A Priesthood of Believers for a Troubled Era
While
the early church had its faults it did bring the gospel forward
through history. The
great commission advanced. It
would require a future, technologically advanced time for millions of
souls to gather into a priesthood of believers paradigm with simple
beginner, intermediate and elder ranks in one networked church. The
church would share membership, attendance, participation, sharing and
welfare networks, share traveler's lodging and even monastic retreats
and continuing adult instruction in the word of God.
Franchise
church outlets with a commercial priest sustaining himself and family
cannot serve as many as a priesthood of believers Christian meeting
on Saturday or Sunday with a catechism and worship training all
Christians for the priesthood. Standardizing catechism and worship
forms with some element of elective liturgical modules recognizing
select preferences for eschatological beliefs (i.e. pre-tribulation,
amillenial and post-tribulation) supported with social support
networking nationally would engender better professing, believing
Christian church members than the present bench-sitter with an upper
class Christian supervisor.

Timothy as
Paul’s ‘spiritual son’ and leader of the church at Ephesus
would have been reassured by what is in effect Paul’s living will
with instruction on how to proceed without the presence of the
Apostle. It is not certain that the immediate development of
particular forms of the church were to be taken as immutable for all
time. Like Paul’s criticisms of particular errorists the most
suitable structure for providing the gospel and practical Christian
organization for the time and foreseeable future would have been the
intention. Church organization probably should adapt to vast changes
in methods of social organization and innovate better priesthood of
believers’ structure.
Berkhof
writes that Paul wasn’t sure that Timothy would reach Rome before
he was executed and so made the letter such that it would comprise
adequate final words in leu.
In theory,
church offices that were exclusive and limited during the early
church before common literacy and when books were rare and
communication difficult, can be greatly increased in the contemporary
world. If in the first century one learned elder was needed, if there
are 100 learned elders in a church there isn't a reason they should
be excluded from holding the office of elder. It is as if an army
battalion could have just one corporal, one sergeant and perhaps two
officers and everyone else were privates. It is far better if all are
trained as active spiritual warriors and share church offices of
beginner, intermediate and elder with helpful standardized theology
formats. If all know the words to the gospel song then all should
sing; instead of just a soloist performing for an audience.
It may be
that John Bunyan’s book provides a kind of systems analysis
perspective upon the methods of operation that Satan employs to
corrupt the human soul. There is a sort of synoptic view of God’s
relationship to mankind provided in the ‘Holy War’ in allegorical
form. I think it quite useful to have a synoptic view on God’s
relationship to mankind especially concerning the assaults and
methods of operation used by the exteriority of evil implicit in the
works of the devil. Forewarned is forearmed. Defense is simpler when
one understands the reasons why the conflict is happening especially
as direct attack is made upon oneself and even one’s own thought.
As Bunyan wrote; the gunpowder of pride is an effective tool among
Satan’s repertoire of dirty tricks for subverting the human soul to
his advantage. I suppose the Evil one would line his pit with
trophies of souls in jars packed in and sealed with eternal doom.
God alone can save mankind.
God alone can save mankind.

Weaponized Wall Street and Artificial Intelligence
Artificial
Intelligence and U.S. Labor
Robots
that are life-like with artificial intelligence making them brighter
than the average human is at most semi-skilled and even skilled tasks
may appear in the job place within a decade. If one considers the
intelligence multi-tasking ans subconscious memory depths and
lexicons of humans and compares that to artificial intelligence
plainly the challenge for computer scientists in modeling algorithms
that perform job tasks equally well or better than human beings isn’t
too great. Robots with good AI will have the edge in the brave new
world of corporate business and finance.
A.I.
can be far more multi-lingual than human beings and plugged in to
network resources. Face recognitions scanners and vast d-base
resources along with advanced martial arts and weapons training will
permit safe arrests of anyone wanted. Judgment bots would have the
entire legal historical database of the world to draw on to make good
decisions, and never again would a wise-cracking store checker have
the opportunity to dis a customer processing through the line. In the
brave new world of A.I when humans are free to abuse opioids and
smoke marijuana all day on communist party paychecks, when work is
better expedited by artificial intelligence the last people to be
working outside government may be in the radio and broadcast news
business where it is nearly impossible to make A.I. systems with
use-truths, half-truths and untruth word spice to pack a little true
news content in.
Some
believe that quantitative trading programs have brought Wall Street
to be used as a weaponized economic tool for global conquest. Gone
are the days of nice capitalism when making things better and faster
than rivals was the main activity. In the days when individuals
patented new items (A.I. inventing will drive the rich to invent
their own inventing artificial intelligence system golden gooses to
provide golden eggs from an inexhaustible cornucopia) the entire free
market and corporate world was not yet networked and opened by a
tight group of investors. The media and politicians were not yet
generals seeking economic conquest of the world through financial
perfidy. Media pressure and sundry forms of sanctions, subterfuge and
actual military war. Governments have always had leadership seeking
expansion and conquest of new lands for natural resource acquisition.
Today though when the cold war has ended, and with the world and
markets networking and reducing to plutonomy, the actual global
output is just one total number that can’t actually be increased by
conquest of itself.
One
regional set of actors may be able to conquer another region with
violence and intimidation of course, yet that might actually reduce
global output of wealth and total wealth. Thus war through weaponized
syncretistic market finance seems to be a preferred application for
the most greedy M.B.A. types without a clue about the fundamental
problems that arise with one global market, little social
communications isolation and a demographic equilibrium moving to end
inequality geographically and reduce it to rational levels regarding
classes. A sort of universal economic suffrage being recognized as an
essential attribute of a human society, the idea is yet regarded as
one f the important pan-human planks (along with global warming
remediation and the stop-loss of eco-diversity, bio-diversity and
eco-habitat). Those exploiting Wall Street and other global markets
as a weaponized tool for conquest fundamentally expedite abstract
redistributionist goals of the communist party of Trotsky,Lenin , Mao
and others. With China owning at least 51% of foreign investments and
so much of the world population being subject to it, along with
investments in other nations, China logically should end up owning
most of Wall Street too through its entanglements with the corporate
elite.
Communist
China will have world rule thrust upon it by the greed of those
weaponizing Wall Street ironically, instead of through any desire of
its own. Human-like robots with artificial intelligence at low cost
to producers; even public domain A.I. regarded as safe to co-exist
with, will become ubiquitous globally and of course off-world even as
various cliques with material fetishes seek to enslave humanity to
the clock to compel rent paying, and while propaganda is mass
produced to prevent politically independent thought amidst humans.

Alaska Governor Goes to China to Plead for Communist Chinese Investment (build a gas pipeine)
Alaska politicians have just a two word vocabulary it seems; "oil, gas!". So Gov. Walker goes with Pres. Trump to China to plea with the Communist Chinese Government to put a vast pipeline into his gas field so the state can get royalties. No matter that the Chinese already have the Russians building a vast pipeline to suply the Chinese with gas. The world is awash in fossil fuels and the state of Alaska government envisions more and more use. Even Lisa Murkowski envisions a billion dollar jackpot for ANWR. Never a clue about anything modern like fuel cells, solar, wind and geothermal.
Maybe the Governor will ask for free Chinese Army guards to defend the pipeline. Some day that may happen. A principle of economics is that culture comes along with investment. Democrats might not mind socialist people's party supervision. Maybe the Chinese can supply school teachers, librarians and cheaper government workers too. They are said to be hard workers. Nothing like a do-it-yourself attitude.
http://www.ktuu.com/content/news/Walker-Trump-to-pitch-AKLNG-to-China-454789423.html
For many politicians, adult supervision means big oil and gas development, large SUVS and legal dope across the U.S.A. Georeg Washington in his farewell address mentioned that permanent foreign alliances aren't a good idea for the nation. He seemed to prefer self-reliance and independent nationalism. Who was Georege Washington it might be wondered by oppenents? Isn't he going to disappear from the dollar bill alng with ALexander Hamiliton from his chauvinist place on the $20?

The Clintons Evidentally Did Corrupt Democrat Party Primaries
Hillary Clinton's campaign apparently made an agreement with teh Democrat national Committe in 2015 that let the Clinton campaign have control of a substantial portion of DNC campaign finance. Former DNC Chairwoman donna Brazil reveals the secret protocol in her new book
https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/donna-brazile%E2%80%99s-bombshell-about-the-dnc-and-hillary-clinton-explained/ar-AAun9Hc?li=BBnb4R7
The Clinton have basically stopped anyone else from getting the nomination too long. In a democracy there should be hundreds or thousands of people able to be President instead of neo-royal cults like that of the Clintons. A president needs to be a likable personality these days, a good communicator and play a good game of golf. He or she should have several real and solid fine political refrm ideas before running, and be able to sign off on or veto legislation. It is the congress that is supposed t make laws; not the President.
https://www.politico.com/magazine/story/2017/11/02/clinton-brazile-hacks-2016-215774
Being Chief Executive officer of the United States means making several political appointments and managing the execution of affairs of government through delegated authority rather smootlly if possible. The President can be a leader in new directions of course, yet that isn't required, and over-use of executive orders to force personal political gambits temporarily means that there won't be popular support not uncommonly.
Arresting the financial decline of the United States that has been rather steady the past half century may not be possible for any President using conventional economic means. Globalism absolutely wopn't create a reversal for the U.S. financial outlook to the positive unless it is just a device used in support for a new U.S. alternative energy and space development industry with full employment, guarantteed minimum income and secure borders. The U.S.A. is just 4% of world population and in the era of equalization the income of Americans probably will shrink to just 4% of world income (except for the most rich of course). The Clintons were a devastating blindfold on Democrat party economic reason; basically, they lost it.

Internet Fate- Plutocratic Device for the New World Order
Facebook
fundamentally pays nothing to users for content provided by
‘consumers’ for nothing. The Internet itself is challenged to
merge under financial and government pressure toward one of two
paths; a divergence in communications force toward control by
democratic individual producer-consumers or the usual plutocratic
suspects of global concentrated wealth and power. Government lackeys
and wealthy elites regard themselves as producers and the masses as
consumers. That is an upgrade of the ancient feudal aristocracy and
serf-peasant model so enjoyed by kiss-crasses of the most advantaged
in the broadcast media.
Government
and concentrated wealth would like to make the Internet a top-down
structured entity resembling loosely a social ecosystem run by a tiny
minority at the top. The Internet would be run by Wall Street and the
Chinese Communist arty perhaps as adjuncts of plutonomy. ‘Consumers’
would be marginalized as producers in the new world order for the
Internet.
I
wonder how all of the present controversy about Internet advertising
by foreigners sounds to the angels, or to God. The neo-Platonist
philosopher Plotinus described the information relation about
questions and uncertainty that generate questions through incomplete
information as not occurring to God. God had all the knowledge and
answer to every possible question a priori. For which there is
nothing unknown, nothing need be asked for clarification of
uncertainty.
The
fate of Internet freedom and access is unknown to those outside of
the grand cabals of conspiracy and wealth management planning of the
people of Earth. Busy halls of Harvard alumni seeking global power
and enslavement of the people of the United States down the road who
comprise fewer than 4% of world population and rock the boat too much
for the pleasure of planetary plutocratic globalists. The physical
theory of entropy and the principle of the conservation of energy
bring us to believe that matter cannot be created or destroyed; it
can only change form (including the convertibility of mass and energy
e.g. m=mc2). The theory of Shanon entropy concerning the conservation
of information implies that information can neither be created or
destroyed. While it is easy to believe that all of the mass and
energy of the Universe was contained in a singular timeless momentary
state lasting nearly for eternity until something gave it a kick in
the night to be off-balance and explode before wildly inflating for
less than a second faster than light (before light existed), it is
more challenging to believe that all of the information that was ever
to exist already existed. Of course for an omniscient God containing
all of the information that would ever exist, knowing every possible
quantum state of uncertainty in the probabilistic quantum field of
any given Universe, the incredible is not only believable, it is
known.
Each
human life and history in all of its quantum configurations within
the unified temporal field are pre-known and never lost. What is the
human soul; its information and comprising composition is known and
never lost to God.
The
day of judgment too is pre-destined. So were hearings in Congress
about Facebook, Twitter, Google and other Internet companies that
received pay for commercial advertising by Russians. Any reasonable
CEO of an Internet company knew that Russians were banned from
commercial advertising on the Internet; same as anyone else. Further,
Americans know that American companies neve3r advertise abroad in any
way nor try to influence foreign elections. In Syria the U.S.
government just drops bombs and pays for mercenaries to influence
politics. Thankfully God can sort out truth and falsehood without the
trouble that they have in congress.
The Biological Foundation of Economics
Biology
informs basic economic laws. Fundamental economics are biological in
nature. Thomas Malthus made a formula that a bacteriologist might
have made concerning growth medium and bacteria growing in it.
Malthus foresaw that bacteria or people living in a finite growth
medium (such as a petri dish or planetary surface) would increase and
multiply until consuming all available food and growth material
before perishing. Malthus made in effect an early argument for
ecological sustainability. Mankind hasn't yet achieved ecological
sustainable growth and dabbles around the edges with zero population
growth and intensive food cultivation technology.
Ricardo
made a kind of derivative economics argument from Malthus paradigm of
population growth within a non-sustainable growth medium. He believed
that real estate was finite and therefore as population increased the
value of real estate would increase. He also thought that population
would increase with available food supply until the food supply was
exhausted and the population crashed. That is still a biology-based
economic theory.
Humanity
in some senses was fairly primitive until quite recently. Two
centuries ago most of humanity were illiterate and pre-electric.
Economic theories were just advanced a little beyond biological
factors concerning population, growth medium, trade and technology
that would permit a healthy population. Social scientists including
economists were trying to manage the condition and even happiness of
the human social members of the biosphere. Little regard was given
unto exhausting the growth medium. Instead, the globe was searched
and exploited for growth media in the most abundant and exploitable
state. Technological investment and development continued to pursue
the most solid r quantitatively plentiful directions with qualitative
methods of technology following along. Industry was about steam
engines then alternative energy sources for engines. Automotive
engine technology became mature and over-mature continuing with
fossil fuels into a global warming era of which they were prime
contributors.
Self-driving
cars of the near future energized with electric engines and batteries
are a mildly revolutionary upgrade to the engine technology adapted
to making mass social life comfortable and efficient. An example is
that of self-driving transport vehicles for retired people that use
best route algorithms for planning and transporting a dozen
passengers or so to their destinations with the common carrier. A
more ominous adaptation is that of military vehicles.
Self-driving
military vehicles for all branches of services comprise a revolution
in the art of war. Imagine the river-jungle war with self-driving jet
skies with night visions and silent propulsion journeying a river to
hunt insurgents with a variety or weapons and even detachable flying
drones. Perhaps the bottom unit of the unit would contain fuel and
weapons while the upper part could detach and fly to hunt day or
night before returning to hover and refuel. Maybe the entire unit
could submerge and rest inactive on the river bed.
Army
transport vehicles in Iraq that were self-driving could have
transported weapons, supplies such as fuel or batteries with no
chance foe improvised explosive unit combat casualties. Self-driving
scout vehicles could have hunted for insurgents and defended roads
against insurgents planting mines. Convoys with soldiers hidden in
just one of five self-driving vehicles could have over-watch the
weapons units of the other vehicles launching a variety of opposition
force culling devices without far more safely. In some cases soldiers
at a distant base could operate self-driving hunter vehicles that can
have more effect armor without a crew compartment. The evolution of
civilian and military technology within a system designed at the core
for enabling the optimal health of the biological members reflects
the loss of perspective that some contemporary social and economic
theorists have about economics. Some believe that economics follow
entirely man-made laws, and in that regard they are entirely wrong.
Biological laws underpin the economics laws that have arisen from
them.
Since
ecological sustainability is the primary law of economics, mankind
will remain primitive until he has moved to a higher level of
transforming areas without biological life (such as the moon of the
Earth) into exospheres that sustain biologically human life. The age
of the gentiles may therefor be unfulfilled until the gentiles have
converted the Milky Way and perhaps every other galaxy into
exospheres able to support biologically human life. Sustaining entire
galaxies in a continuum supportive of and sustaining human life would
be a challenge for economic methods and technological innovation, yet
it is possible.
Humanity
may rise to the challenge and overcome its petri- dish paradigm of
ecospheric non-sustainability. Human economic systems are no more
than ethics systems for applying the biological imperative. Some are
less efficient than others, and each should be the most suitable and
effective for the era.
