In this episode of Catholic Answers Live, Karlo Broussard answers a range of insightful questions about Scripture, Church teaching, and Catholic doctrine. He explains how Matthew 25 supports the Catholic view that good works are essential for salvation, addresses why the Church typically welcomes converts at the Easter Vigil, and points to biblical evidence for purgatory. Karlo also clarifies how annulments work, discusses the value of formal theological study versus self-education, and offers guidance on teaching the origins of Adam and Eve alongside Church teaching on evolution. Finally, he shares the Catholic perspective on the teachings of John MacArthur. Join The CA Live Club Newsletter: Click Here Invite our apologists to speak at your parish! Visit Catholicanswersspeakers.com Questions Covered: 01:49 – How does Matthew 25 support the Catholic view that good works play a role in salvation, in contrast to the Protestant view of faith alone? 12:30 – Why does the Catholic Church typically receive converts during one specific time of the year, such as at the Easter Vigil? 17:54 – Where can the doctrine of purgatory be found in Scripture? 31:02 – When an annulment is granted by the Church, is it effective immediately or does it apply retroactively to the original marriage date? 37:03 – For someone deepening their faith later in life, is it better to pursue formal theological education or engage in structured self-study? 44:10 – What is the Church's teaching on the origins of Adam and Eve and how can it be effectively taught alongside the theory of evolution? 52:07 – What is the Catholic Church's perspective on the teachings of Protestant pastor John MacArthur?
The first episode of season four of The MacArthur Center podcast—titled Influence—answers a crucial question: What is leadership? Countless books have been written on the topic, but few really understand how someone becomes an effective leader. For more than 55 years, John MacArthur has led a church, a media ministry, a university and seminary through extraordinary change. What qualities have made him an effective leader? How did he grow into his role as a leader? Get answers in this episode as we look at the nature of leadership, what Scripture says about the topic, and how pastors can have profound influence for the sake of the gospel.
Is John MacArthur right? Is Zechariah 14 and the Day of the Lord irrefutable proof of premillenialism? Do Amillenialists and Postmillenialists have a response?

Rejecting Deliverance Theology | Historical Overview & Biblical ResponseI have enclosed a personal letter for everyone listening to this serieshttps://member.bulldozerfaith.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/Introduction-Letter-for-the-Series-Deliverance-Pitfalls.pdfIn today's teaching, we explore the historicaldevelopment of the deliverance ministry movement - from early churchpractices to modern-day trends- and why it departs from sound biblicaldoctrine.Key Points1st- 3rd Century: Exorcism was forunbelievers prior to baptism—not for Spirit-filled believers.1970s Onward: Teachers like Derek Princeand Frank Hammond introduced controversial doctrines—e.g., believerdemonization, naming spirits, generational curses.1980s - 1990s: Sensational teachings (e.g., RebeccaBrown) led to paranoia and spiritual confusion.Biblical Pushback: Leaders like John MacArthur,R.C. Sproul, and even Assemblies of God rejected these teachingsas unbiblical and harmful.Why It Spread: Emotional testimonies, spiritualsensationalism, and lack of discipleship left many vulnerable. CommonErrors ExposedConfusing sin with demon possessionReplacing sanctification with exorcismPromoting fear over faithUndermining the finished work of MessiahWhat the Bible TeachesFreedom comes through repentance, truth,and discipleship (John 17:17; Romans 6–8).The Holy Spirit dwells in believers - notdemons (1 Cor. 3:16).Our identity in Christ gives lasting victory (Gal.2:20; Col. 2:15).Goal of this SeriesTo equip the Body of Messiah with biblical truth, expose error, and restoreconfidence in the power of the Gospel - not deliverance formulas.Let's walk in truth, freedom, and maturity—together.
Ever been stumped by Bible questions . . . not knowing where to look for clear and definitive answers? Well, you may have at least one of those questions cleared up next . . . as John MacArthur breaks from him normal verse-by-verse teaching format to answer questions from the church he's pastored for fifty-six years.

Holding fast the faithful word as he hath been taught, that he may be able by sound doctrine both to exhort and to convince the gainsayers.—Titus 1:9This is part three in our series of articles on being a Berean. Tom McMahon wrote “Being a Berean,” an article that laid out who we are as a ministry. Tom and Dave started The Berean Call to help get God's message out through newsletters written by Dave Hunt (and later by Tom, too). In part two, Dave wrote a newsletter entitled, “More on Being a Berean” that continued the theme of what our ministry stands for with examples of error being taught in our Lord's name. This newsletter will continue on those themes and our desire to do God's will out of love for Him.We start with the very first commandment, which Jesus said is “…thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength” (Mark 12:30). “We love him, because he first loved us” (1 John 4:19), which the Lord demonstrated because “…while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us” (Romans 5:8), “…was buried, and…rose again the third day according to the scriptures” (1 Corinthians 15:4).God saved us from an eternal punishment that we fully deserve, but He didn't stop there. He has given us His Word, which He magnifies above His name (Psalm 138:2). In addition, Jesus promised that He would send from the Father (John 15:26) the Spirit of truth, who will guide us into all truth (John 16:13). With God's Word and His indwelling Holy Spirit (1 Corinthians 3:16), He “…hath given unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of him that hath called us to glory and virtue” (2 Peter 1:3).1 Bob Jones III, BJU Tape God's Barriers Between Men, January 15, 1982.2 Bob Jones III, BJU Tape God's Barriers Between Men, January 15, 1982.3 At the turn of the century, BJU removed their ban on interracial relationships.4 Dave Hunt, “Am I A Fundamentalist?”, TBC Newsletter August 1998.5 Galatians 3:16, English Standard Version.6 The latest revision of the NIV has moved up the text and has the bracket section stating [The earliest manuscripts and some other ancient witnesses do not have verses 9–20.].7 John MacArthur, ed, The MacArthur Study Bible, 2nd Edition, English Standard Version (Nashville: Thomas Nelson Publishing, 2021), 1366.

Send us a textSo… why are we obsessed with the end of the world?In Part 2 of our chaotic theological therapy session with Jeff Swanson, the Christian AF crew gets personal, philosophical, and—let's be honest—maybe a little punch-drunk from talking about dispensationalism for 4+ hours.We dig into:Why certainty might be the biggest enemy of faithThe toxic fallout of end-times obsessionWhy shame ≠ conviction (yes, there's a difference)How to unlearn bad theology without losing your mindAlso, there's talk of duck butter, mini horses, and why John MacArthur may or may not still be alive at the time of this recording. (RIP, just in case.)
Segment 1 • Todd discusses the common practice of eulogizing those who have passed. • Can we eulogize the Pope? The Roman Catholic system is unbiblical, but we can still examine it critically. • The Catholic system still promotes works-based salvation, despite some abandoning it. The issue remains: how do we get to heaven? Segment 2 • Research shows majority agree with climate change, but the real issue lies in theology. • Catholics believe Mary was born sinless, a doctrine that emerged in the 1800s, but this contradicts the Bible. • Jesus is the one mediator between God and man; Mary doesn't share in that role, regardless of her suffering. Segment 3 • Good news: John MacArthur is feeling better and ready to return to the pulpit. • Dr. Greg Gifford tackles the issue of religious scrupulosity—feeling guilty doesn't mean you're guilty. • Understanding true guilt versus feeling guilty can be liberating. Segment 4 • A father in Colorado and others are challenging the power of school boards and educators. • Fathers are standing up, saying, "We're heading down an irreversible path"—why aren't more men speaking up? • Celeste Diest, a student in California, challenges the lack of action from men in defending their children's future. ___ Thanks for listening!

In this episode, Dr. Piper responds to a recent Q and A that asked about the judgment of God on America. In spite of what some see as a positive turn to the right, the USA is still a mess, so how does God view our country? Make sure you listen for some great quotes from Jeremiah in the OT and also from John MacArthur that will embolden and encourage!

It's Friday, March 21st, A.D. 2025. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 125 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com. I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Adam McManus 1,300 people killed in Syria last week More than 1,300 people, mostly civilians, have been killed in the past week in Syria, reports Open Doors. The BBC reported that a UK-based monitor has identified that “830 civilians were killed in ‘massacres' targeting Alawites on the west coast on Friday and Saturday.” Based in the Middle East, the Alawites are a sect of Islam that venerates a Muslim imam known as Ali. Former Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, known for his brutal dictatorship, is an Alawite himself, as was his father. The recent violence began with pro-Assad forces who attacked soldiers associated with the new government of Syria. Isaiah 59:7 says, “Their feet rush into sin; they are swift to shed innocent blood. They pursue evil schemes; acts of violence mark their ways.” Although the violence doesn't seem to be targeting Syrian Christians, followers of Jesus are scared in the midst of the violence. That's why on Sunday, March 9, many churches did not hold their Sunday services. Trump dismantles Department of Education President Donald Trump signed an executive order Thursday directing Education Secretary Linda McMahon to start dismantling the Department of Education. TRUMP: “Today we take a very historic action that was 45 years in the making. In a few moments, I will sign an Executive Order to begin eliminating the Federal Department of Education once and for all. (applause) Everybody knows it's right.” Immediately after the signing, Republican Senator Bill Cassidy of Louisiana, the chair of the Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee, said in a post on X that he will “submit legislation” to accomplish Trump's goal of shutting down the Department of Education “as soon as possible.” Attorney General Pam Bondi investigating Tesla attacks as terrorism On Tuesday morning, five Tesla vehicles were set on fire in Las Vegas with Molotov cocktails and shot with a gun at a Tesla Collision Center. That was the tenth such attack on Teslas since Trump's inauguration on January 20th, reports Fox News. The Left has also violently targeted Teslas or Tesla dealerships in Salem, Oregon, Loveland, Colorado, Owings Mills, Maryland, Littleton, Massachusetts, Tigard, Oregon, North Charlston, South Carolina, Seattle, Washington, Dedham, Massachusetts, and Kansas City, Missouri. Attorney General Pam Bondi called the recent spate of arson attacks and vandalism against Tesla vehicles "nothing short of domestic terrorism" and promised harsh punishments for perpetrators if they are caught, reports ABC News. There's been a clear uptick in attacks on Teslas and Tesla dealerships since President Donald Trump took office and empowered Elon Musk to oversee a new Department of Government Efficiency that's slashing government spending. Appearing on Fox News, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt was direct. LEAVITT: “President Trump condemns this violence. He is determined to restore law and order in our country, and he will ensure that the harshest penalties are pursued for those who are engaging in this vicious violence that we have seen targeted at this American company, Tesla, dealerships, Tesla employees and also innocent Americans who have chosen to drive these vehicles, many of them, ironically, are likely Democrats. “There is a major double standard here. The Democrats used to be the greatest cheerleaders for electric vehicles and for Tesla, the company, until Elon Musk decided to support and vote for Donald Trump. “So, the Trump Derangement Syndrome from the Left is on true display with these attacks. It is getting dangerous, and the White House wholeheartedly condemns it, and we applaud Attorney General Pam Bondi for investigating these acts as domestic terrorism, because that is what they are.” Will Dr. Oz support abortion and transgenderism now? Senate confirmation proceedings are underway for Dr. Mehmet Oz, President Donald Trump's choice for Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services administrator. Republican Senator Josh Hawley of Missouri is seeking answers about the TV personality's past liberal stances on abortion and transgender issues, reports LifeSiteNews.com. As recently as 2019, Oz had attacked abortion bans because he disputed that the heartbeat begins at six weeks gestation despite scientific proof. Appearing on The Breakfast Club radio show, Oz also indicated that fetal viability was the only reasonable benchmark for gestational protection. OZ: “If the child was viable outside the womb, then you don't want to kill that child. If the child was not going to be able to survive outside the mom, then the mom runs the show. This is a hard issue for everybody. I get it. But just being logical about it, if you think that the moment of conception, you've got a life, then why would you even wait six weeks?” Later, Dr. Oz made this remark. OZ: “If someone, deep in their heart, feels that the moment of conception is a human life, and they just can't deal with that life being harmed, they got to be heard. They can't get ignored. But that doesn't mean that's what the rule of the land is.” Plus, in 2010, Oz emerged as a critical, early backer of “transitioning” gender-confused minors, running an hour-long special about “transgender children” that promoted a 15-year-old girl who had undergone a double mastectomy at age 14 and an eight-year-old boy being raised as a girl named “Josie.” Over the course of his 2022 Senatorial campaign, Oz backtracked on both issues, declaring himself “100% Pro-Life” and denying that he supported transitioning minors, claiming that his hosting of the opposite position did not constitute endorsement. Steve Lawson: “I have sinned grievously.” And finally, former Pastor Steven Lawson, age 73, a prominent figure in the Reformed/Calvinist movement, has acknowledged that he has “sinned grievously,” speaking out for the first time about the September 20th scandal that removed him from ministry, reports The Christian Post. Once a teaching fellow at Ligonier Ministries and the dean of Doctor of Ministry Studies at The Master's Seminary, Lawson, a married man, allegedly had a 5-year affair with a woman in her late 20s. In a series of now-deleted X posts, Phil Johnson, Director of Grace to You with John MacArthur, said last September that Lawson only informed the elders at Trinity Bible Church after "the girl's father had confronted Steve and threatened exposure. This was not a noble confession.” In an X post this past Wednesday, Lawson wrote: “I have sinned grievously against the Lord, against my wife, my family, and against countless numbers of you by having a sinful relationship with a woman not my wife. I am deeply broken that I have betrayed and deceived my wife, devastated my children, brought shame to the name of Christ, reproach upon His church, and harm to many ministries.” Lawson added, “I have been undergoing extensive counseling for the last five months to face the hard questions I need to address. I have dealt with sin issues that have been painfully exposed in my heart. I have submitted myself in weekly accountability to two pastors and to the elders of a local congregation, who have shepherded my soul.” 1 Timothy 3:1-2 says, “Whoever aspires to be an overseer desires a noble task. Now the overseer is to be above reproach, faithful to his wife, temperate, self-controlled, respectable, hospitable, able to teach.” Close And that's The Worldview on this Friday, March 21st, in the year of our Lord 2025.

We have that list, and many of the largest ministries in the country are on it. But first, prominent pastor and theologian Steve Lawson breaks his silence six months after news surfaced that he was having an inappropriate relationship with a young woman. Steven Lawson, 73, who stepped down from ministry following an adultery scandal, has published a public confession admitting his sin and repentance. The producer for today's program is Jeff McIntosh. We get database and other technical support from Stephen DuBarry, Rod Pitzer, and Casey Sudduth. Writers who contributed to today's program include Jessica Eturralde, Kim Roberts, Tony Mator, Aleja Hertzler-McCain, Ed Stych, Brittany Smith, and Christina Darnell. Until next time, may God bless you. MANUSCRIPT: FIRST SEGMENT Warren: Hello everybody. I'm Warren Smith, coming to you this week from Charlotte, North Carolina. Natasha: And I'm Natasha Cowden, coming to you from Denver, Colorado, and we'd like to welcome you to the MinistryWatch podcast. Warren: On today's program, Gateway Church founder Robert Morris turns himself into authorities after a grand jury indicted him on child sexual abuse charges. We'll have details. And, USAID unfreezes $19 million in funds for Samaritan's Purse. We'll take a look. Plus, nearly 200 ministries do NOT file a Form 990 with the IRS.

Natasha: But first, prominent pastor and theologian Steve Lawson breaks his silence six months after news surfaced that he was having an inappropriate relationship with a young woman. Warren: Steven Lawson, 73, who stepped down from ministry following an adultery scandal, has published a public confession admitting his sin and repentance. On March 12, in his first tweet on X since before the scandal broke, Lawson addressed his followers in a nearly 500-word tweet. "It is with a shattered heart that I write this letter. I have sinned grievously against the Lord, against my wife, my family, and against countless numbers of you by having a sinful relationship with a woman not my wife," the tweet began. Natasha: In September 2024, Trinity Bible Church of Dallas removed Lawson, their lead pastor of six years, after he admitted to church elders that he was having an "inappropriate relationship" with a woman. Before joining Trinity in 2018, Lawson was a pastor for over 40 years, leading churches in Arkansas and Alabama. Warren: Lawson formerly served as professor of preaching and dean of D.Min. studies at The Master's Seminary (TMS) and was a frequent preacher at John MacArthur's Grace Community Church (GCC) and its conferences. Lawson is also the founder of OnePassion Ministries, executive editor of Expositor Magazine (a ministry of OnePassion), and author of 33 books. Natasha: Next, Robert Morris turns himself in to authorities. Warren: Robert Morris, founding pastor of Gateway Church in Southlake, Texas, turned himself in on charges of lewd acts with children on Monday, March 17. Morris was indicted by a grand jury in Oklahoma last week on five charges of lewd or indecent acts with children. Natasha: The charges stem for allegations brought by Cindy Clemishire last year. Warren: Clemishire has accused Morris of sexually abusing her in the 1980s, starting when she was 12 years old. Morris was allegedly a 21-year-old visiting evangelist. He was married, and he and his wife had a young child. Morris resigned after the allegations became public through Clemishire's account published by The Wartburg Watch on June 14,

John MacArthur calls Matthew 7:21 the most terrifying verse in the Bible. "Not everyone who says to Me, 'Lord, Lord,' will enter the kingdom of heaven." Clearly, some people are convinced they are Christians when, in fact, they are still lost in their sin. How can you be sure your salvation is real? Find out in this episode, as Dr. Abner Chou and Dr. Nathan Busenitz explore the doctrine of assurance.
Segment 1: • Dr. John MacArthur may not have attended the Shepherd's Conference, but his legacy and commitment to serving the Lord remain paramount. • Are you sprinting toward eternity with the same intensity as Dr. MacArthur? It's about doing all things with purpose, regardless of whether they seem "religious." • Time is running out—how will you finish the race? Living for Christ in everything we do matters for eternity. Segment 2: • Tim Challies' webinar on comforting those who mourn is coming up this Thursday. Don't miss this crucial opportunity to learn about biblical grief. • Exciting events ahead: Jason Lisle's upcoming event and a 30% off coupon for G3! Plus, get your hands on Greg Gifford's new book, Lies My Therapist Told Me. • ADHD in kids—what if it's more about personality than a disorder? Dive into this crucial conversation. Segment 3: • The narrative blaming Christians for the high suicide rates in the transgender community is misguided. The truth: rates of depression and suicide are significantly higher among those who undergo gender surgeries. • The numbers speak for themselves—gender transition surgery doesn't solve underlying issues; it exacerbates them. • UK's “first man” pregnant naturally—how much longer will society deny reality? We're blurring the lines on truth. Segment 4: • America is back—but at what cost? Melania Trump announces the return of the White House Easter Egg Roll; what does this mean for cultural values today? • Evangelical churches on Easter: Could there be a divine groan over how we're celebrating and engaging with the world's distractions? • College students are speaking out—are we truly listening to their struggles, or just focusing on the wrong things? ___ Preorder the new book, Lies My Therapist Told Me, by Fortis Institute Fellow Dr. Greg Gifford now! https://www.harpercollins.com/pages/liesmytherapisttoldme ___ Thanks for listening!

The conversation covers a range of political and cultural topics, including Elon Musk's recent challenges, U.S.-Ukraine relations, the impact of immigration on housing prices, media manipulation, and the cultural commentary surrounding public figures like John MacArthur and JD Vance. The discussion highlights the complexities of these issues and their implications for society.
It's Tuesday, March 11th, A.D. 2025. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 125 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com. I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Kevin Swanson Supreme Court takes case of Christian counselor vs. transgenderism The U.S. Supreme Court has agreed to hear a Colorado case of a counselor who has been cited for counseling clients under 18 about a Biblically sound position on homosexuality and transgenderism. Alliance Defending Freedom will argue that the Colorado law violates counselor Kaley Chiles' freedom of speech. Colorado law currently allows counseling conversations that aim to steer young people towards transgenderism, but prohibits conversations that aim to help them to remain content with their God-given gender. Thus far, 26 out of 50 U.S. states have endorsed body-mutilating surgeries for children between the ages of 13 and 17. Thousand citizens and militants killed by Syrian government France 24 reports as many as a thousand citizens and militants have been killed by supporters of the new Syrian government over the last few days. Execution style murders are being conducted in the Alawite State of Northwest Syria, and some of the victims are Christians. Syrian President Ahmed al-Sharaa denounced the violence. Al-SHARAA (through a translator): “Anyone who commits violence against civilians will be held accountable. It is our duty to protect our compatriots.” Menacing warships from Russia, China, and Iran Eastern nations are forming closer military and political alliances as warships from Russia, China, and Iran initiated joint exercises on Monday in the Gulf of Oman. This is the fifth such drill since 2019. Dutch reject one true God, turning to false Muslim god Religious faith is declining in the Netherlands. A recent survey found only 13% of the Dutch consider themselves Protestant, and only 4% attend Protestant churches. That compares to 6% of the Dutch aligned with the Muslim religion. The study discovered that Protestants are losing adherents by a rate of 3% every decade, while the Muslims are increasing by a rate of 1% every ten years. Swiss Evangelicals drop from 34% to 3% Another survey conducted in Switzerland found only 3% of the population attend an Evangelical church. And the Evangelical population has dropped off to 19.5% of the population, down from 34% in the year 2000. Over the same period of time, the Muslim population increased from 3.6% to 6.0%. The rate of Protestants leaving the Swiss churches has topped 1.6% per year. Catholics are leaving the church at the rate of 1.2% per year. The warning from Romans 11:20 to be humble is appropriate for the Gentile nations: “Because of unbelief [the branches] were broken off, and you stand by faith. Do not be haughty, but fear. For if God did not spare the natural branches, He may not spare you either.” Wyoming Gov. cuts property tax 25% and bans transgender nonsense Wyoming Republican Governor Mark Gordon signed several bills mirroring the Trump agenda over the last week. He signed a bill cutting property tax by 25%, and another bill banning government programs which favor or disfavor people on the basis of religion, race, or sex. John MacArthur: “I'm on my last lap.” Pastor John MacArthur appeared on video at his Shepherd's Conference last week. The 85-year-old pastor of Grace Community Church in Sun Valley, California and the voice of the Grace to You radio ministry has undergone three heart surgeries and lung surgery over the last several months. He noted that he's slowly recovering strength after the ordeal. He closed his address with these words. MacARTHUR: “I realize I'm on the last lap. That takes on a new meaning when you know you're on the short end of the candle. But I am all thanks and praise to God for everything He's allowed me to be a part of and everything He's accomplished by His Word in these years of ministry. Grace and peace to you from God our Father and the Lord, Jesus Christ.” MovieGuide affirmed best pro-family movies and actors The 2025 pro-family MovieGuide annual awards were announced last week. The most inspiring movie award went to the Catholic story of “Cabrini.” The film “Reagan” on the life of the U.S. president, received the Faith and Freedom award. The most inspiring performance of an actress went to Candace Cameron Bure, for her role in “A Christmas Less Travelled” on the Great American Family Network. And the most inspiring performance for an actor was awarded to Jesse Hutch for his role in “Christmas Under the Northern Lights.” Bitcoin down, Gold up Bitcoin has lost 22% of its value in the last month. Gold is up 4%, now hovering around $2,900 and change per ounce. The U.S. trade deficit has spiked 100% year-over-year in January, hitting a record $155 billion — which would amount to almost a $2 trillion annual deficit. Exercise helps sleep And finally, it turns out that exercise is helpful for sleeping. That's the conclusion arrived at by researchers studying a group of 2,170 people ages 60 and older. Muscle training such as lifting weights and doing pushups improved sleep scores by 5.75 points and aerobic exercise improved sleep scores by 3.76 points. 1 Timothy 4:8 reminds us that “while bodily training is of some value, godliness is of value in every way, as it holds promise for the present life and also for the life to come.” Close And that's The Worldview on this Tuesday, March 11th, in the year of our Lord 2025.

Since June of 2024, the last time we released an episode, John MacArthur's been in and out of the hospital, dealing with one medical crisis after another. By God's grace, and thanks to the subject of this episode, technology, his health is improving and he is still faithfully pastoring Grace Community Church. As Pastor John recovered at home the weeks before this episode, he spoke to us about the gift of medical technology that preserved his life, and he described how technology has always been part of his ministry. He also offers a series of profound lessons on how every pastor, and every Christian, can extract the most blessing from the technology imbedded in God's creation.

Well, this is our…part 2 of our program in which we're addressing the Strange Fire Conference that was held at John MacArthur's church, Grace Community Church in Sun Valley in Southern California, and my partner in addressing this is Anton Bosch.As you'll recognize from Anton's accent, he's originally from South Africa, which…you know, when I ever have somebody on here from New Zealand or these countries, you guys are so much more articulate (laughing) that it's a thrill. You know, Paul Wilkinson from England as well. I go, “Oh brother, Tom. You'd better take some elocution lessons!”
0:00 Introduction 0:49 What was the turning point in your theological journey that moved you away from the hyper-conservatism of John MacArthur? 23:19 John Piper recently said pronoun hospitality is a prelude to future perversions in which a person marries an animal--your reponse? 31:10 The Bible limits grounds for divorce and never allows remarriage. I wasn't a Christian then, but I'm my husband's third wife. Are we both doomed? 34:44 What are your thoughts on Trump banning gender affirming care for minors? How can church leaders help those struggling? 42:16 Is your view of being an ""exile"" challenged by Trump's Exective Orders? I feel like I want to protest...does that fit into the ""exile"" profile? 1:06:25 Do you see non-hierarchical gatherings of Christians to be as legitimate as "Church, Inc" institutions? Do you see a shift away from that corporate structure in the future? 1:11:18 Was the Passover an atoning sacrifice? If not, why did Jesus relate himself to the Passover Lamb instead of the bull or ram sacrifice? 1:15:11 Did God pour out wrath on Jesus? Can he really pour wrath on Himself? Can he turn his face away from himself? -- If you've enjoyed this content, please subscribe to my channel!

Segment 1: • Catholic vs. Protestant Views: Michael Knowles and Charlie Kirk discuss "spreading the love of the Eucharist," but Protestants reject its validity. • The Real Issue: The Pope isn't just a political problem—his entire role is a theological hoax (John MacArthur). • Kirk's Missed Opportunity: He critiques the Pope's Marxism but avoids addressing deeper theological divides. Segment 2: • A Soft Approach: Kirk, usually outspoken, handles Catholicism gently—avoiding doctrinal confrontation. • 500 Years of Division: Protestants and Catholics share some moral values but fundamentally differ on salvation, Mary, and authority. • Historical Perspective: Looking into how Reformers saw the Pope and Catholic teachings provides necessary clarity. Segment 3: • Catholic Claims Under Fire: The idea that Peter was the first Pope doesn't hold up biblically. • Seeking Clarity Over Unity: Doctrinal precision should take precedence over a surface-level agreement. • Wretched's Breakdown: 25 reasons why Peter was never the Pope highlight how the Catholic system isn't what it claims to be. Segment 4: • Who Led the Early Church? Scripture shows James, not Peter, was the head of the Jerusalem church. • Canon Controversy: The Catholic Church codified additional books in response to the Reformers, but Jews never recognized them. • Peter's Own Words: He taught on the priesthood of all believers, which contradicts the idea of a papal hierarchy. ___ Thanks for listening!
