Thinking to Believe

Update: I posted the incorrect audio file on October 30. I replaced it with the correct audio file at 3:30 PST on October 31.

I argue that the church is not subject to any part of the Mosaic Law – including its moral commandments (and even the Ten Commandments) – and that obedience to the Mosaic Law was never intended as a means to salvation.

I continue my presentation of the evidence that the Mosaic Covenant has been replaced by the New Covenant, focusing my attention largely on the book of Galatians.

The Mosaic Covenant is the most misunderstood of all Biblical covenants. I argue that the Mosaic Covenant was only for Israelites (not Gentiles) and ended at the death of Jesus. The church is not subject to the Mosaic Covenant.

I started a new series on Biblical covenants. This episode covers the Noahic, Abrahamic, and Davidic covenants.

I argue that Christians need to stop being fake and start being real in our preaching, worship, etc. 

Some think the Bible teaches that Christians should always be happy. I review the many people in the Bible who were quite distressed, and even despaired of life. 

Pagan ideas have crept into Christianity. When we try to manipulate God into doing what we want, or when we think our words have power, we are in the realm of pagan Christianity.

In this miscellany episode, I argue that it is good and right for Christians to desire God's judgment on evildoers, and that we often put too much faith in authorities. Then I consider the question as to whether someone can be both pro-choice and a Christian.

It's the final episode of my Answering God's Critics series. I address three objections:

1. We are both atheists. I just believe in one less god than you.

2. Belief in God is akin to belief in Santa Clause.

3. There are too many hypocrites in the church.

The final episode in my sub-series on the question of women pastors and teachers! I address two final objections (women cannot receive the gift of teaching & Joel prophesied that women would be preachers) before considering how to apply the Biblical teaching regarding women today. Can women go to seminary? Can women write books on theology? Can women be politicians? Etc.

Was Junia a male or female, and was this person just well-known to the apostles, or a noteworthy apostle? I argue that Junia is a female, but not an apostle (and if she was an apostle, she is only an apostle in the "missionary" sense of the word - and thus this does nothing to undermine Complementarianism).
