- Hello, I am new to the Faith. My question: In light of 1 Cor 8:6; 1 Cor 11:3; and John 1:18 (ESV): 1) How are these not arianistic, could you explain the exegesis and philosophy there?

- Also, per Luke 16:18, is it always sinful for a man to marry a non-virgin woman?

- Do you read the “Day of the Lord” in the prophets as referring to the destruction of Jerusalem alone, the end of the world alone, or each of them depending on the context? Which is Joel referring to when Peter quotes him in Acts 2?
::–::
- How good is the translation in the Septuaginta Deutsch? I read English more fluently; is the extra effort (and cost) worth it?
::–::
- I have seen a lot of Eastern Orthodox who are sympathetic to and even supportive of White National Socialism. it appears to me that they are willing to prioritize the White race over their church’s religious beliefs. are any of them trustworthy or should they be treated as enemies? I have listened to the SC episode on EO.
::–::
- Regarding Scandinavian state churches, because so much of the apostasy is directly imposed by our wicked governments, what would you suggest? I’m really reluctant to just abandoning the state churches
Should also note that government imposed apostasy is also used against independent churches, forcing those to accept female “priests” and homosexual “marriage”::–::

::–::
- For non-Europeans who have been in America for generations, do you recommend they stay and marry within their own race or return back to the country of their ethnicity?
::–::
- What are your thoughts on financially supporting missionaries who are outside traditional Protestantism? (Hold mostly modern Baptist views)
- If the New Earth is just a recreation of the Eden situation, why is there no marriage in the new ressurection, as it clearly existed in Eden?
- What are your thoughts on the July 4 PF footage going viral?
- what issues do you have with WELS? We are not happy with LCMS.
- my church consistory is trying to implement female voting for the election of office bearers. In their opening argument they have denied that election is an exercise of authority and say that election is only advisory for consistory, not binding. is this legitimate? How could one argue against it?
- My question about missionaries was actually about domestic missionaries. I can confirm they are not just scammers, but the issue is that they hold dangerous anabaptist views.
- I’ve been thinking about submitting an application to Patriot Front since I heard you recommend it as a good organization and even more so since their march on the 4th, but as I was looking into the organization, I was a bit dejected by Rousseau’s lack of religion as well as the organizations stated secularism and openness to paganism. I get the sense most of the members are Christians, but what do you make of this less than ideal aspect of Patriot Front as a Christian Nationalist?
- Quick question if there’s still time. I have heard people use 1 Corinthians 7 as proof of mutual submission. Your thoughts on that?

00:00:00.540 → 00:00:02.880
It is the 10th of July, 2026.
00:00:03.060 → 00:00:04.160
I am Corey J.
00:00:04.160 → 00:00:06.500
Moller, and this is At Any Cost.
00:00:06.500 → 00:00:10.600
This is episode 35, a Q&A episode.
00:00:10.960 → 00:00:19.920
I don’t really have any housekeeping, so I’ll just get straight into the questions, except I will briefly mention, for any eagle-eyed viewers, you notice I have a red line across my face.
00:00:20.520 → 00:00:22.340
I was wearing a hat working in the garden.
00:00:22.340 → 00:00:26.560
So, just to head off any potential questions about that.
00:00:27.500 → 00:00:32.420
It’s very warm here during the day right now, and I am mostly bald, so hats are a must.
00:00:34.460 → 00:00:45.980
Let’s see, question one is from the forum, and then I’ll go to questions from the chat or wherever else, maybe get into some of the backlog.
00:00:47.620 → 00:00:49.620
The angel of the Lord in numbers.
00:00:49.620 → 00:00:56.100
Is the angel of the Lord who appears before Balaam to slay him with the sword on the way to Moab Jesus?
00:00:56.600 → 00:01:05.320
And so, this has come up a number of times, this topic, but the angel of the Lord sometimes in the Old Testament is Christ.
00:01:05.500 → 00:01:08.940
Sometimes it may not be Christ, it may just be an angel.
00:01:09.180 → 00:01:24.600
And basically, how you can tell the difference is if a human being interacts with the angel of the Lord in a worshipful way by worshiping the angel of the Lord or the angel if he is God, those are the two ways you can pretty much tell it’s Jesus.
00:01:25.080 → 00:01:34.300
And I already know the answer to this one because I know the passage well, but I’ll pull it up in numbers and read it just because it’s good to actually read the text.
00:01:34.480 → 00:01:36.280
So, let me pull up.
00:01:38.420 → 00:01:41.440
And that, of course, number is 22.
00:01:43.000 → 00:01:44.740
I think the nets will be fine for this.
00:01:51.342 → 00:01:54.842
So, let us start with, let’s see.
00:02:02.602 → 00:02:04.062
We’ll start with verse 22.
00:02:05.302 → 00:02:10.062
And God was angry with wrath because he went, and the angel of the Lord rose up to oppose him.
00:02:10.242 → 00:02:14.182
And he himself was sitting on his donkey, and his two servants were with him.
00:02:14.582 → 00:02:24.002
And when the donkey saw the angel of God standing opposed in the road, and the sword drawn, then the donkey turned away from the road and kept going into the plain.
00:02:24.382 → 00:02:27.562
And he struck the donkey with his rod to direct it in the road.
00:02:27.962 → 00:02:32.862
And the angel of God stood in the furrows of the vineyards, a fence here and a fence there.
00:02:33.182 → 00:02:41.862
And when the donkey saw the angel of God, it pressed itself against the wall and squeezed by the wall, and he added to whip it again.
00:02:42.302 → 00:02:49.382
And the angel of God proceeded and went on and stood still in a narrow place, in which it was not possible to turn right or left.
00:02:49.742 → 00:02:57.362
And when the donkey saw the angel of God, it settled down under Balaam, and Balaam was angered and kept beating the donkey with the rod.
00:02:57.782 → 00:03:04.782
And God opened the mouth of the donkey and said to Balaam, What have I done to you that you have struck me this third time?
00:03:05.082 → 00:03:11.942
And Balaam said to the donkey, Because you have mocked me, and if I had a dagger in my hand, I would already have stabbed you.
00:03:12.362 → 00:03:18.582
And the donkey said to Balaam, Am I not your donkey, on which you would ride from your youth to this very day?
00:03:20.362 → 00:03:21.682
What have I done to you?
00:03:22.342 → 00:03:23.942
And he said, No.
00:03:26.142 → 00:03:35.842
Now God uncovered the eyes of Balaam, and he saw the angel of God standing opposed in the road and a dagger drawn in his hand, and he bowed down and did obeisance to his face.
00:03:36.222 → 00:03:40.742
And the angel of God said to him, Why have you struck your donkey this time?
00:03:41.062 → 00:03:46.242
And behold, I came out to oppose you, because your way was not pretty before me.
00:03:47.182 → 00:03:49.342
And I’ll stop there because that gives us our answer.
00:03:49.342 → 00:03:56.362
And for those who are wondering, the word pretty there, I’ll pull it up in the lexem, so we can just look at that.
00:03:57.882 → 00:03:59.182
Let’s see.
00:04:00.642 → 00:04:13.382
Lexem translates it as appropriate, which the word there is indeed a styos, which can mean pretty or handsome in the Greek, but really in this case, it’s more in the sense of good or right or appropriate.
00:04:14.142 → 00:04:16.682
The nets just decides to translate it as pretty.
00:04:16.782 → 00:04:21.382
But the Angel of the Lord says that they are not worthy of being called before Him.
00:04:22.042 → 00:04:24.202
So, He’s speaking as God.
00:04:24.202 → 00:04:24.982
This is God.
00:04:24.982 → 00:04:27.922
This is Christ here in this particular case.
00:04:27.922 → 00:04:34.782
And that’s how you can go through these instances in the Old Testament and figure out if it is Christ or just an angel.
00:04:35.262 → 00:04:43.542
And the reason that you have Angel of the Lord is serving as the messenger here of God’s message.
00:04:43.542 → 00:04:46.782
He’s God Himself, but He’s also serving in the role as the messenger.
00:04:47.062 → 00:04:51.362
And of course, the underlying word there for angel is just messenger in the Greek.
00:04:51.362 → 00:05:00.302
So, they made a translation choice, and I would say it should be capitalized in the cases where it’s very obviously Christ.
00:05:00.302 → 00:05:01.142
Just didn’t do that.
00:05:01.142 → 00:05:03.462
The nets, like I said before, is kind of academic.
00:05:03.462 → 00:05:05.482
They do some things that are a little weird here and there.
00:05:07.302 → 00:05:10.202
But the brief answer to the question is yes, that’s Christ.
00:05:12.342 → 00:05:17.982
So much for the pacifist Christ that some modern Christians would prefer since he’s here with a sword in his hand.
00:05:23.660 → 00:05:27.180
Question two is on the resurrection.
00:05:28.400 → 00:05:35.760
And I did not have time to go through these before I started streaming today, so I’m reading them for the first time along with all of you.
00:05:37.580 → 00:05:41.300
Hello, Corey, I am 25 year old man from St.
00:05:41.300 → 00:05:42.000
Louis, Missouri.
00:05:42.000 → 00:05:44.620
I recently lost my dog and one of my guinea pigs.
00:05:44.620 → 00:05:51.360
My mother was told in church long ago, when she was a child, that animals don’t go to heaven, and that has affected her.
00:05:51.400 → 00:05:55.140
She is Christian, but I believe others have been told this and are wounded spiritually.
00:05:55.640 → 00:05:58.740
I want to know the church’s teaching on heaven and the final resurrection.
00:05:58.740 → 00:06:01.500
Will everything be restored to life?
00:06:01.980 → 00:06:04.080
And human beings are judged.
00:06:04.080 → 00:06:10.880
Does Christ’s triumph over death mean that death is destroyed utterly in the second coming, and its consequences are undone?
00:06:11.160 → 00:06:17.480
Does behold, I am making everything new, according to Revelation, apply to everything that has ever existed.
00:06:17.800 → 00:06:21.260
I have read Paul’s writings of the resurrection in 1544.
00:06:21.340 → 00:06:22.740
It is sown a natural body.
00:06:22.740 → 00:06:24.280
It is raised a spiritual body.
00:06:24.580 → 00:06:27.180
If there is a natural body, there is also a spiritual body.
00:06:27.400 → 00:06:30.900
And it would comfort me and millions of believers to know that we would see our animals again.
00:06:32.240 → 00:06:36.320
So scripture does not explicitly state one way or the other.
00:06:36.320 → 00:06:37.780
I’ll go ahead and start there.
00:06:40.260 → 00:06:47.000
But scripture does not explicitly state, and yet we can draw out what we should actually believe about them.
00:06:47.100 → 00:06:51.100
I do believe that animals will be there in the resurrection.
00:06:51.120 → 00:06:52.920
And I know there’s a little bit of a light on my face.
00:06:52.920 → 00:06:58.900
The sun came out from behind the clouds, and I haven’t installed my new blackout curtain yet.
00:07:03.560 → 00:07:07.620
That which is good cannot be destroyed because destroying it is evil.
00:07:07.640 → 00:07:10.140
And so, God does not destroy that which is good.
00:07:10.140 → 00:07:26.060
Incidentally, this is the reason that hell is eternal, because annihilation can’t be true because to destroy the human essence in terms of what he actually is would be evil because that would be destroying something that is good.
00:07:26.060 → 00:07:28.220
So, God cannot destroy something that is good.
00:07:28.500 → 00:07:30.180
To speak in human terms, of course.
00:07:30.900 → 00:07:32.940
I think the same thing holds for animals.
00:07:32.940 → 00:07:34.820
God’s creation is good.
00:07:35.020 → 00:07:47.260
He will restore them to what they should have been, to what he intended that they won’t have the problems they have here in time, they won’t be mortal, all of the various things that plague us here and now.
00:07:47.260 → 00:07:50.100
I had a dog that died of cancer, one of my golden retrievers.
00:07:50.500 → 00:07:56.240
I believe that I’ll see him again, and he won’t get cancer again, and he won’t die again, because all things will be made new.
00:07:56.740 → 00:08:03.720
And we can also see this in how the Old Testament scripture speaks about the resurrection, the restoration of all things.
00:08:03.720 → 00:08:10.840
First, it’s the restoration of all things, which certainly includes animals, plants, everything else in God’s creation.
00:08:11.380 → 00:08:27.660
And you see in many places, in the Old Testament and elsewhere, creation itself is spoken of as groaning, desiring, or celebrating the restoration of all things, and God making all things new, making things good again.
00:08:28.480 → 00:08:38.400
There are times where you’ll see individuals in the Old Testament saying, this rock is going to testify against you because it has hurt everything you swore you would do for God and then you didn’t.
00:08:38.600 → 00:08:42.420
You can think of Joshua at the end of the Book of Joshua doing that.
00:08:43.240 → 00:08:47.960
So, all of creation will be renewed, and I think that does include our animals.
00:08:47.960 → 00:08:49.080
I firmly believe that.
00:08:49.080 → 00:08:55.340
Like I said, it’s not explicitly stated in scripture, but I believe that we can draw that out from what scripture actually does say.
00:08:55.840 → 00:09:05.480
And I think that ultimately, those who are Gnostic in their beliefs, they don’t really believe in paradise.
00:09:05.480 → 00:09:14.400
They believe that we’re going to spend eternity in heaven, some spiritual realm with God, and that’s not what we’re made to do, because we are not just a soul.
00:09:14.940 → 00:09:17.760
We are body and soul and also mind.
00:09:17.900 → 00:09:19.380
Not to get into that topic right now.
00:09:21.420 → 00:09:35.920
Our final destination, our eternity is spent in the new creation, and that will be a renewed version of this creation, because this creation still is a shadow of what God wanted it to be.
00:09:36.220 → 00:09:40.100
It’s not something totally alien, something totally different.
00:09:40.240 → 00:09:45.140
So, we will have a perfected creation in which we will spend eternity.
00:09:45.700 → 00:09:51.420
And certainly that includes animals and plants and everything, since God made those, they’re good, and He wants them to exist.
00:09:52.280 → 00:09:59.100
So yes, I do believe that we’ll get to see our dogs again, without all the problems that some of them have.
00:09:59.100 → 00:10:06.540
I’ve had a lot of problems, so other than the one that got cancer and the fact that they’re all mortal, they haven’t really had or caused any problems.
00:10:09.000 → 00:10:23.440
Other than Gizmo, of course, for anyone who follows me on various places and sees the Gizmo updates, he is the only other than I inherited one other non-golden I’ve ever acquired intentionally.
00:10:27.960 → 00:10:30.660
Question 3 is about miscegenation.
00:10:36.438 → 00:10:41.178
If someone is half African and half European, should they marry an African or a European?
00:10:41.198 → 00:10:46.598
Does this decision depend upon if the person, the mixed person in this case, is male or female?
00:10:47.238 → 00:10:55.178
My typical advice is that you follow the father’s line as a general overall rule.
00:10:55.838 → 00:11:01.358
However, in the case of half African, half European, you have to follow the father’s line.
00:11:01.358 → 00:11:06.078
And I see this is started making the rounds on X and some other places.
00:11:06.478 → 00:11:15.538
The genetic distance, and there are various different ways you can measure genetic distance, and this is very commonly used in animal studies, for instance, and human beings are animals, right?
00:11:15.718 → 00:11:17.658
Our physical body is mammalian.
00:11:17.878 → 00:11:19.098
You can use the same tools.
00:11:20.738 → 00:11:29.118
Genetic distance between Europeans and Africans is greater than that between like a wolf and a domestic dog.
00:11:29.858 → 00:11:30.818
It’s a big difference.
00:11:31.618 → 00:11:38.058
So it’s something that you’d even be tempted to call a difference in species under some circumstances.
00:11:38.398 → 00:11:45.238
I don’t prefer to use more of the classical definition of species, which essentially, I know that there are edge cases.
00:11:45.238 → 00:11:48.618
So before someone comments on it in the chat, I’m aware of the edge cases.
00:11:49.058 → 00:11:58.998
But the classical definition is if two individuals can reproduce and the offspring is itself fertile, then they are the same species.
00:12:00.238 → 00:12:04.798
Definition, recognize that these definitions are human inventions.
00:12:05.198 → 00:12:10.018
So kind of like verse numbers and chapter numbers in scripture, we’ve added these things.
00:12:10.838 → 00:12:16.018
God created the types, and within those types, then you have subtypes and things like that.
00:12:16.018 → 00:12:22.098
For our purposes, we’ve created terms and a hierarchy that for us to categorize and deal with things.
00:12:22.778 → 00:12:29.558
But in the case, to get back to the question, in the case of someone who is half African and half European, I would say go with the African line.
00:12:30.218 → 00:12:40.118
Because by and large, those differences are so significant, it is going to be difficult for that individual to fit into European society, into a European society.
00:12:40.598 → 00:12:43.678
And the person is always going to feel like a bit of an outcast.
00:12:43.678 → 00:12:46.118
It’s going to be true in the African context as well.
00:12:46.438 → 00:12:51.658
The difference being, in the African context, you’re going to be the top of the pile, right?
00:12:52.098 → 00:12:54.778
You are going to be in the upper echelons of society.
00:12:55.218 → 00:13:05.398
You’re going to be the one who gets to rule over the others, and be in easier position to deal with the consequences of your parents’ decisions.
00:13:05.738 → 00:13:09.418
Not saying the questioner in this case is necessarily the one, but ask in the hypothetical.
00:13:11.058 → 00:13:18.598
Probably going to be an easier case to deal with that when you are at the top of the pile because of it, than at the bottom.
00:13:19.018 → 00:13:29.098
So, for various reasons, some other ones as well, someone who is half African and half European should marry back into Ham’s line and continue on with that.
00:13:35.013 → 00:13:38.693
Question four, I guess, is kind of tangentially related.
00:13:38.733 → 00:13:41.113
My stand on living fossils.
00:13:41.113 → 00:13:48.953
Where do you stand on reports of dinosaurs living in Central Africa and Papua New Guinea, or any other so-called living fossils?
00:13:49.153 → 00:13:53.613
So this is sort of a specific use of the term living fossils.
00:13:53.613 → 00:14:05.653
The more common use of that specific term refers to animals that are very supposedly in the constructed timeline of Earth’s past, and yet still exist.
00:14:06.033 → 00:14:09.733
So that’s what someone usually calls a living fossil, like crocodiles, or living fossil.
00:14:09.733 → 00:14:11.473
You know, they haven’t changed in a very long time.
00:14:12.233 → 00:14:14.433
So part of that is Darwinian evolution.
00:14:14.433 → 00:14:15.973
Part of it’s wrong, part of it’s right.
00:14:16.053 → 00:14:17.333
I’ve gotten into that before.
00:14:19.133 → 00:14:24.693
This is like cryptids, or the equivalent of, I guess, natural cryptids, as it were.
00:14:25.233 → 00:14:30.533
Creatures that are sort of out of time, according to that timeline, but yet living.
00:14:31.133 → 00:14:36.493
I don’t think there really are many, if any, living in, say, the jungles and things like that.
00:14:36.493 → 00:14:39.473
Most of those would have died in the flood, just as a practical matter.
00:14:40.273 → 00:14:47.233
Thing that was out of the ordinary and survived that, humans would have hunted to extinction because it kept killing them in the night.
00:14:47.673 → 00:14:49.393
That’s why there are no lions in Europe now.
00:14:49.733 → 00:14:50.873
There were lions in Europe.
00:14:51.233 → 00:14:53.333
There aren’t because they kept killing people in their beds.
00:14:53.773 → 00:15:01.893
So, as far as this kind of, I guess, type of, maybe there’s some in the ocean.
00:15:02.393 → 00:15:06.373
We’ve explored vanishingly little of the ocean, and we have no idea what’s down there.
00:15:06.593 → 00:15:16.993
We just recently, relatively speaking, figured out that colossal squid are actually a thing, and that the sailors who were telling these tales of squid that destroyed ships weren’t lying.
00:15:17.493 → 00:15:19.713
In some cases, they were exaggerating a little, but not.
00:15:20.413 → 00:15:29.793
So, there could be all sorts of weird stuff hanging out in the ocean, the deep parts, because we haven’t mapped at all, and we certainly don’t have live video feeds in the entirety of the ocean.
00:15:30.393 → 00:15:33.833
But as far as land creatures go, I’m pretty sure most of those are just dead.
00:15:34.773 → 00:15:38.353
I don’t think there’s anything too particularly interesting hanging out in the forest.
00:15:41.093 → 00:15:51.893
And I’ve spoken before, anyone who does sort of tangentially related to your question, anyone who does a lot of camping, hiking, etc., you will eventually run into something weird in the forest.
00:15:52.853 → 00:15:56.093
And sometimes it’s an animal whose call you don’t recognize.
00:15:56.753 → 00:15:58.853
Sometimes it’s something else.
00:16:01.613 → 00:16:18.893
The best advice I can give you is, anytime you go on camping or hiking forums or anything like that and talk to people, you’ll notice that there’s a pretty significant number of individuals who have said, I felt weird and I turned around.
00:16:20.333 → 00:16:23.293
I still haven’t seen anyone say I felt weird and I kept going.
00:16:25.033 → 00:16:26.753
I think the takeaway from that’s pretty obvious.
00:16:26.753 → 00:16:32.953
So, you know, God gave you some amount of common sense, just make sure to exercise it.
00:16:34.893 → 00:16:39.513
There are big animals in the woods, even if there’s no cryptid or anything like that, bears exist.
00:16:40.273 → 00:16:45.473
Bears are dangerous, even the black bears that are less dangerous than certainly grizzlies.
00:16:45.473 → 00:16:50.133
I don’t prefer hiking in places that have grizzlies, even though they’re beautiful.
00:16:51.293 → 00:16:55.793
Although bear spray works, always carry bear spray.
00:16:56.433 → 00:16:57.733
Bear spray works better than a gun.
00:16:58.333 → 00:17:02.793
So tangential advice, but it works for this.
00:17:05.453 → 00:17:09.093
Get into some of the questions from the chat here.
00:17:10.293 → 00:17:18.753
Someone asked about some verses that the Aryans used historically to try to justify things, so I’ll go ahead and copy that.
00:17:24.073 → 00:17:26.133
It says, I am new to the faith.
00:17:26.133 → 00:17:34.233
My question, in light of 1 Corinthians 8, 6, 1 Corinthians 11, 3, and John 1, 18, how are these not Aryanistic?
00:17:34.533 → 00:17:37.073
Could you explain the exegesis and philosophy there?
00:17:37.433 → 00:17:42.473
So, I know which verse is the best one to even pull them up, but I’ll pull them up so we can all look at them.
00:17:43.493 → 00:17:55.553
There are times in Scripture and in the early Church where you see many of the references being to God the Father, and Jesus the Son, and sometimes they leave off the Holy Spirit.
00:17:55.553 → 00:17:57.533
They don’t always speak of the Trinity in full.
00:17:57.933 → 00:18:10.573
In some cases, they emphasize the position of God and Father, and so they’ll use God instead of saying Father, and they’ll speak of the Son, and they’ll speak of the Son as Lord instead of God.
00:18:11.073 → 00:18:17.153
They’re not saying that Jesus isn’t God, because there are plenty of places that explicitly say Jesus is God, right?
00:18:18.053 → 00:18:19.473
Not only that, but Jesus is I.
00:18:21.233 → 00:18:35.453
So, not all of these places are going to be sort of high level or rigorous doctrinal examinations, because some of this stuff is telling you about the faith.
00:18:35.473 → 00:18:38.933
Speaking about the faith, but it’s not a theology textbook in all cases.
00:18:40.593 → 00:18:45.513
You have to know scripture in context, which is always the rule here.
00:18:45.513 → 00:18:46.453
So, let me pull this up.
00:18:47.513 → 00:18:50.773
The first one is 1 Corinthians 8, 6.
00:18:55.913 → 00:19:01.773
So, 1 Corinthians 8, 6, and for some reason, has decided to shrink.
00:19:01.813 → 00:19:03.353
So, let me fix that.
00:19:05.033 → 00:19:07.133
Make it easier for all of you to read.
00:19:11.093 → 00:19:21.833
Yet for us, there is one God, the Father, from whom are all things, and for whom we exist, and one Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we are, through whom we exist.
00:19:22.353 → 00:19:28.233
So, it is still speaking of Christ here as God, because all things exist through him, right?
00:19:28.873 → 00:19:37.993
It’s not wrong to say that all things are from the Father, because the Son is begotten of the Father, and the Spirit proceeds from the Father and the Son.
00:19:38.493 → 00:19:41.013
So, it’s correct.
00:19:41.013 → 00:19:42.353
This is correct to say this.
00:19:42.373 → 00:19:44.533
What’s being emphasized here is something different, though.
00:19:44.533 → 00:19:47.793
This is an emphasis, and you can see this earlier on, right?
00:19:48.113 → 00:19:50.833
Because it’s speaking of idols and false gods and other things.
00:19:51.193 → 00:19:53.173
This is a condemnation of idolatry.
00:19:53.493 → 00:19:59.573
So, it’s recognizing the Father, God the Father, and actually, this time, it does say God the Father, specifically.
00:20:01.593 → 00:20:05.873
It wouldn’t have to specify if you didn’t have different persons, right?
00:20:05.873 → 00:20:06.833
It would just say God.
00:20:07.593 → 00:20:12.893
And it does that in a few places, but not all places, like here, where it says God and specifies God the Father.
00:20:13.633 → 00:20:18.853
And Lord is interchangeable with God in some places.
00:20:20.213 → 00:20:20.793
That’s what we call him.
00:20:20.793 → 00:20:21.933
We call him the Lord God.
00:20:22.313 → 00:20:23.093
That’s what he is.
00:20:23.093 → 00:20:24.053
That’s who he is.
00:20:24.373 → 00:20:27.173
And so, it is affirming the Godship of Christ here.
00:20:27.173 → 00:20:37.393
It’s also emphasizing that Lordship of Christ in terms of his intercession and his interaction with creation, and the fact that all things were made by and through Christ.
00:20:38.313 → 00:20:41.773
Let me pull up the Corinthians 11.3.
00:20:48.168 → 00:20:53.888
But I want you to understand that the head of every man is Christ, the head of a wife is her husband, and the head of Christ is God.
00:20:54.328 → 00:21:06.128
Again, this is, this is actually, this one’s more heavily theological because of God with respect to his, I mean, God the Son, of course, with respect to his humanity.
00:21:06.468 → 00:21:10.668
And with respect to his humanity, he is lower than God the Father.
00:21:11.108 → 00:21:16.928
And let me pull up one of the creeds here.
00:21:18.408 → 00:21:22.768
Obviously, the fourth paragraph is what I want here.
00:21:22.768 → 00:21:41.288
So, and just so you know, if you want to pull up one of the creeds, you can go to the bookofconchord.org, and then slash C1, 2, and 3 are the three creeds in the normal order they’re given in Athanasian.
00:21:41.948 → 00:21:51.268
So, the Athanasian creed and paragraph 4, equal to the father as touching his godhead, and inferior to the father as touching his manhood.
00:21:51.268 → 00:21:53.068
That is just standard.
00:21:53.148 → 00:21:58.708
Of course, I see that OBS is being weird and not showing the full page.
00:21:58.708 → 00:21:59.628
Let me try that again.
00:22:01.228 → 00:22:01.848
There we go.
00:22:02.348 → 00:22:06.948
Again, equal to the father as touching his godhead, and inferior to the father as touching his manhood.
00:22:06.948 → 00:22:11.928
This is the standard teaching of the Church, of Scripture, of Christianity all along.
00:22:13.188 → 00:22:18.148
With respect to his humanity, Christ is lesser than God the Father.
00:22:18.828 → 00:22:23.248
With respect, he is equal to God the Father, because they are of one essence.
00:22:25.368 → 00:22:27.068
Let me pull up the next one here.
00:22:27.068 → 00:22:28.468
We have John, what was it?
00:22:28.468 → 00:22:28.968
118.
00:22:35.647 → 00:22:38.167
Swap back over to Lagos.
00:22:43.810 → 00:22:48.130
I might set up some keys here to make this a little easier to swap back and forth.
00:22:51.510 → 00:22:56.490
No one has ever seen God, God the only Son, who is at the Father’s side, he has made him known.
00:22:56.490 → 00:23:01.190
So right here in the verse, it says, right?
00:23:01.550 → 00:23:02.350
It’s in the verse.
00:23:02.950 → 00:23:07.310
And again, this is God is spirit.
00:23:07.590 → 00:23:08.930
The Holy Spirit is also spirit.
00:23:08.930 → 00:23:13.450
The Holy Spirit occasionally appears in scripture in, for instance, the form of a dove, right?
00:23:13.750 → 00:23:15.410
But no one has seen God the Father.
00:23:15.910 → 00:23:16.750
No one…
00:23:16.750 → 00:23:18.870
that’s how God operates.
00:23:20.310 → 00:23:22.390
Because God the Son is incarnate.
00:23:22.390 → 00:23:28.130
God the Son has taken the humanity into himself, and so we can see God the Son.
00:23:28.130 → 00:23:30.250
We don’t see God the Father.
00:23:31.110 → 00:23:36.570
The Son can see the Father because the Son is also, as it says here, God, God the only Son.
00:23:36.990 → 00:23:37.890
So this is also…
00:23:37.890 → 00:23:43.530
this is actually one of the things that God teaches that the Son is indeed God, just explicitly states it.
00:23:43.910 → 00:23:47.330
So the Arians would not be particularly wise to use that one.
00:23:48.850 → 00:23:55.090
They tried to use a lot of arguments for that because the Trinity is something that is beyond human reason, right?
00:23:55.490 → 00:24:02.710
The Trinity is something that, as human beings, we cannot fully comprehend this life or probably also the next, right?
00:24:03.250 → 00:24:04.730
But we don’t have to understand everything.
00:24:04.730 → 00:24:15.390
In fact, we should be concerned if everything in our faith were completely understandable to human reason, because God is infinite and we are finite.
00:24:15.630 → 00:24:26.010
And so, if we as a finite could understand everything that is taught about the infinite, that should make us question whether or not we’re speaking of the actual infinite, because we are limited in ways that he is not.
00:24:26.370 → 00:24:31.130
But those verses are very easily explained within the standard bounds of Christian theology.
00:24:36.499 → 00:24:39.039
Let me pull another question here from the chat.
00:24:40.179 → 00:24:49.999
Advice for how, question six, advice for how a white man should navigate advocating for his nation politically while also having non-white nephews and nieces.
00:24:51.699 → 00:24:57.919
So this is going to depend in part, in terms of nuance, but not in terms of really the overall approach.
00:25:00.319 → 00:25:01.199
Really two things.
00:25:01.779 → 00:25:05.739
Are these nephews and nieces adopted aliens?
00:25:06.179 → 00:25:07.199
Because that matters.
00:25:07.459 → 00:25:09.299
Now, there’s a distinction there that I would draw.
00:25:09.299 → 00:25:12.699
There’s a distinction between adopting your own people and adopting aliens.
00:25:13.159 → 00:25:15.339
The former is good, the latter is bad.
00:25:15.779 → 00:25:21.599
So if they’re adopted, you have less of a concern to just be sent back to their homelands.
00:25:21.599 → 00:25:26.039
That’s the eventual goal, and it doesn’t matter that they’ve been adopted.
00:25:26.059 → 00:25:28.899
The legal piece of paper doesn’t change the reality of who and what they are.
00:25:30.279 → 00:25:39.559
If, however, one of your siblings miscegenated, and so they are genetically half related to you, that makes things more complicated.
00:25:40.099 → 00:25:48.359
It goes back to the earlier question, right, about, are we dealing with an individual who’s half Japanese, half Chinese, versus half African?
00:25:48.759 → 00:25:50.639
There will be different ways to deal with that.
00:25:51.359 → 00:25:54.519
I haven’t drawn up, you know, Nuremberg Laws 2.0.
00:25:54.559 → 00:25:56.439
No one has done that, as far as I’m aware.
00:25:57.099 → 00:25:59.099
I don’t really intend to do that in the near future.
00:26:00.859 → 00:26:10.799
There will be some sort of line drawing that will be necessary at some point in the future, and it will take into account that certain peoples are, in fact, more compatible with us than others, right?
00:26:11.179 → 00:26:23.219
Someone who is half Japanese and half white is going to have some trouble picking a side and integrating full of me, but much less so than someone who is half African.
00:26:23.819 → 00:26:42.339
So I’m not saying that someone who is half Japanese has no problems in life, because as anyone who is mixed knows, your parents created problems for you, and they’re very real problems, and the people who tell you you’re perfect the way you are and nothing is wrong, I know those people are lying because you’ve lived it.
00:26:42.839 → 00:26:51.919
And so I get people who DM me all the time about this stuff, but it’s going to depend on sort of what the admixture is there.
00:26:52.239 → 00:27:04.099
And the best thing that you can do is in some way they are family, but they’re less likely that your sibling had married another white person, right?
00:27:05.479 → 00:27:14.559
So if you have, say, white nieces and nephews, you should probably show them preference, because they are more your blood than those who are mixed.
00:27:15.159 → 00:27:17.499
But that doesn’t mean that you treat these individuals badly.
00:27:17.499 → 00:27:23.479
The goal isn’t to, you know, who’s different as much as some people would like.
00:27:24.039 → 00:27:25.019
It’s easier, right?
00:27:25.119 → 00:27:26.439
That’s an easier path.
00:27:27.119 → 00:27:28.399
But that’s not the goal.
00:27:28.399 → 00:27:41.339
The goal is we want our own lands, our own culture, our own people, who are protected from everyone else, and we don’t want the problems that come with having other peoples in our lands.
00:27:41.339 → 00:27:43.859
Not to say nothing of the fact that it’s a curse from God, right?
00:27:44.699 → 00:27:59.099
So, the ideal, and it’s actually a tragedy that there are so many problems, but the ideal would be every group of people, every race, every nation, living in its own territory, worshipping God as best they can, and not fighting with one another.
00:28:00.199 → 00:28:07.359
Reality, we live in this reality that’s fallen, there are many problems, and we have to deal with things as they exist.
00:28:07.359 → 00:28:10.679
It’s realpolitik, right, instead of wishful thinking.
00:28:12.539 → 00:28:19.299
But, to some degree, I can’t give you exact advice, because it’s a fact-specific analysis, right?
00:28:20.619 → 00:28:25.799
It’s a legal term of art, but in the law, there are really two kinds of questions.
00:28:26.099 → 00:28:31.119
There are purely legal questions where it’s, you know, is this a violation of the law?
00:28:31.639 → 00:28:37.879
And it’s one of those where you don’t need to know the facts of the case, you just need to know the thing and the law.
00:28:38.319 → 00:28:44.959
And there are things that are facts where the actual facts, specifically what happened to this instance, truly matters.
00:28:44.959 → 00:28:48.099
And that’s sort of the analysis that needs to be done here.
00:28:48.879 → 00:29:07.359
So, like I said, you don’t treat them poorly, but I think preferencing, if you have full-blooded relatives, I don’t think it’s wrong to preference them, because those are the circles of which we spoke in so many times, and those who are more genetically related are closer to you, and you have a greater duty.
00:29:08.739 → 00:29:11.159
Obviously, yes, this creates problems, right?
00:29:11.699 → 00:29:21.899
Because if you advocate for deporting everyone who is not actually racially American, you aren’t going to have nieces and nephews, potentially.
00:29:22.339 → 00:29:30.979
But you didn’t create this problem, your sibling created this problem, and, yes, it’s going to cause strife for you.
00:29:31.679 → 00:29:33.259
That is just the reality.
00:29:34.299 → 00:29:36.259
Sometimes that’s unavoidable in this life.
00:29:36.259 → 00:29:50.039
So it’s a matter of wisdom, and you have to bring the squabbling and the fighting home, or at least not to the same degree that you would engage of it in public or social media or wherever else.
00:29:50.819 → 00:29:53.959
But that, again, also partly depends on the reality, right?
00:29:54.719 → 00:30:09.579
If you’re dealing with a sibling who has miscegenated and is not going to be with this individual, the individual is African, that’s probably going to cause much greater problems in your home life and in the tranquility and all those things.
00:30:09.779 → 00:30:11.679
And everything that we know comes along with that.
00:30:11.919 → 00:30:13.899
And so in that case, you should behave differently.
00:30:13.899 → 00:30:19.559
Maybe you need to sort of push that person out of your life a little bit for the sake of the others entrusted to you.
00:30:20.699 → 00:30:26.659
So, it’s not an easy question to answer, and it’s certainly not an easy situation in which to live.
00:30:26.659 → 00:30:41.739
But you apply the wisdom that God has given you, you recognize those concentric circles of duty and the greater duty to those who are closer, and do the best you can with the situation to which you not of your own will.
00:30:48.395 → 00:30:52.755
A second question from the same individual, but sort of in a slightly different vein.
00:30:52.755 → 00:30:54.435
It’s on Luke 16, 18.
00:30:54.635 → 00:30:56.515
So I’ll pull up Logos again here.
00:31:04.831 → 00:31:10.551
Let’s see, a couple notes for myself here before I continue.
00:31:15.783 → 00:31:22.003
Okay, per Luke 16, 18, is it always sinful for a non-virgin woman?
00:31:23.263 → 00:31:31.103
So, Luke 16, 18, everyone who divorces his wife and marries another commits adultery, and he who marries a woman divorced from her husband commits adultery.
00:31:34.603 → 00:31:35.823
The answer is yes and no.
00:31:39.423 → 00:31:42.063
So, this pops up all over the place.
00:31:42.663 → 00:31:49.983
There are times where sin leaves everyone in a position where there’s no good solution, there’s no perfect solution.
00:31:50.843 → 00:32:01.783
So, this is going to depend on the sort of government under which you live, and then, again, a divorced woman.
00:32:02.003 → 00:32:03.603
Why is she divorced?
00:32:03.863 → 00:32:04.643
That matters.
00:32:05.323 → 00:32:07.283
Did her husband abandon her?
00:32:07.283 → 00:32:09.743
Did her husband have an affair?
00:32:11.563 → 00:32:14.763
There’s a difference between a man having an affair and a woman having an affair, right?
00:32:15.023 → 00:32:16.263
Gone over that many times.
00:32:16.663 → 00:32:20.443
Neither case is it good, but in one case, there’s actually no good solution.
00:32:20.443 → 00:32:23.963
In the other case, there really isn’t, other than reconciliation.
00:32:23.963 → 00:32:26.203
But if reconciliation doesn’t happen, there’s no solution.
00:32:27.563 → 00:32:31.463
So, if the woman is divorced for a reason that is morally permissible, right?
00:32:32.003 → 00:32:40.063
Again, adultery, abandonment, basically adultery and things that are tantamount to it, then marrying her, you’re not sinning by doing adultery.
00:32:40.703 → 00:32:44.903
She’s divorced, but she’s divorced for a reason that you’re permitted to divorce.
00:32:45.143 → 00:32:48.303
She’s not the guilty party, the husband’s the guilty party.
00:32:48.383 → 00:32:50.063
The former husband is the guilty party.
00:32:50.543 → 00:32:53.523
Now, let’s say that she is the adulteress, right?
00:32:53.523 → 00:32:57.703
That’s sort of the hard case, as it were, or the easy case, depending on how you look at it.
00:32:58.483 → 00:33:14.343
If she, and so her husband divorced her because she committed adultery, if you live under a society that actually enforces the moral law, adultery is a capital crime, and so the issue never arises.
00:33:15.343 → 00:33:20.263
If you live under a society that doesn’t punish adultery, that’s where this becomes a reality.
00:33:20.263 → 00:33:36.143
Now, you have a bunch of individuals wandering around who the state should have punished, and yet they’ve committed this grave sin, and now they are in a position where, what do they do, and what do other people do in response to them, right?
00:33:36.383 → 00:33:37.443
Should they never marry?
00:33:37.823 → 00:33:38.623
Probably.
00:33:39.163 → 00:33:42.443
But is that going to lead to greater problems if they don’t marry?
00:33:42.723 → 00:33:43.783
Also, probably.
00:33:44.063 → 00:33:53.963
So, we as a society have created this problem for ourselves by not addressing the underlying crime, by not punishing criminals.
00:33:54.903 → 00:33:56.083
That’s the harsh truth.
00:33:56.363 → 00:34:02.203
The harsh truth is you should punish adultery so harshly that it doesn’t matter whether or not you should marry an adulteress.
00:34:03.603 → 00:34:12.323
Under the present circumstances where that has not been done, do I think it’s always a sin to marry a woman who was divorced because of adultery?
00:34:12.743 → 00:34:14.283
I think that it’s not always so.
00:34:14.703 → 00:34:15.583
Is it ideal?
00:34:15.703 → 00:34:16.063
No.
00:34:16.923 → 00:34:19.423
But let’s say, for instance, she’s the adulteress, right?
00:34:20.803 → 00:34:23.403
She can’t be reconciled to him now because he’s remarried.
00:34:23.403 → 00:34:26.623
There’s also the polluted field thing and all of that.
00:34:27.283 → 00:34:30.843
So, what is the best solution if the state doesn’t punish her?
00:34:30.843 → 00:34:34.503
Well, it’s probably for her to get married and then not cheat again.
00:34:35.443 → 00:34:36.903
Is this wise on your part?
00:34:36.903 → 00:34:37.683
Probably not.
00:34:38.383 → 00:34:43.143
Because a woman who was divorced once will probably do it next time as well.
00:34:43.823 → 00:34:46.823
So, is it always sin?
00:34:46.963 → 00:34:48.283
I don’t think always.
00:34:48.283 → 00:34:50.683
Is it almost always unwise?
00:34:50.683 → 00:34:51.483
I think yes.
00:34:51.483 → 00:34:56.943
So, I don’t know if you’re considering this, but I would say definitely be careful.
00:34:56.963 → 00:35:00.323
Use the wisdom that God has give you to maybe reconvene.
00:35:01.103 → 00:35:07.483
But if she is divorced because her husband committed adultery, then it’s fine.
00:35:07.483 → 00:35:08.663
It’s not ideal, right?
00:35:08.663 → 00:35:10.903
This is a situation that should never arise.
00:35:11.303 → 00:35:15.063
He did something evil, but it’s not her fault.
00:35:15.843 → 00:35:18.743
The same thing as, you know, a woman who is a widow, right?
00:35:18.743 → 00:35:21.503
She’s not a virgin because she’s a widow.
00:35:22.203 → 00:35:23.063
That’s not her fault.
00:35:23.063 → 00:35:24.023
Her husband died.
00:35:24.143 → 00:35:26.723
So, we live in an imperfect world.
00:35:26.723 → 00:35:27.943
We live in a fallen world.
00:35:28.343 → 00:35:32.943
Sometimes things, always, things are not going to be perfect or ideal.
00:35:32.943 → 00:35:34.183
We do the best that we can.
00:35:34.983 → 00:35:37.843
So, like I said, you run the basic analysis, right?
00:35:37.843 → 00:35:41.963
Is she divorced because she divorced because he did something?
00:35:42.263 → 00:35:44.283
Is it something that permitted divorce?
00:35:44.483 → 00:35:47.123
And then, is what you are trying to do wise?
00:35:48.803 → 00:36:01.263
And again, we should have a Christian prince who obviates these questions, so we don’t have to talk about this stuff because he did his job, which might be difficult given that we have a leader in this country.
00:36:09.093 → 00:36:18.613
Question eight, do you read the day of the Lord in the prophets as referring to the destruction of Jerusalem alone, the end of the world alone, or each of them depending on the context?
00:36:18.893 → 00:36:22.073
Which is the answer to when Peter quotes him in Acts 2?
00:36:23.493 → 00:36:30.873
So, the answer to this is both, because generally speaking, God likes typology.
00:36:30.913 → 00:36:33.953
I’ve mentioned this many times, and I’ll mention it many more times.
00:36:34.413 → 00:36:36.253
God really likes typology.
00:36:36.253 → 00:36:38.093
It’s all over the place in scripture.
00:36:38.313 → 00:36:41.413
And really, it’s kind of all over the city as well, right?
00:36:42.553 → 00:36:44.913
In a very real sense, for instance, each person, right?
00:36:44.913 → 00:36:48.473
We’re an icon, we’re an image of God, that’s a type of God in creation.
00:36:48.893 → 00:37:05.353
But without getting too deeply into that, the Day of the Lord is prefigured by the destruction of Jerusalem, the wicked city, and then, obviously, then becomes the image of the wicked city that is ultimately destroyed on the Day of the Lord, and the harlot, and all of that.
00:37:06.093 → 00:37:11.313
It’s all symbolism, it’s imagery depicting the wicked world passing away, being destroyed in fire.
00:37:11.873 → 00:37:24.573
So, you have the minor fulfillment of the Day of the Lord, the typical fulfillment with regard to the destruction of Jerusalem, the burning of the temple.
00:37:25.233 → 00:37:26.613
It happened multiple times as well.
00:37:26.613 → 00:37:28.113
This has not happened once, right?
00:37:28.713 → 00:37:33.073
The Babylonians did it, Rome did it, Rome is sort of the one that really did it.
00:37:33.633 → 00:37:35.753
And then God will do it at the end of time.
Transcript
2/3
00:37:36.633 → 00:37:47.913
So, the ultimate fulfillment, the ultimate fulfillment, the one that is meant in the fullest sense when it is mentioned is, of course, Judgment Day, the actual return of Christ.
00:37:48.273 → 00:37:51.573
But they are both in view because it’s typology.
00:37:52.753 → 00:37:57.053
But if you want to read it certainly today, you should be reading it.
00:37:57.073 → 00:38:06.013
And yes, keep in mind that historic sac and the destruction of Jerusalem, but it’s really looking forward to the judgment, to the last day.
00:38:07.813 → 00:38:10.293
That’s why it’s the great and terrible day of the Lord, right?
00:38:11.833 → 00:38:18.853
I mean, sure, if you were a Jew, it’s a pretty terrible day of the Lord to be in Jerusalem when the Romans destroyed it.
00:38:22.533 → 00:38:26.473
It’s a little worse, the final day, and also worse to be Jewish.
00:38:26.613 → 00:38:34.873
So the next question, I’ll go ahead and translate it into English, since it’s in German here.
00:38:35.113 → 00:38:36.513
I’ll copy it first.
00:38:37.893 → 00:38:41.813
If I can get, there we go.
00:38:42.453 → 00:38:43.733
Firefox to cooperate.
00:38:47.753 → 00:38:53.393
Question nine, which for some reason copied with HTML markup.
00:38:59.010 → 00:39:04.950
How is the translation in the Septuagint Deutsch?
00:39:06.830 → 00:39:08.370
I read English fluently.
00:39:10.610 → 00:39:15.150
Is it worth the effort and cost to get the Septuagint Deutsch?
00:39:15.150 → 00:39:27.510
So the answer I’m going to say is, go ahead and get it, it’s great, is one of the better translations of the Septuagint that I have found so far.
00:39:27.510 → 00:39:31.810
I’m glad my mic is not fixed so that I can do this, grab this book over here.
00:39:32.210 → 00:39:33.590
This is the Septuagint Deutsch.
00:39:33.590 → 00:39:35.030
I do usually have it on my desk.
00:39:35.030 → 00:39:37.070
I just have it on my other desk over there right now.
00:39:37.710 → 00:39:39.110
It is a good translation.
00:39:39.110 → 00:39:42.190
I have read it so far where I’ve disagreed with anything.
00:39:42.190 → 00:39:43.970
I haven’t read through the whole thing yet.
00:39:44.030 → 00:39:46.810
I do most of my reading in English.
00:39:47.670 → 00:39:48.590
It is my first language.
00:39:48.590 → 00:39:49.650
It is the one I know the best.
00:39:50.470 → 00:39:59.570
But I do like to read the Psalms and some things in the Septuagint Deutsch, and it’s great that it exists.
00:40:00.230 → 00:40:09.630
At least one European language has a good translation available that is an actual functional modern language.
00:40:10.110 → 00:40:10.850
It’s German.
00:40:10.990 → 00:40:12.290
The English one doesn’t exist yet.
00:40:12.290 → 00:40:13.530
I hope that comes around soon.
00:40:13.530 → 00:40:18.130
But if you speak German, if you want to learn German, go ahead and grab this.
00:40:18.130 → 00:40:19.010
It’s great volume.
00:40:20.550 → 00:40:22.730
Something’s going to fall off my desk now that I moved that, though.
00:40:40.846 → 00:40:44.006
And let me make another note for myself here before I continue.
00:40:52.708 → 00:40:59.608
Hey, question 10, I have seen a lot of Eastern Orthodox who are sympathetic to and even supportive of white national socialists.
00:41:00.308 → 00:41:05.988
It appears to me that they are willing to prioritize the white race over their church’s religious beliefs.
00:41:06.228 → 00:41:09.368
Are any of them trustworthy, or should they be treated as enemies?
00:41:09.368 → 00:41:11.328
I’ve listened to the SC episode on EO.
00:41:11.328 → 00:41:16.028
So, there are good men in the EO churches.
00:41:16.028 → 00:41:27.468
I think that, I’ve stated this bluntly before, of course, I think that many of the men who convert to Eastern Orthodox in a Western context are psychologically damaged in some way.
00:41:28.088 → 00:41:30.588
And I think that they’re being honest with themselves, they know that.
00:41:31.148 → 00:41:37.548
Because you don’t go looking for something that is that fundamentally foreign and alien, unless there’s something lacking in you.
00:41:38.568 → 00:41:44.308
So, there are those who convert and then just become absolutely insufferable.
00:41:45.048 → 00:41:46.828
Those men are going to be a problem.
00:41:46.888 → 00:41:49.508
They already are a problem, but they’re going to continue to be a problem.
00:41:49.948 → 00:41:50.908
But are there good men?
00:41:50.908 → 00:41:51.528
Absolutely.
00:41:51.528 → 00:41:52.988
I can think of a few right now.
00:41:52.988 → 00:41:54.908
I’ve spoken with them, I’ve met them in person.
00:41:55.308 → 00:41:58.028
They are doing good work on various projects.
00:41:58.528 → 00:42:02.448
Some of you listening, you may be thinking of the same one I’m thinking of now.
00:42:03.308 → 00:42:05.048
There are good men in the EO churches.
00:42:05.688 → 00:42:09.868
Just the same as I believe there are good men in the Roman churches, right?
00:42:09.868 → 00:42:10.788
I am a Lutheran.
00:42:10.788 → 00:42:15.288
I strongly, I vehemently disagree with what the Roman Church teaches.
00:42:15.288 → 00:42:22.808
I think that what the Roman Church teaches, with regard to works, part of justification is abhorrent.
00:42:23.068 → 00:42:24.928
It is heresy of the highest order.
00:42:25.628 → 00:42:28.208
But I think there are good Christians in the Roman Catholic churches.
00:42:29.548 → 00:42:36.268
We’ve gone over this many times, and it is called felicitous inconsistency.
00:42:36.368 → 00:42:41.548
It’s called felicitous inconsistency is the technique that the Churches use for this.
00:42:41.548 → 00:42:49.108
And I will put this into the show notes, because it’s a good thing for people to go and read what it is that we mean by that.
00:42:49.948 → 00:42:56.928
And just to explain it briefly, we look at it as there are many churches out there that teach falsely.
00:42:57.228 → 00:43:00.828
They have this doctrine wrong.
00:43:00.828 → 00:43:03.628
They teach something about the faith that is wrong.
00:43:03.628 → 00:43:05.528
In some cases, very big, right?
00:43:05.528 → 00:43:07.668
In the Roman Catholic case, it’s justification they get wrong.
00:43:07.668 → 00:43:08.588
It’s the core of the faith.
00:43:08.588 → 00:43:10.828
It’s the article on which the church stands or falls.
00:43:11.388 → 00:43:15.668
That’s not to say other things aren’t important, but it’s literally the core of the faith, and they get it wrong.
00:43:16.928 → 00:43:36.948
But Felicitous says that despite the false teaching of those churches, ultimately, in their hearts, due to the fact that God has given them the free gift of faith, they rely on Christ and His completed work, and the false thing that their church teaches is not going to damn them is ultimately they rely on Christ.
00:43:37.288 → 00:43:40.808
That’s what we believe of many of them, all of them.
00:43:41.788 → 00:43:43.468
I hold the same thing about the EO.
00:43:44.148 → 00:43:50.988
The stuff that Palamas teaches is rank heresy, and I don’t know how anyone can read it and make any other conclusion.
00:43:50.988 → 00:43:52.268
I hated reading his stuff.
00:43:52.268 → 00:43:54.408
It was like reading something that was written in hell.
00:43:55.528 → 00:44:01.948
But I believe there are good men in those churches, and I believe they’re Christian, but I will see them again in paradise.
00:44:02.268 → 00:44:11.608
I would prefer that they convert to some other traditional form of Christianity instead of that, particularly because it’s such a LARP in the Western context.
00:44:11.608 → 00:44:12.728
It’s alien to us.
00:44:12.728 → 00:44:16.488
Yes, I know, we’ve had some of them up in Alaska for a while.
00:44:17.128 → 00:44:17.688
Fine.
00:44:18.488 → 00:44:21.348
It has never been in the United States.
00:44:21.608 → 00:44:24.528
It has always had at the most a very tiny presence.
00:44:24.528 → 00:44:25.828
It is alien to the West.
00:44:25.828 → 00:44:28.588
It’s called Eastern Orthodoxy.
00:44:29.168 → 00:44:30.188
Right there in the name.
00:44:30.908 → 00:44:33.328
So, are they all enemies?
00:44:33.548 → 00:44:33.908
No.
00:44:34.528 → 00:44:35.728
Are some of them enemies?
00:44:35.828 → 00:44:54.148
Yes, because they have decided to be so, because they have this entire identity, this adopted alien version of Christianity, and they just constantly attack their previous beliefs, their previous faith, and all of the good Christian men in those churches.
00:44:54.608 → 00:44:58.388
So, the answer is that it’s mixed.
00:44:58.828 → 00:45:04.028
But many of them are not, and I would be glad to have them on our side, and I hope that they stay that way.
00:45:05.248 → 00:45:15.628
Again, I would prefer they convert to something else, but as long as they are Christian, it’s better than the alternatives, even if I don’t think that certainly their church is ideal.
00:45:23.133 → 00:45:23.873
Let’s see.
00:45:29.693 → 00:45:32.053
A related question, a difficult one.
00:45:32.053 → 00:45:37.133
Question 11, and there’s sort of a little follow up here before I’ll copy and save that as well.
00:45:40.253 → 00:45:45.013
Navian state churches, and certainly this will apply to some of our other brothers and sisters over in Europe.
00:45:45.013 → 00:45:46.373
It’s not just the Scandinavians.
00:45:46.373 → 00:45:48.393
The Germans, for instance, have some of the same problems.
00:45:49.213 → 00:45:56.413
Regarding Scandinavian state churches, because so much of the apostasy is directly imposed by our wicked governments, what would you suggest?
00:45:56.793 → 00:45:59.453
I’m really reluctant to just abandon the state churches.
00:46:00.313 → 00:46:09.313
And some of the things that they impose, for instance, as noted here, forcing the churches to accept female priests and homosexual marriage, so called.
00:46:10.673 → 00:46:12.893
And they do that even against the independent churches.
00:46:13.493 → 00:46:17.533
In the German context, you have Selk, right?
00:46:17.533 → 00:46:19.073
Or Zelk, however you want to pronounce that.
00:46:20.193 → 00:46:20.693
Okay.
00:46:21.093 → 00:46:26.573
But it’s not perfect, it’s better than a lot of others, it’s made some compromises.
00:46:27.253 → 00:46:30.413
But that’s sort of the best option for those in the German context.
00:46:31.113 → 00:46:35.533
I’m sure there are equivalents, I know there are in some of the Scandinavian countries, but not all.
00:46:36.253 → 00:46:44.573
I think that in many cases, you’re going to have to do the same thing many times for those in the American context, start a home church.
00:46:45.773 → 00:46:58.353
And the goal would be, it’s maybe a little more difficult with state churches, but the goal here certainly is to have the home church grow enough that you can take over a building from a collapsing false church.
00:46:58.853 → 00:47:03.713
Because for example, makes a lot of their money for their budget by selling old buildings.
00:47:04.253 → 00:47:09.273
Huge opportunity for a faithful church to get a nice building at a decent price.
00:47:10.853 → 00:47:20.973
In the European context, and particularly with regard to state churches, that’s going to be more difficult, because you almost have to take over the state churches.
00:47:21.313 → 00:47:28.773
So I think that the home churches may be a longer term solution out of just sheer necessity in the European context.
00:47:29.193 → 00:47:31.373
I don’t think that you’re going to be able to avoid that.
00:47:31.773 → 00:47:41.433
So if you can find one of the relatively independent smaller churches that is faithful, that’s great.
00:47:41.433 → 00:47:45.933
It’s always better to have the camaraderie and the decent-sized church.
00:47:45.933 → 00:47:49.113
Don’t forsake the gathering together of the saints, so on and so forth.
00:47:49.713 → 00:47:59.553
But if the church is going to burden your conscience, if they are going to force you to accept things that are wicked, then the home church is the way to go, because it’s the best way to stay faithful.
00:48:10.300 → 00:48:11.700
Question 12.
00:48:12.040 → 00:48:14.620
Is this a heretical statement?
00:48:14.660 → 00:48:22.860
Race mixing is sin per se via the fourth and fifth commandments, and destruction because it is the destruction of one or more bloodlines.
00:48:22.860 → 00:48:30.520
And so I don’t know precisely which numbering you’re using, but I assume you’re going for honor thy father and thy mother, and thou shalt not commit murder.
00:48:31.880 → 00:48:33.280
I presume we’re using that numbering.
00:48:34.680 → 00:48:37.260
I mean, you could also bring up theft, realistically, if you wanted to.
00:48:37.940 → 00:48:41.520
I don’t think that you can call it a sin, gone over this before.
00:48:41.520 → 00:48:49.780
However, I think it comes with the enormous caveat, because usually when I’ve been answering that question, it’s been just abstracted out to a purely theological question.
00:48:50.440 → 00:48:56.560
Under present circumstances, I think that miscegenation is virtually always a sin.
00:48:57.040 → 00:49:13.240
And that is because it is virtually a sin, because at least one of the parties to that marriage, and we’ll be generous here and say it’s a marriage, is doing it out of hatred for his or her own bloodline, for his or her own race, and that’s sinful.
00:49:13.480 → 00:49:18.240
And so the desire to do the thing is sinful, the thing is sinful.
00:49:18.540 → 00:49:20.880
I think that’s virtually the case these days.
00:49:21.400 → 00:49:26.660
So like I’ve said before, give the sort of easiest example, right?
00:49:26.740 → 00:49:28.340
Abstract it out, historical.
00:49:28.800 → 00:49:53.360
If a European man had decided in whatever century you want to pick, not modern, but centuries ago, that he really wanted to convert the to Christianity, he really wanted to convert the Koreans to Christianity, and he went there and married a local woman, and then his line continued to marry back into that population, I think that would have been morally permissible.
00:49:54.320 → 00:50:04.920
Should you do it today, given everything that we know about genetics, and incompatibility, and organs, and mental illness, and psychological problems, and the list just goes on and on and on?
00:50:05.220 → 00:50:09.280
No, I think today is utterly unjustifiable and should not be done.
00:50:09.980 → 00:50:14.080
And that is particularly true when you’re talking about greater distances, right?
00:50:14.080 → 00:50:17.140
So for instance, the African and the European, so that’s the greatest distance.
00:50:17.820 → 00:50:19.560
I think that it is always sinful.
00:50:20.200 → 00:50:23.980
I don’t think you can find circumstances under which it is not going to be sinful.
00:50:24.300 → 00:50:35.920
It is more wicked in some cases than others, but I would not be willing to say that it is per se sinful, because I don’t think the thing in itself, absent the circumstances, is sinful.
00:50:35.920 → 00:50:38.860
And so, right, the difference here is per se versus per quote.
00:50:39.180 → 00:50:41.320
Per se, on the facts.
00:50:41.580 → 00:50:54.900
And so I think that it is per quote sinful, but in reality, as a practical matter, it’s basically always sinful today, because of the reality of the circumstances and the intent of the individuals who would be doing it.
00:51:05.652 → 00:51:09.972
Let’s see, question 13, and then I need to renumber some things here.
00:51:13.592 → 00:51:23.052
For non-Europeans who have been in America for generations, do you recommend they stay and marry within their own race and return back to the country of their ethnicity?
00:51:23.672 → 00:51:28.732
They should return home, because we should live among our own.
00:51:28.732 → 00:51:30.432
That is how God designed us to live.
00:51:30.432 → 00:51:36.752
It’s obvious from the fact that’s how things work if you just reproduce naturally.
00:51:36.752 → 00:51:38.212
You’re going to reproduce people who look like you.
00:51:38.212 → 00:51:39.512
You’re going to create a society.
00:51:40.992 → 00:51:52.492
And it is harmful to have aliens in your presence, because there’s just a thousand different things that are harmed by having people who are not your people in your lands.
00:51:52.792 → 00:51:57.032
And living in lands of a foreign people is also harmful to the individual.
00:51:57.432 → 00:52:01.352
Exile was a punishment in the pages of scripture.
00:52:01.952 → 00:52:11.272
When God punished, we’ll say, for instance, when he punished Judah with the Babylonian exile, having to live among foreigners was a curse.
00:52:11.692 → 00:52:14.512
Having to have foreigners live among you is a curse.
00:52:14.832 → 00:52:26.512
And so, those who are living in nations of foreigners, their home lands and live there, that’s how it should be, that’s the way, that’s the goal, that’s the way things should be.
00:52:27.172 → 00:52:29.252
Now, obviously, there’s some considerations, right?
00:52:29.252 → 00:52:31.272
You can’t just pick up and leave tomorrow.
00:52:31.272 → 00:52:33.132
There’s logistical concerns.
00:52:33.132 → 00:52:34.252
I recognize that.
00:52:34.932 → 00:52:51.272
But given the way that things are trending, I think it’s better to do it sooner, because the amount of time to plan it and do it in a way that is orderly and optimal may narrow as the political landscape and the political discourse changes.
00:52:51.812 → 00:52:54.772
But yes, people should return to their own homelands.
00:52:55.772 → 00:53:00.452
I don’t think it’s wrong to have, you know, tourism in some cases depends on the way you’re involved.
00:53:00.832 → 00:53:04.592
You don’t want tourists from certain areas, but some from other countries are certainly fine.
00:53:05.112 → 00:53:10.272
But yes, where people should actually live, should be in their own lands among their own people.
00:53:21.900 → 00:53:27.680
I do not know if I will get to all of the questions in the chat this week, because there are a lot of them.
00:53:27.680 → 00:53:39.360
I will try to copy them into my ongoing and lengthening notes, but answer a few more questions, I think.
00:53:40.240 → 00:53:47.620
And 14, what are your thoughts on financially supporting missionaries who are outside traditional Protestantism?
00:53:47.640 → 00:53:50.780
And apparently in this case, he’s actually asking about Baptists.
00:53:51.440 → 00:53:55.080
I know that makes Baptists mad sometimes, but Baptists are not traditional Protestants.
00:53:55.520 → 00:53:58.700
You are the edge of the radical Reformation.
00:54:01.380 → 00:54:12.420
I think for supporting missionaries generally, it’s going to depend on what it is they’re doing and why, and could this be done in a better way by someone else?
00:54:13.120 → 00:54:47.220
So historically, and the reason to bring up the same thing I mentioned in the previous question, really more question 12 than question 13, but the man historically, the European man, who went to some Asian country and worked as a missionary there and maybe intermarried among the people, etc., etc., part of the reason that he did that is you just logistically couldn’t bring, say, Japanese over and train them, or send them materials or set up a university for them.
00:54:47.660 → 00:54:49.180
That’s not a problem today.
00:54:50.280 → 00:54:59.480
We should be supporting, if we’re supporting these individuals working to convert people to Christianity, we should support their own people in doing that.
00:55:00.220 → 00:55:06.180
A Korean missionary should be trying to convert the Koreans to Christianity, because there are Korean missionaries.
00:55:06.720 → 00:55:08.120
There are Korean Christians.
00:55:08.580 → 00:55:12.180
A Japanese Christian should try to convert the Japanese to Christianity.
00:55:12.620 → 00:55:20.780
It should be their own people doing it these days, because we just don’t have to send our people to do it, and it’s not even that anymore.
00:55:20.780 → 00:55:22.120
It causes problems.
00:55:22.500 → 00:55:34.020
So, as far as supporting missionaries go, I wouldn’t even support most foreign missions at this point, because I think by and large, it’s a tourism industry, and it’s doing more harm than good.
00:55:34.340 → 00:55:42.920
It’s reinforcing false beliefs about racial differences, about the reality of how we should interact with foreign peoples.
00:55:43.500 → 00:55:45.480
It just causes a lot of problems.
00:55:45.500 → 00:55:47.740
I don’t think it’s something we should still be doing.
00:55:48.500 → 00:55:51.060
Incidentally, I also think the Great Commission was already fulfilled.
00:55:51.520 → 00:55:53.260
And that is a traditional Lutheran belief.
00:55:53.340 → 00:55:59.560
Lutherans who believed it was fulfilled in the time of the apostles, it was certainly fulfilled during, say, colonialism.
00:56:00.520 → 00:56:03.840
So I don’t think we even have that obligation anymore.
00:56:04.080 → 00:56:07.080
Should we still want other peoples to convert to Christianity?
00:56:07.080 → 00:56:09.560
Of course, because we want everyone to convert to Christianity.
00:56:10.340 → 00:56:12.420
But we can do that by training their own people.
00:56:12.980 → 00:56:19.220
The exception would be, there are obviously races, there are groups of people who can’t produce their own…
00:56:20.900 → 00:56:23.020
They need to be colonized, if anything.
00:56:23.400 → 00:56:28.080
Don’t send foreign missionaries, so in this case, our people over there.
00:56:28.540 → 00:56:29.780
That’s not going to work.
00:56:29.780 → 00:56:31.140
It’s going to cause problems.
00:56:32.120 → 00:56:32.920
Don’t do that.
00:56:33.220 → 00:56:33.960
So, I would not…
00:56:34.340 → 00:56:36.580
I just wouldn’t support foreign missions at this point, period.
00:56:37.840 → 00:56:45.900
Unless you’re talking about foreign missions, of foreigners who are evangelizing their own people, but that’s not really a foreign mission, right?
00:56:45.900 → 00:56:49.800
That’s a domestic mission in a foreign country.
00:56:50.340 → 00:56:54.920
So, that I would support, sending our people over to other countries?
00:56:55.780 → 00:56:56.040
No.
00:56:57.520 → 00:57:02.800
Unless, of course, you’re calling it, say, you’re saying, it’s a foreign country because it’s France.
00:57:03.100 → 00:57:05.120
I would be fine with that, support a French missionary.
00:57:05.120 → 00:57:09.180
But again, you could support French Christians and have them do it.
00:57:09.380 → 00:57:11.320
You don’t need to send Americans over to do that.
00:57:11.320 → 00:57:16.220
The French are perfectly capable of teaching Christianity, as are the Germans, the British, and the Scottish.
00:57:33.470 → 00:57:34.610
Question 15.
00:57:35.510 → 00:57:43.790
If the new earth is just a re-creation of the Eden situation, in the new resurrection, as it clearly existed in Eden.
00:57:43.790 → 00:57:58.190
So, I don’t know if I want to just direct you to my previous comments on this, but I guess I’ll go over it again, because it’s a question that comes up a lot, and it’s worth revisiting.
00:58:00.310 → 00:58:06.970
Christ speaks of marriage, right, in the new creation.
00:58:07.430 → 00:58:20.650
First off, remember that he’s speaking to the Sadducees, and also Christ enjoys sarcasm, and he enjoys people.
00:58:20.650 → 00:58:23.590
So, you know, people who think that mocking someone is always wrong, right?
00:58:23.590 → 00:58:24.770
Oh, you can’t mock someone.
00:58:26.630 → 00:58:27.830
So, Christ mocks people.
00:58:28.210 → 00:58:30.270
So, God mocks people.
00:58:30.270 → 00:58:32.670
If you think you can’t mock someone, you better get over yourself.
00:58:33.310 → 00:58:41.870
So, what he says specifically, right, is that they neither marry nor are given in marriage.
00:58:42.430 → 00:58:44.330
Does he say there is no marriage?
00:58:46.510 → 00:58:47.270
The answer is no.
00:58:47.270 → 00:58:48.730
He doesn’t say there’s no marriage.
00:58:49.110 → 00:58:52.050
He says that they neither marry nor are given in marriage.
00:58:52.930 → 00:58:54.570
So, there are two ways you can interpret this.
00:58:55.030 → 00:58:58.870
And I think that it’s completely ridiculous when…
00:58:58.870 → 00:58:59.270
I may as well…
00:59:00.230 → 00:59:01.790
I’ve got it on my screen, so I may as well pull it up.
00:59:02.150 → 00:59:11.930
I think it’s completely ridiculous when people take from this that marriage doesn’t exist, because the creation of male and female doesn’t make any sense if marriage no longer exists.
00:59:12.790 → 00:59:14.090
Why would you have male and female?
00:59:14.650 → 00:59:23.050
Now, granted, there were some very weird cultic groups in the early centuries that said, we’ll become men, and that’s why marriage doesn’t exist.
00:59:23.450 → 00:59:34.730
They were carrying that over from the ancient Greek philosophers who thought that women were basically just extremely damaged men, and that everyone in their version of paradise would be male.
00:59:35.870 → 00:59:42.390
It’s fringe groups in both cases, but at any rate, you have this question trying to trap him, right?
00:59:42.390 → 00:59:49.390
We have the brother who dies, and then his wife, Leverett marriage, you have the second, the third, blah, blah, blah, down to the seventh, they all die.
00:59:50.030 → 00:59:52.650
And then, whose wife will she be?
00:59:53.790 → 01:00:06.750
Christ mocks them with his answer, like I said, you are wrong because you know neither the scripture nor God, for in the resurrection, they neither marry nor are given in marriage, but are like angels in heaven.
01:00:07.150 → 01:00:11.870
As for the resurrection of the dead, have you not read what was said to you by God?
01:00:11.870 → 01:00:12.810
So on and so forth.
01:00:13.330 → 01:00:17.750
So I think marriage still exists, I think you just don’t marry and you aren’t given in…
01:00:17.750 → 01:00:21.930
And the distinction there is a man, woman is given in marriage, a man marries.
01:00:23.450 → 01:00:24.710
We should maintain that distinction.
01:00:24.910 → 01:00:26.090
It’s a good thing to maintain.
01:00:26.090 → 01:00:34.570
It gets people in the right mindset of understanding the distinction between men and women, the difference between the sexes, particularly with regard to marriage, where it’s sort of salient.
01:00:35.330 → 01:00:42.290
But I think marriage exists, but I think that it is the person who is perfect for you.
01:00:42.710 → 01:00:48.310
You are married, you don’t marry, you aren’t given in marriage, because that is the state for eternity.
01:00:48.670 → 01:01:10.410
I think that is how it’s going to be, because I think that lines up with marriage being a good thing, it lines up with the design of male and female, and God isn’t going to do something that was so important that when he spoke of Adam in the garden, Adam, who walked with God, spoke to him face to face, God said it’s not good for man to be alone.
01:01:11.230 → 01:01:14.110
That’s how important having a wife and how important God viewed marriage.
01:01:14.550 → 01:01:16.330
So, I don’t think it’s going to pass away.
01:01:16.330 → 01:01:23.550
I think he’s just mocking the Sadducees and hyping up in what he said, but you have to work for it a little bit.
01:01:24.110 → 01:01:34.850
So, I think the people who try to take this and say, oh, well, there’s no marriage in paradise, are completely insane and don’t understand anything about God or human nature.
01:01:35.670 → 01:01:37.030
I think they’re ultimately Gnostic.
01:01:37.070 → 01:01:46.210
I think they’re the kind of people who think that, like, sex is I cked out, and so they think that in the resurrection we’ll just be genderless or something.
01:01:46.690 → 01:01:47.790
It’s completely absurd.
01:01:47.790 → 01:01:51.250
It’s ultimately Gnostic, and I think it’s wicked to believe that way.
01:01:51.870 → 01:01:54.770
So, obviously, yes, it requires some exegesis.
01:01:54.770 → 01:02:05.950
It’s not bluntly or blatantly stated, but I think it’s pretty obvious to read scripture enough that you kind of understand what Christ is doing when he’s replying to different groups.
01:02:25.332 → 01:02:31.032
I am going to collect a couple of questions here for next time, because I don’t think I’m going to answer them this time.
01:02:31.032 → 01:02:33.772
Let me see if I can pull out something that’s a little shorter.
01:02:35.532 → 01:02:36.852
Answer a few more, maybe.
01:02:41.272 → 01:02:45.512
Just trying to add things to my list so that I don’t miss them for next time.
01:03:00.363 → 01:03:01.783
A question about Vlad the Impaler.
01:03:01.783 → 01:03:03.303
I think I’ll save that one for next time.
01:03:05.023 → 01:03:11.263
That’s always fun to discuss, but I don’t think that I know enough about the specific question to answer it right now.
01:03:17.126 → 01:03:22.086
Someone asked about, actually, I’ll just make this paste this into my show notes.
01:03:22.246 → 01:03:22.906
Question 16.
01:03:23.566 → 01:03:27.406
What are your thoughts on the July 4th Patriot Front footage going viral?
01:03:27.406 → 01:03:28.366
I think it’s a good thing.
01:03:29.266 → 01:03:32.566
I’ve said before, I think that they are doing good work.
01:03:32.966 → 01:03:34.306
I think that they are a good group.
01:03:36.246 → 01:03:38.666
I think that they have a good approach.
01:03:38.666 → 01:03:47.206
I think that folk, the Americana, as it were, is an essential part of any successful movement in the American context.
01:03:47.446 → 01:03:56.586
I recently published an article about, July 4th, of course, about symbols and the importance of symbols and things like that.
01:03:56.926 → 01:04:05.886
And so I’ll add that to the show and go read that since it touches on this particular topic, right?
01:04:06.206 → 01:04:10.446
There are symbols that matter that we need to have, and one of those is indeed the American flag.
01:04:10.446 → 01:04:20.506
And I think it’s very important to, I don’t know why OBS refuses to load quickly.
01:04:20.506 → 01:04:21.666
It always cuts it off.
01:04:21.666 → 01:04:25.386
Let me try and get the full view here for people.
01:04:28.066 → 01:04:28.706
There we go.
01:04:29.106 → 01:04:35.366
I don’t know why it has that problem, resolution, but I think that it has to be part of the American nationalist movement.
01:04:35.366 → 01:04:39.486
It, I don’t think we can abandon the flag just because people have done evil.
01:04:41.206 → 01:04:47.306
You can’t abandon the symbols of your forefathers just because bad things have been done with them, or evil men have flown them.
01:04:47.706 → 01:04:48.946
That’s completely ludicrous, right?
01:04:48.946 → 01:04:59.706
And the example that I give in the article, and I think one that should certainly resonate with this audience, there are plenty of evil churches that still use the crucifix, the cross.
01:05:00.726 → 01:05:07.026
I don’t like the Christian flag that much, but the symbols of Christianity are still used by wicked men.
01:05:07.286 → 01:05:10.126
It doesn’t mean that we abandon them because wicked men are using them.
01:05:10.126 → 01:05:14.586
It means we reclaim them and we stop the wicked men from using them.
01:05:15.306 → 01:05:16.666
So, I think that they’re doing good things.
01:05:20.486 → 01:05:23.026
Someone asked me, apparently, there’s a pop quiz.
01:05:23.026 → 01:05:29.186
I don’t know if it’s a pop quiz for me or for someone else, but it’s asking, which state’s system is not based on common law?
01:05:29.186 → 01:05:33.486
And, of course, it’s Louisiana because they inherited their legal system from the French, so…
01:05:35.706 → 01:05:38.346
But, I don’t know if that was for the chat or for me.
01:05:38.586 → 01:05:39.546
I won’t make that one of the-
01:05:58.741 → 01:06:01.061
I’ve answered this one briefly.
01:06:01.381 → 01:06:05.621
What issues do you have with Wells and someone who’s not happy with the LCMS?
01:06:07.221 → 01:06:08.381
They’re both a mess right now.
01:06:08.601 → 01:06:17.081
For those who don’t know, the two really conservative synods of Lutherans in the American context are the LCMS and Wells, WLS.
01:06:18.361 → 01:06:20.941
So, the issue with Wells is a political issue.
01:06:21.381 → 01:06:29.061
They get the doctrine, the theology of the Office of the Ministry wrong, and they do that in part for historical reasons.
01:06:29.061 → 01:06:30.781
It’s one of those things where groups split.
01:06:30.781 → 01:06:42.261
Sometimes they say it’s for this reason, and then they double down into error because they want to have some sort of split, even though their split wasn’t a good one.
01:06:43.001 → 01:06:44.701
Wells did that with the Office of the Ministry.
01:06:45.581 → 01:06:53.381
I think the EO did that with the Filioque, because the fact that the Spirit proceeds from the Sun is obviously true from Scripture.
01:06:53.721 → 01:07:01.501
They didn’t like the way that that was added to the creed, because the Western Church just didn’t like them and involving them.
01:07:01.961 → 01:07:07.621
So was there a sort of structural issue with how it was done?
01:07:07.761 → 01:07:14.281
Sure, we didn’t do it the right way through the right channels, but the doctrine is still right, and that’s what ultimately matters there.
01:07:14.921 → 01:07:24.061
But for Wells, the issue is going to be that if Wells goes up fully in Wells, they will do it faster and more thoroughly than the LCMS.
01:07:24.381 → 01:07:27.621
So maybe you find a good congregation.
01:07:28.221 → 01:07:29.601
It’s kind of like the LCMS, right?
01:07:29.601 → 01:07:31.941
There are good congregations, there are bad congregations.
01:07:31.941 → 01:07:35.221
If you have a good one near you, great, go ahead and attend.
01:07:35.421 → 01:07:40.781
The fact that they’re wrong in the office of the ministry, the theology of that, really doesn’t help at all.
01:07:40.961 → 01:07:42.301
They probably won’t even teach on it.
01:07:43.001 → 01:07:47.561
It’s really a question for, you know, pastors and theologians and the seminary.
01:07:47.561 → 01:07:52.121
So I think it’s fine attending at a Wells Church if you happen to have a good one near you.
01:07:53.921 → 01:07:55.341
Take a sip of my drink, actually.
01:08:03.163 → 01:08:05.223
Since it’s sitting over there, it’s not just window dressing.
01:08:11.797 → 01:08:16.797
I’m going to leave the question about Communism until next time because that is going to be involved.
01:08:17.277 → 01:08:23.017
I know that I am collecting a list of questions, but eventually I will make time to answer them.
01:08:46.735 → 01:08:47.615
Okay, I’ll answer it.
01:08:48.815 → 01:08:50.375
The chat scrolled, okay, there we go.
01:08:51.115 → 01:08:55.855
I was copying a two-part question, and the chat scrolled on me, and I couldn’t find the second part for a second.
01:08:55.895 → 01:08:56.695
Question 18.
01:08:57.675 → 01:09:02.595
My church consistory is trying to email voting for the election of office bearers.
01:09:04.175 → 01:09:15.435
In their opening argument, they have denied that election is an exercise of authority and say that election is only advisory for consistory, not binding.
01:09:15.895 → 01:09:17.255
Is this legit?
01:09:18.455 → 01:09:19.195
It’s absurd.
01:09:19.195 → 01:09:22.935
So how could one argue against it?
01:09:22.935 → 01:09:28.915
So your fundamental problem here, right, is that they get headship wrong.
01:09:29.055 → 01:09:33.915
And if they get headship wrong, they are not going to agree with you on really anything.
01:09:34.395 → 01:09:37.595
And I assume that you probably have a lot of baby boomers.
01:09:37.595 → 01:09:39.275
This is generally how this goes.
01:09:40.095 → 01:09:43.655
It would be very difficult to convince that they’re wrong because they think they’re always right.
01:09:45.755 → 01:09:48.395
So, can you mount a strong argument?
01:09:48.395 → 01:09:49.035
Absolutely.
01:09:49.035 → 01:09:57.335
There are quite sound arguments, easy to follow logically, against permitting women to vote in anything in the church.
01:09:57.855 → 01:10:02.875
And are they going to be persuaded by reason?
01:10:03.515 → 01:10:04.895
I think the answer is probably no.
01:10:05.395 → 01:10:09.335
If they can be persuaded by reason, then by all means you can bring up any number of things, right?
01:10:09.895 → 01:10:11.575
What does God tell women to do in the churches?
01:10:11.975 → 01:10:12.735
Be silent.
01:10:13.495 → 01:10:14.775
Does that permit them to vote?
01:10:14.995 → 01:10:15.355
No.
01:10:16.535 → 01:10:21.335
So, what happens when you elect a leader?
01:10:21.635 → 01:10:25.635
You’re electing the person who will exercise authority on behalf of the group.
01:10:26.235 → 01:10:31.615
Well, if you are voting for him, then all you are doing is abstracting that out one step.
01:10:31.855 → 01:10:37.295
And so, those who vote for the leader are exercising that leadership by proxy.
01:10:37.735 → 01:10:43.875
And so, yes, indeed, you are already wrongfully, if you are a woman and you are voting in the church.
01:10:45.215 → 01:10:59.035
Now, as an aside, if your church has voting and permits women to vote, then by all means, you should vote exactly how your husband tells you, because otherwise, you’re throwing away a vote that could otherwise be spent usefully, right?
01:11:00.335 → 01:11:07.895
In politics, wives should follow their husbands when it comes to voting, because if they just abstain, that’s foolish, you’re throwing away the opportunity.
01:11:08.535 → 01:11:09.875
At least at the local level, right?
01:11:09.875 → 01:11:11.115
Local elections can matter.
01:11:12.175 → 01:11:23.415
So the arguments against it are sound can be taken directly from scripture, in most cases, but the ship thing is really the core of it, but you have to explain headship.
01:11:23.415 → 01:11:29.415
So maybe go listen to the Stone Quire episode on headship to get a refresher on that.
01:11:30.555 → 01:11:36.775
But like I said, it’s going to come down to whether or not they are willing to listen to reason and willing to listen to scripture.
01:11:36.775 → 01:11:43.275
And I think the odds are very likely, or else they would never have put forward such a resolution.
01:11:45.215 → 01:11:46.775
That doesn’t mean you don’t make the argument.
01:11:47.155 → 01:11:58.535
You make the argument, you give them the chance, and maybe you’re giving them the chance to condemn themselves, right, to deepen their sin, to refuse to repent.
01:12:00.235 → 01:12:00.995
That’s the case.
01:12:08.118 → 01:12:12.158
Okay, a follow-up question for the question about missions.
01:12:12.518 → 01:12:19.558
The person is asking about domestic missionaries, but they have Anabaptist views.
01:12:20.338 → 01:12:33.118
I would probably try to find someone who is a domestic missionary whose views align with what you believe about the faith so that you’re not troubling your conscience by funding something you disagree, something you think is false.
01:12:33.718 → 01:12:41.178
So, find a group that is doing domestic missionary work with whom you can fund them instead.
01:12:41.638 → 01:12:43.458
Your tithe doesn’t have to go to your local church.
01:12:43.458 → 01:12:54.338
Your tithe can go to some other Christian institutions, some other Christian teacher, and that’s great news these days because many churches are faithless and maybe you don’t want to fund your local church because it’s doing evil things.
01:13:06.981 → 01:13:10.201
A few more questions for the future before I lose them.
01:13:17.477 → 01:13:21.397
I do see, I want to note this time for the person to ask.
01:13:22.497 → 01:13:24.857
The question about, why have you forsaken me?
01:13:24.997 → 01:13:26.317
I have that in my notes.
01:13:26.317 → 01:13:27.817
I will try to address that next time.
01:13:27.817 → 01:13:31.297
It’s going to take a little bit of time to address it, so I don’t want to do it tonight.
01:13:32.837 → 01:13:36.417
I think we’re right about an hour, 10 minutes right now, maybe.
01:13:51.308 → 01:13:58.208
I think I will answer one more question for this episode.
01:13:58.388 → 01:13:59.608
And it’s another question.
01:14:00.268 → 01:14:01.748
20 is a good number, how much to end.
01:14:02.508 → 01:14:10.868
So, the chat cut off the end of your question, but I have the core of it, so I think I’m probably good.
01:14:11.648 → 01:14:19.588
I have been thinking about submitting an application to Patriot Front since I heard you recommend it as a good organization, and even more so since they’re marred.
01:14:20.748 → 01:14:29.768
But I was looking at the organization, I was a bit dejected by Rousseau’s lack of religion, as well as the organization’s stated secularism and openness to paganism.
01:14:30.768 → 01:14:34.888
I get the sense most of the members are Christians, that is definitely correct.
01:14:35.268 → 01:14:41.168
But what do you make of this less than ideal aspect of Patriot Front as a nationalist?
01:14:42.188 → 01:14:50.368
And then whatever your second question was, the something, I don’t know if it’s the chat, the plug-in, whatever, something cut it off, so I don’t have that.
01:14:50.368 → 01:14:52.568
So I’ll just answer the portion that I have at least.
01:14:53.908 → 01:14:54.388
Yes.
01:14:54.788 → 01:14:59.388
Patriot Front is not necessarily…
01:15:01.088 → 01:15:02.928
I know what their materials say.
01:15:02.928 → 01:15:04.948
I have a copy of it here somewhere.
01:15:04.948 → 01:15:07.468
I went to their national gathering.
01:15:07.468 → 01:15:10.208
That’s, I guess, it’s pretty much public knowledge at this point.
01:15:10.708 → 01:15:11.888
I spoke with him.
01:15:12.568 → 01:15:13.988
We didn’t really discuss religion.
01:15:13.988 → 01:15:25.668
However, I think he’d be fine with me saying that I gave him a challenge, and I said that the string attached was at some point in the future, we’re going to have a discussion about religion.
01:15:25.708 → 01:15:28.628
So maybe that’ll give you some hope for the future.
01:15:29.548 → 01:15:31.888
But I understand why he’s doing what he’s doing, right?
01:15:32.708 → 01:15:36.408
It’s in the vein of many men down through history.
01:15:37.348 → 01:15:47.088
You know, Hitler basically said, the Protestants and the Roman Catholics, keep your squabbling somewhere else, we don’t need it in the political movement.
01:15:48.008 → 01:15:54.688
Bismarck told the Protestants and the Roman Catholics, keep your squabbling somewhere else, we don’t need it in politics.
01:15:55.008 → 01:15:59.148
The Prussian Union was him telling the Lutherans and the reform to stop squabbling.
01:16:00.748 → 01:16:08.588
Religious infighting is a very difficult thing in a political movement, and it can send things off the rails very easily.
01:16:08.988 → 01:16:18.968
So I understand why men who want to focus on the political don’t necessarily want to deal with religion, right?
01:16:20.208 → 01:16:26.488
So, I don’t think that it is something that you can entirely avoid.
01:16:26.728 → 01:16:30.808
And the reason for that is very simple and also very complex.
01:16:30.808 → 01:16:31.968
But I’ll give the simple answer.
01:16:31.968 → 01:16:33.128
The simple answer is this.
01:16:33.988 → 01:16:38.908
A nation is blood, soil, myth.
01:16:40.248 → 01:16:42.408
Part of myth is religion.

01:16:43.628 → 01:16:48.808
Your nation and your religion are identical to a certain extent.
01:16:49.068 → 01:16:53.828
So you can’t actually ignore the religion issue, the religion question forever.
01:16:55.728 → 01:17:01.248
I recognize again what these men are doing, what Rousseau is doing, and he wants to do that.
01:17:01.988 → 01:17:09.528
I don’t even think he’s necessarily wrong, but eventually the matter will have to be decided.
01:17:09.928 → 01:17:16.988
Now, the goal, of course, is to win politically, and then we can go back to having our infighting, because that’s just humanity.
01:17:16.988 → 01:17:20.228
There will always be divisions among you brothers, right?
01:17:20.288 → 01:17:21.468
That is the words of scripture.
01:17:23.828 → 01:17:33.188
I don’t think that ultimately the nationalist movement in the US that is successful will be able to avoid religion entirely.
01:17:33.188 → 01:17:34.828
And Patriot Front doesn’t.
01:17:35.608 → 01:17:38.008
They had a crucifix for their march.
01:17:38.968 → 01:17:40.388
They’re not a Christian.
01:17:40.988 → 01:17:45.928
But like I said, I do know that most of the organization is Christian.
01:17:45.928 → 01:17:47.268
Most of the members are Christian.
01:17:47.268 → 01:17:48.988
Many of them are stone choir listeners.
01:17:48.988 → 01:17:51.488
Many of them are probably listening to this as well.
01:17:51.768 → 01:17:53.968
They follow me on X and elsewhere.
01:17:54.748 → 01:18:02.288
I think that ultimately, the Christian portion, and it is the majority of the nationalist movement, will win out.
01:18:02.328 → 01:18:15.308
And I think that the pagans will come back into the fold as they see a more masculine, traditional Christianity take over from the moribund, wicked organizations that are all dying out anyway.
01:18:16.948 → 01:18:22.408
So, I think that the problem will, by and large, solve its diehards here and there, but that’s inevitable.
01:18:22.408 → 01:18:24.968
There are always individuals who are outliers in that way.
01:18:26.468 → 01:18:27.968
So, I think join the organization.
01:18:27.968 → 01:18:30.508
I think it is a good thing, and recognize what you’re doing.
01:18:31.048 → 01:18:35.888
As a Christian, you’re just tilting that scale a little bit further in our direction, so that’s a good thing.
01:18:36.688 → 01:18:43.248
But, like I said, it’s a discussion that at some point, it’s not something that can be avoided.
01:18:43.248 → 01:18:44.468
It is important.
01:18:44.728 → 01:18:46.628
I’m actually writing an essay on it right now.
01:18:46.628 → 01:18:49.248
It’s in a notebook down here, half written.
01:18:49.248 → 01:18:51.108
Hopefully, I’ll get that published this coming week.
01:18:51.828 → 01:19:05.908
But I don’t think that it’s going to be a big deal that they right now, religious pluralism, as it were, I don’t think he’s going to permit, you know, Hindus and Muslims, right?
01:19:05.908 → 01:19:18.028
He’s basically just saying, I recognize that a certain percentage of white men are fed up with the current state of the churches and have opted instead for what they’re calling neo-paganism.
01:19:18.028 → 01:19:19.468
I won’t go into the issue right now.
01:19:20.248 → 01:19:29.248
And they’re still white men, they’re still my brothers, they want what is best for their nation, and they’re Christians as well, so he’s just not dealing with the issue.
01:19:30.748 → 01:19:32.188
I don’t have that luxury, right?
01:19:32.188 → 01:19:37.888
And I don’t want to get into it too much more deeply, because, like I said, I’m writing an essay on it, and I’d rather just publish that.
01:19:41.288 → 01:19:48.408
Because I’m a theologian, and a teacher, and so I am going to answer to God for the things I say and the things I fail to say.
01:19:48.888 → 01:19:51.588
I don’t get to be the above-the-fray politician.
01:19:53.208 → 01:20:06.748
I’m involved in politics too, so it’s a bit of both in my case, but that’s why I don’t avoid the issue, even though I would prefer if I were ecumenical and just dealt with the politics instead of dealing with the religion as well.
01:20:06.748 → 01:20:07.728
I don’t have the option.
01:20:09.168 → 01:20:15.008
But like I said, join the organization, tilt it further in our favor with regard to the Christian membership.
01:20:15.008 → 01:20:16.208
I think that’s a good thing to do.
01:20:18.048 → 01:20:21.688
But I think that will be the last question.
01:20:24.228 → 01:20:26.128
I’ll answer one more because I see it here.
01:20:27.008 → 01:20:28.288
This always happens, doesn’t it?
01:20:28.808 → 01:20:38.728
To the person who said that 250 is a better number to end on, I think my voice might actually give out if I tried to answer 250 questions in a row, in this sort of format.
01:20:40.208 → 01:20:41.508
Final question for this week.
01:20:42.468 → 01:20:46.928
I have heard people use 1 Corinthians 7 as proof of mutual submission.
01:20:46.928 → 01:20:47.968
Your thoughts on that?
01:20:47.968 → 01:20:49.808
So, obviously.
01:20:51.388 → 01:20:56.488
Maybe I shouldn’t have used this one since it’s potentially involved, but at any rate, we’ll pull this up.
01:20:58.268 → 01:21:00.248
Come on, Longhouse.
01:21:00.248 → 01:21:04.608
Concerning the matters about which you wrote, it is good for a man not to have sexual relations with a woman.
01:21:04.868 → 01:21:06.368
Note that that’s a quote from the letter.
01:21:07.088 → 01:21:12.168
But because of the temptation to sexual immorality, each man should have his own wife and each woman her own husband.
01:21:12.168 → 01:21:16.968
The husband should give to his wife her conjugal rights, and likewise the wife to her husband.
01:21:17.108 → 01:21:19.508
For the wife does not have authority over her own body.
01:21:20.808 → 01:21:24.908
Likewise, the husband does not have authority over his own body, but the wife does.
01:21:25.248 → 01:21:36.028
Do not deprive one another except perhaps by agreement for a limited time, that you may devote yourselves to prayer, but then come together again, so that Satan may not tempt you because of your lack of self-control.
01:21:36.948 → 01:21:45.388
I think that’s probably sufficient, because really the point the brains try to pull out is that the husband doesn’t have authority over his own body, but the wife does, which is true.
01:21:46.848 → 01:21:55.068
Part of marrying is that you have conjugal duties to your wife, and you do not get to say, you know, I have a headache, at least not too many times.
01:21:55.548 → 01:21:57.248
This almost never happens that way.
01:21:57.248 → 01:21:59.448
It’s usually the woman, not the man, who’s doing this.
01:22:00.108 → 01:22:00.968
It happens sometimes.
01:22:00.968 → 01:22:01.888
There are men who do this.
01:22:02.308 → 01:22:03.908
You don’t have the option if you’re married.
01:22:04.068 → 01:22:08.028
You have duties to your wife that are physical duties, and you have to fulfill those.
01:22:08.308 → 01:22:09.688
God’s very clear about that.
01:22:09.688 → 01:22:10.848
It’s right here.
01:22:12.168 → 01:22:18.748
But earlier in this very same episode, we read a verse that said, the head of every wife is her husband.
01:22:20.428 → 01:22:21.908
The husband is the head.
01:22:21.908 → 01:22:22.908
He is in control.
01:22:22.908 → 01:22:27.468
And it likens it to Christ being the head of the church, right?
01:22:27.848 → 01:22:31.668
That’s another verse from the one we read, but there is a verse that says that as well.
01:22:32.428 → 01:22:33.928
Christ is the head of the church.
01:22:34.268 → 01:22:37.248
Does the church get to tell Christ what he gets to do?
01:22:37.888 → 01:22:38.228
No.
01:22:38.728 → 01:22:42.968
Does the church have new rules and Christ has to obey them?
01:22:43.248 → 01:22:43.608
No.
01:22:44.308 → 01:22:45.468
Christ is the head.
01:22:45.748 → 01:22:46.948
He’s the final say.
01:22:47.188 → 01:22:48.208
He has the veto.
01:22:48.368 → 01:22:49.468
He makes the rules.
01:22:49.888 → 01:22:53.888
The same thing is true of wives with regard to their husbands.
01:22:54.108 → 01:22:57.388
They submit in the way the church submits to Christ.
01:22:58.628 → 01:22:59.288
And it’s very odd.
01:22:59.288 → 01:23:06.988
There’s a passage that says, wives submit to your husbands in all things, as unto the Lord.
01:23:07.348 → 01:23:15.348
Well, if you’re supposed to submit as a wife to your husband the same way that everyone is supposed to submit to God, I don’t think that there’s any real way around that.
01:23:15.348 → 01:23:16.748
It’s not egalitarianism.
01:23:17.188 → 01:23:20.848
This is just saying, you’re not allowed to submit as a wife.
01:23:20.968 → 01:23:22.748
That’s literally all it’s saying here.
01:23:23.648 → 01:23:26.028
So the husband doesn’t have the authority to do that.
01:23:26.188 → 01:23:33.788
And the reason he doesn’t have that authority is because when you married, you handed over that authority, you gave it up.
01:23:33.928 → 01:23:36.528
You had the option to be celibate.
01:23:37.608 → 01:23:39.068
I mean, you don’t really have the option, right?
01:23:39.068 → 01:23:41.828
It’s in this hypothetical sense.
01:23:42.148 → 01:23:48.108
Like once you marry, you’ve given up part of that autonomy to your wife.
01:23:48.388 → 01:23:53.248
In this specific, in this very specific case, this very specific sense, that’s all it is.
01:23:53.788 → 01:24:03.188
So anyone tries to use this for egalitarianism or anything like that, or for feminism, it’s just saying you can’t withhold sex from your wife.
01:24:03.468 → 01:24:04.428
That’s all it’s saying.
01:24:07.368 → 01:24:15.328
But, you know, those people are going to obviously hate the passages that say you can’t keep your wife submit to your husbands, particularly when it’s all things as unto the Lord.
01:24:18.268 → 01:24:20.988
But I think that will be it for this week.
01:24:20.988 → 01:24:24.508
I will not hit that 250 number that we saw someone bring up.
01:24:24.508 → 01:24:25.888
I don’t think I could quite do that.
01:24:26.488 → 01:24:27.788
I think I probably answered that.
01:24:27.788 → 01:24:29.688
I definitely answered that many at this point.
01:24:29.688 → 01:24:39.188
If I’m, I don’t know, averaging around 15 to 20 per week, then we’re, you know, 500, 600 questions by now, I think.
01:24:40.928 → 01:24:45.508
At any rate, thank you for those who contributed questions and for participating in the chat.
01:24:45.508 → 01:24:48.188
It’s always great to be able to answer these.
01:24:48.588 → 01:24:54.888
Try to do it every week, don’t always make it every week, but winds up being Thursday or Friday, depending on how my week goes.
01:24:55.048 → 01:24:58.568
It’s been a busy week, so wound up being Friday this time.
01:24:59.068 → 01:25:02.668
And I hope that you all have a good weekend.
01:25:02.668 → 01:25:03.888
Go out, do something.
01:25:04.328 → 01:25:11.148
Hopefully, go out and go out in the outdoors and don’t meet the aforementioned bear from earlier in the episode.
01:25:11.148 → 01:25:15.348
But go out and enjoy God’s creation, and then go to church on Sunday.
01:25:15.688 → 01:25:25.308
So until next week, may God bless you and state all the ways you can submit questions, because you’ve all heard it dozens of times by now, and you can find it in the show notes.
01:25:25.308 → 01:25:30.148
But God bless you and keep you safe until next week, and go to church on Sunday.
01:25:30.608 → 01:25:34.228
I will see you all on Thursday or Friday, depending on my week goes.
01:25:34.668 → 01:25:35.248
God bless.
