Fr. John Whiteford's sermon for April 6, 2025.
Father John Whiteford is back with us this week to discuss C.I. Scofield, J.N. Darby, and their incorrect theology. The Scofield Reference Bible is a very common Bible found in homes and churches all across America. It is where the very modern ideas of dispensationalism, the pre-tribulation rapture, and a few other incorrect theological issues come from. We discuss who invented these ideas, how Zionists have used them to further dangerous policies, and why no Christian ever believed these ideas before the 19th century. Fr. John Whiteford is the pastor of St. Jonah Orthodox Church (ROCOR) in Spring, Texas. He is the author of Sola Scriptura: An Orthodox Analysis of the Cornerstone of Reformation Theology, published by Conciliar Press, and the general editor of the St. Innocent Liturgical Calendar.

Today, I have Fr. John Whiteford and Jim Jatras back on the show. We are breaking down and answering critiques that were presented by Pastor Joel Webbon, Pastor J. Chase Davis, and others in a podcast from Right Response Ministries called "Why Young Men Are Flocking To Eastern Orthodoxy" (). Right Response Ministries is a Protestant group, and they have several very good podcast episodes; they're definitely not enemies. We disagree on how they present the Orthodox Church, though, and that's why we wanted to make this response to them.

The second annual Philip Ludwell III Southern Orthodoxy Conference was held in my town of Lockhart, TX, from September 6th-8th, 2024. For the folks that purchased a VIP ticket, we held a live recording of this podcast in a nice, private room with seating, cocktails, and hors d'oeuvres. My guests, as you can see, were very special, and I wanted to hit them with a litany of topics to discuss. We hit things like: Israel, Ukraine, the explosion of Orthodoxy, Baptism vs. Chrismation, the need for spiritual fathers, online Orthodoxy, and much more. I was very fortunate to have a wonderful crowd, fantastic production, and top notch guests. This one is special. Again, special thanks to all my guests (in case the list is too long for the title!): Fr. John Whiteford, Fr. Ignatius, Fr. Peter Heers, Jim Jatras, Conrad Franz, and Dissident Mama.

Fr John Whiteford joins me once again to discuss a common obstacle. In some regions it's difficult to find an Orthodox Church to attend, so can you be Orthodox without ease of access to a church? We discuss where to find materials for at home reading, prayer, tones and chants, and how to navigate a difficult situation.

My guest this week is one of my favorite men to have on the show: Father John Whiteford. Fr. John is Archpriest and pastor at St. Jonah Orthodox Church in Spring, Texas. Fr. John was a representative of the ROCOR Diocese of Chicago and Mid-America at the signing of the Act of Canonical Communion between the Moscow Patriarchate and the Russian Orthodox Church Outside of Russia, in Moscow, on May 17, 2007. He is currently the general editor of the St. Innocent Liturgical Calendar. He is also the dean of the southern deanery (Texas and Louisiana) of the Diocese of Chicago and Mid-America ROCOR. He is here to discuss the bad theology being preached by many American Protestant preachers that is leading to horrible death and destruction in the Middle East. There is a trend amongst many American Christians that the State of Israel must be supported and defended no matter what. Because of a very modern take on certain scriptures, many believe the Jews are God's "chosen people", the State of Israel is the same thing as the Biblical Israel, dispensationalism is a legitimate Biblical teaching, and that modern day Judaism is the same thing as the Judaism of the Old Testament. Fr. John explains where these misconceptions arose from and why and how they're not only against true Church teachings but also lead to horriific consequences. As St. Matthew said, "Ye shall know them by their fruits."
