I'm a Christian, Father, Photographer, Airline Pilot and Software Engineer.
You might guess that John Galt is not my real name as this is a character in Ayn Rand's novel Atlas Shrugged (1957). My real name shall remain a mystery. I highly recommend all novels from Ayn Rand. They speak directly into todays times. And it's interesting how the language has evolved since the 1950's. But this does not automatically mean that I support of all of her ideas.
Minds shall be a place of free expression. My posts are my opinions and my ideas, what I like and what I find interesting. Feel free to up- or down-vote. Remember that an upvote means "yes, I agree" and a downvote means "yiikes, I disagree" nothing more than that. Minds is *not* fb!
Revolver-posters(*) and rage-downvoters will be blocked. If you block me on top of that, I will block you even faster, as I still see your post but have no way to interact with you.
* revolver-poster: A person that creates a high amount of low quality posts on social media. The term is gleaned from the German "Revolver Journalist" which describes a Journalist that favors quantity over correctness or quality.
The words Judeo-Christian are most often used to describe the biblically based religious, moral, and ethical heritage of certain western societies.
But there is a more complete definition of Judeo-Christianity:
"a belief system and lifestyle founded upon the principle of Sola Scriptura (by scripture/Bible alone). The Bible, in its entirety, is a complete and divinely inspired compilation of books written for revelation, instruction, and reproof.
God has a plan that has been consistent through history. This consistency is reflected in scriptures through God’s laws/teaching, the writings, the prophets, the gospels and epistles penned by faithful scribes. God's plan is revealed through explicit command and through stories about God's people. The personal and national examples of the faithful — Abel to Christ and his apostles — inform our understanding of God's purpose and His work in the world.
The Bible is a comprehensive life-map to both a good physical life and the only path to eternal life through Jesus Christ, the Messiah, the Rock of our salvation, the Word, the Lamb of God.
Judeo-Christianity emerged into the English-speaking world during the reign of Queen Elizabeth I of Great Britain in the late 1500s, as part of the non-conformist Reformation movement. This specific reformation realized that both the Old and New Covenant Scriptures were authoritative and superseded any decisions by councils of men (Matthew 4:4; John 17:17; Matthew 15:3-9).
However, this current revival of the "faith once delivered to the saints" in this century traces its beginning to what is sometimes called "primitive Christianity" — the original ‘Church’ that Christ founded and the apostles who continued in that faith.
So this is a channel to explore the truth of the Judeo Christian scriptures, from the perspective of the faith embraced by the early Christians.

People often wonder why we call ourselves, Judeo Christian. Well, we are not "traditional Christians" Catholics or evangelicals or charismatic Christians, nor are we Messianic Jews. We are people who were once part of mainstream Christianity, who came to accept the principle of Sola Scriptura, who reject the idea of "dispensationalism" as being without basis in scripture, and view the Hebrew and Greek scriptures as a unified whole. The scriptures alone offer us a hope of salvation through an everlasting covenant relationship with God the Father through the sacrifice of our Saviour. But this everlasting covenant does not nullify the national covenant that the Lord God of Israel made with his people. So if you are someone who wants to "label" ideas and people, then Judeo Christian is perhaps fitting, as it speaks to our love of God's word in its entirety.

Meet Gerome -The new designated spokes person for this channel. Gerome is not the typical garden variety gnome nor is he a stay at home gnome. Gerome is into art, photography, music, travel and more. He freely speaks his mind. He may not always be politically correct, however it is never his goal to purposely offend anyone. He firmly believes Truth can survive all logical and reasonable debate. Gerome is a skeptic. He believes that Science is only a tool...a method of inquiry ...not a test of "truth". Science seeks to prove a THEORY through controlled and closely monitored repetition. However neither consistency nor apparent correlation of results is actual "proof" of causation. It is merely an indication of the probability of a specific result. Science is NEVER settled. That's why "Scientific conclusions" will always remain theories.... Useful ...sometimes...accurate predictions .. but not necessarily attributable to factors as outlined in the currently accepted theory. Certain things mankind will probably never know or understand. Such matters lie in the domain of God and the realm of faith.

Poof, fluff.

Bad example of a Christian. A military vet, and a political centrist now leaning libertarian. A pop culture observer and New Culture creator. A black American exposing the communist threat infecting Western institutions. Will never bend the knee.
Please don't post enemy media links in comments without asking me first, they get too much attention as it is. I worked for and in the U.S. military for many years, but I don't mindlessly side with government policy or endeavors. I am against compulsory vaccination.
In any CONFLICT between two men (or two groups) who hold the same basic principles, it is the more consistent one who wins.
In any COLLABORATION between two men (or two groups) who hold different basic principles, it is the more evil or irrational one who wins.
When OPPOSITE basic principles are clearly and openly defined, it works to the advantage of the rational side; when they are not clearly defined, but are hidden or evaded, it works to the advantage of the irrational side.

Christian, politically independent person who strives for objective truth. I'm also a nationalist that believes we definitely have the right to, and SHOULD control our borders. We should also control our own monetary policy and eliminate debt based money by adopting honest money.
