inconsistent; while reality is regarded as being as phenomenal and conditional as quantum uncertainty and holography reinforced through arts and media the allegiance to partisan class interests of gender, perversion and ethnicity is paramount. Social reality hence transcends the collapse of objective reality though the principles of unbelief in physical reality and causality objectively conditions party politics too. The practical result of that is the concentration of wealth and lost regulatory grip on Wall Street, banking and globalism. The Democrat Party of yore traded its inheritance for a mess of pottage.

The failure to regard objective reality in a realistic way that categorizes physics theories to contrast with shared experience empirical reality is an abnegation of political responsibility. Though the long term trend for the economic and social equalization of individuals in the United States was an inherent element of the American experience, with the collapse of the wave train of democracy to become a spent wave in an age of fracture economic class disparity increases and even becomes a factor of social economic apartheid where economic class replaces race as the social boundaries on Earth.

Reductionism in science has generated a reductionism in the human spirit and competent capacity for social political common sense. Neuroscience has discovered so many elements of the brain and mind biological operating systems that the very existence of an holistic soul is rather eclipsed with disbelief. It is as if theorists discovering the functions and parts of an automobile in some primitive society discounted the ability of the car to actual drive anyplace at the will of a driver; as if knowledge of all of the parts made free will for motion in use impossible.

At the end of the cold war the ongoing conflict in Serbia brought confusion and uncertainty into post-cold war reconstruction of relations between the United States, Europe and Russia. With a terrible ethnic war in the midst of Europe it was necessary to intervene to halt the conflict and continue reconstruction of a post-cold war new world order. Unfortunately the unimaginative dullard bureaucrats of the Clinton administration continued the new bureaucratic inertia not to resume as if the Serbian intervention had not happened and built a health East-West social economy, instead the blind moles of bureaucracy followed the Von Clinton plan to begin the annexation of as much of Russia to the west. In 1994 a weak Boris Yeltsin (weak for too many reasons to mention here) signed away the Ukraine from the Soviet Union under heavy influence from the Clinton administration with its inherited cold war N.A.T.O. powers recently demonstrated by General Clarke in the cruise missile attacks on Serbia. Billary Clinton-an Anglophile Oxford alumnus swinger probably was pressurized by 10 Downing Street to help increase its continental land commercial advantages (Ukraine) in the long run, and that trend continues today as the Brits seek to restore as much of their lost global empire advantages through commercial power as possible.

The age of fracture approach to let the U.S. military and blind mole bureaucracy of military-industrial, media, Hollywood propaganda machine create a new long-term cold war with Russia in favor of a British led, neo-fascist immoral godless, homosexual marriage, feminist expansion through intimidation while arming Muslim radicals worldwide is not a wise policy. Age of fracture feminists tend to view their own class interests myopically and transpose their ideals for feminist supremacy and degradation of males with psychological reductionism upon every place on Earth. It is an unrealistic policy like so many others in the age of fracture that temporizes conflicts that never reach an end. In other words it is an inventive application of traditional original sin through other means.

Bill Clinton's Anglophile approach to foreign and domestic policy (he was thrilled about British Thermal Units) served the anti-Christian left that had been at war to purge public places of Christian symbols for decades and that continued through the Obama administration efforts to compel church organizations to pay for rubbers and even abortions. The long-range effort to degrade and corrupt Christianity accelerated with the taking of sides of Muslims against the militaristic Orthodox Christians of Serbia (that had been corrupted by decades of Communist indoctrination). President Clinton divided Orthodox Christians and Eastern Slavs from the west in effect from Serbia and along the Dnieper River Basin.

Degrading Christianity in America and the west with secularization and science reinforced with abundant media propaganda coinciding with maladroit yet well intentioned crank-science versions of creation (they should read my book 'Creation and Cosmos; The Literal Values of Genesis' for tips [it's free to download]) from evangelical Christians with a wrong-eschatology paradigm of ] continued through the 1990s and into the next millennium. Democrat administrations as well as the G.W. Bush administration built up Muslim fundamentalism and dumped weapons to the Middle East through a variety of means including support for insurrectionist movements (compare that with the comparative paucity of substantial Muslim terrorism before the Clinton administration circa 1990). The year 1994 saw the first W.T.C. bombing, Yeltsin giving up the Ukraine, the Waco burning of a Christian sect and children and continuing American-N.A.T.O. attacks on Serb Christians (perhaps nominal Christians). Though Americans too were nominal Christians historically the Democrat Presidents of late have continued to divide and conquer Christianity .

British leadership has been militant in the godless, atheist scientific imperialism that permeate the Clinton administration and shaped American foreign policy since. Sir Elton John was given a knighthood probably for being a militant advocate for queer marriage and for corrupting the United States. Advancing British imperialism through moral depravity, corruption of Church values so far as to advocate sin while reinforcing aggression against Orthodox Christians and Eastern Slavs in favor of British pug-nosed androgyny makes one wonder of Bill Clinton will be the next Bruce Jenner shrinking into the feminine mindset through ubiquitous social through control of a weak mind.

Christians are being purged from the Middle East as a result of the Democrat Party policy of anti-Christian godless atheism. Syria harbored many Christians and Coptic Christians are being beheaded also in Libya-a state the Obama administration 'liberated' with air assault and C.I.A. paramilitary help. Russian Christians are being rolled back east so British queer imperialism can expand continental commercial power over the Ukraine and elsewhere along the Dnieper.

The conceit of the left with ineffective neo-sophism about reality and sundry scientific theoretical world-views about human behavior as if they were rats incapable of reason destroys the political competence of political leadership. The polity is given media pablum and dissimulation yet they have tech toys and no moral boundaries except allegiance to secularist godlessness. Not only are they endangered for eternity as lost souls, the reduction of U..S. infrastructure and political incapability of fielding mass inventive applications of new technology undermines their personal and social environmental security.

Watson page 184 (Divinity) quote- “Christ took our flesh upon him, that he might take our sins upon him. He was, says Luther, maximus peccator, the greatest sinner, having the weight of the sins of the whole world lying upon him. He took our flesh that he might take our sins, and so appease God's wrath.

(3.) Christ took our flesh that he might make the human nature appear lovely to God, and the divine nature appear lovely to man.

(1:) That he might make the human nature lovely to God. Upon our fall from God, our nature became odious to him; no vermin is so odious to us as the human nature was to God. When once our virgin nature was become sinful, it was like flesh imposthumated, or running into sores, loathsome to behold. It was so odious to God that he could not endure to look upon us. Christ taking our flesh, makes this human nature appear lovely to God. As when the sun shines on the glass it casts a bright lustre, so Christ being clad with our flesh makes the human nature shine, and appear amiable in God's eyes.

(2:) As Christ being clothed with our flesh makes the human nature appear lovely to God, so he makes the divine nature appear lovely to man. The pure Godhead is terrible to behold, we could not see it and live; but Christ clothing himself with our flesh, makes the divine nature more amiable and delightful to us. We need not be afraid to look upon God through Christ's human nature. It was a custom of old among shepherds to clothe themselves with sheepskins, to be more pleasing to the sheep; so Christ clothed himself with our flesh,

that the divine nature may be more pleasing to us. The human nature is a glass, through which we may see the love and wisdom and glory of God clearly represented to us. Through the lantern of Christ's humanity we may behold the light of the Deity. Christ being incarnate makes the sight of the Deity not formidable, but delightful to us.

(4.) Jesus Christ united himself to man, ‘that man might be drawn nearer to God.' God before was an enemy to us by reason of sin; but Christ having taken our flesh, mediates for us, and brings us into favour with God. As when a king is angry with a subject, the king's son marries his daughter, and so mediates for the subject, and brings him into favour with the king again; so when God the Father was angry with us, Christ married himself to our nature, and now mediates for us with his Father, and brings us to be friends again, and God looks upon us with a favourable aspect. As Joab pleaded for Absalom, and brought him to King David, and David kissed him; so Jesus Christ ingratiates us into the love and favour of God. Therefore he may well be called a peacemaker, having taken our flesh upon him, and so made peace between us and his Father.”-end quote

Why Is Supporting the Islamic State Illegal?

Three men in Brooklyn were arrested for supporting the Islamic State; I must ask the why. Obviously I don't support the Islamic State, yet they seem to have as much right to revolt, plot and scheme to create a nation with their own regime as the Obama administration has in Syria. Equal protection of the law means that if the Democrat Party of today opposes the slavery of blacks a century and a half ago it cannot today support the wage slavery of whites.

President Obama decided for-himself to try to overthrow the Assad government of Syria-a legal government, and worked to that purpose three years with the result of more than a hundred thousand casualties. So where is the logic to support the concept that Washington D.C. or Harvard can subvert lawful governments yet desert rabble patching together an arsenal can attack lawful governments too? Is there a pirate's bible of illegal codes that determine who has the amoral right to subvert lawful governments or what the hierarchical ordinality is?

Plainly if one of the ISIS supporters planned to try to kill President Obama and not wait for his term expiration date that was unlawful according to U.S. law even though the U.S. government is plotting to kill ISIS leaders one would think. In time the world is supposed to have a majority of Christians that acknowledge Christ as their King. One planetary king of spirit worshipped with a priesthood of believers coinciding with global democracy.
