Modern Dogma

We apply our last episode about keeping doctrines in balance and explore how the natural pessimism of premillennialism is counteracted with two gracious forces.

How do we stay "balanced" in our thinking while navigating the day's most difficult questions? We touch a bit on the polar extremes of critical race theory and Christian nationalism, Hegel's dialectic, and God's prescription for keeping a level head.

An exchange between Lizzie Marbach and Rep. Max Miller of Ohio remind us of why American Christians only stowaway with political conservatives on the Conservative Boat.

Why does Moses ask his brother-in-law, Hobab, to act as Israel's guide when God provided guidance through the cloud and pillar of fire?

We discuss SBC Pastor Larry Lin's viral article, "How I Came to Affirm Female Ordination." We discover the surprising mechanics of Pastor Lin's theological transformation, likely compounded by the fact that he's a nice guy. And we discuss how the enforcement of the Mosaic Law provides guidance against doctrinal compromise.

Our new MEDIA series are interactions with various pieces of media from a Christian worldview.

Today we aim to eventually discuss Southern Baptist Convention pastor Larry Lin's article making the rounds on Twitter titled, "How I Came to Affirm Female Ordination."

But first, we start with Lin's foundations: a hermeneutic which denies the accessibility of the "plain" understanding of scripture.

There are no unaccountable bureaucrats in God's government.

Decades after Nixon closed the dollar's gold-convertibility window and ushered in our fiat currency global monetary regime, gold continues to hold the fascination and allocation of investors and speculators. Yet, by and large, no one is truly able to understand it--because to understand gold requires God.

What submission to government tells us about conspiracy theories and conspiratorialism. How QAnon and critical race theory are way more similar than most people think. And yes, we talk about COVID mandates. If I have not offended everyone by the end of this episode, I have failed at my one life goal to be an inflammatory Internet personality.

God calls us to "submit" to government--but what does "submission" mean? And who, exactly, are we submitting to? A discussion of common misconceptions.
