“The Bible is not considered an accurate, absolute, authoritative, or authoritarian source but a book to be experienced and one experience can be as valid as any other can. Experience, dialogue, feelings, and conversations are equated with Scripture while certitude, authority, and doctrine are to be eschewed! No doctrines are to be absolute and truth or doctrine must be considered only with personal experiences, traditions, historical leaders, etc. The Bible is not an answer book.” BookFeelingsAnswersLeaderSourceConversationAuthorityTraditionAbsolutesHistoricalScriptureDoctrineDialogueEtcAccuratePersonal ExperiencesCertitude Author:Brian D.

“Jeremy Corbyn couldn't have won without Labour changing its leadership election rules in 2014, but which more importantly got rid of the electoral college that had given MPs a third of the say over who leads the party. That's why Diane Abbott came last when she ran for leader in 2010, even though in the absolute number of votes she came third out of five. It's one of those wonderful historical ironies that the change to the rules was a victory for the Labour right, the result of a push back against the unions who had been asserting themselves more forcefully within the party.” LastsGivenResultsPartyNumbersLeaderFiveWonderfulCollegeVictoryVoteThirdsAbsolutesElectionUnionsHistoricalIronyRanLabourElectoral CollegeMps Author:Alex Nunns

Kings and generals are endowed with motives appropriate to what the historian values in their actions; plans are imputed to them prophetic of their actual achievements, while the thoughts that really preoccupied them remain buried in absolute oblivion.” IfsNeedsActionValuesCausesInterestingHistoryPlansWrittenEventsKingsAchievementAbsolutesHarmonyHistoricalPlanningMotiveAppropriateMarchBuriedHistorianOblivionProphetic Book:The Life of Reason: Human Understanding Source: The Life of Reason: Human Understanding
“A modern theory of knowledge which takes account of the relational as distinct from the merely relative character of all historical knowledge must start with the assumption that there are spheres of thought in which it is impossible to conceive of absolute truth existing independently of the values and position of the subject and unrelated to the social context.” CharacterValuesSocialKnowledgeImpossibleModernSubjectsPositionTheoryAccountsAbsolutesHistoricalAssumptionRelativeSpheresAbsolute TruthTheory Of KnowledgeHistorical Knowledge Author:Karl Mannheim
