Welcome to the Plodcast! Listen in to hear Pastor Doug address guilt and totalitolerance. Then he goes on to plug the book, Suicide of the West, based off of a review written by David Bahnsen & Brian Mattson. Finishing things off with a look at the Greek word “hamartia”. Happy Plodding!
Show Notes:
Guilt & Totalitolerance:
- Many of the liberties that are being offered to Americans are bribes
- They are bribes from an establishment that wants a docile and easily manipulated public
- The fact that Americans have indulged themselves in so many ways, means that they are carrying a fundamental burden of guilt
- A guilty people will be the most fiercely moralistic people
- There is a tight connection between guilt and totalitolerance
- Preachers need to realize this and start preaching free grace
Suicide of the West:
- This is a review of a book review
- The review was about Jonah Goldberg’s “The Suicide of the West”
- The review was by David Bahnsen & Brian Mattson
- They both give this book a rave review, dinging Goldberg for his atheism
- Gratitude requires an object, gratitude presupposes relationship
- If you don’t have metaphysical money in the bank the checks you wright are all going to bounce
Hamartia:
- Continued from episode 43, means sin
- Mentioned 6 times in the book of Mark
- Mark 1:4,1:5,2:5,7:5,9:5,10:5
