Here's a summary of its key points:Relevance of Politics to Christianity: The article posits that politics, understood as the art of structuring society for the common good, is inherently linked to Christian values. It's not just about governance but about how society lives out shared life in accordance with divine principles.Historical and Theological Context: Drawing from Reformed political thought, particularly Johannes Althusius, it highlights that politics has always been part of human organization aimed at establishing social life in a manner reflective of God's order.The Church's Role: The church is seen as having not only the right but also the duty to address political issues because these issues concern justice, neighborly love, and the good life, which are central to Christian teaching. Ignoring these would be failing in the church's mission to be fully alive in all societal aspects.Critique of Political Neutrality: The text critiques the idea of the church floating above earthly affairs, suggesting that such a stance might lead to societal moral decline. It points out that avoiding political issues can be seen as neglecting the church's responsibility towards justice and societal well-being.Engagement Without Partisanship: While advocating for engagement, the article warns against the church becoming a mouthpiece for any political party or ideology. The focus should be on principles derived from scripture rather than party lines or specific legislation details.Cultural Mandate and the Church's Mission: The church's mission is not just spiritual but also involves engaging with the world in ways that reflect God's kingdom, which includes speaking into the political domain without necessarily endorsing particular policies or parties.Implications for Church and Society: If the church fails to engage with politics, societies might continue a downward moral spiral. The article implies a call to a more active, principled, yet non-partisan engagement with political life, where the church acts as a moral guide rather than a political actor.This article essentially calls for a balanced approach where the church engages with politics not for power or to dictate specific policies but to influence society towards justice, righteousness, and the common good, reflecting Christian values in the political sphere.Support the showSign up for the Patreon - https://www.patreon.com/chasedavisFollow Full Proof Theology on Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/fullprooftheology/Follow Full Proof Theology on Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/fullprooftheology/

Jacob argues that the Sabbath was a sign of the Mosaic Covenant and that Christ fulfilled the Mosaic Covenant, establishing a new covenant with a new covenant sign, the Lord's Supper. He believes that Christians partake in the Sabbath by spiritually resting in Christ, not by observing a physical day of rest. Ben argues that the Sabbath command is rooted in natural law and corresponds to man's nature as a physical and spiritual being. He believes that keeping the Sabbath in the New Covenant requires both a spiritual and physical resting unto worship. He also argues that the Sabbath command has a positive moral aspect and that the change of the day from the seventh to the first is rooted in Hebrews 4. The distinction between the ceremonial and moral aspects of the Sabbath command is a point of contention between them. The conversation explores the different perspectives on the observance of the Sabbath and the Lord's Day. Ben Castle argues that the Sabbath commandment is moral and should be observed on the first day of the week, while Jacob Glass believes that the Sabbath is a sign of the old covenant and is not binding on Christians. They discuss the moral nature of the Sabbath, the transfer from the seventh day to the first day, and the distinction between the Sabbath and the Lord's Day. They also address the issue of tradition and the importance of gathering with the church on the Lord's Day.Support the showSign up for the Patreon - https://www.patreon.com/chasedavisFollow Full Proof Theology on Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/fullprooftheology/Follow Full Proof Theology on Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/fullprooftheology/

They also explore the role of National Review and other conservative publications in shaping the conservative movement. The conversation touches on the compromises made by conservatives during the civil rights movement and the rise of neoconservatism in the Republican Party. The conversation explores the history and influence of neoconservatism, highlighting its origins in the split between nationalist and internationalist communists. The internationalist Marxists, aligned with Trotsky, aimed for a world revolution to establish communism globally. As the Soviet Union faltered, many ex-Trotskyites became advocates of internationalist democracy, promoting democracy and human rights as the means to make the world a better place. The neoconservatives, a small group of power brokers, infused this internationalist mindset with anti-Sovietism and strategically took over the conservative movement. They controlled the framing and narratives, influencing policy and staffing the government.TakeawaysConservatism in America has its roots in the 18th century and was influenced by figures like Edmund Burke.The progressive era and the New Deal brought about significant changes in the American political order, leading to the emergence of the conservative movement.National Review played a crucial role in shaping the conservative movement, with figures like Bill Buckley leading the way.Conservatives made compromises during the civil rights movement to maintain unity in the face of totalitarianism.Neoconservatism emerged as disillusioned leftists left the Democratic Party and joined the Republican Party.

The conversation also highlights the need for Christians to engage in cultural and political spheres rather than retreating from them. Overall, it encourages open dialogue while cautioning against resentment and bigotry.TakeawaysUnderstanding the relationship between Christians and Jews is important in addressing issues of anti-Semitism.Different views on supersessionism exist, ranging from hard supersessionism to soft supersessionism.Old Testament figures were saved by looking forward in faith to Christ, while Christians are saved by looking back to Christ.Eschatological positions like postmillennialism and amillennialism have different perspectives on the course of human history.Religious texts, such as the Talmud, should be approached with discernment, recognizing both positive and negative aspects.Anti-Semitism is the notion that Jews are uniquely malevolent, but it is important to acknowledge the mixed bag nature of Jewish contributions throughout history.Paul's strategy in Romans involves Gentiles living under God's blessings, which can provoke Jews to envy and lead to their salvation. The relationship between Christians and Jews has been complex throughout history, with instances of both persecution and protection.Legitimate criticism of Israel's actions or policies is not inherently anti-Semitic, but it is important to distinguish between criticism and unfounded accusations.Ethno-religious loyalty and influence in various industries should be evaluated on an individual basis rather than making sweeping generalizations.Engaging in fair and honest discussions about sensitive topics is crucial, but it is equally important to avoid resentment and bigotry.Christians should actively participate in cultural and political spheres rather than retreating, allowing for meaningful dialogue and understanding.Support the showSign up for the Patreon - https://www.patreon.com/chasedavisFollow Full Proof Theology on Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/fullprooftheology/Follow Full Proof Theology on Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/fullprooftheology/
