In this video I share the story of Martin Luther publishing the 95 Theses in 1517 due to corruption by the church and monarchs of his day. This led to political and social turmoil in Europe that is known as the reformation, which inspired a continent and ultimately the world. You see, Martin Luther took on the Catholic church and monarchs by letting common folks know that they didn't need to go to a priest to pay for the forgiveness of their sins. Instead they could pray directly to God and be forgiven. This greatly upset the church because it reduced their cashflow and as a result, They put a bounty on Martin Luther's head, but he was able to find shelter with local princes in Germany. His 95 Theses had a major impact because it was translated into multiple languages and printed and distributed all over Europe. This was made possible by the invention of the Gutenberg Press, which was the greatest technological advance of its time. What started in 1517 led to the Enlightenment Era nearly 130 years later. Because it became widely accepted that all men could go to God directly, political and social leaders like John Locke realized that the only way to make all men equal in the eyes of the government was to creating a system where every man had an equal right to vote for their local and national leadership. As a result, voting became the most powerful way to participate in the political process. While African American's were supposed to be able to vote in 1866 after the civil war, many Southern states had discriminatory laws that prohibited African Americans from voting. In later years Susan B. Anthony in America and Emmeline Pankhurst in England fought for Women to have the right to vote. Ultimately, the Voting Rights Act of 1965 gave all African Americans the right to vote. When we look at history, true power starts at the polls in modern societies. Martin Luther King, Malcolm X and John F. Kennedy all understood this and that is why they were assassinated. In the eyes of the law we are all equal because we all have the right to vote. If you Don't vote you don't matter in the eyes of those in power. Let your voice and vote be heard if you truly want to facilitate change. This is especially true when it comes to local elections. #historyofvoting #historyofdemocracy #biblicalorigins #votingday #election #electionday #martinlutherking #martinluther #malcomx #jfk

Quotation Themes:  Primary themes: Truth, risk, liberty and justice, morality, personal responsibility, conscience. Secondary themes: Fragility of democracy, reputation/legacy, service, demanding rights, tyranny, duty and patriotism, societal and common welfare, fundamental rights, legality, reform, individual and collective agency or action, and constitutional liberties.In this 11-minute podcast, I highlight informative and insightful quotes by Enlightenment men as well as from Great men who inherit the spirit of Enlightenment values. Some of the men of which I highlight either 1-2 quotes include the Buddha who was born in India, Cyrus the Great of Persia, Frederick II of Prussia, Baruch Spinoza of the Netherlands, Immanuel Kant of Germany, Benjamin Franklin of the United States of America, Samuel Adams of the United States of America, Edmund Burke of Ireland, Thomas Jefferson of the United States of America, Benjamin Rush of the United States of America, and Georges Bernanos of France. Additionally, I highlight multiple quotes by three icons of human rights and constitutional liberty of whom are the 2nd president of the United States of America John Adams, the first law minister of India and creator of its constitution Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar, and the 44th president of the United States who established universal health care reform for the first time in American history, ended the War in Iraq, and killed the mastermind behind the 9/11 attacks Osama Bin Laden, President Barack Obama. The figures of President John Adams, Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar, and President Barack Obama are not only a few of my most admired advocates of liberty, justice, and human rights, but they are also all constitutional experts and proponents of constitutional principles: President John Adams wrote the first constitution for a representative republic in modern history for the Massachusetts government in 1780 setting the precedent for all constitutions in the modern era; Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar was the first law minister of India and thus was the primary drafter of India's first constitution allowing for the establishment of parliamentary democracy and India's code of ethics for all Indians especially through the institutions of quotas and reservations for the underclass; President Barack Obama not only shaped political democracy, but also American mores, values, and ethics, channeling his experience as a young community organizer in Chicago, Illinois and his expertise as a constitutional law professor at the University of Chicago for 10 years into the American presidency where he fostered a new dialogue on race relations by establishing the Brother Keeper's foundation to provide mentorship to young men across the United States of America while also setting the precedent for equality through the implementation of the Fair Pay Act for women and proliferating liberty and justice around the world by fostering future leaders through his Obama foundation. As illustrated by the men who I have chosen to quote, there is a thread in history that binds us all together and a tradition of freedom that we all share. More importantly, as these men have demonstrated, it is only through an understanding of history, political precedents, and cultural norms, that we can even begin to reform the social fabric of society which is predicated on social democracy.  

Can Jewish people keep the Old Testament law and their ancient traditions while following Jesus as their rabbi and Messiah? This phenomenon has been happening all over the world, and it's called Messianic Judaism. Jacob Fronczak is joined by Stephanie Hamman and Aaron Eby, two Messianic Jews, to explore the origin, purpose, and destiny of Messianic Judaism and explain why it's a foretaste of the kingdom of heaven. – Episode Timecode – What is Messianic Judaism? Steph and Aaron provide definitions of Messianic Judaism. Why is Messianic Judaism controversial within both Christianity and Judaism? How does distinction theology bring correction to replacement theology? Where do we find the basis for the existence of Messianic Judaism in the Bible? Why shouldn't Jews who come to faith in Jesus convert to become Christians? Messianic Judaism is the practice of Judaism combined with a faith in Jesus as the Messiah. Messianic Judaism is not about recovering a first-century faith and practice while ignoring the development of modern Judaism. When did Messianic Judaism begin? Who were the first Messianic Jews? Did it start with Jews for Jesus? The emergence of Christianity out of Messianic Judaism? What is the spectrum of what it might look like for people who practice Messianic Judaism? How did the development of Judaism through the modern Enlightenment Era impact Messianic Judaism? Can Jews who believe in Jesus practice Judaism and observe the Torah? Does Messianic Judaism primarily exist as a way to missionize Jews? Who were the Messianic Jewish luminaries from the nineteenth and twentieth centuries who shaped modern Messianic Judaism? – Related Resources – Messianic Jewish Luminaries https://ffoz.store/collections/luminaries HaYesod http://hayesod.org Union of Messianic Jewish Congregations http://umjc.org Messiah Magazine: http://ffoz.org/messiah First Fruits of Zion: http://ffoz.org Messiah Podcast is a production of First Fruits of Zion (http://ffoz.org) in conjunction with Messiah Magazine (http://ffoz.org/messiah).

This episode is about one question that troubled philosophers during a time period in history called the Enlightenment.

This is the very first episode of Elrod’s Educational Lectures! In this episode, Coach Elrod will be talking about the Enlightenment Era and its benefits. (Sorry about the audio quality!)

Of the many institutions that Donald Trump has attacked – Courts, Congress, media, political parties, diplomats, former Presidents – perhaps the most surprising and unnerving has been the relentless attacks on our intelligence community. Even before that second day in office – the one where he stood before the 117 stars honoring the CIA’s fallen and said we should’ve kept Iraq’s oil, claimed almost everyone in the room voted for him, and, of course, raved about the inauguration crowd size – even before all that, the attacks were there.Why does he do it? More importantly, what’s the impact on our country and our stability?Gen. Michael Hayden has written as thorough, thoughtful and complex an analysis as I’ve seen in his new book  “The Assault on Intelligence: American National Security in an Age of Lies.” Gen. Hayden connects our Enlightenment Era roots, philosophy, history, science and our post-truth insanity with the mindfulness you’d expect from a former CIA Director. Oh, and his answer: A resounding nothing good. Hayden spoke frankly and directly, which shouldn’t surprise. He’s also a retired United States Air Force four-star general and former Director of the National Security Agency. He doesn’t mince words.

We're back with Book 1 Chapter 2 of The Wealth of Nations by Adam Smith. In this episode we continue to talk about the division of labor, as well as get into the Enlightenment Era influences of Adam Smith. I also take some time to address some not-so-thought-out criticism of Adam Smith. Want to tell me why I'm wrong?

God's Purpose In Things: An Interview With Elizabeth Bruenig, Editor at the Washington Post and Contributor to America Magazine. Elizabeth gives us a general outline of the understanding of property from the Patristic Age, through the Medieval Church, and into the Enlightenment Era. We especially look to St. Augustine's account of creation, fall, and redemption in understanding the political order, rule, and property. The difference this makes for contemporary Catholics is elucidated as well.

Teaching at SFSU: I designed the third class to teach students about evolutions that occurred in criminal justice during the 18th century. Scholars referred to that era as The Enlightenment, a time when people had more hope. Two philosophers, Thomas Hobbes and John Locke, presented different theories on human behavior. According to Thomas Hobbes’ view, people were basically beasts by nature. Hobbes’ theory held that people would only refrain from breaking laws if the state maintained a severe penal system that would punish wrongdoing. John Locke, on the other hand, believed that all people came into the world with a blank slate—meaning they were neither good nor bad. Instead, they learned behavior through their observations and experiences. People may have learned behaviors that led to criminal actions, but they could also “unlearn” those behaviors and become good.   Philosophy: Those types of philosophical questions, I explained to the students, led other philosophers to question the way we responded to criminal behavior. Instead of responding to every offense with corporal punishment, many began to propose different ideas. During the Enlightenment Era, the prison movement began. Instead of relying on jails or prisons to hold people until after the conviction, when authorities could carry out the corporal punishment, we began to use sentence people to confinement. Rather than punishing the body, we would extract time from offenders by forcing them into confinement. In the following class, I invited the students to assess the level of progress we had made as a society. On a scale of 1 to 10, with 1 being hardly any change and 10 being massive change, I asked them to rate the difference. How much of an improvement was it, I asked, for laws to allow governments to punish offenders by confinement rather than by cutting their heads off, putting them on a stake, and then lighting the heads on fire. Each student agreed that confinement was a significant improvement—a 10 on the scale. Then I opened discussions about how our system of confinement has evolved since the birth of the prison. We spent the remainder of our course discussing the ways that prison systems changed since the 1800s to the modern day.   Guest Speakers: To help students understand more, I brought many guest speakers into the classroom. A deputy from the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department visited, The San Francisco Sheriff visited, and a federal magistrate judge visited. I had formerly incarcerated individuals visit, probation officers visit, and representatives from community activist groups visit. Since I couldn’t bring my students into prisons or into the criminal justice system, I did my best to bring the system to them. I didn’t limit my teaching to San Francisco State University. During my first year of liberty I spoke at universities from New York to Washington state, and I spoke regularly at universities in the Bay area, including at UC Berkeley and at Stanford Law School. I felt passionately about working to help more people understand our nation’s criminal justice system and about working to bring improvements. California Wellness Foundation:As much as I enjoyed teaching, I knew that I wouldn’t be spending my career in the classroom. I couldn’t afford it. As an adjunct professor who taught only a single class on campus, my pay capped out at less than $12,000 per year. I could’ve taught a few more courses to increase my pay, but without a Ph.D., I wouldn’t be able to become a full professor or earn a livable wage. Returning to school to complete my Ph.D. wasn’t really an option. After all, I’d been out of the workforce for longer than 25 years and I couldn’t afford to take another hiatus to study for three to five years. Besides the time commitment that would be necessary, I didn’t want to undertake further tuition expense. Since I’d made a commitment to Carole, I needed to devote time that would allow me to achieve dual objectives. On one hand, I wanted to pursue projects that would improve outcomes of our nation’s prison system and resolve one of the greatest social injustices of our time. On the other hand, I wanted to create income opportunities that would allow Carole and me to enjoy financial stability. I taught for a full academic year at San Francisco State, but while at the university I pursued other ventures. Fortunately, The California Wellness Foundation continued to sponsor the work that Justin and I were doing. As a consequence of grants we received, we were able to fully develop our Straight-A Guide program.

My guest this week is Neru. She’s an MC and singer from Baltimore. I saw her perform at The Windup Space last winter, and I’ve wanted to learn her history ever since. She talks about feeling like a black sheep as a kid, and gradually finding her way into music. She talks about her first group, and how she became a solo artist. We talk about her Enlightenment Era album, and her other forthcoming projects. This episode is hosted by splicetoday.com.

2 Corinthians 3:18 : Everybody knows it… we were designed for relationships. We were created to know and to be known. But, that isn’t an easy thing. In many ways the dawn of the Enlightenment Era invited us to embrace the prominence of the autonomous self. However, on a deep seeded level, we all know we were created for more. In fact, the bible doesn’t say that community is a good way to enhance our lives, it states that community is necessary to shape our lives. Listen in as we explore the way that community helps transform us into the image of God.
