APRIORIAN APOLOGETICS IS AN APPLIED MORAL PHILOSOPHY REFLECTING THE MIND OF GOD

Dominionism is a technology and philosophy with a mission to understand and reflect the Mind of God. The claims and arguments of Dominionists are contained in moral dictums and propositions derived from the analytical technology of Apriorian Apologetics. Truth and reality are logical not physical. Coherency, not consistency, defines the nature of truth.

The failure to understand truth and the nature of reality leads to technologies that do not work. Reality is ontologically and epistemologically moral. To deny the moral foundation of reality is to put ourselves on the wrong path. The result is a lukewarm church, in which tolerance for amorality is the norm. We may console ourselves with the fact we are unable to see into the heart of man and with the knowledge that Jesus will judge the living and the dead, but the truth is that we are accountable to others and for others. Our works are recorded in the Book of Life. Christians think the challenge to their faith comes from other Christians, or atheists. So, long as we are better than the norm, we assume we are saved. The problem for Christians is that the world being logically constructed means good and evil can be quantified. Logic is consistent with morality but not with ethics. Moral truths are analytical whereas ethical dictums are grounded in a regulatory structure.

But why would Jesus keep accounts, if salvation is determined by adherence to ethical laws? On the other hand, if we are moral beings required to live a moral life, how can we earn merit sufficient for salvation, unless we achieve perfection? 

One can be forgiven for supposing that the claim, faith saves and that one is saved by faith alone, means works are immaterial. This idea of salvation confuses God with liberals. Tolerance is not an attribute of God. God is not impressed by claims of fidelity. Even so, our idea of faith turns faith into an emotional reaction. We become the measure of our faith. We decide if we have faith and are saved, not God; at least that is how Christians seem to see things.

Salvation is decided by God and technically what a person calls himself is of little importance to one’s identity, but the ability of anyone to call themselves a Christian permits Satan to vilify the church, by association. The presence of pedophile, homosexuals in the priesthood is of grave concern to the true believer. People who have no interest in the Word of God, other than as a tool to advance their abhorrent practice, proceed through seminary with no other intent than to gain access to children. They do this regardless of the condemnations of Scripture and the vows of Celibacy they take. Without the measure of works, faith becomes a unit of measure that is totally subjective.

There is justification for the claim, once saved always saved but this does not address the issue as to at what point is one saved. If we are not saved by works, what is a protestation of faith and baptism but works? If we are not saved by works, what is faith but the things we do to please God? But who decides what pleases God other than the person doing the works?

Morality is doing what is right because one intends to. Faith in God gives works direction. There is no real distinction between works and faith. The difference is simply a matter of perspective. Morality is the consolidation of works with faith. Dominionism is a philosophy that applies the moral truths of scripture to social problems in a systematic and biblically justified way. Results are validated by outcomes that have a quantifiable component. The scientific equivalent to this is apriology. This is the study of apologetics as a scientific discipline. Apriology is the discipline of empiricism applied to apologetics.

Eph 4:3 And I intreat thee also, true yokefellow, help those women which laboured with me in the gospel, with Clement also, and with other my fellowlabourers, whose names are in the book of life.

Rev. 20:12 And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works.

Rev. 21:23 And the city had no need of the sun, neither of the moon, to shine in it: for the glory of God did lighten it, and the Lamb is the light thereof.24 And the nations of them which are saved shall walk in the light of it: and the kings of the earth do bring their glory and honour into it. 25 And the gates of it shall not be shut at all by day: for there shall be no night there. 26 And they shall bring the glory and honour of the nations into it. 27 And there shall in no wise enter into it any thing that defileth, neither whatsoever worketh abomination, or maketh a lie: but they which are written in the Lamb's book of life.

Rev. 22:07 Behold, I come quickly: blessed is he that keepeth the sayings of the prophecy of this book. 8 And I John saw these things, and heard them. And when I had heard and seen, I fell down to worship before the feet of the angel which shewed me these things. 9 Then saith he unto me, See thou do it not: for I am thy fellowservant, and of thy brethren the prophets, and of them which keep the sayings of this book: worship God.

Rev. 22:18 For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book: 19 And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book.

Liberalism has been the dominant influence since Eden. Mankind has sought freedom for 6000 years. Freedom is a way of saying there is a lack of trust and I do not wish to be linked to you in any way or to any degree. We want freedom from those whom we do not trust. This is not the same concept as the idea of the free citizen.

Divisions prevent us from working together in faith. We must work together to achieve anything meaningful. We are not silos, and we are not interchangeable modules. We are each unique. But when we each practice identity politics, the idea of a common purpose is difficult to establish.

Hierarchies, economic inequality, power disparities and social divisions are all ways to deal with those whom we do not trust. But fear is not a normal emotion. Those who we fear we mistrust. Those who we mistrust we will fear. 

  Apriorian Apologetics, as apriology, has the policies and programs that enable citizens to exercise the rights of owners of our political jurisdictions. Citizens must have the rights of owners to be accountable for how we build up where we live. We cannot overcome our fear and mistrust of others, and the division that identity politics sharpens, without accountability.

When other people represent risk to you there is fear and a desire to divide yourself from them. The elimination of social division requires a strong position on the rights of citizens. If our resources and our wealth is threatened there will be division. Apriologists believe all persons have an inalienable right to what they create. If you support property rights which is the right of all persons to what they create, join the fight for the rights of citizens and the right of dominion. 

We live in the era of liberalism. This period is marked by the lies of the left. We have by these lies been scattered like sheep gone astray.  

The liberal era is marked by a loss of faith. We no longer trust one another. We live in fear of one another. We fear the works that are done in lies. Hate makes us solitary and puts us into silos in which we each become our own god. We cannot each be gods in our own domain and still maintain society. Our individual wants cannot be made into individual rights. We share too much and are too interdependent. We need each other as social creatures. The competing claims of sovereign individuals has resulted in unheard of levels of regulation. The law cannot make us love one another. What happened that MAGA hats are symbols of hate, the fetus is not considered part of the human race and free speech has been abandoned because it may offend someone. No longer is there forgiveness.

.

Governments cannot create society. The state exists simply to give voice to the people. Governments need to be held accountable for their actions; in the same way we all are. Governments must be held accountable when they become a source of division.   

We have a right to hire and fire political representatives who fail to satisfy the demands of citizen shareholders.

Truth requires a quantified method of verification. Truth is measured by value and value can be quantified. God is infinite because He is infinite in His total and absolute value to us.

Apriorism is about rewarding merit, about giving value where it is due.

Apriorism as a philosophy is utilitarian in that we subscribe to the idea that the most useful thing we can do is to create value as an act of faith, to build the church. Community is created by the creation of value. Works add value to the assets of God to build up the people of God. This is tantamount to creating the church.

Eliminating the state adds value to the planet and builds the church. 

Merit only applies to what can be verified to have value. The simplest and most direct response to a problem is the one that produces the most verifiable value. This necessitates a free market.

Personal ownership is the simplest and most direct form of ownership. There is no alternative to the claim that we own what we personally possess. There is no rational rebuttal to the proposition. The validity of a claim is not just based on an empirical experiment or quantified verifiability; validity exists when there is no other alternative thesis.

Personal ownership applies not only to personal property in the ordinary sense, we own what we create. Our creations include our local jurisdictions, our nations and also the world as a collection of civilizations. Civilizations and political jurisdictions are things created by our hands and minds.

Ownership of the world’s natural resources is one step removed from the Creator and is based on the principle of Dominion; the biblical statement that the people of God exist to care for the Creation of God. 

We the people, betrayed this purpose for which we were created. This betrayal began in Eden and has never been rectified. We the people needs to be retired as an idea to be replaced by we the citizens who add value to the things of God to build his kingdom.

Our ownership, that is the possession of the planet by the people of God, comes directly from God, not indirectly through government.

Indirect ownership is a legal right to property given to a subject by the state. The scientific model favors the simpler explanation. Indirect ownership necessitates a superfluous agent, the state. Apriorism rejects the legal rights ownership model. This covers both the private ownership and public ownership models.

Apriorian Apologetics validates truth claims using logic, reason and verifiable data gained through scientific experimentation. Apriorian Apologetics uses objective and verifiable criteria to determine the value of an action and the value of a choice.

Quantified verification makes redundant the emotional protestations of liberals.

Apriorism is the world’s first quantifiable philosophy, i.e. a philosophy that is verified through the scientific method. As we seek the truth and do what is provable, we build the church and this through the accretion of value.

Apriorism is a philosophy that combines religion, science and philosophy. A central plank of Apriorism is the recognition that philosophy and religion both need scientific verification. Apriorists also assert that science needs the direction and purpose provided by morality. There cannot be direction unless there is a calibrated scale of value. What we do must be calibrated by its value according to a standard way of determining what worth something has.

Truth claims are to be verified and be verifiable. If a statement or proposition is true or an action moral the truth or action must be verified in a quantifiable or substantiated way.

Political parties need to advocate for changes that can be measured in an objective, measurable fashion.

Liberals view wants as sufficient to trigger a political response. If enough people want something this legitimizes the proposed reform, in the view of liberals. This is Happiness Utilitarianism in action. The liberal take on Utilitarianism supports democracy. If the majority support a proposal, then the want is legitimate. Yet, we know, truth is not a popularity sport. If the solution to 2+2 cannot be determined by the popular vote, how can political policy be determined by what the majority of voters want? Democracy is organized mob rule. The vote of the majority is given legitimacy by the weight of numbers. This does not show leadership. Liberals merely want justification for what they do and they find this in the wants of the masses.

If 5% of the people voted but everyone who voted, voted for the same person, by the rules of democracy that person is elected. By law everyone must support the decisions made by the elected leader.

The popular vote cannot lead to just law or rational decision making because justice and rationality is not related to popularity.

If we abandoned the cult of the individual and the doctrine of the divine right of rulers, what are we left with? Who has the right to rule? What is the alternative to democracy and tyranny? If we are not to be ruled by either the majority or a tyranny, the only choice left is the market. The market might initially be viewed as the will of the individual, expressing itself through his or her spending choices, but the reality is more complex than that.

The market expresses the will of free citizens. The market is a mechanism of separation, dividing the talkers from the doers. The church was originally a mechanism for producing a free market. What we ought to ask is why both church and state have conspired to keep us from having a free market and from being free citizens. 

The price of a product is not simply what the seller says it is, it is the cost the production process imposes. The price the seller wants is an expression of his or her willingness to sell but the true price reflects the costs the good or service imposes on the community. There is a cost of production equal to the consumption of resources. This is the true price. 

A porno tape may represent only a $10.00 cost to the seller but to the community there are additional costs. Social costs, when factored in, may drive the price up to $50.00. The point being that in a market all costs have to be factored in, not just the direct costs of the seller. This is where consumer markets fall short. In a consumer market the price paid reflects what the consumer is willing to pay. True costs are not factored into the final selling price and therefore costs are often externalized onto society and future generations.

Policies that seek to make things better for poor children may do so, by one metric. But what is the total market cost? There is a real cost, the cost the policy imposes on the community. When we know this, we know the value of a reform measured by the value it adds to the system, irrespective of any personal remonstrances. 

Even in a developed country giving poor children meals because they are not being looked after at home does not solve the underlying problem. Free services teach kids irresponsibility and a learned reliance on the state. The utility value is lower than what is suggested by the monetary costs.

Many will admit that the state sponsored solution is not always the best approach, but they will add that something needs to be done, “We cannot let school children go hungry.” 

There needs to be a greater reliance on the market when dealing with the issue of real costs. For the state or other government agency to see a need and simply respond to the need itself and not to the needs of the community as a whole, is not the action of a responsible person. We need to understand the cost of our policy. We need to respond in a way that is verifiably the right way because it produces the most value for the lowest cost.

To understand how the principle of subsidiarity works, which is the same way the mechanisms of the market work, imagine an island called Aprioria. Aprioria represents a place and a people and is a closed market. All of its costs are contained within the Apriorian economy. There are no avenues for externalization. Residents are citizens. There are no subjects, and no one views another as his or her master or servant. 

As an exercise to understand how the Principle of Subsidiarity works, imagine a citizen that thinks a parent is not looking after their child. 

Aprioria has standards of childcare with verifiable indices, such as scholarly achievements, cleanliness and other requirements. Parents are held accountable for the care of their children.

The child is a member of the community and an asset of the community. The child represents capital investment with an expected return. The parent is the one who has authority over the asset and therefore has responsibility for the value the asset represents. The child’s parents are held accountable for the way the child is brought up and cared for. The Exchange has a right and duty to require the child is invested in sufficiently; meaning he or she is provided with the level of care needed.

If for some reason the child has to be cared for by the community, the child’s parents are still liable for the cost. If the issue is not parental lack of responsibility, the community steps in with direct acts of charity. These are the options available to the community, according to how the community views the situation. Being the neighbors and friends of the family, they are the ones best able to make these kinds of decisions.

If a parent is buying too much alcohol, the community is able to restrict his or her purchases. This is the love for a neighbor manifested and it is the community taking responsibility for his or her neighbors. There are no bureaucratic solutions to social problems. The people decide the solution customized to the situation.

On Aprioria the market operates as what the world understands as a free market. Apriorian markets record expenses and earnings using a unit of account, backed by equity. Purchases are made and income is earned, using the unit of account. The child’s parents are members of a local assembly. Assemblies are associations of citizens which meet to discuss issues concerning their political jurisdiction. In a meeting the issue of the child might be raised.

The citizen is the responsibility of the community in which he or she resides. If a citizen will not work or has become a liability, this is a problem for the community to solve. 

The verification principle is expressed by the value produced by free market activities. The market produces (mp) mp=$x:t1. Production is defined by a given dollar amount ($x) generated, per a given unit of time (t1). If the actions of a specific number of persons lower the value of mp = $x:t1 then this verifies that the actions of this group are in error and need to be discussed and responded to.

If a proposal produces a higher generated value, then the proposal is a good one and can be invested in, in proportion to the projected increase. In other words, the value of a proposition is determined by the value added to the economy, assuming a free market is in operation.

In other words, any act that threatens to reduce the value of the jurisdiction is something that the citizen has a duty to rectify. 

The church is engaged in a Three Front War. We are not all cognizant of it and certainly we are not all active fighters, but this does not mean that the other side is not taking full advantage of our lack of interest, nor failing to use our passivity against us. 

Christians are either engaged in a Three Front War or aiding and abetting the enemy. The battle needs to be fought with diplomacy, conviction and perseverance, but also with logic, reason and the methods of science.

Diplomacy is needed because the rantings of the radical fringe and the bombast of politicians is not enough to achieve the ends we seek. 

The war for souls or converts cannot be ignored either. It is not an easy fight and not taken seriously enough but it needs to be engaged in. As Christians we are saved but our salvation is not the purpose of Christ’s sacrifice. We are saved because he loves us, but we have to think of this love as general not as specific to us. If we believe Jesus is satisfied because he saved you, then you do not understand the nature of the church nor the nature of God’s love. We need to build the church, and this encompasses more than us. We cannot build the faith or the church without dismantling the state. 

The point of Jesus coming to earth and enduring the cross on Calvary was not so one man might be saved. His love for us must be transferred to others in and through and by the church. The love of Jesus is dynamic and has to be shared. This is the heart of the church.

The economic war is the most difficult to understand. Most people see capitalism as a source of conservative values. Capitalists may be opposed to socialism, but capitalism is a liberal concept. It appeals to the fleshy desires of man and carries a message incompatible with that of Christ.

Until we can appreciate capitalism and especially what is referred to as corporatism, we will not fully understand the nature of the fight we are in.

The economic war is in some ways the most important. Despite some lack of clarity, it lays at the center of the conflict. Economics, despite pie charts and graphs, is not a scientific discipline in its present form. It lacks no clear means by which predictions can be made and results quantified and verified.

Liberals are advocates for freedom, but the state cannot give us freedom. The state has no freedom to give. Liberalism is founded on Happiness Utilitarianism. Wants are linked with identity and satisfying wants of an identity, is what the state does to justify its existence.

But the state has no money other than what it takes from others. If two people want to go to the movies and there is only one ticket, the government can only provide a ticket to the one without a ticket, by taking the ticket from the one who has it and giving it to the one without. So, the wants of one identity is played off against other the wants of some other identity, in the identity politics game. Happiness as provided by governments is a zero-sum game played using identity politics.

The rights of dominion is the right to retain what we have created. 

The state has only two possible responses. Governments can take away what someone has and give it to someone else, or they can do nothing and fail to serve any purpose. The more they engage in the transfer of wealth, the more liberal the state. 

Citizens have a right to the resources on which they depend and the assets they create. Science cannot prove otherwise, and the assertion cannot be logically disputed. Apriorians reject legal rights because they are artificial and justify the state to expropriate the wealth of one to give to another.  Power must always stay in the hands of the people. This means the assets we create must remain with the one who created them, unless they are transferred by the owner.

Citizens are considered to be the owners of their political jurisdictions, having all rights thereof. Citizens have rights but the rights we have are the rights of all citizens, but not the rights of all persons. We have no entitlements and thus no claim to anything owned by others. Our authority comes from God and no man can rule over a citizen nor a political jurisdiction under the control of citizens. These are churches.

Our rights as a citizen stem from the fact that we have no rights because we are human. Our humanity is tied to our biology. Our lack of human rights means we have the same rights as all of our species. No one has a right not to be anything. Nor do we have a right to be anything. We have no right, for example, to be supported or taken care of by others. Everyone else has the same rights, we are equals. No one has a special obligation to care for another adult nor a right to be taken care of.

To claim one person is obligated to pay the costs of another person, is to give that person or identity a status not possessed by the people or identity that is obliged to them. Under Christ, no one has special distinction or merit..

Freeloaders are people claiming special rights and privileges. The sources of these entitlements are many and diverse. Some freeloaders are entitled because they are born into wealth or title, some are entitled because of special talents or skills, some are entitled because of birth, or nationality, or race or religion or sexual orientation, or perhaps they are entitled because of economic status. Regardless, the Entitled believe that because of their identity they, by virtue of their identity, have been gifted with a special dispensation, a special claim to the world’s resources or a special claim to what is produced by others. Free citizens abjure all such claims. Our property rights are not qualified by the claims of others. We recognize only the rights of personal property, and this is defined by what we created directly or indirectly. We have no obligation to provide others with what they did not create.

Along this same line of reasoning, "Native American" is an oxymoron. America and Canada are the creation of white men. Natives are groups of people pushed into the wilderness of this continent by people of a higher version of Siberian steppes culture. Natives in North America are more properly considered to be native migrants. White people are indigenous to America and Canada because we are embedded into these civilizations, we created them. Countries are political jurisdictions created by the formation of a social contract. The land they are on is owned by God. No people can just claim land as their own. We only have inalienable rights to the political jurisdictions we create.

Most people think they are intelligent. Most people think they win their debates. It’s almost impossible to change people’s minds, so, most people think people who disagree with them are dumb. People do not disagree with others because of a lack of intelligence. The problem is integrity. Very few people have the integrity needed to accept the truth. Without integrity science cannot exist.

Without integrity one has no wisdom because without integrity one is willing to live a lie and to compromise with the truth to avoid facing an unpleasant truth. With integrity one has to find the truth no matter where it is found. It is not that people are stupid, it is that they lack integrity.

There are four pillars of progress. Progress is the way we measure how much value we are producing. These four pillars are secondary principles or necessary preconditions of the 1st principle. To ensure science backs our decisions we have to have integrity in these four areas: ownership, markets, organization and funding. Progress is only realized through the adoption of these four pillars.

To have integrity we cannot create costs for others. No one has the need or obligation to pay costs we created. 

No one can say another person was born or acquired an obligation towards someone else. We must be able and willing to pay our own way in the world. But this includes not imposing costs on others to prevent them from paying their own way.

If we do not create costs for others, then we will of necessity create or be part of a positive market. 

  Dominion Exchanges are markets where transferred costs are not permitted. Costs cannot be externalized onto society and future generations. Dominion markets are funded by the allocation of goods and services to the Exchange.

  Personal ownership creates dominion markets that use preferred shares as currency. To set up an Exchange requires direct funding by free citizens. Administration of the exchanges is controlled by the Principle of Subsidiarity. Without all the pieces in place no single piece works.

Together the four pillars of progress eliminate social costs. All social costs are cost imposed on society and future generations. Social costs include such things as unemployment, poverty, unemployment, taxation, pollution, debt and inflation. Social costs are the result of mankind adopting ideas based on the law of the jungle.

Babylon is the source of what we call the progressive system. This system is based on laws but seeks to progress by eliminating the law, which pushes the system towards anarchy. Babylon is all about catering to mankind’s fleshly desires. Apriorian works to develop a logical system which we consider to be the seeking after the mind of God.

The first Principle is perfection as manifesting the mind of God. Progress is defined by the movement towards the mind of God. We subscribe to Sola Scriptura as exhibiting the Mind of God. The church is built because in building the church free citizens embrace the way God thinks. Our First Principle is to acquire a grasp of how God thinks and this is progress towards perfection.
