An Evening with Don Spears - July 7th, 2012

My answer to this conversation with Don Spears is found with my Luke Chapter 8 commentary, since it was presented as a part of the July 13th, 2012 Christogenea on Talkshoe segment - William Finck.

One of Don's claims, upon which he bases a great deal of his "Satan in heaven" theology, is that the reference to "gods" in the 82nd Psalm refers to Satan and his angels. However an inspection of the Psalm reveals that it is referring to men, and not Satan, just as Christ tells us in John 10:34-35. If the 82nd Psalm is referring to men, then Don's entire "Satan in heaven" theology disintegrates.

The International Jew, Chapter 1 with Carolyn Yeager - April 7th, 2012

The International Jew, Chapter 1, with notes by William Finck in brackets. At the end are some references from various sources which I collected for the program. Not all of the notes were used.

“Among the distinguishing mental and moral traits of the Jews may be mentioned: distaste for hard or violent physical labor; a strong family sense and philoprogenitiveness; a marked religious instinct; the courage of the prophet and martyr rather than of the pioneer and soldier; remarkable power to survive in adverse environments, combined with great ability to retain racial solidarity; capacity for exploitation, both individual and social; shrewdness and astuteness in speculation and money matters generally; an Oriental love of display and a full appreciation of the power and pleasure of social position; a very high average of intellectual ability.”

—The New International Encyclopedia.

The Jew in Character and Business

The Jew is again being singled out for critical attention throughout the world. His emergence in the financial, political and social spheres has been so complete and spectacular since the war, that his place, power and purpose in the world are being given a new scrutiny, much of it unfriendly. Persecution is not a new experience to the Jew, but intensive scrutiny of his nature and super-nationality is. He has suffered for more than 2,000 years from what may be called the instinctive anti-Semitism of the other races, but this antagonism has never been intelligent nor has it been able to make itself intelligible. Nowadays, however, the Jew is being placed, as it were, under the microscope of economic observation that the reasons for his power, the reasons for his separateness, the reasons for his suffering may be defined and understood.

European Forum Call, Freedom of Association - 2012-03-15

From the Oxford Dictionary of Politics: freedom of association

The freedom of individuals to associate as an end in itself or with a view to pursuing common projects, e.g. through churches, trade unions, political parties, and sporting clubs. Freedom of association is widely seen by liberal political philosophers as a core personal liberty, warranting strict protection by the state, though the exact contours of the freedom, and how it is appropriately balanced against other values, are a matter of considerable and continuing dispute. John Stuart Mill, in On Liberty, argues that citizens should have ‘freedom to unite for any purpose not involving harm to others’, a formulation which leaves open the question of what counts as sufficient harm to others to justify state interference. John Rawls (1921-2002), in Political Liberalism (1993), argues that freedom of association is a ‘basic liberty’ because, and to the extent that, it is an extension of liberty of conscience. [An excellent assessment, and conscience must include religious conscience. – WRF]

European Forum Call, The Parable of the Trees of the Forest, The Story of Jephthah - 2012-02-16

When men wanted earthly kings, it was only natural that the scum of the earth would rise up to rule over them. The daughter of Jephthah was not necessarily sacrificed in the literal sense of the word. Also with discussion of a couple of other topics.
