EP 112: From Crippled To Restored- The Fully-Functioning Body of Christ w/ Rod Smith, Part 2

Rod Smith joins me for another mini episode, this time considering the cosmic significance of God and the gods amongst the clouds- is it a stage for divine actors upon which to display themselves? Seems there are many things connected to this topic that might hold some esoteric meaning.

Luke, Rod, and Pete conclude our conversation started in EP 111 as we compare and contrast the damaging, limiting, and unbiblical practices of how most modern Christians in the west meet in our church "services", and what it could or should look like instead. Reading Frank Viola's "Pagan Christianity" as well as his follow-up books on organic church are a must-read resource to understand just how far what we call church is from what God intended our gatherings to be.

Rod Smith from The Millennial Mustard Seed podcast joins us for a roundtable discussion as we pick up from where we left off (from EP 83) w/ Rick Copeland when we discussed "Deconstructing Pagan Christianity".  On this episode, we compare and contrast the shortcomings of how we meet as Believers with the design of God for His Body- to be fully-functioning and fully-participating members and using the gifts He's given us!

We conclude with the second half of our conversation with Kevin Thompson from Beyond The Fundamentals, discussing the myriad ways that Calvinism as a system of theology is opposed to Biblical Christianity. We touch on Calvinism's origins, from Gnosticism that Augustine combined with Christianity, which later John Calvin popularized, and led to the God-slandering doctrine of demons known as 5 Point Calvinism.

Luke and Pete explore the evidence for the different theories of when exactly was Jesus Christ born. Jonathan Cahn and Michael Heiser are referenced for their excellent research on the topic, and not surprisingly, they come to very different conclusions!

We welcome Kevin Thompson from Beyond The Fundamentals to the show for the first time as we take a deep dive into thinking about thinking- how do we arrive at truth, knowledge, and seeing reality, life, and the Bible, for what it really says. Kevin relates these concepts to the errors that can be demonstrated in Calvinism (aka reformed theology/ TULIP systematic with regard to soteriology, the study of how Biblical salvation operates).

We conclude our conversation with Timothy Bence that we began on EP 107, continuing to explore the "power vacuum" principle and our responsibility to walk in God's ways so as to hold back evil on the earth. We talk about understand the Rapture, the Mark of the Beast, the end time plan to defile to human genome on a mass scale, and discernment and interpretation of current day prophetic messages.
