In our introduction today, we'll cover a fascinating subject about God's Sovereign Will. Is it predominant in the world? Does God predetermine everything? If so, what does that do with God's moral will? Doesn't God want people to be moral? How does Scripture help us to understand?

In our introduction today, we'll discuss the Great City of Revelation 11, where the witnesses are slain. What is this Great City that is spiritually called Sodom and Egypt? What does the rest of Revelation say? What does the immediate context specify? There is no other place "where their Lord was slain" but Jerusalem of the nation of Israel. This place is spiritually called Sodom and Egypt. What does that mean? How does this help us to understand Israel's future? Do we see a taste of their future in their present? An examination of Christian discrimination in Israel and the incredible prevalence of "Gay Pride" for all ages in Israel seems to fit the very state we see in Revelation 11. What is a Jew's hope? Some future salvation? Or the only name given under Heaven by which we must be saved? Hasn't the Savior come? Won't the Judge of all the earth come next? Standing even at the door? We'll discuss.

We'll cover an interesting portion of our reading, and cover the beliefs of the Vaudois, and answer the question: How knowledgeable of the Bible were the old Baptists? Did they have the Bible?

We will definitively cover the subject of 501c3 and the trouble that this classification has for God's Churches. What restrictions come with 501c3? Does this hurt or hinder the mission of the Church? And in recent developments even 501c3 churches and organizations may incur a 21% tax for Employee (including Pastor) benefits. What is the solution? What about Tax Exemption? What about the First Amendment? Is there a better way? What should churches do? We will give the answer according to multiple legal sources for Churches. After reading and analysis, we'll cover some short subjects, such as Ziska, and maybe not so good King Wenceslaus.

In light of last weeks discussion, we'll further our understanding by using what we've learned to understand Genesis 9:20-25. We'll discover what precisely Ham did, when he committed the sin which caused his son, Canaan to be cursed. Many interpretations have been given, but few settle all the issues. Given what we've learned and information discussed in this episode, we will be able to grasp the full issue as we interact with a Theological Article.

Recently, there has been an article making numerous rounds on the internet, which makes claims by a "Bible Scholar", Harvard Professor, Dr. Idan Dershowitz, that Leviticus 18 is heavily edited, and that the Bible originally permitted Homosexuality. Is that true? What does the Bible really teach? What is the evidence? We'll examine Leviticus 18 and the rest of Scripture to get at the right view.

After our Reading, we'll discuss the fact that Baptists can't have come out of the Reformation, because they never sought to reform the Catholic Church, since they were never a part of it.

A slight review of Michael J. Oard's book: Frozen in Time. An excellent book which covers some fascinating bits of information related to the Ice Age which came at the end of the Flood. Some information from the book and its evidentiary topic: Wooly Mammoth's. Next in our introduction, we'll discuss an old topic recently reintroduced to the News as this week the Episcopal Church is apparently reviewing their "Common Book of Prayer" to have more non-Gender specific references to God. We'll discuss this topic (covered previously in Episode 6) with some of the recent quotes found in the Washington Post article. We'll also cover some comments made in an Article by One News Now, entitled: "God is a good, good...mother? Really?"
