Tattoos, Transgenderism, and Slavery
The Gary DeMar Podcast
Gary discusses a short video clip where a grandmother says that she supports hormone blockers for young people, including her own granddaughters, but opposes tattoos because they're "permanent." This astounding ignorance reveals how people seldom connect what they believe about one thing and how it affects (and contradicts) other things.

The Two Witnesses
The Gary DeMar Podcast
Gary answers a listener question about the two witnesses from Revelation 11. Are these actual people, or groups of people, or something else? There is of course an Old Testament applicability to these witnesses and we must not ignore the OT requirement in interpreting Revelation 11, as well as the rest of the book.

The Gospel is "Not American"

Is Evangelicalism Political?
The Gary DeMar Podcast
Gary continues speaking on the muzzling of Christians. Evangelicals in particular, are targeted as being political by the Left, although this is seldom the actual case. Evangelicals should be political to the extent that the Bible speaks about political issues (which it clearly does), but this doesn't define them as being "political."

The Continuing Failure of White Flag Theology
The Gary DeMar Podcast
Gary discusses several recent news stories about Christians trying to have "dialogues" with leftists about various topics. These types of "sit-downs" are always initiated by non-Leftists and never accomplish anything but further accommodation on the Right.

Trying to Connect Ezekiel with Matthew
The Gary DeMar Podcast
Gary continues responding to a recent sermon by Jack Hibbs about the "end times." Pastor Hibbs try to connect Ezekiel with Matthew as if they are both speaking of the same events. This is not how exegesis, hermeneutics, or history is done. Pastor Hibbs is trying to connect biblical dots with a preconceived future interpretation.

Truly I Say To You
The Gary DeMar Podcast
Gary responds to a recent video sermon by Pastor Jack Hibbs on Matthew 24 and asks "how close are we to the end?" Hibbs makes important hermeneutical points about reading this chapter through the eyes and understanding of Jesus' first century audience, but then quickly veers away from it.

Atheism is a Religion
The Gary DeMar Podcast
Gary comments on several recent news stories about people railing against Christianity. Consistent atheism is a misnomer and no one actually follows their "Imagine no god above us" worldview. They all borrow aspects of what they like from the Christian worldview to prop up their own.

Politics is "Of This World"
The Gary DeMar Podcast
Gary responds to a video from a pastor who claims "politics are not spiritual because they are of this world." He refers to voting as a privilege that isn't related to Christians being "spiritual." Not only does he misunderstand what spiritual means, he also misunderstands what politics are and why we must be involved.
info_outlineGary concludes his response to a recent Wallbuilders show with Mark David Hall on the influence of R.J. Rushdoony. As a historian, Mark David Hall doesn't appear to have done much research at all on Rushdoony. However, there is a simpler answer: many others have also professed ignorance of his writings (on nearly everything) in order to distance themselves from his theonomic and theocratic views.
