Reasoned Refrain

A quick statement about alcohol, since I've got much feedback on the subject.

Then my three favorite news stories from the last week: A Florida Sex-Trafficking Bust, Ticketmaster's Orwellian Covid policy, and Bernie Sanders's ideal job in a Biden administration which leads to an infrequently occurring segment known as: For Six Jokes... and For Seven

Then we talk about abortion. We ask and answer some questions about it from the Bible and then look a little into both the recent and distant history that has brought us to the reality that we're in concerning abortion.

My three "favorite" news stories are the election results, or lack thereof, Carl Lentz's recent fall from Hillsong fame (

In this special mid-week episode of Reasoned refrain you'll hear a discussion we had in a Monday night theology chat group that a friend of mine hosts. This week was the last meeting with a core member, Thomas "Toy" Ferrell, so we decided to have the discussion we always touched on but never did fully: Calvinism vs. Arminianism or Free Will vs Total Predestination. Those present contributing to the wonderful conversation (in the order in which you hear their voice) were Myself, Thomas Ferrell, Tim Dishong, John Cooksey, and Stan Newton.

In this episode I cover my three favorite news stories: the election, Kamala Harris's communism, and Michigan's misunderstanding of human nature. Then we talk some ecclesiology: study of the church. Beyond who runs it (discussed in a previous episode) What's its purpose? Who's in it? How is it organized? How does it function? How should it operate? And of course, what does the Bible have to say?

It's an all politics kinda day given the election coming up. First, my three favorite news stories: ACB confirmation, a woman in Ohio who performs marriages, and California's crazy public health proclamation. Then we talk about voting philosophy, voting in the Bible, voting history, and assess the pros and cons of the two major parties and candidates. Then I tell you who you should vote for... the answer may surprise you.

My three favorite news stories this week involve AMC theaters, two Joe Biden quotes and two Ben Sasse sound bites. Then we spend some time walking through Revelation 21 thinking about what "heaven" will be like. ("Heaven" is in quotes because what we really mean is "new earth.") Then I take a quick side-journey through some Jonathan Edwards hellfire before finishing back up in Revelation 22.

Yes "Pig Dogs" is a reference to Monty Python and the Holy Grail. Don't @ me. 

The first half of the show I talk about a more honest form of evangelism and analyze what's commonly called "friendship evangelism." The main point in the second half can be summarized with the phrase "You is Not Me." I walk through a few of the phrases in the Sermon on the Mount which I notice are routinely taken out of context and discuss some of the possible problems that can come from routinely putting oneself into the Bible where oneself is not present.

A grab bag episode. I give some exposition on my succinct debate analysis: an angry toddler tried to beat up an old, old man who was hopped up on riddilin. Chris Wallace repeatedly protected the old, old man and the toddler got more angry and more toddlerish as a result. Then we talk a bit more about Covid and the concept of an unfalsifiable claim. Finally, a quote from Matthew Yglesias sparked a thought which I want to explore in the Bible.

This episode is all about the supreme court and the recent vacancy left by the death of Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg. This topic and the childish behavior of both Republicans and Democrats because of it took up the whole hour.
