By ONE principle alone I judge ALL human actions...

By ONE principle alone I observably, logically, consistently, ethically judge ALL human actions governmental, economic, academic, scientific, social, religious, private, intimate, etc. However, what say I regarding Christian faith, theology, ethic, behavior, and so on? To divine revelations and subsequent pursuits I propose as far higher standards thus calling, believing, studying, reasoning, (rightly) dividing, ratiocinating (deducing then inducing), defending, practicing, living, and more, within the context of individual liberty unhindered, untrampled by government, therefore personal freedom of conscience obviously...

Individualism’s Ethos and Creed

To regard hence respect each and every person's Singular Human Right to Consent or Dissent on ALL matters as manifested per each and every person's Peculiar Human Ability to Reason. Without exemption or exception, all considerations must rest upon the aforesaid, else the unethical dilemma remaining unjustifiable ergo unresolvable till resumed and revered the one ethos and creed as determined then established since humanity first reasoned.

Individualism’s Pledge of Allegiance

Private property my country, family and friends my countrymen, consequently the sweaty, dirty, bloody, long worn shirt-off-back my flag for upon the rustic post at edge of field hangs that banner `neath my old hat, however tattered, patched, frayed, stained, worked thus ragged while individually, agreeably therefore mutually, consensually bought and bartered... I pledge allegiance to nothing else and to no other!

Individualism’s Bill of Right (singular)

If such understanding forms and foments, then solely amid ceaseless study, ponder and labor, concluding first in part, later in whole, to logically respect then ethically regard, hence fervently declaring then firmly establishing in this manner.

The propensity, preference and persistence upon observable practice by Each and Every Individual since first reasoned the Specie Human and Peculiar above all other species, thus consistently inclining, constantly insisting the Singular Right to Consent or Dissent regarding Each and Every Matter, indeed without exception as exemplified per unwanted prevention, unacceptable prohibition, undesirable preemption, unwelcomed intervention, unwarranted retroaction by persons ever covetous as well parties ever contemptuous whether private, religious, philosophical, economical, social, political, governmental and more.

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

Quote by Herman Bavinck... Jesus and the apostles used it (Scripture) and derived further conclusions from it through reasoning...

After all, the Scripture was not given to us merely to be repeated but to be pondered and expressed in our own language; Jesus and the apostles used it and derived further conclusions from it through reasoning; the Scripture is not a legal code or a systematic theology but the principium of theology; as the Word of God, it binds us not only in its literal words but also in what is legitimately deduced from it. Moreover, no reflection on the truth of Scripture and therefore no theological activity is possible without using such words that do not occur in Scripture. Not only in the doctrine of the Trinity but also every other dogma and in the entire field of theology, expressions and terms are used that are not found in Scripture. With these names, therefore, the autonomy of the Christian, the right of theology, is involved. And finally, these do not serve to introduce new dogmas outside of Scripture or in conflict with it but precisely to maintain the truth of Scripture against heresy. They have much more negative than positive significance. They indicate the lines within which Christian thought must move in order not to lose the truth of revelation at the hands of heresy.

Herman Bavinck (1854-1921)

The Holy Trinity (1895)

Such a posture should not be surprising, nor considered as lowering Scripture's status, rather quite the opposite; unsurprising then elevating. Quite aligned with traditional Logic as the Science of Sciences, if to understand the aforesaid as merely the study then fine-tuning of the mind's innate even unavoidable abilities and propensities. To compare, the athlete does not study and train so to learn the method of running, rather to improve and perfect (as humanly possible) his/her natural yet unrefined ability to run; so it is with the study of Logic.

With that said, Bavinck implies hence proposes Scripture as Primary Source provided and revealed by God the Creator of all creation thereby First Cause of all causes and effects. In this way, Scripture is not reduced to humanity's considerations, rather elevated not to a higher status but the highest regard and reverence from which to deduce then induce, in a word; ratiocination. Accordingly, at least since Aristotle's work on Logic entitled Organon, inquirers and researchers of all sorts of disciplines, including logicians especially, have emphasized the consistent determinations of names, definitions, then categories, later organized per the Porphyrian Tree or the Tree of Porphyry, and later still as genera and species.

When fire and the wheel were first utilized, invented, and later studied, words like incandescent, luminous, else cylindrical, ambulatory were not initially named, defined, then categorized, yet no less applicable and accurate their longstanding associations and representations. So it is with doctrinal words like Trinity that have been long deduced then induced from Scripture as the Primary Source resulting from the First Cause, subsequently then consistently named, defined, and categorized.

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

Quote by D.C. Quillan Stone... Empirically inescapable the conflict between political presumption versus personal prerogative...

 

The two and only two foundational dynamics underwriting the existence or nonexistence of any government are not the proposed arguments, alleged justifications, preferred isms (or ocracies, if you will), prepared academics rather the aforementioned conflict (per quote) between political presumption, arrogance, force (violence) always driven by the singular human oppugnancy to boundlessly covet versus personal prerogative, propensity, preference always driven by the singular human right to consent or not consent on all matters.

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

Quote by D.C. Quillan Stone... It is important to emphasize two unavoidable, ethical dilemmas regarding constitutions...

 

Regardless, if to prefer, concur thus consent to any particular governmental system and political arrangement, there immediately arises the challenge. One must either ignore else resolve the ethical, moral dilemma per transgression(s) imposed upon others' dissent, however few the transgressed individuals may be, as something other than covetousness manifesting as presumption, arrogance, even violence. Academically and institutionally theorizing in forms of lectures, papers, and books as commonly proposed per rhetorically clever gymnastics like implied consent, social contract, political representation, and so on, can NEVER negate nor mitigate the aforesaid dilemma, remaining always in the mind and soul of rightful dissenters.
