DEBATE | Which system best explains how Christians Interact with the State? (Integralism vs. Two Kingdoms)
Episode description
In this episode, broadcast live on January 25th, 2022 on YouTube, I host a friendly debate on how the Christian interacts with the state.
Timon Cline will be representing the idea of "Integralism", which would imply that the government should reflect explicitly Christian values and legislation, and Christians should seek to create that environment. Tom Hicks will be representing a flavor of Two Kingdoms Theology, which implies that God has created a common kingdom and a redemptive kingdom, and though Jesus is king over both, the Christian will interact with each sphere differently.
Debate format:
Opening Position statements - 15 minutes each
Rebuttals - 10 minutes each
Dialogue - 30-45 minutes
Audience questions until 2 hour mark.
