Theocracy

Christ asked how people can believe Him if they don't believe Moses (John 5:46-47). The culture is hardened against Christ because we delay in teaching the law. Let's allow the laws of Moses to hammer our hearts to soften them for Christ. Search me, O God, and know my heart! Try me and know my thoughts! And see if there be any grievous way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting!

Walter Block - How Banks "Legally" Cheat You, Morality vs Legality 10/22/2024

Walter Block - How Banks "Legally" Cheat You, Morality vs Legality You can't have more titles to cars than the number of cars that exist. If you do, you don't have a car title, you have a lottery ticket, and you may or may not have access to a car if each person wants to make use of his own car title at the same time. Walter Block and I discuss the following lecture and take some rabbit trails on morality and legality: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pXO4oCTYmQs /episode/index/show/theocracy/id/33562017

Walter Block - What if Pro-life & Pro-choice Are Both Wrong? Dr. Block coined a new position as early as the 70s called "evictionism" which states that in some instances, a mother may choose to evict a baby from the womb, and never to directly kill. If the child dies because it's premature, what realm of consequences would there be for her? voluntarytheocracy.org/40 /episode/index/show/theocracy/id/28454093

Cussology 101 with Paul Terrell PARENTS USE DISCRETION When my dad used to teach 6th grade, he decided to teach about the reasons for taboos and curse words from a Biblical view. Students and their parents continued to remember this lesson for years after, and it's not something I hear addressed by anyone else. We talk about which words aren't as taboo as they should be, vice versa, and why. voluntarytheocracy.org /episode/index/show/theocracy/id/25766022

"The Stoning of Soraya M" Movie Critique 08/30/2022

"The Stoning of Soraya M" Movie Critique This movie probably holds the top spot in pop culture as a reference point for what God's law means regarding public stoning.

Why There Are No Christian Movies with ND Wilson 01/10/2022

Why There Are No Christian Movies with ND Wilson If you're in the film/TV production space at all, or even if you just really like movies or novels, even just the news, I think you'll find this to be a fun conversation because of how much of an underpinning story is to theology and how we understand it. It is the primary way God communicates to us in Scripture after all. We get into presuppositionalism near the end and how people arrive at their positions of faith. I think story is an excellent tool in any storyteller's or theologian's belt. /episode/index/show/theocracy/id/21723269

Kevin Novak - DeconstructingtheColiseum.com 05/30/2021

Kevin Novak - DeconstructingtheColiseum.com I first met Kevin at my local assembly in north Texas. Kevin is in the interesting position of being a prosecuting attorney in Ft. Worth, Texas near Dallas, and he has a pretty radical perspective on God's law comparatively speaking. I think that gives him a unique perspective on what goes on locally, and I think he has some wisdom on what to do about it. He actually has a ministry that has nothing to do with criminal justice on the surface, but everything at the root. /episode/index/show/theocracy/id/19174967

Joel McDurmon - LambsReign.com This is a special interview for me. Dr. McDurmon has written several books that have greatly expanded my thinking on the scope of the great commission. The biggest danger to consuming his work is that it will depress you with the magnitude of work there is to be done and decisions to be made about where to start and how; it's called analysis paralysis. The biggest benefit is that he will encourage you to take action doing the next right thing every day (no matter how small) because there's no time to waste. /episode/index/show/theocracy/id/18411410
