Show #579 - Part of Israel Description In this episode, we discuss sin and what this looks like. The conversation moves into the idea of covenant inclusion and the establishment of the Church. Did Jesus establish the Church when He came? The argument made in this episode is that Jesus did not establish a Church but came to redeem Israel, something already established.

Show #573 - Does Baptism Replace? Description I this episode, we look at a Facebook post from Chad Bird who suggests Baptism has replaced circumcision and given us a “how-much-better gift” to His people.

Show #572 - No Distinction Description In this episode, we first link at the term “progressive revelation” and attempt to understand how this term is used by mainstream Christianity. We then move to the idea of the indwelling of the Holy Spirit and look at if those before the Acts 2 event were indwelled by the Spirit, or if the Spirit only indwelled believers after this event. We then move to Acts 15 and ask if Gentiles are distinct in their keeping of the commandments, or if this has been a misreading of the text by those who think Gentiles have different laws than physical descendants of Jacob.
