Taking Back Religion - Part 3 Sep 25, 2019

Show notes

In this episode, Caleb continues his exploration through Church history in an attempt to connect how key moments from the past have laid the foundation for where we are today and how our history has added to our societies growing distaste for organized religion. In the 1700s, America was introduced to a period of time which is now referred to as "The First Great Awakening." While many Christians view this point in time as a positive thing, the mass conversion, and dedication to the Christian religion, Caleb offers a potentially different perspective.

Taking Back Religion - Part 2 Sep 18, 2019

Show notes

In this episode, Caleb continues the conversation of "taking back religion" by diving into his nerdy side and laying a historical foundation for us to fully understand the truth as to why some Christians and other people groups oppose organized religion, even if they themselves do not know. ///// MUSIC: The songs used in this episode are "Love Like A River" by Sofasound and "Oracle Night" by HM surf. Both of these songs are distributed and published by Chillhop Music. \\\\\ SOCIAL MEDIA: If you enjoy what we discuss in this podcast, we would truly appreciate if you followed us on Instagram or Twitter by searching @sljministries |||||||||
SHOW NOTES:

A major contributor to the pushback against organized religion is the "persecutor" attitude. We see this attitude play out when Christians make aggressive and definitive claims, pushing back when culture opposes their firm moral convictions.

Where this attitude comes from is something that has been slowly taking root in Christianity since 325 AD, when Constantine declared Christianity as the religion of Rome (the mega power controlling government of Europe and the Middle East.
Over time, as the Church grew further away from being a "persecuted people" they started to reach for more authority over the throne and the leading authority.
Little by little, we stepped away from being a persecuted people and stepped into being the "top dog," the persecutors.

In America, we have multiple layers which influence a subconscious desire to value the persecuted underdog.
Americans = revolutionary pilgrims who were persecuted by the British for over-taxation, one these reasons were protestants departure from the catholic church in search of freedom to worship.
Christians = A small group of Jews who were persecuted by Jews for believing Jesus of Nazareth was the Messiah of prophecy and persecuted by the Romans out of fear due to converting others through their selfless and humble servitude.
Jews = Originally called Hebrews who were the descendants of Abraham, who were enslaved by the Egyptians for 400 years and then liberated by the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob
