Walter Block - How Banks "Legally" Cheat You, Morality vs Legality 34:43

3M ago34:43

34:43

You can't have more titles to cars than the number of cars that exist. If you do, you don't have a car title, you have a lottery ticket, and you may or may not have access to a car if each person wants to make use of his own car title at the same time. Walter Block and I discuss the following lecture and take some rabbit trails on morality and lega…

Walter Block - What if Pro-life & Pro-choice Are Both Wrong? 31:15

1y ago31:15

31:15

Dr. Block coined a new position as early as the 70s called "evictionism" which states that in some instances, a mother may choose to evict a baby from the womb, and never to directly kill. If the child dies because it's premature, what realm of consequences would there be for her? voluntarytheocracy.org/40…

1:08:37

PARENTS USE DISCRETION When my dad used to teach 6th grade, he decided to teach about the reasons for taboos and curse words from a Biblical view. Students and their parents continued to remember this lesson for years after, and it's not something I hear addressed by anyone else. We talk about which words aren't as taboo as they should be, vice ver…

This movie probably holds the top spot in pop culture as a reference point for what God's law means regarding public stoning. While it's a good film to bring attention to oppressed women around the globe, here's why it's a poor example of Biblical stoning. voluntarytheocracy.orgΑπό τον Adam Terrell

Why There Are No Christian Movies with ND Wilson 1:00:48

1:00:48

If you're in the film/TV production space at all, or even if you just really like movies or novels, even just the news, I think you'll find this to be a fun conversation because of how much of an underpinning story is to theology and how we understand it. It is the primary way God communicates to us in Scripture after all. We get into presuppositio…

Questions discussed: How does Paul use the law? Is the 3-fold distinction of the law a cop-out? (Moral, civil, ceremonial) What's the law's role in evangelism?

This is a special interview for me. Dr. McDurmon has written several books that have greatly expanded my thinking on the scope of the great commission.

Some of the questions we discuss this month: What's our attitude towards the law? Do we assume a commandment is gone unless repeated? What if the American legal system obeyed the law of punishing false witnesses? How do we deal with the deep consequences of driving on "public roads" claimed by eminent domain? Is the government just in building a wa…
