“The image of keys (plural) perhaps suggests not so much the porter, who controls admission to the house, as the steward, who regulates its administration (Is 22:22, in conjunction with 22:15). The issue then is not that of admission to the church (which is not what the kingdom of heaven means; see pp. 45-47) but an authority derived from a delegation of God's sovereignty.” MeanHouseHeavenChurchIssuesKeysAuthorityKingdomsAdministrationSovereigntyAdmissionKingdom Of HeavenStewardsConjunctionsDelegation Author:Craig S.

“Monotheism is the primitive religion which centers human consciousness on Hive Authority. There is One God and His Name is _______ (substitute Hive-Label). If there is only One God then there is no choice, no option, no selection of reality. There is only Submission or Heresy. The word Islam means "submission".

“The difference between [socialism and fascism] is superficial and purely formal, but it is significant psychologically: it brings the authoritarian nature of a planned economy crudely into the open. The main characteristic of socialism (and of communism) is public ownership of the means of production, and, therefore, the abolition of private property. The right to property is the right of use and disposal. Under fascism, men retain the semblance or pretense of private property, but the government holds total power over its use and disposal.” MenMeanUseGovernmentDifferencesPowerEconomyAuthorityEconomicsPropertyProductionsSignificantSocialismCommunismCharacteristicsOver ItFascismOwnershipFormalSuperficialPretensePrivate PropertyAbolitionSemblance Author:Ayn Rand
