Anomalous parallels

Posted on 08/11/2024 by Jon Garvey

From an article in Spiked: The Guardian put out a news notification that said, ‘Trump becomes the first convicted criminal to win the White House’.

A profound observation, for Jesus Christ was the first convicted criminal to rule the universe.

    Most presidents anmd Prime Ministers were criminals but not convicted. Most bit time newspaper journalists, especially from the left, are criminals and NOT YET convicted.

      Sadly we nowadays have to spread the culpability net even wider, to those running our legal system, intelligence services, academic institutions, and so on. I’ve never before had such a keen sense of why the New Testament advocates support for those in prison – incarceration is fast becoming the mark of the virtuous.
