True Biblical Christianity mixed with how that plays out in our lives and in the culture we live in....this Podcast is a must listen for me. Thank you CCC!

This is really a great podcast! It’s fantastic to hear Christian views on all the major issues in our world today.

I appreciate that you all have the courage to try and tackle this topic, but I don’t know how much clarity was really provided by the discussion. It seems to me that critical race theory says this, “Many systems of government (particularly American systems of government) are designed with the specific intent to perpetuate racism. Everything is either racist or anti-racist.” This metaphysical (or maybe even material?) framework for seeing the world considers all things in light of race. If you’ll grant my metaphor, CRT is a system of viewing the world through black and white lenses. Sure, someone wearing these lenses may be able to point out many things that are black and white, but it would actually make it harder to tell what is truly black and white. This person would see even objects that are very colorful as black and white, causing a great deal of confusion. It would be harder for this person to have a conversation with someone who isn’t wearing the lenses, but rather seeing the world as it truly is - a complex mix of many neutrals and colors. Whereas, two people who aren’t wearing the lenses could likely have a much more productive conversation about the world around them, still pointing out situations that may be black and white. Please tell me if and how this metaphor is missing the mark.

I think one thing to consider is God has allowed things because He knows the hardness of men’s hearts. God may have allowed the death penalty because He knows our non forgiving, vengeful heart would seek out and kill in rage instead of forgiveness. There are plenty of scriptures where God allows humans to do something simply because He knows the wickedness of our hearts. That doesn’t mean He wants us to do it. Something to think about.

As I’m reading through the entire Bible this year (for the first time), at times I have found myself asking that very question. Thankfully, my plan aligned passages from the Old Testament and the New Testament, but I found this podcast to be very informative and helpful. Thanks!

This episode was very informative, well done! I myself love the Old Testament stories, the story of Jacob in the last 5 or 6 chapters of Genesis, the book of Esther as well as the book of Ruth and the book of Job. Thank you, Bob
