Summary

In Episode 103 of Tearing Down High Places, hosts Average Joe Gormley, Pastor Jeff Kliewer, and Pastor Tim Robinson dive into the concept of the American empire from a biblical perspective. They debate the morality of U.S. expansionism, including potential acquisitions like Greenland and interventions in Venezuela and Iran. Drawing on just war theory, historical empires (e.g., British influence on India and China), and Christian ethics, they explore whether conquest can be justified for spreading the gospel, restraining evil, or defending innocents. The discussion touches on cultural superiority, multiculturalism’s flaws, and the role of nations in God’s plan, while emphasizing the church’s duty to uphold morals and restrain societal evils.
