The 3rd Choice

Often lately we have heard the recently-coined term “food insecurity,” meaning that people didn’t have a consistent amount of access to enough food for them to be healthy. I am arguing today that America is rapidly sinking into “moral insecurity,” meaning that morality has become so disregarded and denigrated that people don’t have a consistent amount of conscience to care about foundational morality, so much so that our society is unhealthy.

Free speech is one of the most dangerous forces on Earth—for benefit or harm. It creates power and suppresses power. By it, governments rise and fall, ideologies succeed or fail, ideas gain traction or are extinguished, and by it people are sovereign or enslaved. It’s why some authorities seek to suppress it, and why many agents work to express it.

It is a timeless mistake to make God the way we want him to be rather than the way he tells us he is. Let’s get our information about God from God’s self-revelation, the Bible, instead from our own choices and values. Don’t put words in Jesus’s mouth.

We talk about the character and nature of prophecy and the nature of apocalyptic writing. In the process we talk about the biblical idea of hope, the Corona virus, and the book of Daniel.

2 Corinthians 6.14-18. "Come out from among them and be separate." What does it really mean, and how does it apply to life?

How do we know the Bible is reliable and trustworthy?

We are hearing lots of people tell us how the Bible’s End Times prophecies are lining up with current events. What we are lacking is someone telling us how biblical prophecies are to be understood. We have talked about the importance of theology to teach us how to understand what the Bible is telling us about certain subjects; we have talked about people’s need to understand eschatology—a study of the End Times. In this show Jim Walton of The 3rd Choice will talk to us about the Theology of Eschatology: How prophecy works, and therefore how we are to read the texts about the End Times.

It takes no special glasses to see what’s going on in the culture over the past two centuries and especially in the last 6 decades. We’ve seen this coming, and have been analyzing and talking about it for decades. Some suggestions as to where our direction lies for us as Christians.

Jim Walton from The 3rd Choice interviews David Gibson, who formerly worked in the Vatican and has an inside knowledge of the Vatican and the popes. The discussion covers a wide array of conspiracy theories about the Vatican and the pope.

We are at each other's throats: ideologies, politics, race, morals, rights, Corona, gender, science, and religion. But there's a power rising behind all of what's happening on the streets.
