“We are Forerunners. Guardians of all that exists. The roots of the Galaxy have grown deep under our careful tending. Where there is life, the wisdom of our countless generations has saturated the soil. Our strength is a luminous sun, towards which all intelligence blossoms… And the impervious shelter, beneath which it has prospered.”

Sunday Scripture: The Sons of Sceva

by | Dec 6, 2020 | Sunday Scripture | 2 comments

11 And God was doing extraordinary miracles by the hands of Paul, 12 so that even handkerchiefs or aprons that had touched his skin were carried away to the sick, and their diseases left them and the evil spirits came out of them. 13 Then some of the itinerant Jewish exorcists undertook to invoke the name of the Lord Jesus over those who had evil spirits, saying, “I adjure you by the Jesus whom Paul proclaims.” 14 Seven sons of a Jewish high priest named Sceva were doing this. 15 But the evil spirit answered them, “Jesus I know, and Paul I recognize, but who are you?” 16 And the man in whom was the evil spirit leaped on them, mastered all[d] of them and overpowered them, so that they fled out of that house naked and wounded. 17 And this became known to all the residents of Ephesus, both Jews and Greeks. And fear fell upon them all, and the name of the Lord Jesus was extolled. 18 Also many of those who were now believers came, confessing and divulging their practices. 19 And a number of those who had practiced magic arts brought their books together and burned them in the sight of all. And they counted the value of them and found it came to fifty thousand pieces of silver. 20 So the word of the Lord continued to increase and prevail mightily.

— Acts 19:11-20, English Standard Version

    Didact,

    See here :
    https://www.unz.com/article/hate-filled-hindu-priti-patel-is-sycophantic-to-jews-psychopathic-to-whites/

    While I have come to conclude that Indian immigration to the US is a net negative (I used to think all skilled immigration that earns above the national average income is a plus as long as they aren’t Muslim terrorists), a lot of White Trashionalists have gone further.

    The above article is pretty extreme, and goes too far. The author hates even ‘right wing’ Indians like Priti Patel and Nikki Haley, due to their support of Israel (as if almost 100% of white politicians don’t do the same). The author also conflates a lot of other things falsely, by saying that since India is the ‘rape capital of the world’, Indian immigration means tons of rapes in the US.

    Muslim Pakistanis in Rotherham are one thing, but I don’t know of a single non-Muslim Indian in the West raping a woman here (and I doubt Indian men are strong enough to overpower a non-Indian woman in the first place). He also thinks that even elite tech Indians are 3 days away from shitting on the streets.

    That, of course, goes too far. But I wanted your opinion on the article and comments for an accurate assessment of what is and is not valid. I believe that you are probably the most fairminded person on such topics.

    White Trashionalists are the dregs of the white population for sure. No wonder the ‘community’ is 100% male and has a lot of gay men.

      I read through most of the article earlier today, haven’t quite finished it yet. My initial view is that, while the writer is full of some very serious vitriol against Priti Patel and others like her, his fundamental points about the incompatibility between Hindu and Western civilisation are correct. I’ll give further thoughts in a Domain Query post later. Thanks for bringing this to my attention, it’s an interesting read, if somewhat difficult to stomach.
