Show notes:

Ethics of a Border Wall

From the OT we can see that a wall is not inherently unethical
Because it is built by men it can be misused
The difference is in the payout
A wall that is capable of keeping everyone out can also keep everyone in

The Case Against Education

by Bryan Caplan
He shows that going to college and completing a degree has a strong economic payoff
Caplan argues that a degree is a signal that you can get things done
Caplan deals only with tax-funded education and not private education
It would be better if he said “A Case Against Government Funded Education”

Harmartiology

“Anoetos” means foolish
Gal. 3:1,3, 1 Tim. 6:9, Tit. 3:3, Luke 24:25

Show notes:

When is the Prophetic Payout?

There must be two categories for prophetic audiences
1 Sam. 3:11 - Description of a Biblical prophetic audience
The difference is in the payout
In the Biblical view, it comes at the fulfillment
The other type of Prophetic Payout comes when the prophecy is made
The false prophet is delivering an adrenaline rush at the time the prophecy is made

Plowing in Hope

by David Bruce Hegeman
A short introduction to what the cultural mandate entails
We want to learn to live integrated lives

Show notes:

The Problem of Consent

The state of California requires enthusiastic consent for any sexual encounters on college and high school campuses.
Consent has become the god of the system because it allows anything
Statutory rape is often obtaining consent from someone who is unable to give it
If a 10 year old boy can consent to being a drag queen why can’t a 16 year old consent?
We have to open our Bibles
Consent is an element of a Biblical worldview but not the God of it.

Whatever Happened to Truth

By David Wells
This book makes you want to go to war when you close it
Great book to answer the question“Why are the backbones of so many men failing?”

Harmartiology

The four views of Revelation: Historicist, Preterist, Futurist, and Spiritualist
Historicist - all of church history in a continuous way
Preterist - the history of the church, Israel, and Rome in the first century
The Futurist - a prediction of what will happen at the end of the world (in our future)
The Spiritualist - the view that says it has no literal earthly fulfillment
This book goes through Revelation and gives each view for the verses
Great book to become settled on your views of Revelation

Show notes

This week Douglas Wilson talks about the Pauline authorship of Hebrews. He then goes on to review “Job, The Victim of His People”, a book by René Girard. Wrapping it up with a look at the New Testament word “Anastauroo.” Happy plodding!

Show notes:

Pauline Authorship of Hebrews

The argument against: “The letter just doesn’t sound like him.”
There are ways the style could be different and make sense
2 Pet. 3:15-16 “As Paul wrote to you”

Job, The Victim of His People

Book by René Girard
Warning: Although a very insightful writer, Girard is not a Biblical infallibilist
Ruin for Job meant economic distress for everyone around
Job doesn’t do what a pagan King would do
This outlook on accusation is very refreshing

Harmartiology

“Anastauroo” means “to recrucify”
Heb. 6:6
