I always like Charles, but then he is at the very top in the WEF and all about ‘The Great Reset’. And to keep up with things from a broader spectrum I do watch the occasional David Icke video on Rumble (the uncensored youtube) and he says the Royal Family are 5th dimensional Lizards who feed on our psychic energy, but then says all the global Elites are Lizards, and really – you can see it in Klaus Schwab.

“The incarnation is a deeply politically subversive doctrine.”
This is so true and to easily missed today. A faith which claims man has innate dignity. A faith in which master and servant, rich and poor, black and white, Jew and gentile are all equal before a divine judge. A God who demands allegiance higher than that of the king — nay, even allegiance of the king himself. All our modern talk of social-justice and woke-Jesus pales compared to the subversiveness of these ideas. Their familiarity has desensitized us to their revolutionary oddity.
Just like he was 2000 years ago, Jesus is political. But not the way people want him to be.

Since when was any child “born through the legs of a woman”? Aren’t women allowed to have vaginas now?
That silly bit of writing apart, the article seeks to make a point about the limits of Charles’ power as monarch – which through centuries of struggle, the British constitution has limited to that of a monarchy constrained by Parliament. Prior to that, our monarchs ruled “by the divine right of kings”, as did most others. It’s not Christianity at all that’s constrained the monarchy, but direct action, often at great personal cost, by the people who he or she serves.
That incredibly bad bit of writing made it unreadable – so I skipped it – the writer is obviously not worth listening to if he writes such weird – is it Woke? But whatever it is – that was far enough for me…I came to comments to see if anyone else thought it just too strange a way to describe Jesus…..
I think you are over interpreting here, perhaps getting too flustered about the trans issue? Euphemism is constantly deployed by people for all sorts of reasons, and I’m not sure that the Bible and other religious writings were littered with anatomical and medical terms for human genitalia….
And if we want to call a spade a spade, why not ‘c**t’, which is a far more genuine Anglo Saxon term than the chilly Latin ‘vagina’ and ‘p***s’ etc.
(Algorithm – what the hell is wrong with ‘p***s’?!)

A lovely essay for a chilly Christmas Eve. Many of us in the States, even those with no sentimental interest, have nothing but the best wishes for King Charles.
Merry Christmas to him. And to everyone.

The world works on scientific principles that the ungodly ignore to everyone’s cost. You create, preserve or destroy reality by following these laws. The Queen followed them and preserved the Empire as best she could. We see in the disparity between Meghan and Harry’s approach and that of the UK, this difference. Europe is a more mature part of the world as America is infantile. We see it simplifying everything by destroying all barriers, just as kids destroy a mature household. They create a mess and we adults have to clear up the resulting chaos but this is the way of the world and again ‘how things work, or cease to work.’ Russia too under Putin is immature and runs on lies and subterfuge as we also saw with Trump. Again, like lumbering elephants in a China shop, they mess things up, not build them up or preserve what has been created.
Queen Elizabeth II did not ‘preserve the Empire as best she could’ but instead her reign presided over its almost complete dissolution. She of course could not act politically and had very little formal power, but we have absolutely no reason to think she regretted this in any way. She does appear to be have been very supportive of the voluntary grouping of the Commonwealth, and this probably made the difference to its continued existence.

Nice article. And, of course (to me at least) totally circular.
In that the power of the god as described above is subservient at the end to those who believe.
One of the beauties of our Constitutional Monarchy is a similar circularity. The Monarch is there to support/defend the people against the “tyranny” of overlords. But the people choose the “tyrants” who are there, notionally, to support the people and at the whim of the Monarch.
Three strands all reliant on each other in dance of limiting the “power” of any of them.

Because republics work so well?
Christian monarchies are really civilised countries, I’ve been to eight of them. Republics are dodgy, been to a dozen of them.
The monarch reigns, he does not rule. But I agree that the ruler of Russia and its self-selected elite should go. They are not even well-intentioned.
Your (first) point is well made. I would like to think that it is a distinction appreciated by Charles, but I have my doubts. I hope I am wrong.
