The Problem With "Experts"

The Protestant Reformation hinged on the question of who had the authority to declare objective truth.i Was the Bible the truth, or was the Pope’s word the truth? Since the Pope contradicted the Bible who were people to believe? Did each individual have the right to answer this question for him or herself?


This is an ancient issue. Since there was war (In Greek, polemos – the root of the word polemics and politics) in heaven (Revelation 12:7), and again at the temptation of our first parents (Genesis 3), the all-important questions have been – what is the truth? And, who can we trust?


Let us turn now to the experts.


In the professional world, the concept of expertise rests on the idea that certain people have developed specialized experience and knowledge in a given field such that they are qualified to give an extra-knowledgeable and therefore authoritative opinion on a given subject. In other words, experts supposedly have more knowledgeable than the rest of us, and we ought simply to defer to their views. The Cambridge Dictionary defines the word “expert” as “a person with a high level of knowledge or skill relating to a particular subject or activity.”ii


Today such “experts” are everywhere. We are bombarded with authoritative opinions to “assist” us in coming to conclusions. There are financial experts, construction experts, diet experts, sleep experts and travel experts. There are experts on language. We have experts on facts, called “fact checkers”. These experts claim to evaluate information and simply inform us what is truth. No need to check for ourselves.


We have experts in geology, theology and evolution, people who claim to harmonize all three. Some, along with the Pope, say that there is harmony between the book of Genesis and Darwin’s theory of evolution.iii They fact-checked evolution – and say, “trust the science”. But this “science” contradicts the Bible. It contradicts the fossil recordi. It contradicts the second law of thermodynamics.ii Isn’t that a problem?


For many of us, our default is to trust the experts. We have become accustomed to having them tell us what to think and what to do. This is the path of least resistance for many even when it contradicts the Word of God.

But we are engaged in a cosmic controversy on life and death questions about good and evil and salvation. There is a great controversy raging between God and Satan, between truth and error. In a world of lies, Jesus calls to the world and says, “I am the way, the truth, and the life: No man cometh unto the Father except through Me” – John 14:6. According to Christ, there’s One way. One truth.


The world badly needs to be reminded to question the experts. Implicit in the concept of the Reformation is the notion that the experts were incorrect, and that theology needed to be reformed. But there never would have been a Reformation if people like Wycliffe, Huss, Jerome and Martin Luther had been satisfied to simply trust the authorities of the day. They read the Bible for themselves and weighed truth against error. Then they acted accordingly.


From the beginning, the only way to “fact check” the serpent has been with the Word of God. “To the law and to the testimony, if they speak not according to this word, it is because they have no light in them” – Isaiah 8:20. Isn’t that the very definition of Protestantism? To test everything by the Word of God?


So what is the track record of many these experts?


Medical experts informed the public for decades that smoking is safe. The leading throat and lung doctors of the United States betrayed their medical oaths and lined up for decades to take money from Big Tobacco.iii


Medical experts claim healthy teenage girls who are confused about their gender should cut their breasts off because it will “help” their condition. Medical experts claim that some men have a uterus, and can “chest feed”.iv


Cambridge Dictionary has decided to redefine the word “woman”,v now including the following definition, “an adult who lives and identifies as female though they may have been said to have a different sex at birth”.


Experts have time and time again given opinions that twist the truth, threaten the public, or both. Often they are compromised and corrupt, selling their so-called expertise to the highest bidder.


Hosts of doctors have given their “expert” opinion that a new drug is safe, only to have it kill and/or injure tens of thousands of people. Rofecoxib (Vioxx) was connected to nearly 28,000 heart attacks in the US between 1999 and 2003. The experts at Merck (Vioxx’s manufacturer) and the FDA claimed it was safe.


Isotretinoin (Accutane) was an acne medication in use between 1998 and 2009 that was recalled due to its increased risk of birth defects, miscarriage, and premature deaths among pregnant women who used it, as well as suicidal ideation and inflammatory bowel disease. It’s use has resulted in multiple lawsuits.


Experts said thalidomide was safe. It was prescribed to millions to treat colds and flus and was widely used in the late 1950s and early 1960s for the treatment of nausea in pregnant women. In the 1960s, however, it was shown that thalidomide use resulted in severe birth defects.i Thousands of children were born with extreme deformations. Because of experts.


A 2014 study found that prescription medication is the third leading cause of death in the United States, with half of those who die using the drug that killed them as directed.ii Every approved pharmaceutical drug had a battalion of experts who were paid to say, “it’s safe.”


Five billion people around the world were coerced into getting Covid “vaccines” produced by companies with a well-documented history of pharmaceutical fraud. Nevertheless, the governments of the western world granted those companies legal immunity from civil suit for their new products. Scores of “experts” proclaimed they were safe, including ex-presidents.iii The Pope threw his influence into convincing the world the shots were safe: “trust the science”.iv


In an incredible statement, Dr. Kadlec, former assistant secretary for preparedness and response at the US Department of Health and Anthony Fauci’s superior, in his first ever media interview, linked COVID-19 not only to gain of function research funded by the NIH, but vaccine research: “We think vaccine research resulted in the pandemic – that vaccine research was the proximate cause.”v According to Dr. Kadlec, Dr. Fauci’s attitude was that gain of function research ought not to be restricted because scientists know best.vi The attitude of many so-called experts is, “who are you to question me?”vii


And now, people are mysteriously dying.viii There has been an “unexplained” 34% uptake in deaths in people in the prime of their lives in the United States in the last quarter alone.ix A similar phenomenon is occurring around the western world.


The Bible has examples of so-called experts, as well. Nebuchadnezzar had experts in Babylon. Pharoah had experts in Egypt. The Jews at the time of Christ had experts in theology. They were all from the credentialed class. They had all the diplomas and degrees. They occupied positions of influence. But when crisis came, the charade of the experts became obvious.


_______________________


i Many think that the Reformation revolved around the issue of Justification by Faith. This issue, along with the other 95 protests of Martin Luther, however, each were underpinned by one issue: the question of truth and the right to declare it. Was the Bible truth or was the word of the Pope truth? Yes, the Reformers protested indulgences, purgatory, the confession of sins to human priests (instead of directly to our great High Priest, Jesus Christ), the claim of transubstantiation in the mass, the immaculate conception of Mary, etc. These doctrines were tested against humanity’s only inerrant compass, the Word of God, and found wanting.

The Sun Is Setting on the British Empire

By Wings of Liberty • October 18, 2025
Humanity is accelerating toward the fulfillment of Bible prophecy and the events warned of in Revelation 13-18. Ecumenism is bringing Protestantism back into harmony with the Papacy. The wall of separation between church and state is under attack from religeonists who covet state power to compel their dogmas on the human population. We have passed another signpost. The Church of England split from the Roman Catholic Church in 1534 during the Reformation over a dispute about papal authority and the annulment of Henry VIII’s marriage. As a result of this schism, Anglicans have long had an established creed similar to the Westminster Confession of the Reformed Church. Like the Westminster Confession, the “39 Articles of Anglicanism” formally rejects the papal claim to universal supremacy for the Bishop of Rome. The 39 Articles of Anglicanism include the following: “As the Church of Jerusalem, Alexandria, and Antioch, have erred, so also the Church of Rome hath erred, not only in their living and manner of Ceremonies, but also in matters of Faith”; “The Romeish Doctrine concerning Purgatory, Pardons, Worshiping and Adoration, as well of Images as of Relics, and also Invocation of Saints, is a fond thing, vainly invented, and grounded upon no warranty of Scripture, but rather repugnant to the Word of God”, “It is a thing plainly repugnant to the Word of God, and the custom of the Primitive Church to have public Prayer in the Church, or to minister the Sacraments, in a tongue not understanded of the people”, “Bishops, Priests, and Deacons, are not commanded by God's Law, either to vow the estate of single life, or to abstain from marriage: therefore it is lawful for them, as for all other Christian men, to marry at their own discretion, as they shall judge the same to serve better to godliness”, and “ The Bishop of Rome hath no jurisdiction in this Realm of England.” The Popes assert they “hold upon this earth the place of God Almighty”. England rejected these boastful claims and the Pope’s presumptuous authority to dominate the minds and hearts of humanity. It is not a coincidence that while many other European countries were suffering under the oppression of the Inquisition, England was advancing toward empire. So vast was is influence at one time it was famously even claimed that “the sun never sets on the British empire”. But a great change has come. For some decades England, which never sufficiently distanced herself from Rome doctrineally, has been increasingly friendly toward the Papacy. Today, the globalism of the Roman pontiff is the globalism of King Charles III. The climate change agendas of Pope Francis and Pope Leo XIV are also shared by King Charles III, the latter of who’s father publicly advocated for population reduction and compared humanity to a “plague”. England is also adopting digital IDs and carrying out mass surveillance and censorship on its own citizens, a practice near to the hearts of the prelates of Rome, to be sure. And now, King Charles III, who holds the title of not only king but Supreme Governor of the Anglican Church, is headed to Rome to hold a public prayer ceremony with Pope Leo XIV. The leader of the Anglican Church has not engaged in public prayer with the Bishop of Rome for approximately 500 years. According to the Royal Palace, “This will be the first state visit, since the Reformation, where the Pope and the Monarch will pray together in an ecumenical service in the Sistine Chapel, and the first time the monarch will have attended a service in St Paul’s Outside the Walls, a church with an historic connection to the English Crown.” According to MSN News, Charles III will also accept a new title. “Charles is also being recogenised for the British monarchy’s historic association with the Papal Basilica of St Paul’s Outside the Walls in Rome, the seat of a Benedictine Abbey, and will be made “Royal Confrater” of the abbey.” Rome never changes. The Papacy has not retreated one letter from its false doctrines. It still claims authority over this earth. It still teaches the false doctrine of purgatory and forbids priests to marry, as well as many more false doctrines which Protestants, including Anglicans, object to. So why this ecumenical development today? The change is with the Anglican Church, which is drifting back toward the once-estranged mother as prophecy foretells. The light of sola scriptura that was brought to England by the Bible is being rejected. It seeks the company of the pope, the pretender to the throne of Christ. Like Israel of old, Anglicanism will say, “we have no king but Caesar.” Of all the Protestant denominations, Anglicanism is the closest to Catholicism. The pageantry and formal rites still have many similarities. England mirrors the union of church and state of Roman Catholicism by unifying church and state in the person of the monarch of England. It has no pope, but it has a king who claims to be the head of the church. Now that king will go to Rome. All roads lead there, it is said, and Protestantism has set itself to prove it. The sun is setting on the British empire after all.

An Inconvenient Study

By AnInconvenientStudy.com • October 15, 2025
In 2016, journalist Del Bigtree issued a challenge to the head of infectious disease at one of the most prestigious medical institutions in the world: conduct the most thorough vaxxed vs. unvaxxed study that has ever been done. The expert took up the challenge and ran the study to prove Del wrong. That study never saw the light of day... until now. Learn the implications and maybe for the first time see what the actual data shows. Too often we depend on medical experts , media, what our neighbor says, or what we have always believed. In this documentary type film learn what actual studies show on this issue. It may seem controversial but this presentation strives to reduce controversy to facts. View and perhaps be surprised and informed.

THE CURSE OF CHURCH AND STATE, PART 4: THE FIRST DUTY OF CITIZENS

By Wings of Liberty • October 3, 2025
“ It is proper to take alarm at the first experiment on our liberties. We hold this prudent jealousy to be the first duty of Citizens...” – James Madison, Memorial and Remonstrance Let us soberly consider Madison’s warning. It is “ proper ” to be alarmed at the “ first ” experiment (in modern terms, “threat”) to our liberties . The first threat, mind you. And, not only is it “proper to take alarm”, but “ this prudent jealousy ” is the “ first duty of citizens .” What a warning! Our world is full of tyrants. There are tyrants on the Left, and yes, do not deceive yourself, there are also plenty of tyrants on the Right. Let us soberly evaluate ourselves as citizens then. Have we, do we, exercise “that prudent jealousy” to safeguard individual liberties, not only ours but the individual liberties of our society? No. If we are honest, the answer is “no.” Collectively and individually, western society has woefully failed to take alarm when individual liberties are threatened. If “eternal vigilance is the price of liberty”, as Jefferson said, we should expect to be enslaved. And we ought not to be surprised that this is precisely what is happening. We are entertained. We are preoccupied. We are self-absorbed. And we have failed to be vigilant for liberty. What liberties are we to guard? We do not have to guess. We are to jealously safeguard as our first duty those liberties enshrined in the Constitution. First and foremost, we are to safeguard the separation of church and state, freedom of religion, free speech, freedom of the press, and the right to assemble. Before considering the existential threat to liberty that Christian Nationalism poses, which is the primary subject of this article, we first must make dishonorable mention of certain other threats to liberty which so many of us have ignored to our shame and peril. Compulsion to use biologically discordant gender pronouns is a threat to liberty. Silence while the world plays make-believe about men becoming women and having babies is a threat to liberty. Government removal of parental rights is a threat to liberty. Suing bakeries to punish them for refusing to make wedding cakes for gay weddings is a threat to liberty. And yes, killing millions of babies in utero is absolutely a threat to liberty. Not only is it uncivil and immoral, it is national suicide to wilfully destroy the next generation of human beings. Killing millions of babies is correlated with western willingness to accept mass migration. There is a need to replace workers the western world does not have. How is that going for you, France? Germany? UK? America? But if any of the above makes you feel partisanly righteous, however, let us disabuse you of your sanctimony. Both Left and Right governments locked their populaces down during Covid. Both forced and bullied their citizens into social distancing and “two weeks to flatten” the spine of the population. What would Madison have said about an America where the government threatens the civil liberties of the entire country, and American’s response was to roll up their sleeves, and say, “fine, Fauci says I need it, and I really want a free hamburger”? We are to take alarm at the First Experiment upon our liberties. And when does that start? Is 37 trillion dollars of national debt a threat to liberty? What about currency debasement? Mass warrantless public surveillance? Digital money tied directly to the Federal Reserve so that authorities can shut your entire life off with the push of a button? No, Christian Nationalism is not the first threat to liberty. Not even close. But it is a threat to liberty and more than this, it is biblically prophetic, as we have discussed. Click Here For Previous Articles You might ask – why shouldn’t the Christian Right take control of civil power and abuse the Left as much as the Left has abused us? And we could respond, and do respond, “because it is unconstitutional”. And it is. But the answer is bigger than that. Doug Wilson, and Jared Longshore. Timon Cline and Lennox Kalifungwa. Stephen Wolfe. These, and many other modern and intolerant “Christian” thought leaders all believe in the establishment of a Christian Republic in America as a cure for society’s ills. What do they propose? Liberty? Far from it. The Woke Left violated free speech through state-sponsored gender confusion and forced pronouns. The Christian Nationalist response is blasphemy laws enforced by the state. Doug Wilson and friends are constantly telling everyone who will listen how great the Puritans in Massachusetts were, and that they founded America, which is false by the way. But they do not tell you that in Massachusetts violations of blasphemy laws were historically punished by piercing the offender’s tongue with a hot poker, or death. Today in Massachusetts, a blasphemy law still exists (although it is not currently enforced), and states as follows: Section 36: Blasphemy Section 36. Whoever wilfully blasphemes the holy name of God by denying, cursing or contumeliously reproaching God, his creation, government or final judging of the world, or by cursing or contumeliously reproaching Jesus Christ or the Holy Ghost, or by cursing or contumeliously reproaching or exposing to contempt and ridicule, the holy word of God contained in the holy scriptures shall be punished by imprisonment in jail for not more than one year or by a fine of not more than three hundred dollars, and may also be bound to good behavior. Are we so blind that we do not see that censorship from the Right is as much a threat to liberty as censorship from the Left? Christian Nationalists claim Swiss Reformer John Calvin is the father of America. This is a dangerous and outrageous falsehood, and will be the subject of an upcoming article. It must never be forgotten that John Calvin had men murdered for the supposed crime of heresy, the substance of which was nothing more than disagreeing with John Calvin. The Woke Left hijacked government to enforce their religion of gender ideology. And Christian Nationalists want to establish Protestantism as an official state religion, contrary to the First Amendment to the Constitution. Doug Wilson and company intend to legislate compliance with the first table of the Ten Commandments. That includes blasphemy laws, of course, but also Sunday ‘Sabbath’ blue laws, and punishments for supposed violations. Violations of Sunday laws historically included whipping. Jailing. Chain gangs. Stocks. And death. And in case you were wondering, all of those things when imposed for simply disagreeing with religious bigots are a threat to liberty. Christian Nationalists want to demolish the separation of church and state in America, and even admit their intention to impose a religious test for public office, contrary to the Article VI of the Constitution: The Senators and Representatives before mentioned, and the Members of the several State Legislatures, and all executive and judicial Officers, both of the United States and of the several States, shall be bound by Oath or Affirmation, to support this Constitution ; but no religious Test shall ever be required as a Qualification to any Office or public Trust under the United States. Doug Wilson and company are openly stating their intention to threaten the liberty of every single American. Madison would have opposed them publicly, were he alive. But he has left the trust to us. Madison as a youth stood outside a local prison and listened to an incarcerated minister preach through the bars of his cell window. The minister had been imprisoned for the so-called “crime” of “preaching the Gospel incorrectly”. Because he had seen oppression from religious bigots firsthand, James Madison had a lifelong animus to the union of church and state. And so should you. It is a threat to liberty, and it is your first duty as a citizen to take alarm at the first experiment on our liberties. ********************************* Sources: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nmSG4U06X2o – Discussion between Walter Veith et al and Doug Wilson where Doug Wilson states he is in favor of the state establishment of the Protestant religion. “I believe the Christian faith ought to be the public faith of our civic polity. That’s why I’m a Christian Nationalist.” – Doug Wilson, minute 33:30. Wilson claims he nevertheless believes in the First Amendment and the separation of church and state, which is disingenuous. He also believes the government should enforce the first table of the Decalogue, proving further that he is really aiming to break down the wall of separation between church and state. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dgkfi191qV0 – David Shepherd and Lennox Kalifungwa interview Pastor Douglas Wilson and Ben Merkle https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=hRZ1eTNX65w – Senate hearing on Covid shot safety, September 2025 https://www.senate.gov/about/origins-foundations/senate-and-constitution/constitution.htm https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qFeIO0ZjdF8 - CNN interview with Christian Nationalist Doug Wilson
