Against UAP Disclosure?

Last updated on: June 1, 2024 at 11:49 am By Ted Peters

Since 2017 the movement pressing for government disclosure of UAP documents has picked up avalanche force. It is now crashing down on the U.S. Congress. It is also now widely recognized and accepted that scientists should have access to as much data as possible to conduct research on anomalous aerial reports. Resistance to disclosure is frequently justified by government claims that disclosure would put national security in jeopardy. Most scientific researchers accept this. Yet, some voices seem to scream for disclosure even if the wall of national security gets breached. Is this a good idea? There may be good arguments to support disclosure only to the extent that national security remains protected. Read more

My Appeal to Heaven on Christian Nationalism

Last updated on: May 26, 2024 at 3:52 pm By Ted Peters

Might we legitimately interpret the pine tree on the "An Appeal to Heaven" flag as an invocation of divine justice to render judgment against our nation when it sins? To appeal to heaven on Christian nationalism could very well petition God to render judgment against earth on behalf of a heavenly dose of justice, compassion, and peace. Read more

Response to Underwood on Christian Nationalism

Last updated on: May 24, 2024 at 4:28 pm By Ted Peters

Intra-Christian fighting over Christian Nationalism draws attention away from confronting the real existential problem America faces, namely, the threat of a tyrannous autocracy posed by the MAGA-Moscow army within the Republican Party. If Donald Trump can keep Christians clawing at each other’s throats, he can watch the blood spill while walking away with votes. Read more

Islam on the Trinity? Trinity 3

Last updated on: May 23, 2024 at 9:04 am By Ted Peters

Muslims fear that the Christian understanding of God as Trinity denies Allah's oneness. Christians commit shirk. But Christians affirm God's unicity, even if it is a dynamic interactive unicity. Read more

Last updated on: June 15, 2024 at 6:33 pm By Ted Peters

The UAP Transparency Act of 2024 gives scientific ufologists hope that government revelations will tell us the truth about Unidentified Flying Objects. But, if national security documents remain Top Secret, can we trust those which get declassified? Read more

Barmen on Christian Nationalism

Last updated on: May 18, 2024 at 10:41 am By Ted Peters

1 Comment

In 1934, the Nazi hate speech forced the followers of Jesus Christ to make a public confession. Karl Barth, principal author of the Barmen Declaration, asked: what should be considered orthodox Christian and what must be rejected, anathematized, and opposed. If Jesus Christ is Lord, then neither Berlin nor Washington are. Read more

ELCA on Christian Nationalism

Last updated on: May 24, 2024 at 9:57 am By Ted Peters

In the ELCA document, "We Are Christians Against Christian Nationalism," Lutherans reject not only the MAGA-Machiavellian threat to democracy but also those Christians who support it. As helpful and as inspiring this is, we still need vigalence to avoid scapegoating large segments of the American population such as evangelical Christians. Read more
