E167  ‘Does God Have Favourites?’ – Does God Protect & Bless ‘Some’ & Not Others?

mikezenker

Does God really have ‘favourites’??  Does He protect some and not others?  Does He bless some and not others?  It seems many Old Testament writers seemed to imply this concept of karma and applied it to how ‘God’ seems to work.  When Jesus arrived, he corrected these faulty concepts of His father and lived His life as an example of that truth.  Enjoy this important conversation with Bill Thrasher & Richard Murray.

E166  ‘Choose Hope, Not Fear’ – An End Times Discussion with Richard Murray & Bill Thrasher

mikezenker

Your perspective on ‘end times’ will likely be determined by your concept of who you think ‘God’ is, and what the character of ‘God’ is like.  Unfortunately, many don’t know that there could be a direct correlation.  This discussion touches on a few concepts of ‘end times’, it also explores why your understanding matters.  If you have only been taught ‘one’ way to understand this topic, you may greatly benefit from discovering that there is a larger menu of options to consider.  Enjoy!

E163  “Jesus Unchained ~ Deconstruct From Dead Religion Without Losing Your Faith”   – the story behind the FB group

mikezenker

Today’s discussion is with a group of ‘admins’ of a Private Facebook Group called ‘Jesus Unchained – Deconstruct From Dead Religion Without Losing Your Faith. 

This discussion is was recorded and posted to the group so that the members of the group could hear a little bit about ‘why’ this page was formed and ‘who’ is helping run the group.  This is an amazing group of people who care about providing a safe place for people to grow, to unlearn, to deconstruct, and to discover a more ‘hope filled’ perspective on topics they have not had permission to question before.  This is not an ‘answer’ group, but a group of authentic sojourners eager to encourage and help others grow and work through their questions and still not lose ‘Faith’.  Enjoy this discussion!!

SGIG E162  “Debunking Divine Command Theory” Part 4 (of 4) – with Mike Zenker, Richard Murray, & Bill Thrasher

mikezenker

This is going to be a multi-part conversation for sure!  You may find that by the time our conversation is over, you may have been exposed to this theory MORE than you possibly realized!!  If you have never heard of the term before, here is what WIKIPEDIA says about “Divine command theory”

(also known as theological voluntarism) is a meta-ethical theory which proposes that an action’s status as morally good is equivalent to whether it is commanded by God. The theory asserts that what is moral is determined by God’s commands and that for a person to be moral he is to follow God’s commands. Followers of both monotheistic and polytheistic religions in ancient and modern times have often accepted the importance of God’s commands in establishing morality.
