2020: THE YEAR WE LET OURSELVES BE INFANTILISED AND This is the second of five articles I am publishing over the next couple of weeks looking at various aspects of our new Covidian Statein 2020. These
DIFFICULT BIBLE PASSAGES: JESUS AND THE FIG TREE Thanks, Rob. Good stuff here. I think this Biblical lesson is a very strong one that God’s people need to hear. Although I am not the type of Christian to adore the “Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God” imagery, there is truth in the idea that God’s patience doesrun
WHY CS LEWIS WAS WRONG WHEN HE SAID JESUS’S PROPHESY OF In my last post, I made reference to CS Lewis’s comment that Matthew 24:34 — “Truly, I say to you, this generation will not pass away until all these things take place” — “the most embarrassing verse in the entire Bible”.In the comment section, Bruce from New Hampshire asks where Lewis made this statement. The answer is in an essay called, “The World’s Last Night,” and here HEY PESSIMISTIC CHRISTIAN, CHEER UP! CHRIST WILL HAVE Hello Rob, A very thought-stimulating article, thank you. Regarding the fact that the Lord Jesus will sit at God’s right hand *until* God makes all his enemies his footstool, your conclusion assumes that sitting at God’s right hand refers to the time between Jesus’ ascension and 2nd advent. DIFFICULT BIBLE PASSAGES: 1 CORINTHIANS 11 There are basically three popular interpretations of 1 Corinthians 11:1-17. The first (and most popular today) is the cultural view, which basically says that the commandment for women to wear a head-covering was connected with the cultural expectations of the day, which no longer apply. THE UK GOVERNMENT’S SKRIPAL CONSPIRACY THEORY The Official Narrative on the poisoning of Sergei and Yulia Skripal is a collection of illogical claims and assertions that cannot be made to fit together, that make no rational sense, and which would require us to hold a mass of contradictory thoughts in our head if we were toaccept it.
BEETHOVEN: NOT A GOOD ARGUMENT AGAINST ABORTION Have you ever heard the Beethoven argument against abortion? It runs something like this: “If you knew a woman who was pregnant, who had 8 kids already, three who were deaf, two who were blind, one mentally retarded, and she had syphilis, would you recommend that she have anabortion?
MAN FINDS OUT GOVERNMENT IS LYING ON A MONUMENTAL SCALEA COMPARISON OF LOCKDOWN UK WITH NON-LOCKDOWN SWEDEN It is exactly three years since one of the most absurd yarns of modern times was spun just a few stone’s throws from where I live. The official narrative of the alleged poisoning of Sergei Skripal was so patently ridiculous and full of holes, that I remain amazed at how anyone could have been taken in by it — although it must be said that this astonishment has since been surpassed by an DIFFICULT BIBLE PASSAGES: WHAT DID NOAH’S YOUNGEST SON DO Ham had four sons: Cush, Mizraim, Phut, and Canaan. We assume based on your logic that Canaan was Ham’s youngest son. Can you speak to why Noah’s “curse” specfically only names Ham’s youngest son and why his other three boys don’t seem to be impacted. WHAT HAPPENS WHEN WE WORSHIP? The strength of an army is seen not so much when things are going well, but rather when things are going badly. It is one thing for a battalion to look good when the numbers are in their favour and things are going well; quite another things to see how they cope with beingpressed back.

THE GOALS & IMPORTANCE OF CHURCH DISCIPLINE Below is my latest piece for Samaritan Ministries International As a trustee of a church, I recently sat down with my fellow trustees to draw up a document setting POSSIBLY THE GREATEST, MOST SOUL-STIRRING PIECE OF MUSIC With a great need to ensure our sanity and spiritual health remain intact during the biggest crisis any of us have ever experienced, I wanted to come up for breath, pause and invite you to listen to a piece of music that is — in my estimation — the greatest and most soul-stirring piece of DIFFICULT BIBLE PASSAGES: 1 CORINTHIANS 11 There are basically three popular interpretations of 1 Corinthians 11:1-17. The first (and most popular today) is the cultural view, which basically says that the commandment for women to wear a head-covering was connected with the cultural expectations of the day, which no longer apply. A BRIEF THEOLOGY OF THE CORONAVIRUS David, “Nothing” is a very slippery concept. We have a notional understanding of Nothing, but it lacks precision. I once read a book called “The Semiotics of Zero” by Brian Rotman – just think, a whole book devoted to defining what we mean by zero! THE UK GOVERNMENT’S SKRIPAL CONSPIRACY THEORY The Official Narrative on the poisoning of Sergei and Yulia Skripal is a collection of illogical claims and assertions that cannot be made to fit together, that make no rational sense, and which would require us to hold a mass of contradictory thoughts in our head if we were toaccept it.
THE FAILURE OF DEMOCRACY IN THE MIDDLE EAST With all hell breaking loose in Egypt, here is something I recently wrote for Samaritan Ministries on the subject of democracy – how it is an idol and why it has failed to bring the promised peace and stability to the Middle East: 27-YEAR-OLD MAN BECOMES FIRST TRANSAGE WINNER IN WORLD A 27-year-old man from Great Britain, who identifies as an 8-year-old boy, has become the first Transage winner of a gold medal at the World Cross Country Championship.Brian Potts, a fitness instructor from Hull, won the under-10s 6 kilometre race in a time of 17 minutes and 21 seconds, over four minutes ahead of his nearest rival. ANN FUREDI AND THE IMMORAL CASE FOR ABORTION Thanks once again GV for commenting. You ask the question about the keeping the bull that has been known to gore in the past, tethered (Exodus 21:29) I think you mean; and about the requirement to build a parapet for your roof (Deuteronomy 22:8).

2020: THE YEAR WE LET OURSELVES BE INFANTILISED AND 2020: The Year we Let Ourselves be Infantilised and Dehumanised. This is the second of five articles I am publishing over the next couple of weeks looking at various aspects of our new Covidian State in 2020. These pieces are also due to be published on The Conservative Woman website from 27-31 December. I recently wrote a satirical speech by WE WILLINGLY GAVE UP LIBERTY, YET ARE SHOCKED TO FIND OUT We Willingly Gave Up Liberty, Yet Are Shocked to Find Out We Are Less Free. Many have been shocked by the scenes in Clapham on Saturday night, where the Metropolitan Police used extremely heavy-handed tactics to break up what appears to have been a peaceful protest and vigil, held in memory of Sarah Everard, who was brutally murdered justdays
WHAT HAPPENS WHEN WE WORSHIP? When we worship God, we are spiritually in the throne room of God. Amongst the many hard-to-be-understood themes of the book of Revelation, one of them is that the people of God on Earth worship together with the people of God in Heaven. This comes out in several places, for example, in chapter 5, verses 11-14.

ONE YEAR TO FLATTEN LIFE AS WE KNEW IT One Year to Flatten Life as we Knew it. It is a year since we embarked on an untried, untested, unscientific, draconian and frankly mad medical, social, economic and psychological experiment on millions of people. On the day we were thrust into this folly I wrote, “So that seems to be that. The end of Britain as we knew it.”.

THE GOALS & IMPORTANCE OF CHURCH DISCIPLINE The starting place for any discussion on church discipline should be to ask what it is for. There was a very helpful podcast on this recently on the website Mortification of Spin, where Carl Trueman identified the following three goals of church discipline: Vindicating the name of Christ in public. Protecting the flock. Reclaiming of theoffender.
THE MASKS ARE COMING OFF I had intended to start the New Year with a heart-warming piece entitled, “2021: The Year of Censorship of Dissent”. It would have been a somewhat prophetical piece, shocking some readers with predictions of a coming crackdown on dissent, and causing others to hoot with laughter because they haven’t quite caught up with thetimes we are in.
DIFFICULT BIBLE PASSAGES: 1 CORINTHIANS 11 There are basically three popular interpretations of 1 Corinthians 11:1-17. The first (and most popular today) is the cultural view, which basically says that the commandment for women to wear a head-covering was connected with the cultural expectations of the day, which no longer apply. The second is that Paul is referring throughoutthe
STEPHEN FRY: THERE IS NO GOD AND HE’S HORRID Poor Stephen Fry.Having just fooled himself into the belief that he is somehow “married,” he has now decided to try and outdo his late friend, Christopher Hitchens, and Richard Dawkins in the “thunderous denunciations aimed at the God we don’t believe in” contest.Here are some snippets from this sage of our age in an interview with Gay Byrne on RTE television’s The Meaning of Life: BEETHOVEN: NOT A GOOD ARGUMENT AGAINST ABORTION Human dignity does not come from us. It is an objective dignity, given to us by our Creator and not by ourselves. It is not earned on the basis of what we do or by what we achieve, and it cannot be forfeited by reason of our sin. It is true that we often appear to do all we can to forfeit this dignity by our sinful nature and behaviour, yet no THE SALISBURY POISONINGS TWO YEARS ON: A RIDDLE, WRAPPED I’ve said some stupid things in my time, but up there with the best of them was a comment I uttered to my wife on the morning of Tuesday 6 th March 2018. The previous night the news had broken that an ex-spy by the name of Sergei Skripal had apparently been one of two people hospitalised on the Sunday afternoon on a bench in The Maltings inSalisbury.

WHY CS LEWIS WAS WRONG WHEN HE SAID JESUS’S PROPHESY OF In my last post, I made reference to CS Lewis’s comment that Matthew 24:34 — “Truly, I say to you, this generation will not pass away until all these things take place” — “the most embarrassing verse in the entire Bible”.In the comment section, Bruce from New Hampshire asks where Lewis made this statement.

Somehow the spectacle of President Swamp, Pompeo, Bolton, Abrams, Rubio, Sanders, the Clintons and the entire mainstream media bleeding their poor little warmongering hearts out at the prospect of “saving” yet another country (no, not France) made me think of it. Can’t think why. The White Hats and the Black Hats stood on each side, Eyeball to eyeball across the divide. Neither advanced nor retreated one __ America , ColourRevolutions

International Relations EUROPEAN LEADERS REACT TO THE DEATH OF THE INF TREATY BY PERFECTING THEIR OSTRICH IMPRESSIONS __ February 13, 2019__ Rob Slane
I ’m old enough to remember the excitement that most of the world felt when Ronald Reagan and Mikhail Gorbachev signed the Treaty Between the United States of America and the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics on the Elimination of Their Intermediate-Range and Shorter-Range Missiles — better known as the Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces (INF) Treaty. It was one of those epoch defining moments, with two seemingly implacable enemies, having stared each other down across the so-called Iron Curtain, and having engaged in __ America , EuropeanUnion , Foreign

SHINY NEW THREAD
__ February 7, 2019February 7, 2019__ Rob Slane
The comments on the Summing up the Official Claims in the Salisbury Poisonings Weighed in the Balances and Found Wanting piece are still ongoing, but as there are now about 1500, and it’s very tricky to navigate, I thought I’d put up a new thread for anyone who wants to continue commenting. And by that I mean you can comment on anything you like, but my guess is that one particular subject will be dominant. On that subject, and very briefly,__ New Thread ,

WHY I USE THE TERM CULTURAL MARXISM __ February 6, 2019February 6, 2019__
Rob Slane
A number of commenters on a recent piece questioned my use of the term Cultural Marxism, and so I thought I’d give a little explanation as to why I believe the term to be not just an apt one, but also historically accurate. I rather got the impression — rightly or wrongly — that the assumption behind the questions was that by using this phrase, I am pinning a label on those who disagree with me onmany of the

__ January 31, 2019January 31, 2019__ Rob Slane
Oligarchy: noun – A small group of people having control of a country or organisation. Oilygarchy: noun – A small group of people determined to control the world, who use words like “democracy”, “human rights” and “freedom” to persuade gullible people to support their plans for toppling the governments of other countries, especially those with large oil reserves. “Stop what you’re doing and care about Venezuela.

International Relations SHAVIOURS OF THE WORLD__ January 19, 2019
__ Rob Slane
I’m always greatly amused when I hear people saying things like, “I can’t stand being preached at”. What amuses me is that the same people who say this with a straight face tend to be completely oblivious to the fact that they are being preached at day in day out. If they are aware of it, somehow it never seems to bother them. As a culture we are being preached to constantly. No, I don’t mean thatwe sit in

SUMMING UP THE OFFICIAL CLAIMS IN THE SALISBURY POISONINGS: WEIGHED IN THE BALANCES AND FOUND WANTING__ January 9, 2019
__ Rob Slane
As promised, I want to round off my pieces on the Salisbury case by looking at what I consider to be the major issues and flaws with the case presented to the public by the British Government and the Metropolitan Police, as well as the role played by the mainstream media. I have chosen 10 major points (not in any particular order), although there are many more issues than these. This is a necessarily lengthy piece and I wouldn’t blame__ Novichok , OPCW
