The KSF is still accepting orders for ZWIBook. Due to steady demand, we are about to run out again, but we will make new drives as and when necessary.

Order at: shop.encyclosphere.org

And thanks to all who have supported the KSF since these nifty drives were first offered for sale last August. We have sold well over 600 drives by now. The next ordered signed and numbered drive will be #269.

Hi LaKeishia! To respond to this—

First, look up what the New Agers mean by “Christ consciousness.” Did Christ himself believe in such a thing? Or did he believe he was the one and only Son of God, and one with God? We cannot be little Jesuses. The Bible supports no such notion. If it doesn’t, but you believe in Jesus on the basis of the Bible, why do you believe this new (100 year old) concept?

Second, we are called not to seek “Christ consciousness,” but to repent of our sins, to love God and our fellow man with all our heart, and to seek righteousness. If we do, the Holy Spirit lives in us. But this is not Christ consciousness; it is the Spirit that proceeds from God and, as Western theologians say, Jesus.

Third, the notion that the Spirit is present in the Communion, or in and among us as we take it, is one of the main Protestant alternatives.

“End Wokeness,” anonymous mega-account started 2.5 years ago, and Mario Nawfal, whoever that is, can each get over 1.2K retweets and over 5K likes for sharing the same old video of me saying the obvious about Wikipedia. And that’s over three or four hours, in the middle of the night.

If I were to do the same thing, it’s very doubtful I would break 100 retweets. 🤔

And people wonder why I’ve washed my hands of X.com and gone to SangerFeed.org.

(It’d be a shame if a big account screenshotted this on X.)

Polly is onto something here. Elon Musk has some, let’s just say, interesting friends. He is not anti-Establishment. He *is* the Establishment, and although he has a lot of solid political positions, and did *some* good things for X/Twitter, he throttles a lot of people (like me), he makes his money from giant government contracts and with regulatory help, and his statement that Americans don’t deserve their own top jobs because they’re “dumb” is quite a slap in the face.

Fascinating topic:

The “unity of scripture” refers to its internal consistency:

1. It is internally consistent in terms of its meaning, so long as you interpret it according to the principle of *analogia scripturae*, which means literally “analogy of scripture” but which refers to the principle that Scripture should be used to interpret Scripture. The point is that you *can* interpret Scripture in this way.

2. It is doctrinally consistent, meaning that different parts do not express inconsistent doctrines. Again, this also depends on *analogia scripturae*.

3. It is metaphorically consistent; the principle here is intertextuality. Symbols bear the same meaning across many centuries of writing.

4. It bears up under close scrutiny. It invites questioning (assuming the one is up to the task of discerning answers!).

This is an essential part of an Argument from Revelation.

Here’s a thought. How rich are billionaires? Think of it this way. Many people think $100,000 is a substantial sum—plenty to live on for a year, unless you’re in a very overpriced city or have high career expectations. If you have saved a cool $1 million, that pays your living expenses for 10 years. Unless you invest wisely, it probably wouldn’t last a younger person the rest of his life. But if you have $1 billion, it pays living expenses for 10,000 years. I mean, if you gave yourself an insane sum of $1 million per year to live on, your billion would enable you to live that way for 1,000 years. So, yeah. It’s a lot of money. And if you were as rich as Elon Musk, you could pay living expenses for 436,000 years. Or “only” 43,600 years if you spent “only” a million per year.
