The Church Split

Will reviews the new DC movie Black Adam. Be sure to listen if you are interested in watching it (minimal spoilers). We also introduce our new TULIP rating system.

This episode deals with mature content regarding abuse and evil. A long time friend of Will's comes back on the show to talk in depth about his past abuse, homosexuality, Calvinism, the problem of evil, and its impact on his marriage, his ministry, and his life. This episode touches many topics that are church splitting issues that are often avoided. Many followers of The Church Split actively support this missionary.

In this live episode, Will discusses Tyler Vela's announcement that he was no longer a Christian. Tyler was the host of Freed Thinker Podcast.

Will and Brian went on Faith Unaltered's channel to discuss Will's recent atonement theory episode and another episode where they addressed Will's comments. The round table focuses on IF Church Fathers held to a form of Penal Substitution or were there just word choice similarities as. In the second half, the discussion jumps into the Levitical sacrificial system and if we are pushing the PSA version of Jesus' sacrifice into the OT. The episode was live and we cut it down a bit for time (mostly intro and ending)

Truth Over Tribe is a podcast seeking to challenge Christians and non-Christians on how you consider truth. Like The Church Split, they don't take themselves too seriously. They want Jesus to shape truth and not media, politics, and triblism. Patrick Miller is a pastor, co-host of the podcast, and co-author of their new book also named Truth Over Tribe. We discuss with Patrick triblism in his church, the American church, and how it is hurting the church, friendships, and families.

To round out spooky season, we have another review. This review of the Netflix TV Series, Dahmer. Dahmer is an interesting person from a Christian perspective as he exemplifies so much evil throughout his life, but also claims to have become a Christian in the last months of his life. Will breaks down the TV show, the real Jeffrey Dahmer, and poses the question if Christians should consider watching this show.

Continuing our movie review theme for the month of October, we have another "spooky" movie that Will has reviewed. The 1986 movie "The Fly" is a remake of an earlier version of the film. Will explores the themes of loosing loved ones, human value of relationships in a society with morality, and even some accidental pro-life themes.

We respond to an episode of The Gospel Truth and Marlon Wilson where Marlon made comments on an episode we aired in April 2022. The point of contention, from Marlon's perspective, was over what we believe is necessary for someone to be saved. We respond to Marlon's logic and comments as well as give our perspective on the requirements for salvation as well as reassert that we are in fact Trinitarians.

There have been several accusations falsely claiming we are not Trinitarians so we figured we might as well do an episode explicitly defending the Trinity while also revealing the bad arguments we have seen Trinitarians using to defend their views. We walk through the bad arguments and well-meaning proof texts we have heard. We then go through much better arguments from scripture for the Trinity while discussing what kind of push back you may receive from non-trinitarians.

Will reviews the new movie "Smile" and the Christian affecting themes throughout the movie.  This movie addresses some of the darker sides of trauma and how it affects those around you. Will reviews the movie from a Christian perspective.
