It's unique, that these two men, who have stood by their convictions on patriarchy, christian nationalism, and not wearing the yoke of the woke have beared the most lasting fruit of the men who had ministries from when I first converted 15 years ago (Driscoll, Chandler, Keller, ect.) I think that speaks for itself with whom the Lord is being preached faithfully.
What are some of the commenters thoughts on heathen Nationalism? Seems like we should be more worried about them than Christians. It will be their laws and policies we will be forced to keep. This phrase Christian Nationalism is just another phoney phrase to shame people into not participating in their own Nations politics. Just another label to manipulate people like Islamaphobe or homophobe. It's coming from Marxists and when people use the pulpit to shame Christians what they really are is obvious. The word Snakes comes easily to mind.

I'm a true immigrant (unfortunately I need to explain I'm a legal immigrant) and I can attest that America IS NOT racist. From my point of view, God loves America so much that he currently gave many true preachers like Voddie, McCarthur, Piper, Paul Washer, etc....
Saying that "America" is or is not racist does not mean much because "America" is not a single entity with one mind and one worldview. A better inquiry would be to find out if racism, overt or not, still exists in America. The answer to this question could easily be found in the comment section of articles in Foxnews, Newsmax, or Breitbart about one or more black people. Evidence of racism can also be equally easily found in social media groups like those affiliated with the Nation of Islam which shows that all races can be guilty of racism. This does not mean that all or even most Americans are racist but racism is still a reality in this country. Not talking about racism to combat it is as effective as not talking about sin to overcome it (racism is a form of sin after all). One should avoid the extremes of not seeing racism or seeing it everywhere. The Bible with its concept of all men made in the image of God gives us the moral foundation to overcome racism or not engage in it because racism is a direct denial of God's image in man.
We ought take the Gospel to the ends of the world definitely, but lets also take the true Gospel to the corner around our house, blessings to all ❤️🙏🏻❤️🙏🏻
#ThankYou for the solid, thoughtful and illuminating discussion and Q&A. I am familiar with Jody bottom from years ago that I heard him speak at a homeschool conference in Phoenix and have followed him since but not Pastor Doug Wilson. This was very helpful to me to differentiates and coalesce Christian and nationalism without it being a presumed pejorative. Thank you again will continue to study and read the word of God and follow you for clarification to agreement in these troubling times. Hebrews 12:1,2, Psalm 139
Thank you so much for interviewing Dr Baucham. I am incredibly thankful, fortunate, and blessed to have found his videos and interviews as His G-dly wisdom has brought me closer and deeper to our L-rd and Savior, and The Messiah, Yeshua. Regarding the state of the nation, I couldn't agree more with Dr Baucham's perspective that local community and governance come first. This is not to discount or understate the importance of federal elections, as they are so very important. But over the course of the 21st Century, I've seen how powerful and influential local elections are to citizens' day-to-day lives as the American culture and society have fractured across pronounced ideological lines. I also believe that the fabric of the nation started fraying in the 1960s and is now irreparably torn into pieces, which speaks to the importance of local community and governance. Also, the question regarding predestination (elect) salvation as it relates to abortion was an interesting one. As I thought about it, it raised other questions like, "When does one become responsible/accountable for their salvation?" and "Does predestination (elect) absolve the individual from their responsibility and accountability to ask, seek, and knock (Matthew 7:7-11)?". That led me to wonder if one's salvation and responsibility/accountability are based on age, physical/mental ability to communicate, or being introduced to God's Word, etc? Is a child who dies from abortion, or was not old enough to communicate and understand, or someone who was born with a physical/mental disability, or someone who lived on a remote Pacific island and never came into contact with G-d's Word covered by His grace and mercy? In the end, I guess that all I can do is search His Word for His wisdom, which led me to Romans 10, Romans 8, and 2 Samuel 12 (although I'm sure there are other applicable and helpful verses). Based on what I read, one's ability to hear, see, comprehend, understand, and accept or reject His Word is central to the discussion, and I presume that those who are unable to are saved by G-d's grace and mercy and are therefore predestined (elect). Finally, with the question about living in Christ in a technologically evolving world, there is only one book that you need to learn, discern, instruct, rebuke, etc and that's G-d's Word (2 Timothy 3:16). It is timeless and eternal (Psalm 119:89 & 160) and there is nothing new under the sun (Ecclesiastes 1:9). Fundamentally, I don't see any difference between the world that Apostel Paul wrote about in the First Century and today - Adam and Eve's nature is alive and well and is still in conflict with G-d's nature. In fact, the church is in the same, if not a worse, state than the one that Paul wrote about in 1 Corinthians 5, and just like the church at Corinth, churches in America and across the world have invited in and embraced the culture so much so that a growing number are indistinguishable from the pagans. Foundationally, I would say that Christian's biggest vulnerability or challenge to living in Christ in this world isn't technology, the internet, mainstream media, or the devil. Our biggest and most glaring vulnerability is our abject ignorance of His Word and our failure to apply His Word to our lives every day, in every moment, and in every thought and action. Along with that is our failure to put on and live in the armor of G-d (Ephesians 6:10-18) and not take it off. That vulnerability creates our challenges and leads to sin. There's no doubt that wise men of G-d like Dr Baucham, Mr Wilson, and many others have wisdom and teaching that will be of great benefit to all Christians in their walk in Christ and that they absolutely answer Yeshua's call to feed His sheep (John 21:17). But, it does not replace G-d's Word and knowing His Word. Just like technology, the internet, and the mainstream media can be sources that ultimately attack, confuse, and deceive a Christian in their walk, technology and accessibility to other Christians views and opinions (no matter how G-dly they are) can very easily supplant and replace time spent in G-d's Word. At the end of the day, one's life and journey in Christ is a personal relationship and, just like every other relationship, the only way you get to know Him is to spend time with Him and He lives through His Word - not through someone else's word about Him - which is why immersing yourself in and meditating on His Word is foundational. Lastly, an equally important part is communing with Him every day through individual prayer in private (Luke 6 & 11). (Edited) I wanted to add a YT video from the channel "John MacArthur Sermon 2024" titled "Overcome difficulties and hardships to be with God - John Macarthur Sermon 2024" as it speaks to the topic. Thank you again for hosting and sharing your interview with Dr Baucham. Numbers 6:24-26 and Shalom Shalom.
@@HappyPenguin75034 Thank you for the reply and for sharing John 6:39, "And this is the will of him who sent me, that I shall lose none of all those he has given me, but raise them up at the last day". That verse is a great example of how the predestined elect are given by G-d the Father to G-d the Son (Yeshua) and it also reminds me of what the Apostle Paul wrote in Romans 8. In particular.. Those whom G-d the Father gave to G-d the Son (Yeshua) have G-d the Holy Spirit living within them and will shed their physical bodies of death to live eternally with Him - Romans 8:9-11," 9 You, however, are not in the realm of the flesh but are in the realm of the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God lives in you. And if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, they do not belong to Christ. 10 But if Christ is in you, then even though your body is subject to death because of sin, the Spirit gives life[d] because of righteousness. 11 And if the Spirit of him who raised Jesus from the dead is living in you, he who raised Christ from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies because of[e] his Spirit who lives in you." For those whom G-d the Father gave to G-d the Son (Yeshua) are the Son's adopted daughters and sons in Christ who cry out His name - Romans 8:14-15, "For those who are led by the Spirit of God are the children of God. 15 The Spirit you received does not make you slaves, so that you live in fear again; rather, the Spirit you received brought about your adoption to sonship.[f] And by him we cry, “Abba,[g] Father.” Yeshua's adopted daughters and sons are of G-d the Father as they embody and live the fruit of the Spirit in their lives with their eyes affixed to His Word and on the Son - Romans 8:23, "23 Not only so, but we ourselves, who have the firstfruits of the Spirit, groan inwardly as we wait eagerly for our adoption to sonship, the redemption of our bodies." Additionally, those who G-d the Father predestined (the elect and remnant) shine His light as they seek to live in Yeshua and in doing so demonstrate that they heard His voice and are justified in Him, and will be glorified after they shed their sinful physical body upon death - Romans 8:28-30, "28 And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who[i] have been called according to his purpose. 29 For those God foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brothers and sisters. 30 And those he predestined, he also called; those he called, he also justified; those he justified, he also glorified." Finally, G-d the Father will glorify the predestined elect (and remnant) which will demonstrate that Yeshua will not lose any of the saints whom G-d the Father gave the G-d the Son. - "38 For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons,[k] neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, 39 neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord." Oh, what a blessed assurance for those who continually ask, seek, and knock on His door and run the race to the very end with their eyes, hearts, minds, and spirits affixed to the cross and Yeshua's eyes while renewing their spirit every day through the Holy Spirit.

He has policy no drinking for staff.. he said “ how would you feel if you called me up and were struggling with a spouse or child that was addicted and I met you at door with cocktail in my hand?” Your job as pastors is to protect the sheep.. please keep that in focus..
@@virginiaweir-hj1rtwell it says don’t be drunk - be sober minded (many aspects). So if anything affects your thinking you are drunk. More than a few sips of wine or maybe one sip of liquor. Today alcohol mix drinks are much stronger than in the time of scripture being written. So yeah really should avoid for most part and entirely can’t hurt.
@@virginiaweir-hj1rt Don’t do good things that look bad nor bad things that look good We should not be a stumbling block to brethren even if what we do is not forbidden
I like the point about doing what pleases God or not. Do we want to do what pleases God as a nation or not ? That question perfectly frames the debate, and of course I say we should have laws that pleases God as a nation.
You cannot legislate pleasing God. Enforcing laws forcefully won't make a state godly. Instead, lead people to Christ through words, deeds, and compassion, rather than fixating on gaining power in a secular government system unrelated to Christianity.
@@sifx.z1524 The thing is, both OP and you can be right. You can't force people to have faith by law, but you can legislate in a way that pleases God. It's a question of what ought to be illegal. For example, God hates murder and rape, and it would be just for a Christian people to condemn those things and create laws against them as a society. Just because a law against murder won't make a person godly, it can stop a person from otherwise harmful behavior and remove those who don't think the law ought to apply to them. It is a form of loving one's neighbor to desire just laws and just punishments. If we can agree on that much, then it is a question of how we know what laws and punishments are just. As a Christian, I think God has something to say about it in Scripture what we should study and seek to apply. But if we reject God's example of civil law, what do we do? Enforce whatever seems right in our own eyes as if we are God, knowing good and evil?
@@oracleoftroy I get what you're saying, but it's best if church and state stay totally separate. Think about it: God judges us by our hearts, not by the laws we make. You speak of the 6th Commandment that our laws can handle, but they can't cover the first 5! It's better to please God by what's in our hearts than what we have enacted as laws on paper.
@@sifx.z1524 I think when we study scripture, we see that God sets up two spheres of government, one of civil government run by the city elders and appointed regional leaders and the high judge, and one of the church run by the Levites. However, _total_ separation doesn't seem to be the case. The church has a role in speaking to the evils of civil government and calling them to repent and do as God commands, and the civil government has a duty to protect the church. But the church is not the state and the state is not the church. Moreover, not all sins are crimes. Take murder. God lays out civil cases that result in civil penalties for murder. But Jesus also calls hate murder, yet we see no civil punishment. I think if one would do a proper study of scripture and the law, much of these kind of objections against God's law simply go away as scripture doesn't support it. In fact, the way to fight that kind of abuse is to go to scripture and advocate for what God has said rather than run away from scripture and put in place people who hate God and do what is right in their own eyes.
@@sifx.z1524 I have stated that we should legislate according to the example set forward by God's example of just civil law. I think God already gives an example of separating church and state: he has different offices for civil rulers (town elders and the high judge, later the king to rule civil matters, the Levitical priesthood and the high priest and prophets to rule in church matters). The church had a role to call rulers to rule in godly ways and enforce godly laws, but they were not in charge of civil matters. Likewise, the state had a role in protecting and supporting the function of the church, but were not in charge of actually doing the day to day governance and services provided by the church. Are you saying even more than this when you say church and state should be *totally* separate? What does that entail? Christians shouldn't vote or seek office? If a person in civil power becomes a Christian, they should resign immediately? Or should Christians deliberately vote in a way that goes against Christian values and vote as it pleases atheists and Muslims and any other religious viewpoint to keep God's ideas of just laws as far from the civil realm as possible? And the last bit confuses me. Scripture speaks of our fruit revealing our heart. But you seem to say the Christian's fruit should be to seek injustice in society because it is better to be a Christian in the heart and not live like it in the voting booth or in executing justice. Was Nahum wrong to confront David or John the Baptist to confront Herod? Was it wrong for Jesus to support his cousin and decry Herod? Or Paul to confront Felix and Agrippa the way he did? The thing is, scripture (both old and new testament) is full of examples of the church calling kings and others in power to repent and govern as God would have them govern. I don't see how we can separate this God given role from the church. But that is very different from merging the church with the state. The church should govern ecclesial matters and the state civil matters.

They are both wolves in sheeps clothing, everything the Bible warns you not to be deceived by. They are just the representatives of the apostate church and of its antichrist christianity that the entire church sells to the lost. All the churches pastors, preachers, teachers are all frauds. I suggest you read all of 2nd Peter Ch. 2, as well as the book of Jude. (and the entire Bible) The christianity of these ungodly men and of the church is not the Christianity of the Bible. 2 Peter Chapter 2 1, "But there were false prophets also among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you, who privily shall bring in damnable heresies, even denying the Lord that bought them, and bring upon themselves swift destruction. 2, And many shall follow their pernicious ways; by reason of whom the way of truth shall be evil spoken of. 3, And through covetousness shall they with feigned words make merchandise of you: whose judgment now of a long time lingereth not, and their damnation slumbereth not."
Around 46:00 I love how voddie calms the fears of persecution. The enemies of Christ are weaker and less violent now than in the past. Christians shouldn't get complacent but it's not the main concern the church faces. The devil is sly and sneaky. He is weakening the Church from the inside out.

I think you can be a cultural Christian ie want to live in a place founded on Christian principles but salvation is by faith in Jesus Christ through grace and Christianity can only be spread by evangelism, not by force of law or military.
Founders ministries has a good video on this topic recently and while your first half is correct the second is not. A good example is that of the godly kings of Judah who forcefully tore down the asherah, the high places, unalived those who worshiped there. A "strong" man approach works to reset culture to a godly one. The relationship with Christ is individual, but the framework for that to happen and perpetuate can be external through a strong man approach. Works in reverse too, and our enemy uses it well.
@@JJFrance Ah yes the disingenuous strawman. Whenever I see someone write about an individual relationship with Christ, my first thought is...still holds to the old covenant . Lol.
@@EverEverOn you literally just used the Old Covenant. There is no "strong man approach", and Christian nationalism, if it wasn't obvious enough, but take a closer look at the word itself and Christian theology. It's the antichrist system. It's no surprise, though. Having dipped my feet in both, I can tell you that we have some REALLY BAD ACTORS (both in its actual meaning and as well as literal bad actors cause this whole ruse is obvious to me now) on the Orthodox Christian side of TH-cam and abroad pushing for the exact same thing. It's not a coincidence at all. I'm starting to think, as a Slav myself, that at the very least, Russian slavs are the Tribe of Dan from which the antichrist will come. I'm sure most people know that theory by now, having to do with the Danube, D(a)nieper etc. I haven't actually studied the etymology of either name and realize this honestly will remain a shot in the dark until whenever it is that we will know who the tribes are, but I am basing my hunch on vastly different reasons. So, anything else just adds. No country is Christian and you can bet your bottom dollar that not a single one truly will be, let alone multiple ones, in the likened days of Noah and actually far worse. As it is written that it will be worse and that the Earth will not have seen that amount evil in its entire existence, and never shall it be again when the New Earth and New Jerusalem are created. Entropy is as scientific a term as it is biblical. There will be no revival. There will be a great falling away. There will be no "we have to get organized because stupid is unsustainable" as Wilson said in this. Unsustainable? Lucky... I don't know what world or Gospel you are in, but when the eschaton describes an Earth that is worse than the days of Noah and we are trying to stop it with "Christian Nationalism" are we not fighting against prophecy? Are we not doing what Peter did when Christ told him "Get behind me, Satan."? Oh Jesus No! We have to fix this up right away there's no way we can let the world go down to degeneracy and- ..... oh... wait. Oops.
- Does Baucham have a dedicated channel or podcast? I've looked for a place to listen to his collected sermons, or something like that, but I've just had to hunt and find one here and one there.
Doug is free to drink alcohol, including hard liquor. However, I question his judgment and wisdom to publicly consume hard liquor in front of an unknown and mixed public audience during a discussion on Biblical values vs worldly values. What was the purpose of that and how does he think that makes him more manly? I noticed Voddie didn’t touch his glass.
@@raskolnikov6443 Follow me. If he thinks that by publicly drinking hard liquor is a sign of his masculinity, then the reasoning would follow if he does not drink hard liquor publicly, he is displaying or possessing less masculinity. I don't know any public conservative Christian leader that would drink alcohol, let alone hard liquor publicly or on a video posted to TH-cam for millions around the world to see. Maybe you can respond to that point since that is the more serious concern, his poor judgment.
Why do we Christian always have to compare with ungodly people to set a standard? This is more like advocating for a political gain. Let’s make all nations Christian and problem solved. The church should just continue preaching the gospel and don’t worry about what the nations do.
@@NicholasRyan0723 absolutely not saying not to preach the gospel to all nations but nowadays we Christians feel that we need to hear that certain nation is now a Christian nation. That’s my argument. And again, real Christians shouldn’t be taking the position that having politicians calling themselves Christians will solve everything and unfortunately the more we keep playing politics in the church, the more we’re losing. Jesus will not lose but our job as the scripture says, we’re not doing it.
The church should be the conscience of the government. We are to occupy until he comes. It’s harmful to allow evil people to run amuck in government or anywhere else. You’re harming your neighbors by abdicating your responsibility to participate in all levels of society and point to Jesus. Yes, share the gospel. We can walk and chew gum.
It does seem unnecessary...if they were at each other's homes...and both brothers are of equal maturity...that's one thing...but those of us who have struggled with alcohol addiction...it again..in my opinion...is an unnecessary accessory to this conversation....

My wife’s mom doesn’t like Doug Wilson. Her criticisms are vague and sketchy. “He’s weird”. “I know someone who….” But nothing specific, just smoke. The more I listen to him he just sounds very reasonable.
It is interesting to me how many people in the comments are so focused on casting judgment on these two men before they give a compliment of anything they spoke of. My only hope is that most of the negative comments are from young Christians and not so-called mature Christians. If so, I can understand why our church has such issues. God, please forgive us for judging others instead of praying for them. It shows where we lack in our faith and our walk with God. We must do better if we decide to follow Christ!

Regarding the brother at *55:16* the only thing I can think of is *Romans 10:13;* _For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved._ Although the Bible does not say one way or another, since babies (whether born or unborn) are incapable of even knowing that they have a need to call upon the name of the Lord, I believe the blood of Jesus covers them because they had not yet committed any sins, though they are born with a sin nature.
"It's a sort of uncomfortable truth", "Whether you like it or not, it's my job to declare it", "You were silent when they were lying to me; how'd you let me do this to myself?", "We're defining love wrong", "There's a secular idol that we have to appeal to standards that are sort of in the air and can't quote Moses or Jesus..." Men, if you're going to keep poking me like that, I declare to you this - you must understand polygyny is part of God's design for us.

You must understand this, because this is part of God's kingdom, and so if you stand against this, you are dividing God's kingdom against itself, for I know that you are part of it too.

@@daniel.s8126 Thanks, but I would not have made the comment if it was fine on my side. The audio can easily be boosted in the software the video was created in. Daniel, are you in charge of the production or just a random commenter trolling the comments?
The majority of paedobaptists don’t believe Wilson is “confessionally reformed” since he supports Federal Vision theology which has been ruled heresy by multiple conservative Presbyterian denominations. And his paedocommunion advocacy further puts him outside the bounds of the historic reformed confessions.
LOVE trumps LIBERTY. That’s the easiest way to say what the Bible teaches about being a stumbling block to others with our choices. It’s one thing to have a drink, it’s a completely different thing to flaunt this liberty for thousands to see. Romans 14:15.
Given the rather hateful legalism of many teetotalers over the last century or so, I think it is a very loving thing to model Christian self control. Too many only know how to binge or abstain and have no example to look to for properly exercising Christian liberty. I hope more good Christian men would do this and demonstrate that its the legalists who try to turn love into a jail who are in fact not following God and making a law unto themselves.
At 20:23, Doug Wilson says that government decisions will either please God or not please God, but there is nothing that the unsaved can do to please God. It is only the saved that can please God.
... a more extensive answer to bro's question at (55:02) God was not a sadistic, damnation-loving monster in election and reprobation to condemn even those who he predestined to never be able to know and desire morally with a sufficient enough capacity to commit active sin. They cannot be reprobate because all the reprobate, whom no one can identify in advance before the judgment, are accountable for their chosen sin not God's rejection of them beforehand, and they prove worthy of their eternal sentence by their conscious, preferred rebellion of unrepentance and faith during their lifetime, which is why God's all-encompassing sovereignty doesn't make his final judgment unjust. We must be elect before creation to be a recipient of new birth and then repentance and faith so that we will be saved, yet no one who is not elect will be held accountable where they did not commit any volitional sin from their corrupt heart's desire. So even though infants and severely disabled people do inherit a sin nature from Adam, when it comes to them, Jesus bore their sin nature on the cross just like the rest of God's elect people so that we would be born again, freed from the dominion of the sin nature over us, and be given repentance and faith after being exposed to the Gospel of Jesus. Therefore, infants, children who die before the point of sufficient mental and moral consciousness, and severely disabled people are given new bodies and sensibilities similar to when Adam was created in an adult mature state, and then they are graciously given faith in Jesus when they see his glory uninhibited in Heaven since Jesus has defeated sin, the grave, and the devil on their behalf and they couldn't possibly possess the faculties required for accountability during their short / too severly impaired life. Who is saved and who isn't saved by sovereign election is all God's right, yet God did not make anyone reprobate who will be able to stand before him at the judgment and say they don't deserve judgment because they never actually chose to commit sin. That would be unjust. Therefore, those who do not consciously, willfully, and actively commit sin due to the lack of the sufficient knowledge and capacity for moral preference cannot be judged on that basis and must be granted saving grace, which God is more inclined to and most glorified in, btw. Also, God does not rejoice in reprobation but rather in the maximal gratitude, awe, and praise that will be given him from the saints at our realization of the great love of God in choosing us for adoption and salvation when he could've rejected us like those who are reprobate who were not inherently worse than us or more deserving than us of damnation because we were just as sinful and unresponsive to grace and righteousness till God made us born again by his own will. God ordained all evil things solely for the glory he gets from displaying his attributes of mercy, grace, justice, faithfulness, wisdom, power, and love, etc, in response to the evil which he never delights in either at his planning stage before creation or as it is happening within time, and he will always judge and ultimately replace all evil with blessedness for the benefit of his beloved.
Two men who claim to speak for Jesus yet don't feel any need to directly draw any of these political strategies out of His Word. But I am only 30 minutes in, if they get to an exposition of Scripture later please timestamp it below. I would like to be wrong.
Wilson: Tribalism breeds war and globalism breeds tyranny. Then proceeds to defend nationalism which has bred both war and tyranny countless times. This incoherence is what happens when you don't get your ideas from a faithful exposition of the Word.
@@mriconoclast13 nationalism can easily turn into globalism if the ideology is trying to bring a global righteousness to fight the wicked. The antichrist will be a false righteous individual that will be so deceiving that even the very elect could be deceived. The first half of the antichrist reign will be a false righteousness reign. He will mimick the Christ, this is how he could use nationalism to bring an authoritarian regime. Dark ages 2.0 along with crusades. Plausible IMO. The world is crying for a Saviour. Jesus is the only one who comes to bring true righteousness. How can we be discerning so that Satan doesn’t give Christians deception in these last days??
In the 30s Nationalism was centralism..it took power from provincial government..Anti Nationalist was "decentralism": Today there is a movement towards Globalism.. So today, Nationalism is decentralism....I am a decentralist.., yes a Nationalist..
Yeah the alcohol is a distraction and stumbling block for many Christians. I dont drink at all and was surprised voodie bacham would flaunt this. Praying it dont lead others astray. Also i felt they didnt do a good job explaining christian nationalism oh well.
It's unique, that these two men, who have stood by their convictions on patriarchy, christian nationalism, and not wearing the yoke of the woke have beared the most lasting fruit of the men who had ministries from when I first converted 15 years ago (Driscoll, Chandler, Keller, ect.) I think that speaks for itself with whom the Lord is being preached faithfully.

What are some of the commenters thoughts on heathen Nationalism? Seems like we should be more worried about them than Christians. It will be their laws and policies we will be forced to keep. This phrase Christian Nationalism is just another phoney phrase to shame people into not participating in their own Nations politics. Just another label to manipulate people like Islamaphobe or homophobe. It's coming from Marxists and when people use the pulpit to shame Christians what they really are is obvious. The word Snakes comes easily to mind.

I'm a true immigrant (unfortunately I need to explain I'm a legal immigrant) and I can attest that America IS NOT racist.
From my point of view, God loves America so much that he currently gave many true preachers like Voddie, McCarthur, Piper, Paul Washer, etc....
Chris Rosborough.
Saying that "America" is or is not racist does not mean much because "America" is not a single entity with one mind and one worldview. A better inquiry would be to find out if racism, overt or not, still exists in America. The answer to this question could easily be found in the comment section of articles in Foxnews, Newsmax, or Breitbart about one or more black people. Evidence of racism can also be equally easily found in social media groups like those affiliated with the Nation of Islam which shows that all races can be guilty of racism. This does not mean that all or even most Americans are racist but racism is still a reality in this country. Not talking about racism to combat it is as effective as not talking about sin to overcome it (racism is a form of sin after all). One should avoid the extremes of not seeing racism or seeing it everywhere. The Bible with its concept of all men made in the image of God gives us the moral foundation to overcome racism or not engage in it because racism is a direct denial of God's image in man.
New laws are passed every month in the South that make it hard for black people to vote.

Jesus Christ is Lord and God. Amen. Bless His Name.
This is the best dialogue I have seen on this topic in a while. I think it’s hard to disagree with this if you call yourself a servant of Christ.
Thank you so much for interviewing Dr Baucham. I am incredibly thankful, fortunate, and blessed to have found his videos and interviews as His G-dly wisdom has brought me closer and deeper to our L-rd and Savior, and The Messiah, Yeshua.
Regarding the state of the nation, I couldn't agree more with Dr Baucham's perspective that local community and governance come first. This is not to discount or understate the importance of federal elections, as they are so very important. But over the course of the 21st Century, I've seen how powerful and influential local elections are to citizens' day-to-day lives as the American culture and society have fractured across pronounced ideological lines. I also believe that the fabric of the nation started fraying in the 1960s and is now irreparably torn into pieces, which speaks to the importance of local community and governance.
Also, the question regarding predestination (elect) salvation as it relates to abortion was an interesting one. As I thought about it, it raised other questions like, "When does one become responsible/accountable for their salvation?" and "Does predestination (elect) absolve the individual from their responsibility and accountability to ask, seek, and knock (Matthew 7:7-11)?".
That led me to wonder if one's salvation and responsibility/accountability are based on age, physical/mental ability to communicate, or being introduced to God's Word, etc? Is a child who dies from abortion, or was not old enough to communicate and understand, or someone who was born with a physical/mental disability, or someone who lived on a remote Pacific island and never came into contact with G-d's Word covered by His grace and mercy?
In the end, I guess that all I can do is search His Word for His wisdom, which led me to Romans 10, Romans 8, and 2 Samuel 12 (although I'm sure there are other applicable and helpful verses). Based on what I read, one's ability to hear, see, comprehend, understand, and accept or reject His Word is central to the discussion, and I presume that those who are unable to are saved by G-d's grace and mercy and are therefore predestined (elect).
Finally, with the question about living in Christ in a technologically evolving world, there is only one book that you need to learn, discern, instruct, rebuke, etc and that's G-d's Word (2 Timothy 3:16). It is timeless and eternal (Psalm 119:89 & 160) and there is nothing new under the sun (Ecclesiastes 1:9). Fundamentally, I don't see any difference between the world that Apostel Paul wrote about in the First Century and today - Adam and Eve's nature is alive and well and is still in conflict with G-d's nature. In fact, the church is in the same, if not a worse, state than the one that Paul wrote about in 1 Corinthians 5, and just like the church at Corinth, churches in America and across the world have invited in and embraced the culture so much so that a growing number are indistinguishable from the pagans.
Foundationally, I would say that Christian's biggest vulnerability or challenge to living in Christ in this world isn't technology, the internet, mainstream media, or the devil. Our biggest and most glaring vulnerability is our abject ignorance of His Word and our failure to apply His Word to our lives every day, in every moment, and in every thought and action. Along with that is our failure to put on and live in the armor of G-d (Ephesians 6:10-18) and not take it off. That vulnerability creates our challenges and leads to sin. There's no doubt that wise men of G-d like Dr Baucham, Mr Wilson, and many others have wisdom and teaching that will be of great benefit to all Christians in their walk in Christ and that they absolutely answer Yeshua's call to feed His sheep (John 21:17). But, it does not replace G-d's Word and knowing His Word.
Just like technology, the internet, and the mainstream media can be sources that ultimately attack, confuse, and deceive a Christian in their walk, technology and accessibility to other Christians views and opinions (no matter how G-dly they are) can very easily supplant and replace time spent in G-d's Word. At the end of the day, one's life and journey in Christ is a personal relationship and, just like every other relationship, the only way you get to know Him is to spend time with Him and He lives through His Word - not through someone else's word about Him - which is why immersing yourself in and meditating on His Word is foundational. Lastly, an equally important part is communing with Him every day through individual prayer in private (Luke 6 & 11).
(Edited) I wanted to add a YT video from the channel "John MacArthur Sermon 2024" titled "Overcome difficulties and hardships to be with God - John Macarthur Sermon 2024" as it speaks to the topic.
Thank you again for hosting and sharing your interview with Dr Baucham. Numbers 6:24-26 and Shalom Shalom.
Jesus said He would not lose any given to Him
@@HappyPenguin75034 Thank you for the reply and for sharing John 6:39, "And this is the will of him who sent me, that I shall lose none of all those he has given me, but raise them up at the last day".
That verse is a great example of how the predestined elect are given by G-d the Father to G-d the Son (Yeshua) and it also reminds me of what the Apostle Paul wrote in Romans 8.
In particular..
Those whom G-d the Father gave to G-d the Son (Yeshua) have G-d the Holy Spirit living within them and will shed their physical bodies of death to live eternally with Him - Romans 8:9-11," 9 You, however, are not in the realm of the flesh but are in the realm of the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God lives in you. And if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, they do not belong to Christ. 10 But if Christ is in you, then even though your body is subject to death because of sin, the Spirit gives life[d] because of righteousness. 11 And if the Spirit of him who raised Jesus from the dead is living in you, he who raised Christ from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies because of[e] his Spirit who lives in you."
For those whom G-d the Father gave to G-d the Son (Yeshua) are the Son's adopted daughters and sons in Christ who cry out His name - Romans 8:14-15, "For those who are led by the Spirit of God are the children of God. 15 The Spirit you received does not make you slaves, so that you live in fear again; rather, the Spirit you received brought about your adoption to sonship.[f] And by him we cry, “Abba,[g] Father.”
Yeshua's adopted daughters and sons are of G-d the Father as they embody and live the fruit of the Spirit in their lives with their eyes affixed to His Word and on the Son - Romans 8:23, "23 Not only so, but we ourselves, who have the firstfruits of the Spirit, groan inwardly as we wait eagerly for our adoption to sonship, the redemption of our bodies."
Additionally, those who G-d the Father predestined (the elect and remnant) shine His light as they seek to live in Yeshua and in doing so demonstrate that they heard His voice and are justified in Him, and will be glorified after they shed their sinful physical body upon death - Romans 8:28-30, "28 And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who[i] have been called according to his purpose. 29 For those God foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brothers and sisters. 30 And those he predestined, he also called; those he called, he also justified; those he justified, he also glorified."
Finally, G-d the Father will glorify the predestined elect (and remnant) which will demonstrate that Yeshua will not lose any of the saints whom G-d the Father gave the G-d the Son. - "38 For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons,[k] neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, 39 neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord."
Oh, what a blessed assurance for those who continually ask, seek, and knock on His door and run the race to the very end with their eyes, hearts, minds, and spirits affixed to the cross and Yeshua's eyes while renewing their spirit every day through the Holy Spirit.

Thanks for good interview!!!
Jesus Christ is King!
I feel like I’m in a room w a couple of my uncles having a great conversation and I’m just listening in..
I like the point about doing what pleases God or not. Do we want to do what pleases God as a nation or not ? That question perfectly frames the debate, and of course I say we should have laws that pleases God as a nation.
You cannot legislate pleasing God. Enforcing laws forcefully won't make a state godly. Instead, lead people to Christ through words, deeds, and compassion, rather than fixating on gaining power in a secular government system unrelated to Christianity.
@@sifx.z1524 The thing is, both OP and you can be right. You can't force people to have faith by law, but you can legislate in a way that pleases God. It's a question of what ought to be illegal.
For example, God hates murder and rape, and it would be just for a Christian people to condemn those things and create laws against them as a society. Just because a law against murder won't make a person godly, it can stop a person from otherwise harmful behavior and remove those who don't think the law ought to apply to them. It is a form of loving one's neighbor to desire just laws and just punishments.
If we can agree on that much, then it is a question of how we know what laws and punishments are just. As a Christian, I think God has something to say about it in Scripture what we should study and seek to apply. But if we reject God's example of civil law, what do we do? Enforce whatever seems right in our own eyes as if we are God, knowing good and evil?
@@oracleoftroy I get what you're saying, but it's best if church and state stay totally separate. Think about it: God judges us by our hearts, not by the laws we make. You speak of the 6th Commandment that our laws can handle, but they can't cover the first 5! It's better to please God by what's in our hearts than what we have enacted as laws on paper.
@@sifx.z1524 I think when we study scripture, we see that God sets up two spheres of government, one of civil government run by the city elders and appointed regional leaders and the high judge, and one of the church run by the Levites. However, _total_ separation doesn't seem to be the case. The church has a role in speaking to the evils of civil government and calling them to repent and do as God commands, and the civil government has a duty to protect the church. But the church is not the state and the state is not the church.
Moreover, not all sins are crimes. Take murder. God lays out civil cases that result in civil penalties for murder. But Jesus also calls hate murder, yet we see no civil punishment.
I think if one would do a proper study of scripture and the law, much of these kind of objections against God's law simply go away as scripture doesn't support it. In fact, the way to fight that kind of abuse is to go to scripture and advocate for what God has said rather than run away from scripture and put in place people who hate God and do what is right in their own eyes.
@@sifx.z1524 I have stated that we should legislate according to the example set forward by God's example of just civil law. I think God already gives an example of separating church and state: he has different offices for civil rulers (town elders and the high judge, later the king to rule civil matters, the Levitical priesthood and the high priest and prophets to rule in church matters). The church had a role to call rulers to rule in godly ways and enforce godly laws, but they were not in charge of civil matters. Likewise, the state had a role in protecting and supporting the function of the church, but were not in charge of actually doing the day to day governance and services provided by the church.
Are you saying even more than this when you say church and state should be *totally* separate? What does that entail? Christians shouldn't vote or seek office? If a person in civil power becomes a Christian, they should resign immediately? Or should Christians deliberately vote in a way that goes against Christian values and vote as it pleases atheists and Muslims and any other religious viewpoint to keep God's ideas of just laws as far from the civil realm as possible?
And the last bit confuses me. Scripture speaks of our fruit revealing our heart. But you seem to say the Christian's fruit should be to seek injustice in society because it is better to be a Christian in the heart and not live like it in the voting booth or in executing justice. Was Nahum wrong to confront David or John the Baptist to confront Herod? Was it wrong for Jesus to support his cousin and decry Herod? Or Paul to confront Felix and Agrippa the way he did?
The thing is, scripture (both old and new testament) is full of examples of the church calling kings and others in power to repent and govern as God would have them govern. I don't see how we can separate this God given role from the church. But that is very different from merging the church with the state. The church should govern ecclesial matters and the state civil matters.

Around 46:00 I love how voddie calms the fears of persecution. The enemies of Christ are weaker and less violent now than in the past. Christians shouldn't get complacent but it's not the main concern the church faces. The devil is sly and sneaky. He is weakening the Church from the inside out.
I look forward to watching this when I am able. Whoa, now that's what I call a crossover!
Whatever brand it is within Christendom…it’s beautiful
The last question was the best one for that video to end on, especially with the resources they listed and with Voddie's last comments.
A Marxist ideal lived out of “free sex” was a very important point that Doug highlighted.
How you get a Viking/Motorcycle Gang type of society versus men submitted to the sexual cycle of females and producing a healthy society 👌🏻👏🏻
Great chanel! GOD BLESS YOU!🙏
I love Voddie Baucham!
Love these two Godly men ❤
Thank you for sharing this. I’m reading through Jesus and the Powers which definitely recommends “just a seat at the table.”
Great interview
I really wish...that your content was two decibels louder. I often listen with earbuds at work where it's very loud and I only catch about 50% of what's being said, so even though this is totally my problem, if you could please just crank it up a notch just for me that would be great, thank you!
I needed to hear this today, because I would have thought American was just void of God.. So glad to hear your perspective
Are you from America? God is strong and alive here. It's just not what's broadcast to the world. 100s of millions of people are against what's going on in our country
@@michaelkendall1263 I've been on the dark side of life for 13 years away from God. Just really coming back.

“History will record with the greatest astonishment that those who had the most to lose did the least to prevent it happening.”
“Where is this other place you are trying to emulate?”……. GREAT QUESTION! Where is the other nation you perceive as so much better, America? Which one is it exactly?
China, officially atheist.
America 125 years ago.
@@EverEverOn
The revolutionaries want America to be one way and the counter-revolutionaries want America to be another way.
@@jakebredthauer5100 not disagreeing. Nobody wants the America of today. Leftists want their utopia, elitist establishment want China-esque. The rest of us, a previous version of America, like 125yrs ago (for me).
We shouldn't wait for things to come crashing down to organize.
Reform not revolt!
this was very very good i enjoyed every minute thank you
Ever wonder where all the names came from? What a great conversation between 2 men. Thank you
For black Americans being WOKE simply means understanding what's going on around you it also means being educated 🤔🤷🏽🤯😱🫣
25:24 wow! One of the most powerful points ever made 👏👏👏
Really interesting !
If these two men talk eschatology, then I’m done for!!!! Please consider.
Tiff Shuttlesworth is superior to them both on eschatology. Sorry Voddie but being a post milliniest? Your denial of the rapture? Pastor Tiff has 50 yrs of eschatology under his belt and you don't hold a candle. Eschatology is not your area of expertise.
I think you can be a cultural Christian ie want to live in a place founded on Christian principles but salvation is by faith in Jesus Christ through grace and Christianity can only be spread by evangelism, not by force of law or military.
Founders ministries has a good video on this topic recently and while your first half is correct the second is not.
A good example is that of the godly kings of Judah who forcefully tore down the asherah, the high places, unalived those who worshiped there. A "strong" man approach works to reset culture to a godly one. The relationship with Christ is individual, but the framework for that to happen and perpetuate can be external through a strong man approach.
Works in reverse too, and our enemy uses it well.
@@EverEverOn I assume you believe we are still under Mosaic Covenant and not a new Covenant of the Gospel of Jesus Christ...
@@JJFrance Ah yes the disingenuous strawman. Whenever I see someone write about an individual relationship with Christ, my first thought is...still holds to the old covenant . Lol.
@@EverEverOn you literally just used the Old Covenant. There is no "strong man approach", and Christian nationalism, if it wasn't obvious enough, but take a closer look at the word itself and Christian theology. It's the antichrist system. It's no surprise, though. Having dipped my feet in both, I can tell you that we have some REALLY BAD ACTORS (both in its actual meaning and as well as literal bad actors cause this whole ruse is obvious to me now) on the Orthodox Christian side of TH-cam and abroad pushing for the exact same thing. It's not a coincidence at all. I'm starting to think, as a Slav myself, that at the very least, Russian slavs are the Tribe of Dan from which the antichrist will come. I'm sure most people know that theory by now, having to do with the Danube, D(a)nieper etc. I haven't actually studied the etymology of either name and realize this honestly will remain a shot in the dark until whenever it is that we will know who the tribes are, but I am basing my hunch on vastly different reasons. So, anything else just adds.
No country is Christian and you can bet your bottom dollar that not a single one truly will be, let alone multiple ones, in the likened days of Noah and actually far worse. As it is written that it will be worse and that the Earth will not have seen that amount evil in its entire existence, and never shall it be again when the New Earth and New Jerusalem are created. Entropy is as scientific a term as it is biblical. There will be no revival. There will be a great falling away. There will be no "we have to get organized because stupid is unsustainable" as Wilson said in this. Unsustainable? Lucky... I don't know what world or Gospel you are in, but when the eschaton describes an Earth that is worse than the days of Noah and we are trying to stop it with "Christian Nationalism" are we not fighting against prophecy? Are we not doing what Peter did when Christ told him "Get behind me, Satan."? Oh Jesus No! We have to fix this up right away there's no way we can let the world go down to degeneracy and- ..... oh... wait. Oops.
I am listening to what you both are saying, but distracted by what your drinking on the table, is it alcohol? Forgive me if I'm wrong.
You are wrong to be bothered by it yes
What if it is? Does not our Holy Bible tells us “All Things In Moderation”? I don’t understand the purpose of your question.
- Does Baucham have a dedicated channel or podcast? I've looked for a place to listen to his collected sermons, or something like that, but I've just had to hunt and find one here and one there.
He doesn't. The man's extremely busy.
Grace Family Baptist Church is the channel name.
There are channels under his name but they are people impersonating him.
Sermon Audio and Canon Press.
@@ReallyReformed97. That’s what I was going to say. I believe this was his church before he moved to Zambia. They have many sermons.
All I can say is... thanks to the both of you. Beautiful talk.
Doug is free to drink alcohol, including hard liquor. However, I question his judgment and wisdom to publicly consume hard liquor in front of an unknown and mixed public audience during a discussion on Biblical values vs worldly values. What was the purpose of that and how does he think that makes him more manly? I noticed Voddie didn’t touch his glass.
More manly? What?
@@raskolnikov6443 Follow me. If he thinks that by publicly drinking hard liquor is a sign of his masculinity, then the reasoning would follow if he does not drink hard liquor publicly, he is displaying or possessing less masculinity. I don't know any public conservative Christian leader that would drink alcohol, let alone hard liquor publicly or on a video posted to TH-cam for millions around the world to see. Maybe you can respond to that point since that is the more serious concern, his poor judgment.
I was wondering the same thing. Gives me pause.
can you not drink alcohol as a reformed baptist?
I was shocked to see that. Voddie likely wasn't expecting that, and no surprise he didn't indulge.
Why do we Christian always have to compare with ungodly people to set a standard? This is more like advocating for a political gain. Let’s make all nations Christian and problem solved. The church should just continue preaching the gospel and don’t worry about what the nations do.
Except God's word tells us otherwise. In the great commission Jesus tells us to "teach the nations to obey all that I ha e commanded."
@@NicholasRyan0723 absolutely not saying not to preach the gospel to all nations but nowadays we Christians feel that we need to hear that certain nation is now a Christian nation. That’s my argument. And again, real Christians shouldn’t be taking the position that having politicians calling themselves Christians will solve everything and unfortunately the more we keep playing politics in the church, the more we’re losing. Jesus will not lose but our job as the scripture says, we’re not doing it.
The church should be the conscience of the government. We are to occupy until he comes. It’s harmful to allow evil people to run amuck in government or anywhere else. You’re harming your neighbors by abdicating your responsibility to participate in all levels of society and point to Jesus. Yes, share the gospel. We can walk and chew gum.
Let’s goooooo
Great will be your reward in heaven!!
I would still like a response, from one of them, for why they felt it necessary to have hard alcohol present during their discussion.
It does seem unnecessary...if they were at each other's homes...and both brothers are of equal maturity...that's one thing...but those of us who have struggled with alcohol addiction...it again..in my opinion...is an unnecessary accessory to this conversation....
German viewpoint: only very few countries in the whole world are blessed to survive as Christian countries in this century, definitely NOT Europe.
Love this from the German diaspora, God bless you two, America and Zambia.
good discussion
My wife’s mom doesn’t like Doug Wilson. Her criticisms are vague and sketchy. “He’s weird”. “I know someone who….”
But nothing specific, just smoke.
The more I listen to him he just sounds very reasonable.
Two of my favorite dude men on the planet. There's more gospel faithfulness in those 2 chairs than in a thousand pulpits.
You could not be more blind, lost, deceived, unsaved, and steeped in ignorance. Repent!
It is interesting to me how many people in the comments are so focused on casting judgment on these two men before they give a compliment of anything they spoke of. My only hope is that most of the negative comments are from young Christians and not so-called mature Christians. If so, I can understand why our church has such issues. God, please forgive us for judging others instead of praying for them. It shows where we lack in our faith and our walk with God. We must do better if we decide to follow Christ!
Add Minnesota to the California EXIT...My home state, and I left it, and many are leaving because of Walz's policies...Walz hates Christianity, proves it by his policies...
I looked at my white undershirt and realized I failed my "whiteness" test. 😂😊😅 I've never seen anyone have white or black skin color. I'm not "white" and my race is human. Acts 17:26
Regarding the brother at *55:16* the only thing I can think of is *Romans 10:13;* _For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved._
Although the Bible does not say one way or another, since babies (whether born or unborn) are incapable of even knowing that they have a need to call upon the name of the Lord, I believe the blood of Jesus covers them because they had not yet committed any sins, though they are born with a sin nature.
"It's a sort of uncomfortable truth", "Whether you like it or not, it's my job to declare it", "You were silent when they were lying to me; how'd you let me do this to myself?", "We're defining love wrong", "There's a secular idol that we have to appeal to standards that are sort of in the air and can't quote Moses or Jesus..."
Men, if you're going to keep poking me like that, I declare to you this - you must understand polygyny is part of God's design for us. Citations: Genesis 25:1-6+Genesis 26:2-5, 2 Samuel 12:7-8, Isaiah 4:1-2, Jeremiah 3, Matthew 25:1-13. You must understand this, because this is part of God's design. You must understand this, because this is part of God's kingdom, and so if you stand against this, you are dividing God's kingdom against itself, for I know that you are part of it too.
Really? Where does this get fleshed out?
@@loganross1861 Polygyny? My citations are the passages that address it most directly. Which isn't very directly, which is suspicious in itself. I'm not one of those people who believes it impossible that some reprobate redacted parts of it.
So I’d like to know how students can afford to go to the college because maybe the Holy Spirit wants me to figure out how to get involved and helping in that area what’s the gist of any of that? Let me know, before my dad left for heaven He had a lot to do with growing Liberia’s children so maybe that’s something I should be doing in Zambia
+canonpress *Christian nationalism is the subject of exceptional debate.* Christians are supposed to be Subjects o' the Sovereign LORD of Gods first, citizens of the mission field second.
*Addition:* Sha'ul Ben Azar-Yahu of Tarsus, Province of Asia, Roman Empire, explained the fundamentals of faith in his Epistle to the Assemblies o' the Called Out in the Prefecture of Galatia: "For do I seek to promote men, or GOD? Yet if I pleased men, I wouldn't be the Christ's Servant." (Galatians 1.10)
Second doesn't mean "not at all"
No one disagrees with that
Philippians 3:20-21 NIV
20 But our citizenship is in heaven. And we eagerly await a Savior from there, the Lord Jesus Christ, [21] 21 who, by the power that enables him to bring everything under his control, will transform our lowly bodies so that they will be like his glorious body.
Yaweh is the God of all nations and peoples, He gave his son for all people because he loved the world. America is is just one nation among many and for people to assume that we are God's most loved nation is just pure ethnocentrism
Great to listen to... confirms Romans, especially chapter 1 verse 32... go read it and weigh yourself !
I have my volume at max and I'm in a quiet room and yet I struggle to hear the dialogue. It isn't my ears. Could someone at Canon Press check the audio settings and repost? I'd rather have to turn down the volume than have to read the closed caption.
@@daniel.s8126 Thanks, but I would not have made the comment if it was fine on my side. The audio can easily be boosted in the software the video was created in. Daniel, are you in charge of the production or just a random commenter trolling the comments?
Hearing two Godly men have a conversation about the ridiculous culture we live in is a breath of fresh air. God bless you gentlemen
Great conversation, but the real question is…what kind of whiskey (bourbon? Scotch? Ice tea?) are they drinking?
Happy Father’s Day 🎉
I love Voddie and Doug
Trust the Lord and follow the Bible!
May I suggest to incorporate or join forces with Jordan Peterson school.. 🎉❤
Dang! I don't live far from Moscow. Of I knew this was happening I would have been there.
And all of the paedobaptists cried in the beginning when their beloved Pastor Wilson affirmed reformed baptists in being “confessionally reformed.” 😊
😆👍👍
The majority of paedobaptists don’t believe Wilson is “confessionally reformed” since he supports Federal Vision theology which has been ruled heresy by multiple conservative Presbyterian denominations. And his paedocommunion advocacy further puts him outside the bounds of the historic reformed confessions.
Born again, Bible believing Christian here. Everything else revolves around that. I wear no other titles.
You have a drivers license? Social Security Number? Home Address?
All things are lawful, but not essential. As christians we don't want to be a stumbling block, a bad witness. If, Im wrong, correct me.
LOVE trumps LIBERTY. That’s the easiest way to say what the Bible teaches about being a stumbling block to others with our choices.
It’s one thing to have a drink, it’s a completely different thing to flaunt this liberty for thousands to see. Romans 14:15.
Given the rather hateful legalism of many teetotalers over the last century or so, I think it is a very loving thing to model Christian self control. Too many only know how to binge or abstain and have no example to look to for properly exercising Christian liberty. I hope more good Christian men would do this and demonstrate that its the legalists who try to turn love into a jail who are in fact not following God and making a law unto themselves.
@redeemedzoomer6053 36:15 Doug's might be talking about you there
At 20:23, Doug Wilson says that government decisions will either please God or not please God, but there is nothing that the unsaved can do to please God. It is only the saved that can please God.
Aren't both these guys Calvinists? Wouldn't that mean that all politics are determined by God?
... a more extensive answer to bro's question at (55:02)
God was not a sadistic, damnation-loving monster in election and reprobation to condemn even those who he predestined to never be able to know and desire morally with a sufficient enough capacity to commit active sin. They cannot be reprobate because all the reprobate, whom no one can identify in advance before the judgment, are accountable for their chosen sin not God's rejection of them beforehand, and they prove worthy of their eternal sentence by their conscious, preferred rebellion of unrepentance and faith during their lifetime, which is why God's all-encompassing sovereignty doesn't make his final judgment unjust.
We must be elect before creation to be a recipient of new birth and then repentance and faith so that we will be saved, yet no one who is not elect will be held accountable where they did not commit any volitional sin from their corrupt heart's desire.
So even though infants and severely disabled people do inherit a sin nature from Adam, when it comes to them, Jesus bore their sin nature on the cross just like the rest of God's elect people so that we would be born again, freed from the dominion of the sin nature over us, and be given repentance and faith after being exposed to the Gospel of Jesus.
Therefore, infants, children who die before the point of sufficient mental and moral consciousness, and severely disabled people are given new bodies and sensibilities similar to when Adam was created in an adult mature state, and then they are graciously given faith in Jesus when they see his glory uninhibited in Heaven since Jesus has defeated sin, the grave, and the devil on their behalf and they couldn't possibly possess the faculties required for accountability during their short / too severly impaired life.
Who is saved and who isn't saved by sovereign election is all God's right, yet God did not make anyone reprobate who will be able to stand before him at the judgment and say they don't deserve judgment because they never actually chose to commit sin. That would be unjust. Therefore, those who do not consciously, willfully, and actively commit sin due to the lack of the sufficient knowledge and capacity for moral preference cannot be judged on that basis and must be granted saving grace, which God is more inclined to and most glorified in, btw.
Also, God does not rejoice in reprobation but rather in the maximal gratitude, awe, and praise that will be given him from the saints at our realization of the great love of God in choosing us for adoption and salvation when he could've rejected us like those who are reprobate who were not inherently worse than us or more deserving than us of damnation because we were just as sinful and unresponsive to grace and righteousness till God made us born again by his own will.
God ordained all evil things solely for the glory he gets from displaying his attributes of mercy, grace, justice, faithfulness, wisdom, power, and love, etc, in response to the evil which he never delights in either at his planning stage before creation or as it is happening within time, and he will always judge and ultimately replace all evil with blessedness for the benefit of his beloved.
4:35 thank you.
Yes sir, you be right bout everything! Voodie please ! Project 2025 !
Two men who claim to speak for Jesus yet don't feel any need to directly draw any of these political strategies out of His Word.
But I am only 30 minutes in, if they get to an exposition of Scripture later please timestamp it below. I would like to be wrong.
Wilson: Tribalism breeds war and globalism breeds tyranny.
Then proceeds to defend nationalism which has bred both war and tyranny countless times.
This incoherence is what happens when you don't get your ideas from a faithful exposition of the Word.
@@mriconoclast13 nationalism can easily turn into globalism if the ideology is trying to bring a global righteousness to fight the wicked. The antichrist will be a false righteous individual that will be so deceiving that even the very elect could be deceived. The first half of the antichrist reign will be a false righteousness reign. He will mimick the Christ, this is how he could use nationalism to bring an authoritarian regime. Dark ages 2.0 along with crusades. Plausible IMO.
The world is crying for a Saviour. Jesus is the only one who comes to bring true righteousness. How can we be discerning so that Satan doesn’t give Christians deception in these last days??
In the 30s Nationalism was centralism..it took power from provincial government..Anti Nationalist was "decentralism": Today there is a movement towards Globalism.. So today, Nationalism is decentralism....I am a decentralist.., yes a Nationalist..
Yeah the alcohol is a distraction and stumbling block for many Christians. I dont drink at all and was surprised voodie bacham would flaunt this. Praying it dont lead others astray. Also i felt they didnt do a good job explaining christian nationalism oh well.
