Think & Reform

Luke begins today's episode by examining a debate between an internet atheist and a Bible college student, then opens a discussion on what the Bible has to say on child brides and rape.

Today, Luke begins by examining a 1999 study by the University of Chicago detailing the influence of women's suffrage on the scope of the civil government and how that informs the goals of nationalism, then introduces a new segment, "Ask a Theonomist," and fields the question of how a corporation owned by the Chinese Communist Party would function in a theonomic state, and ends with a social media interaction with some contrary nationalists, concluding with some observations by RJ Rushdoony. Thanks for listening!  

Luke continues his reaction of Right Response Ministries' promotion of what they call "Natural Law Theonomy" and points out their becoming a law unto themselves. One reason given by Webbon on why we can't follow God's law, amazingly, is "planes, trains, and automobiles." Perhaps God forgot about dominion when He wrote His perfect law? 

A long episode today as we react to a Right Response Ministries podcast wherein theonomy proper is criticized as "autistic" and man's reasoning is "logical" while immigration is used as a club to bash faithfulness to God's Law.  

Luke begins by comparing Trump's disregard of his Constitutional responsibility to Congress with an immigrant's responsibility to immigration law and then reacts to Dr. Joe Rigney's presentation of Protestant Political theory and addresses arguments from Rigney, Turretin, and Junius

In this episode, Luke responds to claims made by some who elevate the historic reformed confessions to the position of scripture and justify statist tyranny by wielding these same documents as gospel truth. Thanks for listening!   

Luke Saint responds to two men: one, Jay Antelo from Providence Perspective, wherein Jay critiques what he believes to be Non-Legislative Theonomy (aka Lancastrian Theonomy), and the second, Travis Schmalhofer, wherein Travis critiques an unfaithful version of Lancastrian Theonomy. Thanks for listening! 

Today Luke finishes his reaction to a "Conversations That Matter" podcast featuring Pastor James Baird and his new book, then moves on to Bob the Baptist's criticism of theonomy via the authority of the confessions and Calvin, and finishes with remembering a bygone interview of John Piper that's so wild that...well, just listen for yourself. 

Curtis Kenchel joins Luke today for a discussion on Nicaea: its impact, its history, its controversy, and its players. This is the first in the series of podcasts wherein Sunday School teachers from Independence Reformed Bible Church recap their lessons taught over an 8-week period! Thanks for listening and enjoy! 

Today Luke discusses the question of "what makes an American an American?" Afterwards, he reacts to an episode from Jon Harris' podcast "Conversations That Matter" wherein Jon interviews Author and Pastor James Baird on the role of the civil magistrate from a reformed tradition perspective.
