Quote by Abraham Kuyper... Finite reasoning can never obtain the infinite as its result...

Many would argue; humanity continues to increase it's knowledge by discovering, experiencing, learning, applying, observing, so much so, appearing as though endless, even infinite the extent of such progression. And let us say there there is no doubt regarding the aforesaid while striking a line anywhere along history's timeline past, present, future, from humanity's creation theologically else humanity's evolution philosophically until now then beyond this side of heaven theologically else this side of mortality's end philosophically. To note, the logic and consistency remain per ether posture and presupposition, although 19th century Western history would suggest even propose the incremental digression from Logic as the Science of Sciences soon following the incremental digression from Theology as the Queen of Sciences. 

In so doing (to continue), one must confess else pretend otherwise the ever present state of finiteness per humanity's existence and various abilities then capacities.

With that said, if to reject God, the Infinite, the Absolute, then one's imagination amid the departure, the depravity conjures endless absurdities as possibilities, that is to say, wildly fabricating inconsistencies as though consistencies, contradictions as though concurrences, thereby fantasies as though realities, while emotionally slanderous, even irrationally violent towards those who critique. Upon continual digressions, psychosis would be the logical diagnosis if unaffected humanity's organizations, associations, religions, universities, sciences, institutions, governments, etc. Unfortunately, the ill effects cancerously widespread. In brief, if to deny the Infinite, then too easily dismissed thus covetously ignored the Finite.

Come let us Reason. Peace is always a Choice.
Study, Ponder, Labor, till last Breath.

Quote by Abraham Kuyper... No man has the right to rule over another man...

 

The theologian and polymath Abraham Kuyper, while later becoming ironically the prime minister of The Netherlands, nevertheless identified a commonly (and conveniently) ignored dilemma per government's perpetuity upon presumption over each new generation without extending inquiry and certainly without soliciting consent. Thomas Jefferson, while later becoming ironically the 3rd president of the United States, also identified the same commonly (and conveniently) ignored dilemma aforesaid a century earlier.

I set out on this ground, which I suppose to be self evident, 'that the earth belongs in usufruct to the living:' that the dead have neither powers nor rights over it.

Thomas Jefferson (1743-1826)
Letter to James Madison (1789)

Yet still in 2026, Americans continue to be burdened even oppressed by documents, addendums, legislations, regulations, taxations, expenditures, debts, treaties, and many other government arrangements established and instituted by prior generations recent and distant. The dead truly remain to rule over the living, and do so without question. To clarify, this is not a call to reject the past wholesale, rather the right to reassess, revaluate, reprioritize, reaccept the conditions as a society although more critically thus logically, consistently, ethically as individuals.

Come let us Reason. Peace is always a Choice.
Study, Ponder, Labor, till last Breath.

Is 1:18, Mt 5:9, 2 Tm 2:15, Cl 3:23

Quote by Abraham Kuyper... There lies a mystery in the human mind...

 

Unless deluded enough to fully or sufficiently pride oneself thereby ceases to study, to ponder, to labor, thus to think, to consider, to reconsider (just as important), to listen, to read (books, not blogs), to learn (till last breath), and more. Consequently, one will speak full of presumption and arrogance upon covetousness with much disrespect and disregard towards anyone who disagree, even emotionally diss and slander those who critique his/her inconsistencies unavoidable per such posture. Therein the failed and depraved state that modern society dwells, exemplified ceaselessly by multitudinous inconsistencies conjured, schemed, then embraced.

Claiming to be wise, they became fools, and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for images resembling mortal man and birds and animals and creeping things. Therefore God gave them up in the lusts of their hearts to impurity, to the dishonoring of their bodies among themselves, because they exchanged the truth about God for a lie and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever! Amen.

Romans 1:22-25 (ESV)

Do not limit this portion of Scripture to those matters within the four walls of church even the soul, rather to all matters within and beyond academics, sciences( medicine too), politics, economics, moralities, etc. It should have been no surprise when tossed to curb in the late 19th century the adage and emphasis Theology the Queen of Sciences, that soon tossed too the related adage and emphasis Logic the Science of Sciences. However worse, the two digressions occurred largely unnoticed preempting the potential surprise. Coincidence? Correlation? Causality? It would be covetously foolhardy to categorize as the first or second hence scoffing the third.

Come let us Reason. Peace is always a Choice.
Study, Ponder, Labor, till last Breath.

Quote by Francis Schaeffer... Actually we break the last commandment, not to covet, before we break any of the others...

 

Quote by Abraham Kuyper... All "special" revelation postulates common grace...

For prior to every human action seen is the singular human right to consent (or dissent) not seen...

To note, quote taken from my forthcoming 14th book Gambit & Game, or more verbosely entitled Neglected Matters as Studied, Pondered & Labored o'er Whiskey, Tobacco & Chess thus Gambit & Game; a fictional series of conversations between two characters while drinking whiskey, smoking tobacco and playing chess (obviously, per title). Conversations to be of topics as empirically, logically, ethically analyzed then proposed in the last 3 books (trilogy) regarding the Peculiar Human Ability to Reason as manifested by the Singular Human Right to Consent. Chess games annotated in the book to be actual 19th century games as played by masters and contenders, as recorded by match monitors or casual observers. Projected publication most likely latter 2026 or sometime 2027. 

If the intent was ideological progression or clarification regarding unalienable right(s), then Mr. Jefferson failed miserably...
