The Ministry of Justice is a mismanaged and maladjusted

What an omnishambles at Petit France, at the Ministry of Justice where mishaps, mistakes, mismanagement and maladministration take place on a daily basis. What a mess. It is clearly "not fit for purpose". And that is to quote a former Home Secretary who set up the Ministry of Justice. Senior civil servants and the Justice Secretary need to "get a grip". It is beyond a joke, a Yes Minister episode, when the Prison Service is letting dangerous prisoners out into the community, putting lives at risk and failing to protect the public.  Such failures make the Government and the criminal justice system a laughing stock, a field day for comedians and Private Eye magazine. 

Some politicians are clearly not up to the job; they are clearly out of their depth. Changes are needed. They are absolutely necessary. Heads should role. It is time for accountability and responsibility in Government. The current situation is woefully unacceptable.

Who can you trust the tell the truth?

 We live in a time when truth is under attack from false narratives, fake news, fabricated accounts and phony messages. It has been said that when folk believe in nothing, when they have no firm faith and foundations in their lives, then they are susceptible to believing in anything and everything. The moral and ethical vacuum is filled with fantasies and fables; they are open to all sorts of crazy ideas and ideologies.

It is so important to teach critical thinking skills, the ability to spot error and falsehood, to distinguish between fact and fiction, to discern what is based on evidence and tested truth.  History, religious studies and English, when well taught, should explain the difference between interpretation and established attested fact, the difference between primary source material and secondary sources, and the importance of understanding the difference between exegesis and eisegesis. The ability to discern when someone is drawing out what is the meaning of  the text and when someone is inserting their own or fabricated ideas into the text. What is interpretation and what is not an interpretation. A skillful enterprise but necessary.

We should be grateful to scholars who took us through the Renaissance, the Enlightenment and the scientific revolution to a refined and well informed understanding of truth, that which can stand the test of time and intellectual scrutiny, and arguably eternity.

Jesus exclaimed that the truth will set you free. Sadly many people, I would argue, are in chains believing in falsehoods, vain hopes and erroneous narratives that will lead them to despair and destruction, and some will walk blindly in the broad way without even realizing the dangers, comfortable in their complacency and spiritually perilous condition.

When politicians and people in the media lie, cloak and dissemble so often and so liberally, we must be on our guard to stand for the truth and the values that serve us well, Christian values and Gospel truth.

Judgment on the House of Windsor?

 With all the problems facing the Royal Family there have been voices raised suggesting that the House of Windsor is now under the judgment of God.  One podcast spoke out against the legislation passed over recent years which has been detrimental to the country and has been part of declension and decline in the nation.

Others have expressed concern over the moral failings of the monarchy, the Firm: adulteries, fornications, sexual immorality, mendacity, allegations of fraud and fiscal irregularities, and a total disregard for transparency, openness and accountability.

Andrew formerly known as Prince is on the run from justice?

Some suggest that the removal of titles and the exit from Royal Lodge in Windsor will take the sting out of the story, the amoral Andy saga. No way. This matter will stay in the public interest, while many pray for justice, due process of law, forensic investigation of financial dealings, close scrutiny of links with despots and dictators.   There are questions about living off immoral earnings and involvement in sadistic sexual activities.  Mrs Ferguson is also under public scrutiny. Where did her funds come from to facilitate her lavish lifestyle?  Was Fergie benefiting from Epstein's empire, from ill gotten gains?

The problem for Andrew Mountbatten Windsor's spin doctors and PR team, and the Palace team, is that the public are far more inclined to believe Mrs Giuffre's narrative than the disgraced exPrince's version of events.  It is expected that there will be more released files and films, and therefore future revelations, harmful to the old Firm.

Much has been given to Andrew Mountbatten Windsor: privileges, power, possessions, property, palatial places, and some would add pretty prostitutes, polished premier performers? 

Now much more is expected to come out about him.  Time for repentance and contrition? That may be too much to expect.

Anglicans in a schism: the Lambeth elite is losing many communicants

The Anglican Communion is moving into uncharted territory.  Millions are now out of communion with the Lambeth Conference elite and the Church of England hierarchy.  GAFCON has rejected the leadership of Canterbury and York.  Woke and woeful religion has not been allowed to continue in Anglican areas where biblical theology and historic Christianity maintains its authority, orthodoxy and orthopraxis.  

The Anglican elite at Lambeth has angered and annoyed many who wish to follow clear and authentic Christian teaching, the faith once delivered to the saints.  Marriage, sexual morality, evangelism, biblical ethics and traditional practices have been under threat from trendy clergy and apostate agents bringing decline, decay and destructive heresies, according to GAFCON supporters. Schism was therefore necessary and unavoidable.  The trendy radicals went too far for the faithful traditionalists, the vast majority of Anglicans in Africa and throughout the world. 

As the head of the Church of England should King Charles now excommunicate himself? It is a question that is being voiced and will continue to be asked. His leadership and ecclesiastical position is uncertain and unclear.  

An Inspector Calls? Time for Prince of Porkies to be prosecuted?

 There are calls for Prince Andrew to take responsibility for his crimes and taste true justice.  There are questions about his sexual activities.  Are they offensive and an offense against a woman who was badly treated?

There are questions about fraud and misuse of public funds, illegal activities and dodgy dealings, and smearing a reputation, bearing false witness on an epic scale.

There are calls for Prince Andrew and Sarah Ferguson to be exiled after prosecution.

Now there is persecution but the public are demanding prosecution.

These calls for Prince Andrew to face justice and to be held accountable for his actions, the consequences of his immoral behavior will not go away. The Palace press office is, according to journalists and an esteemed biographer, involved in a cover up and complicit in false narratives. How economical with the truth have these Palace spin doctors and press officers been?

There needs to be a thorough forensic investigation into Prince Andrew's use of public funds, tax payers' money.

Justice should flow like a river and the rule of righteousness at the highest levels.  To those who have been given much, much should be expected. That's fair.

Black Theology problems

 Looking at the theology of leaders and founders of Black Theology, there are serious concerns over their low view of the Bible and questions about good hermeneutics.  Cone, for example, said to be the father of Black Theology, has a radical approach to the Old and New Testament documents, in denying their supreme and final authority in matters of doctrine, ethics and pastoral practice. Cone is far from orthodox. His theology can be divisive and contentious. In his original writings Cone is polemical and aggressively anti-evangelical. His soteriology is not rooted in the work of Christ on the Cross, having no faith in salvation by grace through faith unto good works, which God has prepared beforehand that Christians should walk in them. There is no clear teaching on the work of the Holy Spirit in conviction us of sin, righteousness and judgment, as commonly understood by orthodox Christians.

There is a false understanding of human nature, of mankind being dead in trespasses and sins in need of Christ's finished work, the blessed hope in His righteousness and redemption. We are in a perilous condition apart from Christ.  It is a false gospel, not the Gospel of repentance and the Kingdom of God, the faith once delivered to the people of God, followers of the Way, the Truth and the Life. Cone's gospel leads people astray and I would argue in to bitterness, victimhood and alienation. It does not lead people into receiving eternal and abundant life in Christ, having the mind of Christ and finding salvation in Him. It is not a Christocentric Gospel. It is a carnal, unspiritual gospel, lacking spiritual truth, truth revealed by the Spirit of God. It does not have that light that leads to peace with God in Christ Jesus. It is a gospel of condemnation and unrest.

Any theology that embraces Marxism and the false socialist utopian belief in a future built on vain political ideas, class warfare and bad economics will end in failure. Marx believed in the removal of the wages system, which can never work or be implemented by any sane government.  Marxism is the enemy of the open and free society.  Black Theology wishes to chain us to false hopes.  It will never see people saved, sanctified and sealed with the Holy Spirit. It is built on bad foundations, erroneous teaching and dodgy doctrines. In the final analysis Cone is heretical.

When a theology is wedded to a trendy liberation theological narrative, we will no doubt see it eventually be divorced, and divested of its power, authority and substance in the future. It will not stand up to the test of time and eternity. Black Theology is on the broad way, not the way of liberation.
