Dear friendsThanks for the positive feedback a number of you have sent in about our new series chatting our way through the book of Romans. It's a slightly different way of driving a podcast conversation, and of exploring a Bible passage—so please keep letting us know how you think it's working.Today, we come to Romans 2, and its discussion of moralistic hypocrisy. This is something that Christians have often been accused of—of proclaiming great moral standards in public but grossly transgressing them in private. But in this passage, Paul attacks the failure of the superior, judgmental moralists of his day—the Greeks and the Jews—and holds out the possibility that true morality is indeed possible, if God writes his law on the heart.

Text: Romans 2:1-3 ESV 1 Therefore you have no excuse, O man, every one of you who judges. For in passing judgment on another, you condemn yourself, because you, the judge, practice the very same things. 2 We know that the judgment of God rightly falls on those who practice such things. 3 Do you suppose, O man—you who judge those who practice such things and yet do them yourself—that you will escape the judgment of God? -Rom 2:1-3 ESV YOU HAVE NO EXCUSE Evidently, Paul has addressed his Jewish readers, who religiously followed the law of Moses. They may have imagined Paul's description in Romans 1 to have been directed to Gentile—non-Jewish—pagans and those they considered "sinners." There may even be Gentiles, who followed moral philosophies and imagined Paul's words as being meant for other ears. Moralists may protest that they are not bad sinners as they pass judgment upon others. But Paul said, “For in passing judgment on another you condemn yourself, because you, the judge, practice the very same things.”[v.1b] These Jewish people think that following the law of Moses has made them right with God, and therefore free from His judgment. Paul anticipated this mindset. He knew many of his Jewish readers assumed that the list of sins and the resulting judgment of God did not apply to them. After all, they were God's special people. He would not condemn them. But they were wrong.[v.2] They should not assume they are immune from God's judgment. Thus Paul asked, “Do you suppose, O man—you who judge those who practice such things and yet do them yourself—that you will escape the judgment of God?”[v.3] For having been self-righteous, they are presuming on or showing contempt for the riches of God's kindness, forbearance, and patience. Aware of God's vast kindness, they have miscalculated that God won't ever judge their sin, even though He may judge the sins of others. ------------------------- Visit and FOLLOW Gospel Light Filipino on YouTube, Facebook and Instagram

Karl Broussard dismisses modern woke absolutes such as “Thou shalt not be a racist” and exposes the relativism lurking behind these scoldings. The new relativism's subtlety is to be flatly countered by Christians holding to the truths of Scripture.

Liberals vs. leftists once again, with the principal conclusion being that trying to find and join your tribe by shouting online—Schmittian picking-an-enemy as the core of your identity—is no way to go through life, son. Nor is artfully screenshotting in order to make sure your readers do not see the sentence just below the ones you quote.In which we discuss the positions of “Brianna”, Matt”, and “Ezra”—who are SubTuring concepts in our minds with whom we have parasocial relationships, and are not real persons named Brianna Wu, Matt Yglesias, and Ezra Klein—on where the boundary is between the decent, realistic, progress left on the one hand, and people who need to get a clue and stop making own-goals on the other.Background:Key Insights:* No Schmittposting— trying to find and join your tribe by shouting online—Schmittian picking-an-enemy as the core of your identity—is no way to go through life, son. * Nor is artfully screenshotting in order to make sure your readers do not see the sentence just below the ones you quote.* Don't pick bad and stupid ends to advocate for—anarcho-pastoralism, the elimination of the United States or America, abolishing police, abolishing prisons, degrowth, destroying statues of Ulysses S. Grant, calling for the cancellation of Abraham Lincoln.* Do think, always: will this post advance humanity's collective smartness as an anthology intelligence?* Don't call for throwing public money at nonprofits in urban America.* Advocate for a political focus on social issues only when they are ripe—when the pro-freedom and pro-flourishing position is genuinely popular.* But the Democratic Party and the left can and should focus on both economic and social issues—and should be smart about doing so.* Blue-state politicians should be willing to press the envelope on social issues—witness Gavin Newsom as mayor of San Francisco on gay marriage.* Purple-state politicians should stress that this is a free country for free people, which means:* economic opportunity…* social freedom—you should be able to live your life without the government harassing you, and without neighbors and merchants harassing you by refusing service when their job is to serve the public…* collective wealth…* collective concern—global warming may not be so bad for you in the medium-run, but it is a serious medium-run problem for those SOBs in Florida and Louisiana, and for rural communities at the wildfire edge…* Red-state politicians need our thoughts and prayers.* Policy analysts and legislative tacticians should design and implement policies that are:* successes…* visible, perceived successes…* that build coalitions by the wide of visible distribution of their benefits…* but that do not allow individual coalition partners to become veto point owners: seats at the table, yes; dogs in the manger, no…* Left-wing think-tanks should not take money from “leftists” who want to use procedural obstacles to block green investments in their backyards.* Hexapodia!References:* Preliminary Food for Thought for Þe “Hexapodia” Taping:* Brianna Wu: ‘There's a huge schism… Policy Leftists and Infinite Leftists…* Matt Yglesias: The two kinds of progressives: ‘Moralists vs. pragmatists…* Ezra Klein: The Problem With Everything-Bagel Liberalism: ‘Cost, not just productivity, is a core problem for the U.S. semiconductor manufacturing industry…* Brad DeLong: Pass the Baton…* Noah Smith: Our climate change debates are out of date…* Noah Smith: Degrowth: We can't let it happen here!…* Noah Smith: ‘Once you realize that the animating drive of all NIMBYism on both the left and the right is to be able to live in perpetually-appreciating single-family homes with no poor people nearby, everything they say becomes instantly comprehensible and intensely boring.* Rocket Podcast +, of course:* Vernor Vinge: A Fire Upon the Deep  Get full access to Brad DeLong's Grasping Reality at braddelong.substack.com/subscribe

HOW MANY OF US AS AMERICANS WOULD LIKE IT IF NOT ONLY ALL OUR ACCOMPLISHMENTS, BUT ALL OUR SINS WERE TO BE RECORDED IN THE BIBLE AS WAS ESAU AND JACOB'S ACCOMPLISHMENTS AND SINS RECORDED. THIS TELL US SOMETHING ABOUT THE NATURE OF GOD, DOES IT NOT, THAT ALL THOSE SINS THAT WERE COVERED UP AT OUR FUNERAL BY OUR FAMILY AND FRIENDS, GOD HAS NO PROBLEM LETTING THE ENTIRE WORLD IN ON THE COVERUP. WE ALSO WILL FIND OUT THAT GOD HAD NO PROBLEM TELLING THE WHOLE WORLD THAT JACOB WAS ELECTED TO GO TO HEAVEN BEFORE HE WAS BORN AND HIS TWIN BROTHER WAS NOT ELECTED, BUT NEITHER ONE OF THEM KNEW IF THEY WERE ONE OF THE ELECT WHEN THEY WERE BORN INTO THIS WORLD, BUT THEIR MOTHER REBECCA DID KNOW AND IF SHE DID TELL JACOB OR ISAAC, NEITHER ONE OF THEM LIVED THEIR LIVES AS IF THEY DID KNOW AND THUS WE WILL SEE NOT ONLY ESAU'S SIN ON DISPLAY BUT ALSO BOTH JACOB AND HIS FATHER'S SIN ON DISPLAY ALONG WITH REBECCA'S SIN. WE WHO AS AMERICANS WHO ARE OF THE ELECT MAY BE MORALISTS WHO HAVE TO REPENT OR FLAGRANT SINNERS WHO HAVE TO REPENT, BUT TRUE REPENTANCE IS IMPOSSIBLE BEFORE WE BECOME A NEW CREATION FOR TRUE REPENTANCE COMES INTACT WITH NATURE OF THE NEW CREATION AND THUS WE AS NATURAL MAN AMERICANS ARE COMMANDED TO RUN THE RACE TO BECOME A NEW CREATION COUPLED WITH PRAYER WHETHER WE BE A MORALIST OR FLAGRANT SINNER THAT JESUS' FATHER MAY REVEAL JESUS TO US BEFORE WE DIE. BUT EVEN IF WE ARE A NEW CREATION WE ARE COMMANDED TO RUN TO WIN FOR MANY OF US WHO HAVE 100% ASSURANCE THAT WE ARE A NEW CREATION WILL END UP BEING A REPROBATE AND THUS FORMER MR. MORALITY HIMSELF TELL US THAT HE IS GOING TO TAKE NO CHANCES OF BEING A REPROBATE. 1COR. 9: [23] And this I do for the gospel's sake, that I might be partaker thereof with you. [24] Know ye not that they which run in a race run all, but one receiveth the prize? So run, that ye may obtain. [25] And every man that striveth for the mastery is temperate in all things. Now they do it to obtain a corruptible crown; but we an incorruptible. [26] I therefore so run, not as uncertainly; so fight I, not as one that beateth the air: [27] But I keep under my body, and bring it into subjection: lest that by any means, when I have preached to others, I myself should be a castaway. LIKEWISE FISHERMAN PETER WARNS US IF THE SAME THING: 2PET. 2: [19] While they promise them liberty, they themselves are the servants of corruption: for of whom a man is overcome, of the same is he brought in bondage. [20] For if after they have escaped the pollutions of the world through the knowledge of the Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, they are again entangled therein, and overcome, the latter end is worse with them than the beginning. [21] For it had been better for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than, after they have known it, to turn from the holy commandment delivered unto them. [22] But it is happened unto them according to the true proverb, The dog is turned to his own vomit again; and the sow that was washed to her wallowing in the mire.

This is a very well-known section of Romans. Paul will speak of self-evidence.  Although what is knowable of God is enough to convict a man for ignoring Him, it isn't enough to be saved.  Yet, it leaves us without excuse and it also suppresses the truth of God evident in Creation by perpetuating the lie that the Creation is God which is paganism.  But not everyone in society participates to the same degree in these behaviors although some will condone it.  This gives rise to judgments connecting paganism to moralism.

The term Hell's Kitchen was first used in America in the 1800s to refer to a particular area in Manhattan (west of 8th Avenue to the Hudson River and north and south from 34th Street to 59th street to be exact) that, by the 1850s, became mostly populated by Irish immigrants, with a small mixture of Jewish, Italian and German immigrants sprinkled amongst them, who had come to America to escape the Great Potato Famine. As is the case with most origin stories, the true meaning of the term can only be deciphered by digging through a sea of both mythos and fact. The truth is that no one knows the exact reason why the term Hell's Kitchen was used to describe the area, but we can certainly take some educated guesses. A possible explanation was the downright barbaric working conditions that came along with working on the various tanneries, railroads and docks in the area. To give you an idea of what it was like working in or living near a tannery in 1800s America, this excerpt from "Hemlock and Hide: The Tanbark Industry in Old New York" by Hugh O. Canham sums it up pretty well, "Life in a tannery town was tough. The work was hard manual labor. Living next to a tannery meant the constant stench of curing leather and stagnant pools of waste material. Streams became heavily polluted as tanning liquors, lime solutions, flesh, and hair were discharged directly into them..." Some of the workers worked twelve hour days with only Sundays off, some worked only part time, while others only worked seasonally, camping out on the tannery property during pealing season. Accidents and deaths while building the railroads were common place. It was not uncommon to see longshoremen work all day to transport goods in and out of the country. The work was no cake walk so there was plenty of opportunity for crime to start developing in the area, which offered more money for less work. A few of the major organized crime units in the area were The Hell's Kitchen Gang, The Gopher Gang and The Parlor Mob. They offered "protection" to local businesses by forcing those businesses to pay them off...or else. They also ran illegal gambling operations. The famous reference to sleep with the fishes applies here, as many of the people who challenged the gangs ended up in the Hudson River for a permanent vacation. The gangs also fought with each other, attempting to gain hegemony over incoming goods from distant lands (the early days of the American black market, which still thrives to this day), as well as the labor unions. During prohibition, these crimes intensified as the mob bosses warred over who had control of the illegal alcohol market. Mob bosses profited so much that they even tried their hand in the entertainment industry, investing in the Cotton Club. During the Great Depression, the mob took further control by offering jobs to the populous after shaking down various businesses. During WWII, the mobs robbed boats of armaments being sent over to Europe. Crime spread rapidly. Fear gripped America. The established order, what little there was to begin with, was set aflame. You may not realize it, but you are now living in such a time. Jobs are scarce. Tyrants are threatening nuclear war. Crime is rampant. Moralists are calling for bans on all kinds of drugs and normal behaviors like sexual experimentation, which create even more opportunities for the black market to thrive, and thrive it will, as long as you let yourself be lead astray by the descendants of these mad men you call leaders. If you make a deal with the devil, if you sell yourself out to Russian oligarchs and American monopoly men, you have to be able to stand the heat when you get burned, or you have to get out of Hell's Kitchen. You can suffer for awhile and have your integrity when you come out on top or you can climb on top of people and bully your way to the bottom, perhaps of the Hudson River if you're not too careful. Now, let's get cooking. Some like it hot. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/morecontentplease/support

Christ Centered Discipleship – Forgiveness, Matt. 6:12 By Louie Marsh, 10-17-2021   Forgiving = giving up MYSELF   SHOW 6 PICTURES ABOUT FORGIVENESS Disciples of Jesus Forgive… As Jesus COMMANDED   12 and forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors. Matthew 6:12 (ESV) Why Do We Forgive? Today we are told we forgive FOR OURSELVES. Remember, you don't forgive someone for his or her sake - you forgive them for your sake.

What Does the New Testament Say? Because GOD has forgiven me.   30 And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, by whom you were sealed for the day of redemption. 31 Let all bitterness and wrath and anger and clamor and slander be put away from you, along with all malice. 32 Be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, as God in Christ forgave you. Ephesians 4:30-32 (ESV) “To be a Christian means to forgive the inexcusable because God has forgiven the inexcusable in you.”  - CS Lewis   To MODEL Jesus before the world.   35 But love your enemies, and do good, and lend, expecting nothing in return, and your reward will be great, and you will be sons of the Most High, for he is kind to the ungrateful and the evil. 36 Be merciful, even as your Father is merciful. Luke 6:35-36 (ESV)   14 “You are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hidden. 15 Nor do people light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a stand, and it gives light to all in the house. 16 In the same way, let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father who is in heaven. Matthew 5:14-16 (ESV)   20 For what credit is it if, when you sin and are beaten for it, you endure? But if when you do good and suffer for it you endure, this is a gracious thing in the sight of God. 21 For to this you have been called, because Christ also suffered for you, leaving you an example, so that you might follow in his steps. 22 He committed no sin, neither was deceit found in his mouth. 23 When he was reviled, he did not revile in return; when he suffered, he did not threaten, but continued entrusting himself to him who judges justly. 1 Peter 2:20-23 (ESV)   The Essence of Discipleship: FORSAKING self & BECOMING LIKE   23 And he said to all, “If anyone would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross daily and follow me. 24 For whoever would save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for my sake will save it.

Disciple Up # 197 A Disciple's Identity Pt. 4: Staying Hungry! (Plus the Coup In Burma) By Louie Marsh, 2-3-2021   1)    I seek God's righteousness NOT MY OWN since I have forsaken self.   6  “Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they shall be satisfied.  Matthew 5:6 (ESV)   This is the key stone in the arch of the Beatitudes. A Christian mourns his own righteousness and seeks that which only comes from Jesus. If I have His righteousness then no one else's matters   21  But now the righteousness of God has been manifested apart from the law, although the Law and the Prophets bear witness to it— 22  the righteousness of God through faith in Jesus Christ for all who believe. For there is no distinction: Romans 3:21-22 (ESV)   What is righteousness? Righteousness = approved; Rightness = accepted   I don't hunger for BLESSINGSbut for righteousness.   We hunger for a righteousness we don't have. It is not our own.   This cannot be part of my character if I'm a moralist.   Moralist – very upright, smug, self-righteous Christian – meek and moral, humble and at peace with God and others   Moralists can do the first 3 beatitudes but not the 4th.    2)    My hunger is huge – I want ALL GOD'S RIGHTEOUSNESS.   Accusative case here = whole loaf Genitive = of  - this mean perfect righteousness not just partial.   21  so that, as sin reigned in death, grace also might reign through righteousness leading to eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. Romans 5:21 (ESV)   30  And because of him you are in Christ Jesus, who became to us wisdom from God, righteousness and sanctification and redemption, 1 Corinthians 1:30 (ESV)   35  Jesus said to them, “I am the bread of life; whoever comes to me shall not hunger, and whoever believes in me shall never thirst. John 6:35 (ESV)   We all sense the truth of this passage before we're taught to ignore it.   Article Sited:   https://www.christianitytoday.com/news/2021/january/covid-19-religion-survey-pew-pandemic-strengthened-faith.html

Moralists, prohibitionists and public health make for an unhealthy mix, for thousands of Canadians who teeter on the losing end of mass anti-vaping hysteria Watch the full episode "Got it Wrong" Only on RegWatch by RegulatorWatch.com Streamed: December 5, 2019 Produced by: Brent Stafford This episode is supported by: STLTH Make RegWatch happen, go to: support(dot)regulatorwatch(dot)com

An Economist/YouGov poll asks respondents if they’d back “a presidential candidate who has done immoral acts in private life.” A full 48 percent of Republicans find it acceptable, but only 19 percent of Democrats agree. After three-decades of Democratic infatuation with the profoundly imperfect Bill and Hillary, this counts as a shock. Yes, these attitudes reflect the polarized response to the current incumbent but other factors make the GOP less judgmental than the stereotype. More common identification with religion helps Republicans see “immoral acts in private” as nearly universal, so they pick the most capable sinner. It’s liberals who view politics as life’s highest calling, while conservatives look askance at politicians in general, while feeling ready to trade a bit of private imperfection for a lot of public competence.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

This week our guest is Tibet Sprague, former solar energy system manager and scholar-practitioner in search of sustainable alternatives to our unhealthy post-industrial communities.http://tibetsprague.com for all social links, writings, and project infoWe discuss:What it was like for Tibet growing up in a healthy community.The difference between communities online and in person.The possibility of a virtual nation, a modern silk road of digital nomads moving in between communities……but the issues with that, primarily its unsustainability, and the importance of working to create local communities and tribes.The tension between freedom and fullness of living, independence and interdependence as valued differently by different societies.What does it truly mean to be free and to have a society that promotes freedom?How our individual drives are sculpted by the agencies of our environments and the people with whom we surround ourselves – so even the drive for independence is a symptom of our interrelatedness.The challenge of building a decentralized society of loners and how culture itself may be the one true technological solution.“My thinking about what I want to work on in the world has headed from initially thinking, ‘Oh, climate change is the most important thing to be focusing on right now, obviously,’ to ‘Maybe we can’t really resolve our climate issues without changing capitalism and changing our economic system that requires constant growth,’ and ‘Oh, well, maybe we can’t actually change our economic system without a culture that changes people’s relationships with each other, and with money, and with the world.”“I think a lot of individual work, personal growth work, each one of us doing our own work to resolve the things in us that prevent us from living our most enlivened selves and bringing our gifts into the world, is really important.”How Charles Eisenstein helps us articulate the core problems of, and potential solutions to, the crisis of our current age:From separation to oneness, from scarcity to abundance.The crisis of imagination that we don’t think it’s possible for our planet to provide for everyone.Universal Basic Income - how it could liberate us to get culture right, or how it could be poorly implemented and create new problems. Charles Stress’ novel Singularity Sky as one example of how unprecedented sudden affluence can ruin a society.Might it not be for a very good reason that massively disruptive technologies we WANT (like free energy) are being (or ought to be) WISELY suppressed by the system (and/or ruling classes)?Ramez Naam’s Nexus Trilogy as a model for how society might variously adopt and resist disruptive technologies – how technological telepathy specifically might be used by a variety of different factions, and suppressed by nation-states that want whatever vestige of control remains in eras of extraordinary change…Tamera Healing Biotope in Portugal and their experiments in community living, the healing of interpersonal issues, processing group needs, and building toward a future that includes and nourishes us all.The role of fearless love and re-imagined intimate relationships in new modes of community designed for peace.The difficulty of making powerfully positive but culturally unusual steps toward love free from fear. The Sex 3.0 Wiki and understanding sexuality as a cultural phenomenon shaped by the distributed agency of our technological surround – the enclosure and ownership of land, paternity, etc. all contributing in big ways to our current preference for monogamous mate claiming partnership.The relationship between digital society (with its emphasis on sharing everything) and the resurgence of nonmonogamy.Mystics and Moralists as two responses to change.The plurality of belief systems, adaptability, and resilience.“We can embrace the fullness and complexity of everything that’s happening in a balanced way that I believe will lead to a much more harmonious way of being on the planet.”Moving out of an age of answers and into an age of questions…The invention of Inheritance Day and the awesome idea of a new holiday in which we honor our ancestors and realize that we, too, are ancestors.And lastly, just a dash of speculation on the Simulated Universe Theory and our participation in what Tibet calls “this fractal godhood…”“If the future is watching, then don’t you want to say something valuable?” – MG See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

The Relentless Advance of the Gospel

There are many who consider themselves to be part of the people of God because they have the outward signs of the people of God – they affirm the Bible and can point to their baptism. But in this passage Paul addresses the truth that the outward marks...

Many think that if God judges anyone it will be those who are obviously bad. But those who mean well and do the right thing (at least most of the time), well certainly God will approve of their lives. In this section of Romans Paul shows us that it...
