Steve Gregg's two volume "Empire of the Risen Son" is also excellent on this topic.

It would defintly have to be N.T Wright ever since 99 when i meet him and was encouraged to go deepervin faith. Thus going to seminary in2001.

The alabaster analogy to the artist, mentioned at the end, was brilliant. Malcolm Guite is a fellow pilgrim on life's path. A soul friend, good company and an amiable conversationalist.

Christians being the 'new' hypocrites I notice.

Thank you Sam George for the deep insight you've shared in this podcast especially listening and building relationships with fellow Christian faiths to know more about their backgrounds and communities and in so doing we can win them to our Jesus.

Amazing scholar

Wear is selling out, the evidence after Dobbs within states has proved the opposite yet he wants to sound a warning to justify voting for anyone but Trump, evidence by his lack of credit for supreme court justices appointed by Trump who handed down the Dobbs decision. He goes on to cast doubt on one issue voters as not thought out, trying to disguise his personal dislike for Trump and his evangelical supporters. One has to question Wear if he is sincere in his overall long term assessment of where this will lead or is he trying to sway evangelical voters. His compromise on abortion speaks for itself, I suggest everyone do due diligence in reading for yourself.

The host's laugh is so annoying. It seems more like a nervous tick than a genuine response.

AMAZING

Heiser❤

Just epic! 😅 "My superpower is apathy". 🤣Lol. Dr. M.S. Heiser was awesome. I love him and his teachings/debunkings/explanations.. so much. He was and still is a "Light Shedder" on Scripture and it`s meaning. His personality was so unique and wonderfully humorous in a stoic way and with a twinkling in his eye. 😊❤

What a gracious guest to have on your show! I mean, to put up with those first five questions…he is a man for us to learn from with regard to suffering fools.

I totally agree with the judgment being a chapter, or act all unto itself between the present age and eternity. As said, it is a culminating moment in redemption history.

...and only Thor is worthy to weild mjolnir

"The better way to be.." is not forced female circumcision BUT you had better not suggest that aborting a late term fetus may threaten the sanctity of all human life. It all becomes arbitrary based on the current moral climate, the spirit of the age. I'm afraid hypocrisy and moral relativism presents itself in all of us, even in our better theologians.

So is he saying that there are no personal demonic beings, that there is no personal Devil?

Marsden is a heretic and false teacher. He bases his historiography upon the atheistic philosophies of Nietzsche and Michael Polanyi. He actually says that there can be no historical certainty of the resurrection since he views it as only a religious fact and does not see the Bible as a primary source of information.

The scandal is Mark Noll is a heretic and false teacher. He bases his historiography upon the atheistic philosophies of Nietzsche and Michael Polanyi. He actually says that there can be no historical certainty of the resurrection since he views it as only a religious fact and does not see the Bible as a primary source of information. He supposedly rejects Foundationalism which would allow for authority of scripture in the sola scriptural doctrine but he does seem to believe in postmodernism as foundational

There are Christians in India since A.D. 52. They are called syrian Christians, baptised by st. Thomas. Also called st. Thomas Christians from Kerala, India. Their local language is Malayalam. There are more than 6 million Christians from Kerala alone.

This is Heiser's distorted and erroneous theology. The "gods" in Psalm 82 are not divine beings. How do we know? Because the immediate context tells us. Nowhere in the entire Bible do "gods" judge humans unjustly, so that God now has to judge them. Human judges are described in Psalm 82 based on the immediate context of that Psalm. We know that humans were called "elohim" meaning judges because of passages like Exodus 21:6 and Exodus 22:8-9. Right now I am interviewing the author of the book "The Unbiblical Realm: Refuting the Divine Council of Michael Heiser’s Deuteronomy 32 Worldview." We both came to similar conclusions without knowing each other before, and he cites others who also take issue with Heiser's theology. This is not rocket science here. Heiser simply misread several passages. Case in point. I have heard him say that Deut. 32:8 where he takes as original the reading "Sons of God" instead of "sons of Israel," is related to Deut. 4:19. He then argues that Deut. 4:19 is speaking of "heavenly beings." But anyone reading the immediate context of Deut. 4 starting from verse 15 down to 19 will see the clear reference to God warning against IDOL worship, not worship of any alleged "divine beings." No, Moses is talking in that context about the problems with idol worship of different kinds, and when we get down to verse 19, the flow of thought continues as God warns against a different kind of idol worship, the worship of heavenly bodies, the "sun, moon and stars, all the host of heaven." So one of his key passages he got grossly wrong. The fact that Heiser missed this simple truth from the immediate context speaks volumes, and it also speaks to how people can be blinded by a theology that they can't see the obvious. Deut. 4:19 is not speaking about any kind of real "gods" or "divine beings." God there is warning against idolatry, man made idols (carved images per vs. 16), and idols people could make of heavenly bodies.

Nik Ripken destroyed my illusion of what missionaries were called to be and God gave life to a determination to feed His sheep globally where others will not go.

I couldn’t finish the interview due to the intrusive laughter

Thanks for posting this. I've been looking for more background about Dallas' decision here. Matt Page (author 100 Bible Films)

I don’t think NTW realizes Michael Heiser passed away last year.

Im looking for help. I used to do meth and on Halloween one year i was high and invited in the demonic. I tried to sell my soul twice. But i believe in Jesus. Ive been baptized. My heart belongs to Jesus. But now i have voices that talk to me all day. Telling me i sold my soul that i blasphemed the holy ghost that im going to hell. Im sober im not doing drugs. I just want to be free. They say i cant because i invited them in. Do you know anybody who can help?

In some ways - I really agree with and appreciate NTs vision of how things ought to work and think this approach would have worked well in the last century - but his approach or application of biblical principles doesn’t seem to offer solutions in the darkening age I. Which we live. I don’t see how his approach handles the apostasy and relative truth and LGBT assault on Christianity not does he make it plain how we should best deal with a world of politics that has become a complete fraud. What is his reaction to the plandemic of 2020 and the WEF global takedown and the coming antichrist system that is being assembled all around us in this technocracy that will soon be a control grid for Satan. Christianity has answers to this but endless discussion and attempting to live as an example is Not the whole of the answer. And indeed there are spiritual forces behind it all . Where is the place to call out evil and call a spade a spade. Calling out dark spiritual forces that are attacking God’s people and inverting his ways?

I appreciate this interview very much and hear a lot of wisdom from NT Wright, but he is good at articulating his arguments for what the church should do but he sidestepped the question you asked about when a believer shoild engage in civil disobedience. What are the issues where there should NOT be unity and scism or division is the preferable and dare I say biblical thing to do? Or would he argue there is no such red line or issue ?

For the “true and actually real” Christian, it is a fact that we work from the inside out and not the outside in. It is true that the world and culture work to shape us but the child of God as a product of God’s salvation works first to strengthen the inner man and feed the spirit which in turn is able to correctly assess the world around us and orient our lives to it n our walk with Christ. In short, it still comes down to an inner decision (first)as to how to order our outward life…If you are describing the dangers facing “baby” Christians who might fall into some of these “dangerous” habits, would not a Heavenly Father be working in His providence to care for His child until he is able to walk on his own? He is able to present us faultless and blameless in that day…

Answers to questions hardly anyone is asking…seems like there is no conversation here…

Wow, I love this topic of participation. It's one of the aspects that draws me to the house church/micro church movement. I've never been in one but conceptually the community and interaction is really appealing to me.

You lost me with your picture of "Will Smith." Your question matters not when you use "the world" in attempting to attract Christians to your video. Very sad

Why in the world would you bring the "world" into this video before even starting it? I'm talking about the filthy mouth Hollywood actor comedian Kevin Hart. Why do many of today's Christian leaders feel the necessity to get their point across with worldly unbelieving actors, so-called celebrities, sports "heroes" etc.. That is not being a leader! It is quite the opposite! You would do well to take this video down until you correct it and get out of the world! You have that same responsibility to those you teach and preach to! Lead them out of the world!

❤

As I watch this video on social media 😂

When I learned the correct interpretation of Revelation.. ALL of my confusion from dispensationalism was IMMEDIATELY cleared up. Believing in that teaching causes mental illness. That is what I believe I saw in the spirit. It causes people to believe lies and conspiracy theories and demands a spirit of fear😢 It is dangerous for this country. As a 68 yrs old woman i know for a fact that we've already grown from out of a fascist leaning country since the early 1900's. May God help us.

Travis, I’ve been tuning in from time to time and still see your numbers are just not taking off…giving this much thought and am wondering if it’s due to your approach as the host. From my radio broadcasting classes in college, I remember our classes on doing an interview. My opinion would be that you might want to do some studies on How to be an interesting and effective interviewer. Your podcasts just seem to be lacking in this respect and just don’t seem to be drawing people in…me included. Hopefully this comes across as helpful and not critical.

Nik, why ever do you call buildings in America 'the house of God'? Aren't the only objects called 'house of God' in the Scriptures - the tabernacle (tent)? - the Jerusalem temple? - the bodies of believers? - the gathered believers?

Many fall into this category. Mark 4 18 And these are they which are sown among thorns; such as hear the word, 19 And the cares of this world, and the deceitfulness of riches, and the lusts of other things entering in, choke the word, and it becometh unfruitful.

My parents served as missionaries for over 50 years had no retirement plans and after they were forced retired at 75 by the mission they survived on Social Security and one or two churches, me, and a couple relatives who continued to support. When my mom passed her social security additional income was cut from my dad's income. Dad was renting and just forced to leave the house he was living in and is having trouble finding affordable housing. The problem is real. I don't live near his church or support circle so he didn't want to move. I'm single and have a one bedroom apartment and work from home so I couldn't take him as I don't have room and he's a fall risk.

So true a balance of social justice and the gospel of Jesus.

I am a big fan of Mark Nolls, so thank you for this interview. I was especially caught by Nolls’ comment of being: "nervous about making Lewis an icon pulled out of time." This has been a particular interest for me. In the early 1980s, I attended an evangelical college. The education I got there was very good, but I could hardly sit through a chapel service without one visiting speaker after another forcing in another a hands-down quote from C.S Lewis. I remember joking: "If one more chapel speaker quotes" C. S. Lewis, I'm going to scream." Of course, when the next chapel speaker again quoted Lewis, I didn't scream ;-) Ever since then, I have become sensitive to any iconization of Lewis that seems to be everywhere in the evangelical world. Personally, I have the greatest respect for Lewis, but I am put off by this. It seems to underline what Nolls calls "The Scandal of the Evangelical Mind." You don't need to read the book. The title says it all. By the way, not many talk about a backlash to Lewis' work, a kind of anti-idol, especially with his Narnia tales. Everyone knows a few Christian parents who do not allow their children to read the Narnia tales because of Lewis's free use of witches, fauns, and other Occult figures. In fact, no one talks about that there are fringe right-wing Christian groups who, on their websites, actually decry writers like Lewis and Tolkien for being Occult practitioners. I find this mainstream/fringe estrangement of adoration and demonization fascinating. In fact, (drum roll) I have written a book about this engaging subject and have woven it into an intense fiction thriller called “A Witch in the Wardrobe.” It is being published by Wifp and Stock and is due to be released in a few months-www.ldwenzel.com. Updates can come, and I will appreciate all comments and likes.

Solu Israel, Miqedem, Aaron Shust, and Joshua Aaron are incredibly blessed in the art of bringing psalms to modern music

Ever want to test community maturity or "bar codeness," preach on "our great ambition" from 2 Cor 5:6-10. It can go very poorly.

Makes perfect sense. A christian historian on the desegregation of Dallas Theological seminary writes, "the commitment to biblical inerrancy ran across the color line...“We wanted to be well-trained in the Scriptures and our liberal friends were not offering us that opportunity, but our white segregationist friends were.”...In the end, black students enrolled for classes at the historically white school primarily due to their perception that the school was committed to biblical inerrancy" (Kidd, TGC). In other words, black theologians took the higher road historically to maintain biblical fidelity. This may explain how the descendant black church is more accustomed to the authority and engagement of the Scriptures we see waning in mainline churches of the west. It also means that black Christians are familiar with the high price of the cost of discipleship. In this country, we've always had to pay it.

Where to start with Tom's 90+ books? Read Surprised by Joy, The Resurrection of the Son of God is beside me now, with E P Sanders. I am coming out as a Christian, as a gay man it's almost as difficult as coming out as a Communist. N T Wright, C S Lewis, George MacDonald and (surprisingly) the sermons of John Wesley are bringing me to a Faith and Life I never knew was possible. I would love to hear Tom play St James Infirmary with Hugh Laurie, liked Collins and Wright Genesis...

In my opinion...people that I share with tend to tell me I just don't know Calvinism.... and while I see this as a different "gospel" ... and we are told that all of Scripture is God breathed and useful for training in righteousness and doctrine and even loving rebuke... We tend to elevate certain things held by humans that arent Jesus in a higher place of "essential importance"... like TULIP. What have you two experienced in your walks?
