Love this podcast !

Yes, ours was a ”suffering Messiah.” As followers, we should expect no less. Yes, it would be nice not to, but we shouldn’t be surprised if we do.

Funny how often I’ve read the term ”Jew and Gentile” never even considering it from a concept of being racial. Well done.

It’s ok to be ”people aware,” but our focus should always be Jesus aware.

So true. We have stuff in boxes we haven’t opened in years. Approximately 1/3 of our garage is storage for stuff.

You mentioned social media and vanity. Yes, alot of our social media does appear to be vanity driven. Good point.

As Christians, what God says is all that matters.

Only certain experts are given a voice and they are more often than not given a voice because they have made certain agreements, or compromised in some way and do not promote accurate information. Many experts we didn't hear from disagreed with what was being said & done because it contradicted longstanding tried and true well researched and tested science.

If masks protect others, as they've told us, why would unvaccinated people need to wear masks to protect people who are protected by the vaccine? You can't change the rules in the middle of the game.

The chicken example ignores that necrophilic beastiality or beastiality is a sexual transgression against your own body. The more I process your examples, the more important it is that I know what God's says is right and wrong.

Consent doesn't mean nobody is being hurt. Damage can still occur. Consent may be arrived at through poor judgment, lack of information or misinformation, deception, etc.

What says it's wrong to me to consensual kill and eat another person is what God says about people being created by Himself in His own image. I may have "tastebuds" but they are not the determining factor for anything. God determines right and wrong, not people. People deciding for themselves what's right and wrong is what caused the fall in the Garden of Eden. We aren't wise or unbiased enough to sort out and implement all these ways to determine right abs wrong, so God did it for us.

Does the Old Testament portray God's character as a Globalist, or Nationalist?

Would Jesus be "weirded out" by homeless tents near His house? Would He prioritize His property value over the ought if these people? As Christ followers, we are to have His perspective and actually live it out, as Jesus did. For us, that supercedes definitions of categories like care and harm for instance. This is getting lost in your presentation. Hopefully the focus is redirected to this.

The literal definition of the word liberty is "the power or scope to act as one pleases without restrictions imposed by authority." If one in authority requires you to get a vaccine, that is the definition of infringement. Saying "Your liberty is not being infringed, I'm sorry," is interjecting bias by stating an opinion as fact. TMBT started out string and credible. Please take care not to compromise that integrity.

In Patrick's example of Kamala Harris not wanting the vaccine with her stated reason being that it was pushed through for use too fast, it seemed there was a grand generalization made about Republicans as a group. It is presented that the same people who criticized her for not wanting the vaccine then turned around and refused it themselves, when it was actually different individuals in the same party (Republican) expressing their personal opinions and exercising their autonomy.

We've seen in the past that her immunity generally occurs when as low as 30% of the population are vaccinated since there are 2 more people with natural immunity for every 1 person with vaccination immunity, bringing it to 90% of population with immunity.

Are you aware that the World Health Organization changed the definition of immunity to no longer include naturally acquired immunity, but only immunity from vaccination? I expect to see a trickle-down spread of that misinformation. So when the mantra is that we need to have 75% or greater of the population vaccinated to achieve herd immunity, that's a gross exaggeration. The foundational science of viruses and immunity did not suddenly change.

Yes! People refer to magazine articles, quotes of talk show hosts, news reports, opinions by certain people, and all routes of studies as "the science." Scientific data and conclusions are found in research that meets certain criteria. Some research is done according to more stringent requirements than other research. Even Gold-Standard research can have allowed variables that skew the results. It's important to take even those conclusions with an open hand.

It would probably be prudent to refrain from using extremely negative hyperbole like "idiot" and "psychopath."
