Welcome to the Plodcast! Listen in to hear Pastor Doug address guilt and totalitolerance. Then he goes on to plug the book, Suicide of the West, based off of a review written by David Bahnsen & Brian Mattson. Finishing things off with a look at the Greek word “hamartia”. Happy Plodding!

Show Notes:

 

Guilt & Totalitolerance:

• Many of the liberties that are being offered to Americans are bribes
• They are bribes from an establishment that wants a docile and easily manipulated public
• The fact that Americans have indulged themselves in so many ways, means that they are carrying a fundamental burden of guilt
• A guilty people will be the most fiercely moralistic people
• There is a tight connection between guilt and totalitolerance
• Preachers need to realize this and start preaching free grace

 

Suicide of the West:

• This is a review of a book review
• The review was about Jonah Goldberg’s “The Suicide of the West”
• The review was by David Bahnsen & Brian Mattson
• They both give this book a rave review, dinging Goldberg for his atheism
• Gratitude requires an object, gratitude presupposes relationship
• If you don’t have metaphysical money in the bank the checks you wright are all going to bounce

 

Hamartia:

• Continued from episode 43, means sin
• Mentioned 6 times in the book of Mark
• Mark 1:4,1:5,2:5,7:5,9:5,10:5
