Thanks for the call back quote, which shows us how these tried and true tactics just keep coming around and around... Those who want to keep up with my writings can find me at https://electclifton.wordpress.com, and my local LP related group at http://www.queenslibertarians.org/

I mean what the passage says. The Church is built BY Christ, based on the profession of all believers (of which Peter's was an example). It is not 'maintained' by the believers, the Church IS the body of believers.

Real Bible, the verse prior: 16:16 "And Simon Peter answered, Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God." Exactly. The Church is what the person of Christ says it is, i.e., those who confess belief as Peter did. The Church is not uniquely based on the person of Peter, but upon his profession.

1- "Oral statement" = Only available to 1st century believers, who could hear from the Apostles in person 2- "A letter of ours" = AKA, scripture, written by the Apostles for their contemporaries and posterity Neither provides proof of apostolic succession, or that anybody other than the...

The problem with this notion is that Paul states the dead (OT saints, and the already dead in Christ) will be caught up first, then the living believers in Christ. "We will not all sleep" means not all Christians will experience death, but all believers alive at the time of the rapture will be...

Classic libertarian doctrine is to protect individual rights to LIFE, liberty and property. If you let the State get away with legalized child killing, they will likely get away with everything else, so yes, abortion remains a central issue. It is incoherent to assert that it's not other...

The cultural war is already ending, and the traditionalists have basically won it. Trump was the trailing end of it (as Democrats had lost 1,000 seats at all levels before his campaign started). That's why the entire Deep State establishment has been shrieking and freaking out. Trump's victory...

And so the penny drops. As Michael Rivero says often on his internet show, if the NSA is monitoring and tracking everybody's communications forwards and backwards, how come they haven't tracked down where the ransomware is coming from?

I'm not concerned about the coverage of expenses issue (you'll figure that out as you proceed), but more about the protection from the jackboots issue. In a decade that has seen the raiding of lots of online, gold-based financial services or alternatives to government fiat tyranny, will your...

Same as what I have posted and blogged about for months. The movement needs to 1) get better at building a 51% coalition beyond our 5.1% ideological base so as to win elections and get legislation passed, and 2) become more effective at overcoming the statist barriers to liberty in the legacy...

Of course Trump has no such authority to pass on to the military, neither constitutional, nor even under the War Powers Act. He is doing brazenly what his predecessors have been doing using a modicum of pretext or other excuses. The main/only saving grace behind this kind of intervention is that...

More background on the bold, below. Perhaps the entire reason behind the intense anti-Russia meme of the last 9 months is that the Deep State was planning for the false flag to drop at this point, regardless of who won the election...

The poster was referring to the finish line, not the starting gate. No matter how strong a candidate looks at the beginning, the point is did they do what they needed to do to WIN the race, and defeat the opposition? Whoever the nominee was going to be had to build a winning vote coalition, and...

Yes, it's brilliant chess, yes, the AHCA debacle positions Trump better over Ryan in the long term, and yes, the same circle of arrogant anti-Trump posters who were wrong about him not being able to get the nomination, or not being able to win the election, will be shown to be wrong about his...
