Frederick Faith Debate

A Hagerstown Christian school kept a pregnant student from participating in commencement because she had premarital sex. Critics say the school would have never found out about the sex if the student opted for an abortion, meaning that she was punished for being pro-life. How could this have been handled differently?

The government told a Canadian Christian school to remove “offensive” Bible verses from its student handbook? So, the school did. Where could this lead in the future? Could this happen in the United States?

Russia’s Supreme Court ordered the disbanding of Jehovah’s Witnesses, forcing the closure of nearly 400 chapters, with the Russian government taking ownership of all the properties (known as Kingdom Halls). What are the legal protections against this happening in America?

A teacher’s union is demanding that teachers be provided “gender diversity training” to protect the teachers from illegally using the “wrong pronouns”. What should Christians think about this?

A Maryland high school was in the news for allowing Muslim students to skip class time in order to pray for eight minutes, but only if their grades are good. What should Christians think about this?

Christ’s church is home to the truth and to love. This is because it is home to Christ, Who is Himself truth and love. It is no wonder, then, that antichrist works to undermine Christ’s church with lies and division brought into the church’s midst by deceivers and false teachers. The people of God must beware, and remember what Jesus teaches His followers. This is what is talked about as we walk through 2 John 1-11.

Spoiler alert: Believers must be diligently on guard! But antichrist loses! Because Christ wins!

Panel: This week features the second half of a sermon message that Troy Skinner had the opportunity to share with a local congregation recently.

Christ’s church is under attack! Spiritually attacked with questions. What is truth? What is love? What is the church, and what is it to do? In a world filled with “fake news” can anyone believe anything anymore? Can even God be trusted? There are those who challenge the faith of Christ followers by essentially asking, “Did God really say…?”

This is the state of affairs in the 21st Century. However, it is nothing new. This was the state of affairs in the 1st Century, too. The Apostle John wrote a letter to us, way back then, that we call Second John. Okay, John might have had a different group of believers specifically in mind when he penned what we now call “Second John.” But it is clear to contemporary readers that God had us in mind when this letter was written about 1,925 years ago.

When will Jesus return?  What are the indicators?  Will He return at all?  How do we know?  Has He already returned?  If so, in what sense?  And what do all these questions mean for you?  If Jesus is not coming again, what does that say about God, faith, the church, and society as a whole?  If He is returning and yet to come, what does this say about how one should live their life and prepare?  If He has already returned, what does this say about the world in which we now live and what happens next?  This is part 5 of 5 in a multi-episode arc of shows on this topic.

Panel:  Troy Skinner, 930 WFMD Moderator.  Dr. Jace Broadhurst, Pastor at Poolesville Baptist Church.  Travis Finley, blogger and podcaster with a Master of Divinity degree from Reformed Theological Seminary.

When studying the Bible for answers to these sorts of questions, is it okay to allegorize biblical prophesies or should things be understood more literally?  How literally?  How allegorically?  And why?  How should this be done to remain within the scope of orthodoxy?  This is part 4 in a series of 5 shows during which a Full Preterist tries to explain his view and persuade two Partial Preterists to consider his viewpoint.
