Brilliant article Chris. I am led to suggest that good works are the result of natural outflow of life empowered by faith in Jesus. He is the unshakable truth to build your life on. I am fasting and praying for our President and our Nation. Thank you for your many contributions to Truth and Light. Have a wonderful Independence Day 🇺🇸🍻💥

Be well and Press on!

It is a tremendous task at times to pierce the veil enough to see all of the obfuscation, the half truths, and the audacious outright lies, and yet you always seem to do so effortlessly without reproach. I always enjoy and recommend your work.

You said of Peter Thiel (whom I know very little about, fascinating stuff) "He identifies as Christian, but does he live as a Christian? He is a gay, tech-obsessed, Scientific Materialist, progressive who claims to be a Christian,"...

The answer to your question is an emphatic NO. A Christian does not believe that having a new, immortal body is a DIY project, somehow putting our soul and mind into some kind of indestructible artificial body!

Paul tells us a lot about the true resurrection body in I Corinthians 15:

"35 But someone will ask, “How are the dead raised? With what kind of body do they come?” 36 You foolish person! What you sow does not come to life unless it dies. 37 And what you sow is not the body that is to be, but a bare kernel, perhaps of wheat or of some other grain. 38 But God gives it a body as he has chosen, and to each kind of seed its own body. 39 For not all flesh is the same, but there is one kind for humans, another for animals, another for birds, and another for fish. 40 There are heavenly bodies and earthly bodies, but the glory of the heavenly is of one kind, and the glory of the earthly is of another. 41 There is one glory of the sun, and another glory of the moon, and another glory of the stars; for star differs from star in glory.

42 So is it with the resurrection of the dead. What is sown is perishable; what is raised is imperishable. 43 It is sown in dishonor; it is raised in glory. It is sown in weakness; it is raised in power. 44 It is sown a natural body; it is raised a spiritual body. If there is a natural body, there is also a spiritual body. 45 Thus it is written, “The first man Adam became a living being”;[e] the last Adam became a life-giving spirit. 46 But it is not the spiritual that is first but the natural, and then the spiritual. 47 The first man was from the earth, a man of dust; the second man is from heaven. 48 As was the man of dust, so also are those who are of the dust, and as is the man of heaven, so also are those who are of heaven. 49 Just as we have borne the image of the man of dust, we shall also bear the image of the man of heaven."

This was very well written and thought provoking. It’s one of those pieces that I will probably have to read a few times because there is so much in it. Thanks for this! Hope you have a great 4th of July (the beginning of our year long American 250th Birthday Extravaganza)!

Peter, “The New Dealers, whatever was wrong with them, they pushed Science…”

Whatever was wrong with them?

Sorry I’m chuckling but WTF? 😂

This is another bang-on and insightful piece -- just in the nick of time, too. I would love to get it in the hands of Professor Dugin so that he would read it. (Of late) He keeps saying dumb things about Trump and about what he thinks is MAGA. Otherwise, as you know, he is brilliant and important, which is why I am suggesting he read this piece. It's not specifically about Elon (you never mention him) but for some reason, Mr. Dugin thinks this idiot "third party" might be good, etc.. He likes Elon, apparently, and, by extension, certain other of the tech-bros.. That said, perhaps Constantin von Hoffmeister can get this essay to him? I know that Dugin reads and/or exchanges with Hoffmeister. Just an thought bubble, of course. Everyone, frankly, would benefit from reading this piece, and Dugin is certainly a part of "everyone".

At any rate, your work is appreciated widely, I am sure, but probably not nearly as much as it deserves. Bannon should have you on to advise him!
