Dr. Jeff Riddle reviews ‘…Matthew Barrett’s comments on problems with modern translations, with respect to the doctrine of the eternal generation of the Son, in his book Simply Trinity (Baker 2021), recently named by Christianity Today as a 2022 book of the year in the category of theology and ethics (read about it here).
Among other things, Barrett points out that in the twentieth century scholars “erased ‘only begotten’ from John’s corpus and replace this phrase with ‘only’ or ‘unique’ instead,” adding that due to this change “generations of Christians were never introduced to the concept of eternal generation” (186). He also announces, “that consensus is now changing, and fast” (187).
This illustrates the sometimes subtle (or not so subtle) theological problems that arise from modern texts and modern translations.
I also covered this issue in WM 207, reviewing part of a conversation between Barrett and Charles Lee Irons, and I did a text note on John 1:18 in WM 56.’http://www.jeffriddle.net/2022/01/wm-222-barrett-modern-translations.html
If something different doesn’t occur at the May Federal election this nation, Australia, is in serious trouble. The two major parties, LNP and Labor, are out of touch with reality. What Australia needs is a party that stands for all Australians. That party, in my opinion, is the United Australia Party.

What a silly question! ‘Do you trust Pfizer?
The answer is a resounding no from author Kurt Mahlburg who joins us for episode 11 of Conservative One: Pandemic Unmasked.
Kurt Mahlburg is a writer who has researched corporate mainstream media reports to build a dossier of the pharmaceutical giant Pfizer’s history of criminal behaviour and questionable ethics.
He has compiled a top list of their most notorious and egregious violations and they are but scratching the surface of Pfizer’s lack of corporate and social responsibility.
Kurt writes for The Daily Declaration as well as Caldron Pool, Eternity News, The Spectator and The Good Sauce. He has his own blog at kurtmahlburg.blog and is author of the book Cross and Culture: Can Jesus Save the West?
His article “8 reasons Pfizer cannot be trusted” can be read at The Daily Declaration.’https://podcasts.apple.com/au/podcast/conservative-one-pandemic-unmasked/id1508102034?i=1000549275221

In Nazi ‘Western Australian Premier Mark McGowan has announced a new Covid health order that will ban unvaccinated parents from seeing their sick children in hospital. The rule comes into place on January 31.
There is the possibility of obtaining an ‘exemption’, but the chances are tiny leaving most unvaccinated parents without access to their own children. Such exemptions would be assessed on a case-by-case basis, according to a government spokesperson.
McGowan has hinted that these excessive restrictions on unvaccinated people could remain in place for many years. This comes shortly after the premier indefinitely delayed the re-opening of the Western Australia border (except to international students).
The new measure forms part of McGowan’s self-declared ‘broadest vaccine passport measures’ that locks unvaccinated citizens out of almost every part of life – including the public spaces which their taxes pay for.
McGowan proudly announced that he would make life ‘very hard’ for the unvaccinated.
“They [the unvaccinated] won’t be able to go to the football, they won’t be able to work in a whole range of industries. They won’t be able to go to concerts, restaurants, bars, cafes, pubs, fitness centres, gyms – all those things will be restricted. Life is about to get very difficult for you… it’s a big encouragement to go and get yourself vaccinated,” said the premier.
Most reasonable people would call that a threat, not encouragement.
Hospitals are deemed a ‘high risk’ location covered under the premier’s general health order that forbids unvaccinated people entry to a wide range of locations.
“Entry into a hospital or RACF by unvaccinated individuals (in those jurisdictions) is prohibited unless an exemption is in place or permitted under compassionate grounds, such as visiting a family member during the terminal phase of their life. In situations where visitation is permitted by unvaccinated individuals, additional risk mitigation precautions are required to be met by the individual,” said Dr Andy Robertson.
Given the data coming out of New South Wales and Victoria – not to mention the rest of the world including 100% vaccinated Israel – it can be stated categorically that being fully vaccinated and boosted against Covid does not stop the spread of Omicron while banning unvaccinated people from these locations does not prevent Covid from entering them.’https://www.rebelnews.com/unvaccinated_parents_banned_from_seeing_their_own_sick_kids?utm_campaign=rb_01_28_2022&utm_medium=email&utm_source=therebel
How did China take over the world? All one has to do is look at most products sold and it is easy to see that China manufactures almost everything we purchase but that’s not enough! Now, with the China virus being expanded into its third year our Western so-called democracies are continuing their ripping away our freedoms at a more aggressive pace. Here in New South Wales Australia the Covid lunacy continues!

I’m originally from southern Iowa and so glad ‘Republican Iowa Governor Kim Reynolds took a public stand in favor of the rights of parents during an interview with a local news reporter on Monday. She specifically defended the right of parents to decide on the appropriate subject matter in their children’s schools.
The interview centered on disputes around the nation regarding some of the books local school districts are placing in their school libraries. Some school library books contain explicit erotic material and have been challenged as inappropriate for school-age children. In Iowa, in particular, six local districts around Des Moines face these controversies.
During the interview, Gov. Reynolds read aloud from one of the books involved, “All Boys Aren’t Blue.” That book includes essays described as a “memoir-manifesto” about growing up gay and black.
She read a passage from the book for the reporter that described a graphic carnal act between two boy cousins. The passage used explicit language to describe boys in the nude having oral intercourse with each other. When she finished reading the passage, Reynolds said she didn’t know if Iowa parents feel that material is appropriate for children in K-12 education. Still, she feels that it is a decision that they should be able to make.
The reporter asked Reynolds if she agrees with Iowa’s Republican state Senate President Jake Chapman. The latter said teachers’ unions have a “sinister agenda” to normalize deviant behavior among school children. Reynolds said she “absolutely agrees” those inappropriate things are displayed in Iowa classrooms and libraries without explicitly commenting on Chapman’s statements.
Some schools around the country have been removing “All Boys Aren’t Blue” from libraries, although the author defends his book as having an “important message” for young boys and girls “struggling with their gender.” He said that removing a “resource” doesn’t mean “Black queer youth” will not experience what he describes.
The governor also described other books being challenged in Iowa, including “Lawn Boy” and “Gender Queer,” including graphic descriptions of sensual acts.https://conservativeamericatoday.com/republican-iowa-governor-defends-parental-educational-rights/
