Show notes:

 

A recent court case involving female genital mutilation - a judge declared a federal law against it unconstitutional

• His argument was that Congress didn’t have the right to outlaw a practice like this
• Is secularism even possible?
• There is a difference between female genital mutilation and circumcision.
• Secularism is crippled and dismayed  

 

Sleuthing C.S. Lewis

• Book by Kathryn Lindskoog
• She wrote “The C.S. Lewis Hoax” in 1988
• About Lindskoog’s accusations to Walter Hooper
• Her charges are that Hooper forged some of Lewis’ work
• She does quite a bit of gnat strangling in this book
• A good controversy for people to be aware of

 

Harmartiology

• The word for inexcusable is used twice in the New Testament
• Romans 1:20, Romans 2:1
