Re: An article about Anabaptist two-kingdom dualism
It's a little dense, but I think I agree entirely assuming I understand it properly. The Anabaptist position on nonviolence is different at the root from other forms of pacifism because it is built entirely on the reality of a risen, ruling Christ, without this foundation it is logical or philosophi...

Re: “Five-fold ministry”?
It feels to me like this movement has taken a biblical role or gifting (prophecy) and created a church structure to meet the needs of that role. I see it similar to the authority structure created for bishops by the high church model or the little fiefdoms of low church with a single prominent leade...

Re: Autocrat vs Institutionalist
Way back in the 90's I felt the political parties (institutions) were too strong, slow and unresponsive, stifling the voice of the people, so I was encouraged by trends like direct fund raising and proportional delegate allocation. Now that I have a little taste of populism, I feel some nostalgia fo...

Re: Is Biden Fit to be President?
If I pay too much attention to any of them, I start to feel like a worm is eating part of my brain.

Re: Preach it Bro !
and where fleeing civilization and "homesteading" become spiritual callings. could you please enlarge on this? The Millennialism and Dispensationalism of today are reactions to the collapse of Post millennialism, at least in the US context. After the Civil war, theology that put the Union...

Re: Poll: Auto Accident Fatalities and Injuries
Who knows, whatever happens, I don't think the most likely scenario will be a smooth transition to driverless cars in dense urban areas.

Re: Poll: Auto Accident Fatalities and Injuries
Ken, I like your vision of a more people friendly, less car centric future but how sure are you the balance of power and law will not be captured by the tech giants for their ends. Just 100 years ago the streets were legally given over to the automobile and simply being in the street without a car w...

Re: Is Biden Fit to be President?
President Biden might be worse off than I think or not, it's hard to know which news feed to believe. I do recall most of the people who are convinced he is basically an invalid also thought the same of Senator Fetterman and many of them said with certainty Senator Clinton was at death's door while ...

Re: Poll: Auto Accident Fatalities and Injuries
Also, it is substantially easier to design a self-driving vehicle that is constrained to a few square miles of one urban area with staff available to extract vehicles from pinches. I have some questions how self driving tech will work out in dense urban areas with pedestrian culture. Drivers that h...
