Gordon MacIntyre-Kemp: Deutsche Bank - incomprehensible contradiction & indefensible union

Deutsche Bank: 

the incomprehensible contradiction

 and the indefensible union

by Gordon MacIntyre-Kemp (14 Feb 2015)

Deutsche Bank on the 13th of September last year claimed that a Yes vote would go down in history as a political and economic crisis for Scotland as big as the Great Depression in the US, has just published a report that states that Scotland is one of wealthiest regions across Europe and can make the case that it would prosper by seceding and going it alone.

The 'Great Depression' headline was one of the most outlandish and frankly ridiculous scare stories of the whole independence campaign.  It came as part of the call from Downing Street for big business to come to the aid of the floundering No campaign...

David Whyte: 'How Corrupt is Britain?'

David Whyte: 'How Corrupt is Britain?', Pluto Press, 2015

Dooyeweerd: Supra-temporal heart of humankind

Dooyeweerd: 

Supra-temporal heart of humankind

God created humankind in His image. In the heart of humankind, the religious root, the center of its being, God concentrated all of creation toward His service; here He laid the supra-temporal root of all temporal creatures. This human heart, from which according to Scriptures flow the wellsprings of life, transcends all things temporal in the service of God. The whole religious sense (meaning) of God's creation lies in our heart, our entire ego, our complete self. This heart, in which according to the Word eternity has been laid, is the true supra-temporal center of human existence. At the same time it is the creaturely center of all of God's creation. The apostasy of this heart, of this root of creation, necessarily swept with it all temporal creation. In Adam not only all humankind fell, but also that entire temporal cosmos of which humankind was the crowned head. And in Christ, the Word become flesh, the second Covenant Head, God gave the new root of His redeemed creation, in Whom true humanity was implanted through self-surrender, through surrender of the center of existence, the heart.

(from "The Christian View of the State" by Herman Dooyeweerd)
