God, Law & Liberty Podcast ·

2023/02/17

Today David reflects on recent conversations with Christian policy makers regarding transgender legislation and on the growing emphasis by Christians on restoring “civil liberty” in light of what Hosea, Isaiah, and Augustine have to say. What might they tell us about the way Christians now “do” politics and their motivations for engagement, and what might that mean in the years to come?Support the show: https://www.factennessee.org/donateSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

S3E78: The Government’s New Role: Promoter of Dignity

God, Law & Liberty Podcast ·

2023/02/10

In A Christian Manifesto, Francis Schaeffer connected Rousseau’s worldview to ours by the term “sociological law.” Today, David explains how that connection works and why it has become the basis for an increasing number of government officials (and others) to think that law is to “promote dignity.” Promoting dignity is at the heart of the battle over transgender legislation.Support the show: https://www.factennessee.org/donateSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

2023/02/02

Legislation in multiple states will take on the issue of gender affirming care. Christians will support it and not realize that the reasons given for it deny the existence of any real law. This means real parental rights can no longer be based on real law. That leaves cancel culture in driver’s seat to cancel the parental rights and civil liberties that Christian so greatly prize.

2023/01/27

Rousseau’s Christianity of a spiritualized kingdom of God birthed not just the kind of civil religion the state needs to keep order but cancel culture. The long connection between a gospel proclaiming a “spiritual” Kingdom of God and the rise of cancel culture is clear.Support the show: https://www.factennessee.org/donateSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

God, Law & Liberty Podcast ·

2023/01/20

The root of Christian Nationalism lies in Jean-Jacques Rousseau’s interpretation of Jesus’ mission in coming into a pagan world. It reads like what many evangelicals preach and believe. His reinterpretation of the Gospel paved the way for a purely secular state. It allowed religion to exist for the sake of the state, not God.Support the show: https://www.factennessee.org/donateSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

2023/01/13

Christian nationalism arises out of justification for civil government and civil liberty grounded in bad theology. David uses Scripture and Abraham Kuyper to explain how a current Christian publication on this subject rests more on Rousseau’s contract theory of just government than on what the Bible says about God.Support the show: https://www.factennessee.org/donateSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

David begins a new series looking at the intersection of Christianity and the love of one’s country (nation). In this introduction to the series, David posits that ‘Christian nationalism’ and cancel culture are two sides of the same coin—the non-Christian contract theory of civil government espoused by Jean Jacque Rousseau in “The Social Contract” (1762). Beginning today you will begin to learn how Rousseau replaced Christianity in both church and culture and the disastrous fruit is has produced in

David ends the year with a little help from Alister Begg, Choc Knox Unplugged, and Calvin Beisner of the Cornwall Alliance. With their aid, David explains how subjective theology neuters the gospel and brings about a “Christian politic” that smacks more of polytheism than Christianity.Support the show: https://www.factennessee.org/donateSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Christianity is no longer relevant to civil law and government. Many Christians want it to be or become relevant again. Today David uses Abraham Kuyper to explain why Christianity has made itself irrelevant. Without that understanding, we will have no clue why it will remain irrelevant despite all our Christian political action.Support the show: https://www.factennessee.org/donateSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In today’s episode David will explain why leading evangelicals, in the name of protecting religion, presumably Christianity, are instead destroying it.

The Apostle Paul says Christians are not to “have fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness,” but are to “expose them.” Yet, when it comes to legislation being filed around the country opposing “gender affirming care” for minors, many Christians are being tempted to join those whose worldview is darkness and, therefore, ultimately unfruitful. David exposes the “dark” worldview to which many are falling prey by using observations by J. Gresham Machen taken from Christianity and

If the Western Legal Tradition is to be re-built, then it is good to know what the “other side” sounds like, what arguments they make. Today, David takes audio clips of arguments made by a Republican state legislator who is a lawyer and professing Christian to expose humanistic legal thinking.
