A podcast centering on conversational CHristian theology. Along the way, we may detour and visit myriad of topics from baseball to bass, pop culture to politics, movies to music, history to histrionics and just about everything in between from a conservative, yet somewhat unorthodox and dispensational Christian point of view. Your humble host is a former Religious Education teacher who chucked it all to become a lonely workman trying to rightly divide, compare things that differ, so as not to be ashamed. (2 Tim 2:15) There is only one theology that matters in the end, YOUR OWN.

We look at Catholic Popes and Councils and their utterly clear statements on the necessity of Catholic baptism, weekly mass attendance, and good standing in the bosom of the Catholic Church at the time of death. No ifs, ands or buts. No nuancing. Utterly clear! We then look at other Popes and the current catechism which completely contradict them.
And the super serious Catholics who reject all popes since Pius XII have the additional problem of arguing that the College of Cardinals infallibly appointed by Pius XI and Pius XII somehow were not infallible when they chose John XXIII. Quite the poser! But at least they see the contradictions mentioned above. So, in a weird way, the super duper Catholics agree with me!
A recent survey revealed that 77% of professing Catholics do not attend weekly mass (almost certainly fewer attend all the Holy Days of Obligation). Well, since we're pretty sure they don't all have great excuses every single week, according to codified RC doctrine, they're on their way to eternal fiery torment upon death. We look at those related RCC doctrines. We ask again, if you don't fear their warnings of eternal fiery torment, why do you believe their promises of heaven?
Hey, I don't hates 'em, I just quotes 'em!

3 NOV 2024 · What we chat about today are doctrines held bay various people and groups that take the name "Christian." Any individual is free to take any name he wants and claim any beliefs he wants. But when he does so, we ask that he remain consistent. We briefly discuss beliefs such as "Holy Days of Obligation," Purgatory," "Salvation" on the one had and the "claiming" of verses from anywhere in any context in another.
Social media has again provided us with a couple or example of the latter.
Along the way, we note the sad passing of HotAir.com contributor Jazz Shaw and ask Ed Morrissey if he did his duty.

31 OCT 2024 · We talk a little more about death and then look at David’s Song of Deliverance in 2 Samuel 22. What can we learn about prayer from comparing our experiences to David's? Right away we should understand that we do not have David's calling nor his promises, yet we are justified by grace as he was. When we look at the life of David we can see areas that do directly teach us, but we most definitely see things that have nothing to do with the current calling and cannot be equated with our promises in the current dispensation. We most assuredly are called on to pray in our day, but what should be expect from the Lord and how do our expectations differ from other families of God? What is the nature of answered prayer in the dispensation of the grace of God with a heavenly hope before us?

28 OCT 2024 · I recently experienced a medical scare and the real possibility of death. Thankfully all worked out and through a series of events I was able to undergo the treatment I needed. Could I claim Romans 8:28 ("all things work together for good" etc.) as some would suggest? As I recovered I saw a social media post claiming Romans 8:31 ("if God be for us, who can be against us?") on behalf of Donald Trump and his followers. Well, that didn't seem to work in 2020 (or in almost any national election around the globe now and for centuries. So we look at these and surrounded verses in context again and remind ourselves of the ultimate hope and victory: resurrection.

15 OCT 2024 · We explore another verse regularly ripped from its context and continue to apply a right division of the Word (2 Tim 2:15). There are likely countless people who become discouraged and many more who may even mock the faith when believers rip promises for Israel from their contexts and try to wiggle themselves into them in the current age. #theology #gospel #christiandoctrine

12 OCT 2024 · As believers all over the West and on Social Media quote verse after verse claiming God's protection and even His vengeance against their enemies, we look around us (and at the history of believers for two centuries) and what we see is suffering, persecution, and death. What are we to do with these realities. As usual, a right division of scripture and an understanding of God in this age (separating the different hopes in the Bible) helps us see the truth. #theology #christianity #israel #heaven

11 OCT 2024 · You must be born again? Passed from death unto life? In Christ are all made alive? For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish? Wonderful truths, but have we must the true focus and hope because of tradition and mythology? We exalt the finished work of Christ and we exalt the victory that was the lack of decay in the tomb and the glorious resurrection. #theology #christianity #salvation

3 OCT 2024 · We look at a popular verse in Jeremiah chapter 17 and do what we always do: look at the context! All of scripture is profitable. We can learn about the nature of God without having to apply every verse to ourselves directly!
Jeremiah 17:7 ("Blessed is the man who trusts in the Lord, and whose hope is the Lord") is quoted often, and for good reason. There is much to gleaned from this verse. But unless we rightly divide the chapter, we might actually miss the blessings God has in store for those of us called in this age to the current calling of God. #theology ology #prophecy #israel #christiandoctrine #christianity

1 OCT 2024 · A professed Christian school in Oregon thought that we're still in the Book of Acts and that every epistle is for us today. We cover one story from the school which tells the story of child (Ava Worthington) who died because of that bad interpretation (wrong division) of scripture. A simple administering of an antibiotic would have saved the child, but the school thought they would try to claim healing promises in Matthew 10 and James 5. Sadly, they did not realize those promises are not for us today. This school would continue in its belief and more children would die.

25 SEP 2024 · Matthew 7:1 ("judge not lest ye be judged") is probably the most quoted verse by believers and unbelievers alike in modern theological discourse. If we allow ourselves to think about it for over 4 milliseconds we'll realize there is no way the Lord is commanding his followers to never judge anything or anybody. To be sure, we must be very careful when we make judgments and we must always be aware of our own frailty and of our sin nature, but surely we must make judgments. We try to put a little meat on the bones by walking through the passage. And judgment is not limited to actions in scripture. We must judge doctrine, interpretations, and applications as well. And in judging these things, we must "rightly divide the Word of Truth." #theology #gospel
