Many Aussies find Christianity offensive these days. But most people miss the real reason to be offended by what Scripture says. It has a lot to do with Good Friday. What should really offend us, and what do we do about it? Listen along as we answer these questions from Romans 5.

Dive into thought-provoking discussions on Healthy and Awake Podcast where we explore the rising culture of being easily offended and its threat to intellectual bravery, deriving possibly from personal weakness or indoctrination. Determining its negative implications such as censorship and communication barriers, we shed light on fostering compassion without compromising personal convictions. Moving further, we analyze Trevor Moore's comedic music video 'Bullies', addressing the potential issues when all forms of bullying are eradicated, hinting at the creation of a fragile, easily offended society and individuals with confused identities. Stay tuned for our following expansive series on gender confusion. __________________________________________________________________ ⏳ Check out "Creating Time Wealth" Early Bird Presale: https://www.redpillhealthandwellness.com/creating-time-wealth-landing-page

Sunday, July 23, 2023 // Preacher : Andrew Kim // Mark 6:1-6

Sunday July 2, 2023 By Jim Grumbine John 2:23-3:15

Rev. Clay Wooten

We must decide who Jesus is. (v. 18-23) We must decide who John the Baptist is. (v. 24-28) We must decide who we will be. (v. 29-35)

First, we talk about the good and the bad of social media. Then we talk about bullying. But we don't talk about them in a normal way--Oh, no, no. As you'd expect, we give them the Our Undoing treatment!

Have you ever been frustrated with God? Ever felt like He wasn't there when you needed Him the most? Do the claims of Jesus make you uncomfortable? Do you find Jesus offensive?Many people in the world today too. And if we're honest - as Christians - it can be equally as hard to reckon with the words of Jesus when they target an area that we struggle in. What do we do with our grievances against God? Can He handle them?In Matthew 11 - we see that we aren't the first to be "offended" by Jesus. Even John the Baptist - the "forerunner" of Jesus was confused and hurt by His ministry. But what did John do with his hurt? How did Jesus respond?Take a listen, and be encouraged to deal with your difficulties with God in an honest, productive way.

In this message, Pastor Mark talks about the offensiveness of the parable of the Good Samaritan. Our culture has domesticated this story by making it about helping strangers in need. But there is more to this story than meets the eye, and seeing it makes us wince. Indeed, it turns our world upside down! Nevertheless, it is precisely the offensiveness of the story that gives us a glimpse into the heart and will of God.

Joined by Travis Box, we continue our discussion of Offensiveness, and that turns to phobias and the sftest places on our psychies.

Intrusion on seclusion is one of the four privacy torts created under U.S. common law. Intrusion on seclusion is commonly thought to be the bread-and-butter claim for an "invasion of privacy". Seclusion is defined as the state of being private and away from people. Elements. The elements of an intrusion on seclusion claim are: The defendant intentionally intruded upon the plaintiff's seclusion or private concerns. The intrusion would be highly offensive to a reasonable person. The intrusion caused the plaintiff anguish and suffering. There is no requirement that the defendant disclosed any facts about the plaintiff, as in a public disclosure claim. Liability attaches to the intrusion itself. Intent. Someone "commits an intentional intrusion only if he believes, or is substantially certain, that he lacks the necessary legal or personal permission to commit the intrusive act." For example, the Veterans Administration did not intrude on a patient's seclusion when it believed that it had the patient's consent to disclose his medical records. The intent element is subjective, based on what the defendant actually knew or believed about whether it had consent or legal permission, whereas the offensiveness element is judged under an objective standard, based on whether a reasonable person would consider the intrusion to be highly offensive. Seclusion. In order to intrude on someone's seclusion, the person must have a "legitimate expectation of privacy" in the physical place or personal affairs intruded upon. To be successful, a plaintiff "must show the defendant penetrated some zone of physical or sensory privacy" or "obtained unwanted access to data" in which the plaintiff had "an objectively reasonable expectation of seclusion or solitude in the place, conversation or data source." For example, a delicatessen employee told co-workers that she had a staph infection. The co-workers then informed their manager, who contacted the employee's doctor to determine if she actually had a staph infection, because employees in Arkansas with a communicable disease are forbidden from working in the food preparation industry. The employee with the staph infection sued her employer, the deli, for intruding on her private affairs. The court held that the deli manager had not intruded upon the worker's private affairs because the worker had made her staph infection public by telling her two co-workers about it. The court said: "When Fletcher learned that she had a staph infection, she informed two coworkers of her condition. Fletcher's revelation of private information to coworkers eliminated Fletcher's expectation of privacy by making what was formerly private a topic of office conversation." Offensiveness. In determining whether an intrusion is objectively "highly offensive," a court is supposed to examine "all the circumstances of an intrusion, including the motives or justification of the intruder." Websites' Data Collection. A website may commit a "highly offensive" act by collecting information from website visitors using "duplicitous tactics." A website that violates its own privacy policy does not automatically commit a highly offensive act. But the Third Circuit Court of Appeals has held that Viacom's data collection on the Nickelodeon website was highly offensive because the privacy policy may have deceptively caused parents to allow their young children to use Nick.com, thinking it was not collecting their personal information. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/law-school/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/law-school/support

February has been set aside for recognizing the achievements of black folks. It was the mission of Dr. Carter G. Woodson for Black History to be a year round and year after year study of African American history. However, some of our "fine" citizens of the United States of America find this to be offensive. In what maybe Ollie Mac's most controversial episode to date, take a listen as he ventures into a new, bold and relevant discussion on why this offensiveness exists and what we need to do going forward. "About Black History Month" https://asalh.org/about-us/about-black-history-month/ "People of Color" was first mentioned in "Act Prohibiting the Importation of Slaves" which was passed in January 1808. https://www.archives.gov/education/lessons/slave-trade.html --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/conversationswitholliemac/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/conversationswitholliemac/support

Offensiveness and the cancel culture is on the rise. In a world that’s so easily offended, how can Christians be freed from the sin of offense?

After some brief research I discovered that the logo for the in questions Redskins, is actually of a Native American, by a Native American and is anything but disrespectful.

Football fans let the team names for Kansas City and San Francisco roll off their tongues with no second thought. But both mascots for the teams playing for the championship cause many Native people to cringe. The Chiefs often face protests by Native people to change their name, mascot and the offensive imagery that arises every game they play. The 49ers refers to more than just a number; it invokes a bloody time in history when thousands of Indigenous people were killed or displaced by settlers hoping to strike it rich in California. We’ll take time to fill in some of the missing details behind this year’s Super Bowl team names.

Jonah 4:1-11

In most social circles today, if you announce that you’re a Buddhist, that’s cool; you’re like a celebrity. If you say you’re into yoga retreats, that’s wonderful. Even if you say you’re a Christian (understood as Protestant) everything is still more or less groovy, unless you’re one of those fundamentalist types that believes Jesus really rose from the dead. But announce you’re Catholic? Better get ready for the inquisition. Tim Staples knows all about it. Tim was raised Southern Baptist, later became an Assemblies of God youth pastor, and is now the director of apologetics and evangelization at Catholic Answers. In this interview, Tim goes off-road to talk about life as a Catholic in a post-modern culture. How has the papacy of Pope Francis been a game changer? Some have implied or accused Pope Francis of being a heretic. Tim weighs in with his take. Last year was the commemoration of the 500th anniversary of the revolt now called the Protestant Reformation. How can Catholics talk about about the breakaway that had led to constant, and predictable, splinterization of so many different denominations, each contradicting the others is various ways? And what is ecumenism, anyway? What should the endgame be for our prayers “for Christian unity”? Tim Staples has been debating, writing about, and pondering all these questions for 30 years. Listen and learn.   In this episode you will learn: Specific examples of how to interact with people who disagree How life as a Catholic is, in a certain sense, different under the unpredictable papacy of Pope Francis Why ecumenism can’t possibly mean merely being nice and collaborating on projects How to recover from an awkward start to an interview! That Jesus Christ founded one Church Much more!

How do we rectify the exclusive claims of Christ with our inclusive and sensitive culture?

Hey everybody! We are continuing in our Lent series. In the previous three episodes (part one, part two, and part three) we explored the “take from me” segments of this prayer. The next few episodes are the ones I have been dreading, because frankly, I do not know anything about these virtues. So, I am coming today not as a teacher, but as a fellow pilgrim. Today we will focus on chastity and humility. The Lenten Prayer of Saint Ephrem O Lord and Master of my life! Take from me the spirit of sloth, faint-heartedness, lust for power, and idle talk. But give rather the spirit of chastity, humility, patience and love to Your servant. Yes, O Lord and King! Grant me to see my own errors and not to judge my brother; For You are blessed unto ages of ages. Amen. Chastity: In 2015 I wrote this article on Chastity "Religion has too often been an agent of anti-life, a negation of the goodness of God’s creation. We fast, we abstain, we humble ourselves, we embrace discipline, and we speak of dying to ourselves. When not seen through the prism of life these things are so morbid. No wonder Ayn Rand hated religion. If her understanding of our faith were the reality of our faith, I would join her in her hatred of Christianity. When separated from the life and joy of God these disciplines become a mockery of the God of joy, life, goodness, and abundance. The disciplines are intended to prune the branches on our tree of life in order that we may enjoy even more fruit. We fast not because food is bad or our bodies are evil. We fast to prune the life-giving branch on the tree of life. Then, when we give thanks for the meal we join our voice with the ancient prayer, “Blessed are you, O Lord, who brings forth bread from the earth.” We discipline our lives not to negate the joy and goodness of living, but rather to prune the fruit bearing tree so that we can enjoy even more life and goodness. Who better enjoys food: the gluttonous man who remains un-satiated regardless of how often he returns to the buffet line, or the disciple who has tempered his appetite through fasting and prayer so that he enjoys a proper and life-giving relationship with his food and drink? Lent reminds me to prune the branches on the tree of life. Lent reminds me, “Every branch that bears fruit will be pruned.” Lent reminds me, “For the moment all discipline seems painful rather than pleasant, but later it yields the peaceful fruit of righteousness.” The beginning virtue is “chastity.” The word group the New Testament uses for “chastity” is, strictly speaking, untranslatable. The best we can do is translating it, “of sound mind,” “to be of sound mind,” “to bring someone to their senses,” “moderate, self-disciplined,” “moderation, self-control,” or “temperance.” “Wholeness” may be the best current translation. The idea is a spiritual health, a correct and appropriate way of reasoning, and a moderation that is expressed in inner equilibrium. It is the virtue of temperance that overcomes the passions, bringing the whole person to a place of wholeness in Christ. This “chastity” or “temperance” was ranked along with prudence, justice, and courage as the four cardinal virtues. By the time “chastity” has worked its way to us it has retained a limited understanding of its original content. It has been reduced to refer only to a person’s sexual habits. While unfortunate, this is reduction is understandable. Where else is the broken character of our existence better revealed than here, in this most intimate of places? Don’t get me wrong. Sex is God’s idea. He created it to be a sacred and satisfying union between husband and wife. It is a living icon of the soul’s longing for union with God. As God’s idea it is beautiful, healing, loving, and sanctifying. It is so powerful and dangerous it must be safely confined within the bonds of the covenant of marriage between man and woman. Anything less is missing the mark of what God has designed and what we truly desire and need. Everything else strays from the path of healing and sanctifying grace the marriage bed was intended to be. This is why all forms of sexual immorality are called sin: It “misses the mark.” It does not fulfill the purpose of what God intended. It may be pleasurable for a moment; but it leaves less of you, not more. Outside of God’s perfect design it diminishes you. Chastity is not a negation of the joys of physical love and intimacy. It is the pruning of a fruitful branch on the tree of life. Through chastity we are no longer like animals satisfying instinctual and biological needs, but rather we are human beings made fully alive expressing the most intimate, tender, beautiful, and life affirming union between two equals. Here we find the fullest satisfaction. The life of the body is no longer alienated from the control of the spirit. We willingly give our self to the other in the beautiful mystery of deepest exchange, the two becoming one in body as well as soul. Intimately dangerous, capable of the deepest healing or destruction, the longing, open, and vulnerable couple meets in the secret chamber to become one in this most intimate dance of marriage. Chastity is awe’s response to this glorious mystery. Chastity-temperance-wholeness is to have its complete work in my whole being. Here, in Lent, I cry out to God, “Give me the spirit of chastity, wholeness, self-discipline, a sound mind…” One of the most beautiful places the word for “wholeness” is used in the New Testament is the story of when Jesus delivered a man from a legion of demons. Mark says the man was “clothed, and in his right mind” (Mk 5:15). Jesus clothed his nakedness and healed his brokenness. This is what “wholeness/chastity” means. This is what I long for. This is what I pray for. This is what He does for me." Humility. Luke 18:9-14 Contempt for others is the fruit of self-righteousness. (self-justification) Self-righteousness: I am not like those people! The absence of humilty leads to graceless living – Offensiveness. How do I respond when I feel people do not treat me as I deserve? “So you also, when you have done all that you were commanded, say, ‘We are unworthy servants; we have only done what was our duty.’ ”” (Luke 17:10, ESV) “I tell you, this man went down to his house justified, rather than the other. For everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, but the one who humbles himself will be exalted.”” (Luke 18:14, ESV) Prayer: Give rather… I do not have it in me. Create in me a clean heart, O God.

Sermon for Sunday Morning, August 30, 2015

Special guest Yoel Inbar (author of Hitchcock’s Women: From Margaret Sullivan to Tippi Hedren) joins us to talk about Hitchcock’s long take masterpiece/gimmick Rope. Based loosely on the case of Leopold and Loeb, Rope tells the story of two young men who have read Nietzsche and decide to murder a schoolmate in order to cement their Übermensch status. Did they read Nietzsche correctly? Is conventional morality nothing but a construct to keep the inferior masses in line? Are professors accountable for what they teach? (Please God, no.) Plus, we delve deeper into Julie and Mark’s motivation, and Yoel plays a round of “Does the government deem this trademark scandalous?”  LinksYoel Inbar [yoelinbar.net]Very Bad Wizards Episode 22: An Enquiry Concerning Slurs and Offensiveness [verybadwizards.com]Rope [IMDB.com]Leopold and Loeb [wikipedia.org]Leopold and Loeb's Criminal Minds (Smithsonian Magazine)The Leopold and Loeb Trial Page (UMKC Law)Paul Gauguin [wikipedia.org]The Moon and Sixpence by W. Somerset Maugham [wikipedia.org]Nietzsche's Moral and Political Philosophy [plato.stanford.edu]Damasio, A. "Remembering When," Scientific American, 2002. [antonellapavese.com]What's the matter with a little brother sister action? by Tamler Sommers [psychologytoday.com]

David Gentleman speaks

Josh concludes his interview with Jojo Ruba, former staff member of the Canadian Centre for Bio-Ethical Reform and Executive Director of Faith Beyond Belief. After talking about the mission of Faith Beyond Belief, Josh asks a follow-up question from the previous episode, where Jojo made a comment about pro-lifers needing to be "more offensive." Josh asks, "How can you tell whether you should be more offensive or less offensive when talking to pro-choice people?" Afterwards Jojo and Josh answer a listener mail question from Mark in Hawaii: "I'm a new listener, and I'm trying to figure out exactly what your views are regarding human development and when a person comes into being and should be granted human rights. Most importantly and perhaps most difficult, when do you believe God endues a body/soul carrier with a soul in human fetal development and what are your reasons for that?" The episode includes a discussion of the Equal Rights Argument that Josh and the Justice For All team have been using lately, and what Jojo and Josh think about animal rights.

In what might very well be the last episode before we're pulled off the air, Tamler outlines his data-free "theory" of what makes something offensive. What makes a joke about race, ethnicity, gender, disability funny sometimes, and deeply hurtful at other times? What makes Louis CK so goddamn funny and Andrew Dice Clay just...an asshole? Is Family Guy racist? Throughout the episode, David defends the victims of hatred and is a voice of empathy and reason, while Tamler drops the c-word multiple times, jumps to racist conclusions, and makes fun of David's partial Arab heritage. LinksLouis CK and his friends discuss the word f@**%tWikipedia on F**** and C*** [wikipedia.org]Bill Burr on the c-word [youtube.com]Andy Ihnatko's podcast on 5by5.tv, where he discusses why Family Guy is not funnyThe Troubling Viral Trend of the “Hilarious” Black Neighbor by Aisha Harris [slate.com]
