Let’s talk boxing on The Kenny & JT Show with area analyst and promoter Antonio Castro. We discuss the outrageous events surrounding Jake Paul’s knockout of ex-UFC fighter Ben Askren. Are Paul’s antics good for the sport? Can UFC fighters transition to boxing? And what is the state of boxing these days?
"To know that we are secure in Christ is a great assurance to live in this world today. "... but God shows his love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. Since, therefore, we have now been justified by his blood, much more shall we be saved by him from the wrath of God. For if while we were enemies we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, now that we are reconciled, shall we be saved by his life." Romans 5:8-10 * What are the dispensations? Are Paul's writings only for the Gentiles? * What do you say to someone who says, "I have to get right with God"?
Discussions of Romans 13 have arisen significantly considering the vast manifestations of executive orders that have been offered during the prevalence of COVID-19. I dare suggest that Romans 13, along with a few other passages and verses of Scripture, is one of the most misused scriptures in the entire biblical canon. Submission to authorities is vital to godliness; yet, the scope of Romans 13 is perhaps not what many understand. In the time Paul wrote his letter to the Romans, government was corrupt and even persecuted Christians. Paul, however, instructs believers to submit or be subject to the governing authorities. The Greek word for “be subject” is hupotasso, which literally means to place or rank under. The term implies an intentional effort. It is similar to what Paul commands believers in Philippians 2: to have the same mind as Christ Jesus, namely a mind of humility considering others better (Phil 2:5). These instructions do not mean that one certainly is less than another person but that Christians are to act as if that is the case, as Jesus did in his earthly ministry; no greater example of humility may be found except that of Christ Jesus. To be subject to the authorities then is to consider the governing bodies God ordained to be higher in rank. Understanding that being subject to the authorities is an explicit instruction given to God’s people, Romans 13 must be interpreted. Are Paul’s instructions part of a blanket command to blindly obey the governing authorities, or is the scope narrower? To answer this question, there are four primary elements to consider. I will examine these elements here and then determine the scope of Romans 13.

This is our very first Question and Response episode and we had a blast doing it! Thank you to everyone who submitted questions. In this episode we fielded questions on the Holy Spirit. What is the difference between spirit and soul in the Bible? How do the New Testament authors portray the Holy Spirit in relation to Greek spiritual ideas? Are Paul's list of spiritual gifts in the New Testament comprehensive, just examples, or something else? What are some of the different interpretations and ideas of the 1 Corinthians passages on the Holy Spirit and Paul's writing saying all should desire spiritual gifts? Why did the Holy Spirit come at Pentecost? And what exactly did Pentecost and associating feast mean to the Jewish people? How do we know who has the Holy Spirit and who doesn't? How do you hear from God through the Holy Spirit? What are some good resources to learn more about the Holy Spirit? Music Credits: Defender by Rosasharn Music
