monarchy



Dr. Beau Branson joins me for a round table discussion with Carlos Xavier of the Human Jesus to discuss the controversial aspects of the history of patristic and biblical debates about dogmatics.  We will cover OT and NT texts, the patristic era and the philosophical and metaphysical questions of who Jesus was and what the evidence supports in terms of dogmatic claims.  Tonight at 7PM CST 

The sun may finally be setting on the British Monarchy.

I despise modern European monarchies. Words cannot put to screen just how repulsive this 21st century aristocracy is to me personally. At first, one would think that this opinion comes from the fact that I am American, you know whole Article 1, Section 9 of the U.S. Constitution and that 1776 thing. But that is simply not the case, when it comes to hereditary monarchies my big ideological problem comes from the “hereditary” part, not so much the “monarchy” part.

There are some people — whereby I do not know how many — who recall the key elements of British colonial rule. I was fortunate enough not to live under it.

Traditional philosophy and metaphysics Ep 5 picks up with a discussion of wisdom and the application of the wisdom texts in Scripture. We may also, if you’re lucky, touch on monarchy and the civil magistrate in terms of revealed doctrine.

A December 13 report in The Wall Street Journal shone light on a notion that has been afoot in the Russian Federation since the fall of Communism in 1991 – the restoration of the Monarchy as the form of government, complete with a new Tsar of all the Russias.
Of course, some of these monarchists have a top contender in mind for that post, none other than President Vladimir Putin himself.


Jefferson invited me back to have a discussion on traditionalism, Enlightenment liberalism, the philosophy of the state and its relation to economics, Orthodoxy theology and worldviews, atheistic arguments and apologetics, the moon landing and much more! Definitely a great conversation.
