Think & Reform

68. The High Cost of General Equity

In today's episode, Luke begins a discussion on the role of tradition in politics and reason, followed by reviewing a stalker receiving justice even though those who dispensed it were afraid that they would be sued, and finally a reaction to part 2 of Reformation Red Pill's interview with Stephen Wolfe. 

67. Romans 13 Does Not Say Nor Teach "Obey Until They Ask You To Sin"

Luke first addresses "Ask a Theonomist" on AI-generated pornography and reads SB593 (an Oklahoma bill designed to outlaw porn written by Dusty Deevers), then moves on to the relaxed approach of God's law to "nuance," finishing with an email sent to Pastor Matt Kenitzer of Future of Christendom asking detailed questions regarding Romans 13 and taking issue with Future of Christendom's teaching of God's law and reform!    

66. The Pagan Roots of Wolfian Nationalism

Today we start things off with a discussion on how none of the reformers told us to be traditionalists, then Luke responds to Kristin Hawkins inability to deal with a consistently bankrupt worldview, followed by reacting to Reformation Red Pill's interview of Stephen Wolfe, concluding with a comparison of Christ-like archetypes in Hollywood!   

65. Emilio Ramos Fears God's Law (Because Handmaid's Tale)

We begin today's episode with Pastor Ron Kronz's evaluation of the effect of dispensationalism on the western mind, followed by Idaho State Senator Brandon Shippy's interview on the unstable relationship between a legislature and its people, and then we react to Emilio Ramos' heavy-handed and strange criticism of theonomic postmillennialism!  

64. What Happened to Doug Wilson?

Responding to several reels and shorts in this episode, including Brian Sauve's faux pas regarding the "chapter and verse" discussion, James Baird's remark on the "principles" of God's Law, the "general equity" of paintball guns, and Doug Wilson's sounding more like a politician than a pastor, plus commentary on the aesthetic preaching of Hollywood! Thanks for listening! 

63. Does Dominion Theology Have a Flaw in the Foundation?

We begin this podcast episode with a look at contrasting the successes and failures of socialism, then Luke reacts to James Jordan's take on Deut. 22:28, followed by a critique of an article from Scholar's Corner concerning what the author believes are errors in reconstructionist theology!

62. Ask a Theonomist: Just War Theory and Ongoing Woes of the Immigration Discussion

Trump's foray into Iran is on the chopping block today as Luke reacts to Apologia Radio's take on the matter, then Luke goes to Deuteronomy 20 to define "just war" theory, and finally concludes with a critique of an exchange he had with a blogger who recently backed out of a discussion on immigration, much to Luke's chagrin! 

61. Ask a Theonomist: Child Brides

Luke begins today's episode by examining a debate between an internet atheist and a Bible college student, then opens a discussion on what the Bible has to say on child brides and rape.

60. The Feminine Nature of Nationalism

Today, Luke begins by examining a 1999 study by the University of Chicago detailing the influence of women's suffrage on the scope of the civil government and how that informs the goals of nationalism, then introduces a new segment, "Ask a Theonomist," and fields the question of how a corporation owned by the Chinese Communist Party would function in a theonomic state, and ends with a social media interaction with some contrary nationalists, concluding with some observations by RJ Rushdoony. Thanks for listening!  

59. "Natural Law Theonomy" vs God's Law

Luke continues his reaction of Right Response Ministries' promotion of what they call "Natural Law Theonomy" and points out their becoming a law unto themselves. One reason given by Webbon on why we can't follow God's law, amazingly, is "planes, trains, and automobiles." Perhaps God forgot about dominion when He wrote His perfect law?
