The power of God is expressed in the power to do good. Evil is encompassed by those things that destroy what is good. What is good is that which has value, and so the power of God is expressed as the value of what He does. Destroying this value and these things of value then imposes a debt on the one harming the things of God and destroying the value that God created.

The volunteer is celebrated for his and her selflessness. In this world they need to exist, so much would not work without the input of volunteers. But what is a volunteer but a volunteer slave. We like to think of volunteers as contributing to the economy, but in many ways, they perpetuate communism and distort market values. Surely, the nurse who cares for the sick and dying has value. Even housewives have economic value, but only when doing the same work she does at home, for strangers. In this essay we do not say volunteers are not needed. We argue that any economy that needs volunteers or which cannot pay people for the work they do, is not much of an economy. If the market cannot at minimum pay for the work done, it has lost the right to exist.

No one needs to be told how to think because we are all born with that capacity. Yet we know some persons are insane, others very troubled. There are people who are career criminals, and we all make mistakes. Lots of people ruin their lives by the number of bad choices they make. Every day people die from drugs and more begin taking them knowing the path they are on. We also know some people are geniuses, some are creative and others well organized. So, then the question becomes, do those who believe we all know how to reason, know how to evaluate the data they are faced with? If you think everyone knows you to reason, perhaps you do not know how to reason correctly. How would you know?

Apriorian is a Christian apologetics. We believe which means we have faith. We strive to honor that faith and to be true to it, which indicates we have or strive to have, fidelity. We are Apriorian Fides which might be translated logical faith or a faith we strive to be faithful to. We have, singularly and corporately, nothing but faith. Without faith we are nothing, or less than nothing. Without faith our civilizations collapse, as they are in the process of doing.

The Protestant Reformation took us from Catholicism to a more Fundamentalist understanding of Scripture, but it failed in one regard. The Protestant Reformation did not separate us from the state. Separation from the hierarchical Papacy was not enough. The Reformation simply replaced the Papacy with the king, or equivalent. The 2nd Reformation separates church from state.

Credit Unions are not banks despite being imbedded in the monetary systems of the West. They can play a larger role in the community if they adopt the guise of a Christian Mission. Sounds odd, perhaps but then maybe there is more you need to learn.

The West and perhaps the world, think unemployment is fixed, akin to a natural phenomenon. Unemployment is as much a part of the human reality as gravity is a part of nature. It’s a lie, pure and simple and like all lies it is promulgated for a specific purpose. If you know who the lie benefits you will know why it was started.

Labor produces the goods and services. Everything we see was produced by working persons unless produced by God. Would labor not have rights then?

People who skim the Bible looking for offensive passages are traumatized by their wild imaginations triggered by what they read in Scripture. It is all a figment of their over-wrought imaginations of course. Minds full of hate have no room for logical thought. In this talk we discuss what the Bible actually says when one reads it devoid of an agenda.

There are six characteristics of a church. Compare them to the church you belong and see how the traditional church measures up to what the Bible requires of a church.

One has no right to rule what they have no right to. To exercise power illegitimately is to rule by the law of the jungle. In the law of the jungle might makes right and the end justifies the means. Only the worker earns the value and therefore the right, to rule. We own what we create, and no one created the natural world but God. No one has a right to dominate and rule the world by God. Labor creates and owns everything else. The right belongs to us, not the state.

The reader probably thinks he or she does not want to know how to drive down wages and make a nation poor, yet it is pretty obvious there are a lot of people who do know how to do this and make use of the knowledge, otherwise wages would not be declining relative to prices and nations would not be suffering under ever mounting debt loads. Perhaps if you learned what they know you would understand what they are doing and put a stop to it.

Socialism is considered to produce less efficient results than a market. Regardless, of how one may argue the point, no one has actually established a mechanism for eliminating the need or preference for at least some public sector engagement; until now. Socialism can be utterly eliminated by eliminating the need for the public sector. And it is not as difficult as you think.

There is not one infinitely complex world that contains and encompasses everything. Such a reality cannot contain absolute truth for absolute truth is incompatible with a world in which truth is relative and man is free to follow any path of his or her choosing. This essay sets out the other option.

Christians have been readier to embrace the politics of peace than the scripture of war. Militarism is considered a sin in many Christian pulpits. But the language and motifs of war are found everywhere in the Bible.

The Golden Age is often mocked but refuses to die. Few people of any maturity do not feel the past was somehow better, even when considering such things as the primitive level of medicine. Is this desire for a past Golden Age just a longing for childhood or is there something more to our looking back with some regret. When we talk of the Golden Age of Rome, Athens or Islam, we are not fantasizing, so what if there was something more substantial about the Wests reminiscing, than a dream of childhood? What makes for a Golden Age and can we start to dream of a future Golden Age, rather than one viewed in hindsight.

It is not only economists who are victimized by these errors, our Western Civilizations used them for the foundation of their cultures. If things shaky now it is because the faults upon which our cultures are based, are starting to crumble.

The fall of Babylon is only possible if the church rises, they hold an inverse relationship. There is not a third or fourth alternative organizational model to follow. There is no range of possibilities. We are either in the church obeying God or we are in Babylon and building it up.

Poverty cannot be solved by greed nor by force. We cannot expect the most ruthless and selfish of men become altruistic, especially when part of a system that rewards selfish, self-interest and penalizes anyone motivated by pity. But it does not help much if the state steps in and attempts to bury the worst effects of greed by systematic expropriations and handouts. Indeed, the socialism of the state is likely only to worsen things in the long run, as the rich fight harder to retain what is theirs and the poor get used to going to the state for the things they need.

God has the solution to globalism, if you want it.

It may be impossible to eliminate crime and sin but it is possible to separate from it by making it too expensive to engage in it, at least where we are. Learn how to separate from crime, as a church.

Universalism is a form of apologetics that argues that if a belief is true, it is universal, if a solution is a solution, is applies to all cases and situations. There is no singular or partial truth nor disassociated solution without relevance to the single, all-encompassing solution. In short, Universalism points to the origin of truth. If you know one truth, you know all truth. If you have a solution, you have all solutions. By the same token, you embrace one lie you embrace all lies. If you have one problem, you have all problems. Many like to think they know mostly truth but are infected with a few partial truths, or that they have some problems but mostly the problems are only the solution improperly implemented. But lies and truth cannot be reconciled or made compatible in some way. Universalism is the truth and is the whole, all-encompassing truth that wipes out all problems, including unemployment, debt, poverty, inflation, pollution, waste, taxation, homelessness, war, property crime and the cost of the state generally. The reality is, if you do not embrace the truth, you have these problems. If you have any of these problems you have rejected the truth.

Many people think there are an infinite number of universes, others say there is but one. But the theory of many universes means the metaverse is the true universe and all the versions of the universe are really parts of a larger universal whole. Those who claim there is one universe acknowledge there are many different ways of thinking about what this universe looks like. The one universe is composed of an infinite number of actual ways of thinking what the universe looks like. So the one universe has an infinite number of version. These two extremes then are the same theory expressed in two different ways. We call this the One Reality Hypothesis because in this theory there are many related versions about what is real, but they all assume reality is relative to the observer. Those who subscribe to The One Reality Hypothesis thinks reality is real, but reality is contingent upon the observer. There is no absolute, non-contingent truths in this way of thinking about what is real. But if this reality is valid, where do absolute truths come from. If numbers and truth are not real things, why do they exist?

Is there no truth and no source of truth. Ultimately, is there no meaning in the universe? That cannot be or we would cease to be rational, as there would be no meaning to the idea. If there is reason and truth in this universe it has to be identifiable, meaning, lies cannot be true and bad cannot be good. There must be a type of thing we can know as being true and good that is separate from all the many other things we can identify as being lies and bad. But the source of truth must be a mind and this mind must encompass all that is true and good, otherwise it would not be true and good, as nature cannot produce truth or meaning. All truth and meaning and all that is good must come from a Universal Mind, a Mind that contains all that is good and true, because it is this mind that defines what is true and what is good.

There is a reason why we talk of the church and state as if they were polar opposites and why there is an ongoing discussion over which institution has the greater right when it comes to education and the nature of morality. In our hearts we know there is a conflict between them even if we may not understand it in our heads. However, in this regard atheists tend to be far more aware of the incompatibility of church and state than Christians. The latter seem always hopeful for some kind of reconciliation or negotiated settlement. Atheists seem well aware that the two are incompatible and ultimately what the two sides are engaged in, is a fight to the death.
