On this episode, Autumn Sword, the Satanic Skeptic, argues that groomer accusations against LGBTQ+ people represent what author Robert D. Hicks called "civil blasphemy" and draws a direct parallel between the way such accusations are being weaponized to criminally prosecute people in the name of protecting children, and law enforcement's crusade against satanic cults during the Satanic Panic.

Main Idea: “Don't make Jesus out to be a servant of sin!”1. How misrepresenting the saving work of Christ makes Him out to be a servant of sin.2. How misrepresenting the holy teaching of Christ makes Him out to be a servant of sin.

Today, Pastor Al Dagel brings the issue of Jesus' claim to be God's Son to the forefront, using the evidence found in God's Word.

After God gave these pictures that relate to the importance of making God and His Word known, the text switches to a narrative. A man who had a Israelite mother, but a Gentile father, blasphemed and cursed the name of God during a fight. The Israelites recognized that he was in serious sin, so they put him in custody while they waited to hear from God what they should do. Notice how much greater and proper their fear of God was that they would at least know that he needs to be punished. Many professed Christian churches wouldn't think of church discipline for someone who blasphemed the name of God in a fight. At the same time, they knew if you cursed father or mother it was worthy of death, so how much more is it worthy of death if you do it to God. God is instructing them in the proper use of the law, how to take the laws that they were given and apply them to other situations, so God told them to take him outside the camp and stone him. The tendency of the unbelievers is always to say that God is not serious about the level of punishment that He will inflict, so we don't want laws that are as severe as God's laws. God is a jealous and just God, so He can judge with eternal torture. We need to understand how serious sin is and the significance of the forgiveness through Jesus Christ.

Scripture Reflection for May 5, 2025: They Accuse Us of Blasphemy (Recorded 2024) by Priests for Life

Many believers have suffered (in vain), over the potential that they have done so. The blasphemy against the Holy Ghost—the unforgivable sin—is the ongoing hardening of the heart against the Holy Ghost who is trying to lead to repentance of sin and to believe in Jesus Christ. It is an issue of the heart that manifests in words. Blasphemy in Aramiac means "provocation," and in Greek, it means to "speak evil of or to rail on." Jesus said, "Whosoever speaketh a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him: but whosoever speaketh against the Holy Ghost, it shall not be forgiven him, neither in this world, neither in the world to come."No one can know who it is that has blasphemed the Holy Ghost but only the Holy Ghost Himself. We are not clear so much about what exactly it is except it is something a person says from their hearts that crosses the Holy Ghost. We have to be careful not to think we know. We can never know. There are people in this world that are of the worst kind. One's that people would never pray for. Those who live to make other lives miserable and are never sorry and are full of sin. We cannot consign them to the state of eternal unforgiveness only to believing prayers. Jesus saves to the uttermost and as long as we are alive, moreover, as Christ lives, only He can save them. Leave them to the Lord. Walk on in love...You will be surprised who you will see in eternity.“We will have all eternity to celebrate our victories, but only a few short hours to win them.”― Amy Carmichael

This is part 2 of a 7 part series. To watch the whole series go here.There is no institution in history that clearly fulfills the warnings of antichrist found in Daniel, John, Paul and the gospels of Matthew or Luke than the Roman Papacy. This power has a long and sordid history of persecuting God's people, waging war against God's word and blaspheming God on the highest level — all while disguising itself and its actions as the will of God. Today we will shine a bright light on this power so that you are not deceived when it resurrects to be marveled after. This is a public episode.

Is Mike Adams from Natural News Prompting Noahide Laws? Renown self-proclaimed pastor / truther Mike Adams from Natural News / Brighteon posted pure blasphemy from the pit of hell. He made four key points. 1. You don't need Jesus to go to heaven. 2. There is no rapture. 3. Jesus is not coming back. 4. There is a psyop around the Bible being incomplete. Is Mike Adams Biblically ignorant (Baby Christian but an “Ordained Pastor”), a shill, or compromised for his theology is priming Noahide Laws. I do agree with one thing he said, read your Bible and let nobody fool you. We review his post and counter / rebuke it with scripture and historical facts.

What happens when a nation forgets its spiritual foundations? In this thought-provoking exploration of America's Christian heritage, Jesse Cope connects seemingly disparate current events—from China's role in the fentanyl crisis to universities' embrace of DEI policies—to reveal a common thread: our collective unwillingness to acknowledge ideologies fundamentally opposed to our founding principles.The heart of this episode centers on an illuminating examination of the 1811 New York Supreme Court case "People v. Ruggles." Through Chief Justice Kent's powerful opinion, we discover how early American jurisprudence understood religious freedom in a way dramatically different from today's interpretations. Kent unequivocally declared America "a Christian people" whose morality was "deeply engrafted upon Christianity," distinguishing the true faith from what he called "imposters." This historical perspective challenges our modern assumption that the First Amendment requires treating all religions equally.Cope brilliantly articulates that the First Amendment was never intended to "separate God from the state" but rather to prevent the government from favoring particular denominations—a crucial distinction lost in contemporary discourse. Drawing from James Chapter 4, he confronts listeners with a fundamental choice between friendship with the world and friendship with God, warning that pursuit of the former inevitably leads to conflict with divine principles.For anyone concerned about America's spiritual direction, this episode offers both sobering analysis and hopeful perspective. As Calvin Coolidge once observed, "The foundations of our society and our government rest so much on the teachings of the Bible that it would be difficult to support them if faith in these teachings would cease." Have you made God your checkbox or your compass? The answer to this question might determine not just your personal faith journey but our collective future as a nation.Support the showThe American Soul Podcasthttps://www.buzzsprout.com/1791934/subscribe

What happens when a society abandons its moral foundation? In this thought-provoking exploration of faith, speech, and civil order, we journey through James 3 to understand the devastating power of our words and the necessity of taming our tongues. "The tongue is a fire," Scripture warns—capable of burning down relationships, communities, and even nations when left unchecked.Drawing from the fascinating 1811 New York Supreme Court case People v. Ruggles, we examine how America's founders viewed Christianity not merely as a personal belief system but as the essential moral framework for maintaining civil society. Chief Justice Kent's opinion that "whatever strikes at the root of Christianity tends manifestly to the dissolution of civil government" serves as a prophetic warning for our current cultural moment.Have we conducted a dangerous experiment by removing Christian principles from public life? Look around at the state of our marriages, families, communities, schools, and institutions. The correlation between our rejection of biblical morality and societal breakdown becomes increasingly difficult to ignore. This isn't about imposing a particular denomination—it's about recognizing that certain fundamental principles are necessary for maintaining order and protecting freedoms.Prayer doesn't require theological complexity or fancy language. God simply wants us to talk to Him as a good father wants to hear from his children. Thank Him for something, ask forgiveness for shortcomings, and pray for those around you. These simple actions connect us to the source of wisdom that can heal our divided hearts and troubled nation.Take a moment today to consider how your words affect those around you. Are you bringing healing or division? Building up or tearing down? The health of our relationships, communities, and country might depend on your answer.Support the showThe American Soul Podcasthttps://www.buzzsprout.com/1791934/subscribe

Wednesday, 2 April 2025   And at once some of the scribes said within themselves, “This Man blasphemes!”   “And, you behold! Some of the scribes, they said to themselves, ‘This, He blasphemes'” (CG).   In the previous verse, Jesus saw the faith of those who brought the paralytic who was lying on a bed. Because of how they came to Him, He said, “You embolden child! Your sins, they are forgiven you.” Now, Matthew continues with, “And, you behold! Some of the scribes.”   Luke provides the background for these words –   “Now it happened on a certain day, as He was teaching, that there were Pharisees and teachers of the law sitting by, who had come out of every town of Galilee, Judea, and Jerusalem.” Luke 5:17   These men had heard about Jesus and had come to see what was going on. Whether those from Jerusalem and Judea knew of Him from His time there, or whether word had come about Him and they went to see Him isn't known, but they were clearly there with the intent of ascertaining what He was doing. Having heard Jesus' words to the man, “they said to themselves.”   One might question if this means they spoke to one another or if they spoke in their minds to themselves. The answer is found in Mark and Luke. Mark said they were “reasoning in their hearts,” something Jesus confirmed by asking, “Why do you reason about these things in your hearts?” (Mark 2:8). Luke confirms this, essentially saying the same things.   This demonstrates a power and ability that is ascribed to God alone, such as –   “I, the Lord, search the heart, I test the mind, Even to give every man according to his ways, According to the fruit of his doings.” Jeremiah 17:10   This sentiment is found several times in the Old Testament. It is a capability only the Lord God possesses. And yet, the way the gospel writers have presented the matter, they confirm that Jesus is fully capable of this. It is a thought later confirmed in Revelation –   “I will kill her children with death, and all the churches shall know that I am He who searches the minds and hearts. And I will give to each one of you according to your works.” Revelation 2:23   Understanding this ability of Jesus, who is God, it next says, “This, He blasphemes.”   Saying “This,” appears to be a contemptuous way of speaking of Jesus. That then leads to the thought of Him blaspheming, which is a new word in Scripture. The Greek is blasphémeó, a verb originally signifying to speak evil of, slander, or revile. In the case of God, however, Bengel rightly states –   “Blasphemy is committed when (1.) things unworthy of God are attributed to Him; (2.) things worthy of God are denied to Him; (3.) when the incommunicable attributes of God are attributed to others.”   Jesus is claiming an ability and a prerogative that belongs to God alone. That is noted, for example in Isaiah 43:25 –   “I, even I, am He who blots out your transgressions for My own sake; And I will not remember your sins.”   It is true that there are times when one person will say to another something like, “Please forgive me of my sin.” However, that is referring to a matter between the two, not the forgiveness of transgressions against God that can only be forgiven by Him. What Jesus is doing is placing Himself between God and the sinner in a manner similar to the role of the priest.   However, a priest in Israel only performed a function that allowed sin to be forgiven according to the law set forth by the Lord. He was not the one who provided the forgiveness, only the means by which it was secured for the person. Jesus is actively saying that He forgives the man of sins against God, something only God can do. Of this, Kubel says the following –   “No passage of the Old Testament affirms that the Messiah himself will forgive sins. Thus Jesus ascribes to himself what even the highest Old Testament prophecies of the Messianic time had reserved to God; e.g. Jeremiah 31:34; Isaiah 43:25.”   This is correct. In Isaiah 53, it notes that Jesus would be the One to bear the sins of the people, but it was not fully understood that this meant both in the forgiving of them actively, such as in this case in Matthew, as well as bearing them in the manner which the animals under the Old covenant were supposed to do, meaning in a substitutionary manner.   Jesus provided both types of forgiveness before God, meaning He is equal to the Father.   Life application: The words of this short verse are filled with hints of the deity of Jesus. He is capable of reading the hearts and minds of the people, something that is ascribed to God in the Old Testament. He holds the approval to forgive sin. Again, it is an authority that belongs to God alone in the Old Testament.   And yet, these things are shown to be capabilities that belong to Jesus in the New. And it is not just during His earthly ministry to Israel that it is so. Rather, since His resurrection, He is the One to judge sin, wield the full power of God – having all authority in heaven and on earth, and He is the One who reads the hearts and minds of the people of the world.   The Bible leaves no doubt as to the nature of Jesus Christ. To deny these fundamental truths concerning Him is to deny what is clearly presented in the word. If the Bible is the word of God, then to deny what it clearly presents concerning Jesus is blasphemy against God.   Lord God, help us to understand the nature of Jesus intimately. May we pursue the knowledge of Him with every fiber of our being. We ask Your help in this because we know that in knowing Him, we will know You. Be with us in our pursuit of the wonderful Lord Jesus! Amen.

Today, we're discussing all things Department of Education — what it is, what it does, and what President Trump's executive order dismantling it means for both the department's own future as well as for you and your family. Secretary Linda McMahon is overseeing the downsizing of the department, but don't worry, school lunches, special education programs, and student loans aren't going anywhere. We also talk about soccer superstar Cristiano Ronaldo waiting for a "click" with his longtime girlfriend, Georgina Rodríguez, before he proposes to her. Never mind that they've been together for more than five years. Of course, this is only a symptom of a larger "forever girlfriend" trend we're seeing, and we don't like it. And lastly, we talk about the season finale of the show "Severance" and what it all really means. Share the Arrows 2025 is on October 11 in Dallas, Texas! Go to sharethearrows.com for tickets now!
