6:00 this argument (in addition to it's what the Bible teaches in multiple places) is why I am a flat-earther. In the biblical cosmology, God's throne is literally right on top of the firmament right over our heads, looking down on us. It's a real and present God, as opposed to the distant, forgettable God that Satan would want the world to believe in, if we had to believe in God, the God that is somewhere out there beyond infinite space (a logical fallacy I might add. You can't have anything beyond the infinite.).

I would actually argue that in the book of Acts the times when the head of the home professed their faith they were baptized and their entire home. The fact that the entire home was then baptized could imply that children not old enough to profess their own faith were too baptized. Even if there were not, it shows the process the early church stuck with. Preach the gospel and baptize all who believed including those that were in the home of a father leading their homes as a family shepherd.

Another critique of Piper's emotionalism over knowledge and reason: "The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it?" Jeremiah 17:9 That's Jehovah God speaking directly btw.

Piper comes off as naive in this discussion with regards to black voting habits. His black friend may reason in his head that he voted for Obama based on a handful of issues, but the truth is that all minorities, especially blacks, use their political power as a monolith, thus he voted for Obama literally only based on the color of his skin. Whites, afraid of being called labels made up by the Frankfurt School, founded by a certain ethnicity that hates whites and Christianity, refuse to throw their political weight around for their own self-interest, at the expense of their children and children's children. They sell their future for their appearance. Whites in the west essentially drive the dagger in their own children's backs themselves to save face with people that hate them. They hate them not because of their actions, but because of who they are (their immutable attributes), thus no action they take will make them be liked by those they hate them. They kill their own children's future for naught. It's the great tragedy of our time.

A Calvinist trying to explain the Bible 🤣🤣🤣

Think less on being a pastor or seeking what church leaders want of you, getting lost in that church structure. Give your whole life to Jesus & ask him personally what "he" wants of you. He may lead you into learning, then send you to work where he desires, such as a factory down the road, where he may have you getting to know a lot of people whom you may be called to testify to or to help them better understand the lord & how sin (such as drinking) destroys lives & separates people from God. Become his disciple, sent into the world, rather than stuck in a church. You'll have a lot more freedom to speak truthfully & say the hard things , rather than what most pastors do, conforming to the ideologies of their denominations & needing to keep everyone happy to keep those dollars rolling in.

My singleness is not an affliction. It is killing me. It feels like an unshakable curse. I am swimming in sadness every single day. Porn doesn't work. Vaping doesn't work. Music doesn't work. Nothing works.

Hitchens has a cold

Humans: "Aw, that's so wholesome!" God: "🤢"

This is exactly what I’ve been trying to communicate to myself and others regarding the current push by many American so-called “Patriots” making attempts at “restoring our Constitutional Republic…” The reality is the very establishment of this Republic was hinged on the singular idea of Christian Nationalism, which, in contrast to the modern makeup of our nation, was the overwhelming majority makeup of the nation back then. When John Adams stated, “Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other.” He was speaking from an assumption that Christian Nationalism is foundational. Without the foundation of Christian Nationalism to build upon, the Republic CANNOT be restored.

Anyone who needs a drink for a brief conversation with their Pastor has a problem with alcohol. Message to my beloved brothers and sisters: THIS IS NOT GOOD LEADERSHIP!

Romans 9-11 has a very happy ending: "God has committed all to disobedience that he might have mercy on all ... From him and through him and to him are all things." (Romans 11:32,36) Romans 8:20-21 is similar.

I’m thinking this woman is probably a “progressive christian “ . She likely doesn’t think it’s a problem for kids to be subjected to the LGBTQ agenda.

Warren tries to act like nobody had ever read the great commission or the story about Magdalene discovering the empty tomb. He is just such a tool

I’m disappointed. As a Christian who has had massive struggles with alcohol and whether I am apostate, I hate to see whisky on the table. Doug I’m not familiar with, but Voddie, it surprised me to see him sitting down at a table with a poured drink. Alcohol is not sophisticated, it is dangerous.

👍👍👍

This is just warmed over civic nationalism. Erica Metaxas, a Christian evangelical influencer, said America is an idea. Ronald Reagan said anyone from anywhere can come here and become an American. But that was never the vision of America until the civil rights movement after World War 2. The 1828 Webster's dictionary is the first American dictionary and still the most popular home schooling dictionary today. It defines Americans as "descendants of Europeans born in America."

greek gods were for the most part deified natural phenomena....

These sweater vest dialogues are awesome.

does that mean john was written before 70 ad?

Two of the best voices for the truth of God's Word. May God bless you both!

The same problem is seen in Roe v Wade. What is Roe v Wade a debate about? Some would shout 'abortion' without hesitation while others would say its about how government functions to make and enforce laws.

Amazing great energy

extremely based

Self-praising discussion between two gluttons.

Both of these men are kings of analogy. They have such a profound, god-given ability to help people understand and comprehend God's truth in comparison to reality.

God said to say, He cannot wait for Dougie to show up! He's got an express elevator to the nether regions He wants to try out. Well, a hole, anyway, leading straight to that Other Guy who's guiding dougie! I direct you to Matthew 6, and remind you of Jesus' words, in John 13:34. Y'all are way, way off base!

Doug, I've seen these arguments repeated so many times in my life. Look, Elders and Deacons in the church are for the LOCAL church only, the LOCAL body of believers. Only the LOCAL body can elect them. They are LITERALLY the Elders and "Servants" in THAT local Body of believers and have absolutely NO authority anywhere else. It is a hold-over from the days when Jewish converts would assemble in the Synagogues. Later Paul instructed Timothy to maintain that tradition. The Callings of The Holy Spirit, on the other hand, are for the WORLD-WIDE BODY of Christ. Read that again. They can go across town and be recognized, across Country and be recognized, around the World and be recognized. Take "Bro. Terry" who is and Elder in a LOCAL church, he travels to Texas, and has NO AUTHORITY as an Elder in any church in Texas. The Apostle Paul however, can go ANY where to ANY church in the WORLD and be recognized as an Apostle/Missionary/Evangelist, whatever of The Lord Jesus Christ. They can serve anywhere in whatever capacity the Holy Spirit equips them for. A Woman CAN absolutely Preach, Missionize, Evangelize, Pastor, etc. She is called and Equipped by God, The Holy Spirit to do so. NOT to mention woman were called Pastors in the Old Testament... How did the wool get pulled over so many eyes and gotten tricked into thinking "Elders and Deacons" were the same as Holy Spirit Gifts/Callings?! They are not the same. Never were.

Rick Warren mind is all messed up this is demon possession Hebrews 5 ( 12-14) for when for the time ye ought to be teachers ye have need that one teach you again which be the first principles of the Oracles of God and are become such as have need of milk and not of strong meat for every one that useth milk is unskillful in the word of righteousness for he is a babe but strong meat belongeth to them that are of full age even those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil i don't mean no disrespect but if anybody listens to Rick Warren get ready for the great barbeque someone help that poor man he is totally out of God's will

How about before humans ever believed in jesus? Before 2000 years ago. Humans believed in sun gods, moon gods, rain gods etc etc. Thats enough proof for me to know humans want to believe in a god simply because its a comfort blanket from the unknown. 10 comandments were designed to keep people civilized.

Bascially...its human imagination.

In addition, we live in a Romans 1 society where covenant-breaking is the norm and men and women have no idea about a husband and wife becoming one flesh. As the matter of fact, society bends itself like a contortionist to avoid those two biblical terms, instead substituting words like “partner”, “life-partner “, “my person”, “my special someone”. If we’re not willing to identify what is, we’re not willing to fulfill the definition of such.

Wait a second, Doug! Why should marriage come under the authority of the government instead of the authority of the church? True, marriage does create property and custody issues, but the Apostle Paul dealt with lawsuits between believers in 1 Corinthians 6. Why shouldn’t the church be the arbiter of marital disputes?

There's no such thing as a Christian nation on earth. No, kingdom now. Believers are in heavenly places in Christ now, before the throne, under the rule of God. Jesus himself said his kingdom is not of this world. The kingdom will indeed come, when Jesus comes to establish the kingdom on earth.

That's weird. I don't remember Aslan fighting a Dragon Eustace and forcing him to take off his dragon-ness. I remember Dragon Eustace wanting to not be a dragon anymore and realizing he needed Aslan to do it. Furthermore, how does Aslan saying that they wouldn't have called on him if he didn't call them first equal him meaning that him calling them forced them to call on him? It's not honest to say CSL was a Calvinist when he clearly wrote against it.

Re Tolkiens noninclusion of religion, having been there in the 80s. The Church was struggling still in the aftermath of WW2. In his experience with and in both wars, i can see how his relationship with spirituality may have suffered and not had the depth for inspiration

Apologia podcast intro brought me here.

Neutrality is the philosophical fig leaf of polytheism.

So........ Polyamory is 'in'? 'Trans' parents are 'in'?

A quote from "English Literature in the 16th Century" that is worth considering in this context: "Grotius . . . asserts that the Law of Nature, actually derived from God, would be equally binding even if we supposed that no God existed. It is another way of saying that good would still be good if stripped of all power. It is the extreme opposite of the Calvinist view, which comes near to saying that onmipotence must be worshipped even if it is evil, that power is venerable when stripped of all good; and it is no doubt incomparably less dangerous to theism . . . In the magician and the astrologer we saw a readiness either to exaggerate or to minimize the power and dignity of Man. Calvinism perhaps satisfies both inclinations by plunging the unregenerate man as deep as the astrologers and exalting the elect as highly as the magicians."

It that a bottle of liquor?👀

What a naive, straw man version of Eastern Orthodoxy. And I guess he wouldn't have danced with David before the ark of the covenant, which was an ICON (not an idol) of the throne of God.

Dad was a coward asshole while my mom is a living incarnate of livia sopranos. The thought of marriage never visited my head

At forty I’ve heard this junk my entire life and so sick of it. Stop speaking to me like I’m an idiot. I was there in middle school , a handful of girls were having sex with anyone who winked at them and were pregnant before graduation. One was allowed to kill her baby and was no better off. I had smart parents that thought me how it really was and by God’s Grace here I am never having killed anyone. It is all a lie, killing anyone will not make you more free.

This is so good! Thank you for sharing this. I just found this channel it is full of biblical wisdom🙏

I think Doug framed this wrong. He used the term free market for capitalism. But disttibutists or localists do not regard glibalist forms of capitalism as a free market. Rather it is a market made up of cowardly men that are afraid to stand up to large industries in local communities. The three acres and a cow is a hyperbolic model used to illustrate not a practical goal. Localists can address the issues of a city without being neo luddites or anarcho primitivists. Distributism/ localism is not an end goal as much as a tendency towards local.

I rather listen to women on fire preaching...than dead preaching men....God did not forbid women to preach the apostles did......

Not “were.” Are.

The fact that there was a bottle of liquor on the table made me turn it off quickly. How is that a good idea? Don’t tell me it’s not a sin to drink alcohol. It is a stumbling block period. Shameful

Perhaps a better question should be, "Do you mix christianity and what Moses specifically warned you not to do?"
