Show Notes:

Eric Schneiderman & Not Being a Hypocrite:

• When women make “me-too” arguments, they are assuming moral absolutes exist
• The whole “me-too” movement is radically relativistic when it comes to ethics
• You can’t adopt a “do what you feel” worldview and argue that men are wrong for molesting or raping
• If there is no God there’s no such thing as a hypocrite
• In the Christian cosmos hypocrisy is a sin
• In the “me-too” world there is no such thing as sin

Reformation Worship:

• Written by Gibson & Earngy
• Fabulous resource on reformational liturgics
• They have assembled some of the classic reformed orders of worship

Amathes:

• The word amathes means unleared
• Mentioned once in the NT (2 Peter 3:16)
• Those who are unlearned and yet gather to themselves the prerogatives of learning -- which would include the authority to interpret the letters of Paul -- are demonstrating that they are unlearned for a reason
• They are unstable souls, and their ignorance is sinful
