Is the Pope Really THAT Antichrist? 1:38:07

πριν 2 μέρες1:38:07

1:38:07

Both of the primary Reformed confessions explicitly call the pope that Antichrist. They saw the man of perdition from 2 Thessalonians 2 and that Antichrist from 1 John 2 fulfilled in the office of the pope. So what does it mean for the Pope to be that Antichrist or for the apostasy of the Roman Catholic Church to the falling away that Paul writes about to the Thessalonians and also to Timothy? One of the dangers of not considering these issues is that we begin to view eschatology as completely separate from doctrine. But Paul says that all scripture is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, and for instruction in righteousness. Whether we consider the Pope to be THAT Antichrist or just one Antichrist of many, we should realize that the scope and success of the Roman Catholic Church as a heretical and evil imitator of the true church for almost 1500 years is something that the church must grapple with. At a minimum it should warn us to not grow lax in standing against the heresies of the church even when they are embodied in likable people. At the most, it should help us focus on Christ and the work that He is doing in the world, it should reframe how we view the scope and significance of the Reformation and the work that Christ has for His church in fighting for right doctrines and right practices. So here's the question: If you hold to a Reformed tradition have you considered what it means for the Pope to be the Antichrist? And even if you do not, have to considered why the Reformers thought the way they did?Listen to the audio version here: https://theconqueringtruth.com/2025/03/is-the-pope-really-that-antichrist-ep-210-audio/…

When God Tears Churches to the Ground: Dealing With a Leprous House 1:16:10

πριν 9 μέρες1:16:10

1:16:10

Leprosy in the Bible was a picture of sin. And God uses it many times throughout the Old and New Testament to help us to think about different types of sin and the redeeming work of Christ.Recently we did a podcast on reading the Old Testament and how we should think abut the types and shadows whose substance has come in Christ. Leprosy, which was never intended to be primarily about health, was a type of parable regarding sin in individuals, in the works of men, and in houses and we are to be able to understand how those pictures as given in the law and in narratives apply to the current time. As a follow on to that topic, we want to discuss leprosy and we thought it would be useful to start with one of the more straightforward examples: leprosy in a house. We think the most direct application of this passage is to when sin is exposed in a household of faith, not just in an individual, but in the very church itself. In the text that we walk through, God spends significant time talking about how to prevent that revealed leprosy from spreading and then what to do when it is found to have spread, and when it keeps recurring. This Old Testament instruction parallels Paul's admonitions in the New Testament and it is instructive to us that he does not repeat the Old Testament but merely references it. This not only helps us to understand how to deal with this specific situation but instructs us in the proper use of Old Testament texts, how they relate to proper practices and how they relate to the holiness of the church. Please join us as we consider this important topic.Listen to the audio version here: https://theconqueringtruth.com/2025/03/whe…

The Holiness of the Offerings 1:22:33

πριν 10 μέρες1:22:33

1:22:33

God continues to give restrictions to the priests, because it is not about them. It is about the holy things of God and profaning His name. When things are dedicated to the Lord, they are not to be defiled by uncleanness because that profanes the name of the Lord. The priest that is caught doing that is to be cut off from His people, meaning that it is a death penalty offense. Whether it is long term or permanent, like a leper, or it is short term, like touching a dead body, those who are unclean are not allowed to act as priests. As priests in the New Covenant, we should understand the seriousness of profaning the name of God through our actions and the church has a real obligation to act when it sees the holy things being defiled. Often in church discipline, people make the goal restoration, but the first goal is always to declare that God is holy.…

Is Cremation a Sin? 1:07:47

πριν 15 μέρες1:07:47

1:07:47

In the 1960s, less than 4% of bodies were cremated. Now, it is about 2 out of 3 and by 2040, it is expected to be around 80%. Much of that is driven by the rising cost of funerals, since the burial plot is expensive and you can send a significant amount of money on a nice casket. On average, a cremation probably costs half of the cost of a burial. Another thing that seems to drive it is that the church typically doesn't explain why burial matters and why cremation is wrong. While many people do not think deeply about it, cremation has always existed and from a Christian perspective has been viewed as a picture of the body going to hell while burial is the picture of the body waiting for the resurrection. In this episode, we look at what scripture has to say about cremation and burial. We look to the Old Testament which contains the laws that detail dealing with the dead and where most of the narrative surrounding death and burial is written. We also look to church history and see how as Christianity spread, so too did the idea of burying the dead rather than burning them. We talk about how death and our handling of it is a significant testimony to the world about our faith and when done properly is something that the world cannot fully understand. So here's the question: If we are going to be resurrected anyway, does it matter how the body is treated? Or does our handling of death and burial testify to our faith?Listen to the audio version here: https://theconqueringtruth.com/2025/03/is-cremation-a-sin-ep-208-audio/Timecodes00:00:00 Does it Matter00:05:30 The Symbolism00:06:53 What God's Law Says00:14:26 Bi…

Interpreting Types and Shadows: Old Testament Hermeneutics 1:18:51

πριν 22 μέρες1:18:51

1:18:51

How you read the Old Testament impacts how you read all of God's word. It frames the questions that shape our understanding of God and His purposes. What was the purpose of the garden? Why did God choose, separate, and protect the nation of Israel? What is the church? Who is Jesus Christ and the nature of his atonement? It frames all of these and a hundred other questions as well, none of which are trivial or unimportant. In this episode, we want to look at how broadly and deeply the Old Testament shadows run. And while we start with God's word in Hebrews that "the law, having a shadow of the good things to come, and not the very image of the things" which is talking about the ceremonial, priestly laws of Israel, by the end of the episode, we want to go broader still to where Paul looks at the crossing of the Red Sea as a baptism, and Christ declares the manna in the wilderness to be bread from heaven which points forward to Him as the bread of life. We also want to emphasize that Scripture teaches us that these pictures are for us. We should not say, it is only Christ and Paul who can understand them. Jesus promised that after He left, He would send the Holy Spirit, who Paul reminds us in Corinthians understands the deep things of God. God's word declares that "all these things happened to them as examples, and they were written for our admonition, upon whom the ends of the ages have come." When the church refuses to look deeply at the Old Testament, we misunderstand the New Testament as well, as God does not spend a great deal of time repeating himself. The shadows are important because by them we can better understand the substance, which is Christ. P…

They Shall be Holy to Their God 1:27:26

πριν 24 μέρες1:27:26

1:27:26

As we go back to Leviticus, we need to remember that the Levitical priesthood and High Priest were to teach us about Christian priesthood and the effectual High Priest of the order of Melchizedek, Jesus Christ. After Leviticus 19 talking about how individuals needed to be holy and Leviticus 20 talking about how the society had to enforce holiness, we now come to how the priests need to be holy. The first picture is about a separation from the world. They still have connections to the world, so they can defile themselves for a dead body such as their mother or father, but not even for a married sister, since she is now part of a different family. When we think about applying this, we should consider ex-communication and what that means. Obviously, a believing child doesn't have to leave home if their father is excommunicated so that they do not have fellowship with them. This gives parameters to a question that often comes up when people are excommunicated. God then continues and commands, as He did for all of Israel, not to have tattoos, cuttings or cutting the edges of their beards which are acts of worship to false gods. God connects it to offering the bread of God. When we think of the bread of God in the Old Testament, we should always be thinking about the word of God. Hypocrisy, by rebelling against the word while it is being taught is against the priesthood. A priest is not allowed to take a defiled woman as his wife, which is a picture of equal yoking. Also, the daughter of a priest is held to a higher standard, so if she acts as a harlot, then her body is to be burned. God then sets an even higher standard for the High Priest as a picture of Christ. He cannot def…

The Hypocrisy of Baptists 1:13:30

πριν 30 μέρες1:13:30

1:13:30

Credobaptists and Paedobaptists differing views of baptism have real-world implications over how they view their children and their relationship to the church. Presbyterians (paedobaptists) hold that baptized children are part of the church, with the church having authority over and membership responsibility toward the child. Baptists (credobaptists) hold that they only become part of the church through faith and membership, and see baptism as a result of their faith. Often though, credobaptists treat their non-professing, unbaptized children like they are part of the church and as if they have been regenerated, going so far as to create practices that are inconsistent with their theological views of salvation, faith, and baptism.In this episode, we want to look at some of these inconsistencies, compare them to scripture, and discuss how they cause harm and confusion. So here's the question: What practices do churches need to watch out for so the children at the church are not deceived about their state with Christ?Listen to the audio version here: https://theconqueringtruth.com/2025/02/the-hypocrisy-of-baptists-ep-206-audio/Timecodes00:00:00 Introduction00:02:49 Youth Ministry00:12:09 Parents' Duty00:22:55 Baby Dedications00:30:13 Baptism Limits00:35:49 Should Our Children Be Saved?00:45:22 Expectation to Get Baptized00:53:26 Church Discipline00:55:17 Deceptive Songs00:59:43 Children in Church LifeProduction of Reformation Baptist Church of Youngsville, NCPermanent Hosts - Dan Horn, Charles Churchill and Joshua HornTechnical Director - Timothy KaiserTheme Mus…

Our God is a Consuming Fire 1:07:49

πριν 4 weeks1:07:49

1:07:49

In this passage, the writer is connecting the heavenly Jerusalem with the promise in Haggai that once more God will shake not only earth, but also heaven. When God descended to Mt. Sinai with the giving of the law, the earth shook. Through entering into covenant, Israel became the people of God. The law that had been written only on fallen consciences, now was written on tablets of stone. But as Hebrews has said many times, the New Covenant is a greater covenant because not only earth is shaken, but heaven as well. We see that in the establishment of the heavenly Jerusalem and we will consider what that means, but the application God has for us is that we are to focus on not the things that will be removed. Instead, we are to focus on the things that will remain for God will consume the rest for He is a consuming fire.…

Should Wives Be Homemakers? 1:12:09

πριν 5 weeks1:12:09

1:12:09

A hundred years ago in America most wives considered themselves to be homemakers with very few working outside the home. Now about 57% percent of them do. What should we think about this shift in the fabric of the American home, and more importantly what does God's word have to say about it. Throughout history, there have been societies that have been very confused about men's roles and women's roles. Frequently, the men don't do much work. They just do the things that please them. Hunting, fishing, maybe going to war while women do most of the provision for the household. But when Scripture began to inform a society, the roles of the husband and wife have typically been changed. Men begin to recognize they have a duty to provide for their family, to lead, and to make their household productive. Wives see their role as submitting to their own husband. Over the last hundred years, we have been losing that Christian influence in America and we've made an enormous shift that the church has largely gone along with it. In this episode, we look at many of the passages in Scripture that frame God's design for the home. We discuss how the curses from the fall continue to shape men's and women's rebellion against God's design. We also talk about what it means to build a home, to be productive, and how our unwillingness to hold the structure and purpose of the household in high regard has caused our courtship rituals to become focused on shallow concepts such as pleasure and comfort rather than long-term purpose. While modern culture has many problems that need to be resolved and fixing marriage and the home will only solve some of them, the home and family…

The Desire of All Nations 1:01:45

πριν 5 weeks1:01:45

1:01:45

In considering the last passage in Hebrews 12, it is referencing Haggai and understanding the reference will provide more insight for that passage next week. In Chapter 1 of Haggai, God had rebuked Israel for not having rebuilt the temple since they came back to Jerusalem around sixteen years before. They had started, but the opposition used King Artaxerxes to stop it after they rebuilt the altar of burnt offering and the foundation of the temple. Nothing had happened since, but after Haggai rebukes them, they start to rebuild the temple. Less than a month later, God tells them to look at the temple and recognize how it is nothing compared to the previous temple, but that they should persevere for God is going to shake like He did when they came out of Egypt, but also heaven. He will shake the nations so they come to the Desire of All Nations and I will fill this temple with glory That temple will have greater glory than the first temple that Solomon made. As we consider all the shadows of Christ in this passage, it is important for the understanding of Hebrews 12:25-29 for us to understand what it meant that He shook heaven and earth when the Desire of the Nations come. Since Haggai 2 is about the heavenly temple described in Hebrews 12:22-24, we will consider that temple and the promises associated with it before we conclude Hebrews 12.…

Should All Christians Prophesy? 1:14:07

πριν 6 weeks1:14:07

1:14:07

Paul says in 1 Corinthians 14, that we are to pursue love and to be zealous for spiritual gifts especially that we may prophesy. We are not just to sit back and wait for God to bestow them on us. It is part of pursuing love and edifying one another. And if prophecy is about love and edification, then it cannot be primarily about telling the future. So what is prophecy?Prophecy is about declaring the truth regarding the nature of God. It means to speak forth, and while prophets did often declare future events, a key reason those events were foretold was to warn Israel and others to turn from their sins, thus declaring the justice and faithfulness of God. This is why Moses was a great prophet, not because of all his foretellings, but because by him the law of God was given. This is why Jesus Christ was the greatest prophet of all, because He is the very image of the invisible God. Everything He did and said declared his Father and the nature of God. And we must understand this because Paul says that prophecy is for edification. How can we edify one another without understanding? This is one of the key differences between the Pentecostal view of prophecy and a Biblical view of prophecy. Pentecostalism keeps a great sense of mysticism around prophecy. It is cloaked in spiritual artistry and emotionalism. But Biblical prophecy brings all things back to scripture. The Spirit of God, as we are told in John 16, "will guide you into all truth; for He will not speak on His own authority, but whatever He hears He will speak; and He will tell you things to come. He will glorify Me, for He will take of what is Mine and declare it to you. All things that the Father…
