Megiddo Radio: Recent Episodes
This episode explores the doctrine of divine simplicity, emphasizing that God is without body, parts, or passions. It explains that because God is not composed of parts, He is infinite, unchanging, and independent of any external dependency. The speaker contrasts this with created beings who are limited and subject to change, highlighting that God's lack of creaturely passions signifies His perfect and constant love rather than indifference to his people. By affirming attributes such as immutability and eternality, the Confession of Faith speaks of God's absolute sovereignty and wisdom. Ultimately, this episode encourages believers to find comfort in a God who is wholly sufficient and works all things for His own glory.
This episode introduces Chapter Two of the Westminster Confession of Faith, focusing on theology proper and the nature of God. The speaker emphasizes that there is only one living and true God who is infinite in being and perfection, distinct from idols or created beings. Key attributes such as purity, invisibility, and impassibility are explored to highlight God's transcendence over finite human understanding. This episode warns against reducing God to measurable concepts and encourages a deep, reverent study of His incomprehensible nature. Ultimately, the goal is to deepen the believer's awe and relationship with the infinite Creator.
This podcast explores the Westminster Confession of Faith's teaching on the supreme authority of Scripture, emphasizing that the Bible is the final standard for all religious controversies. The speaker highlights the necessity of translating the Word into common languages so believers can worship God acceptably and find hope through its comfort. It stresses the principle of sola scriptura, clarifying that while other authorities exist, they remain subordinate to the inerrant Word of God. The speaker encourages comparing difficult passages with clearer ones and consulting historical commentaries as helpful guides rather than infallible sources. Ultimately, the Holy Spirit speaking in Scripture serves as the supreme judge for all doctrines and traditions.
This podcast examines paragraphs 7 and 8 of Chapter 1 of the Westminster Confession of Faith, focusing on the sufficiency and perspicuity of Scripture alongside its divine preservation. It argues that while some biblical passages are difficult, all doctrines necessary for salvation are clearly taught, ensuring clarity for all regardless of academic background. It strongly defends the doctrine that God has kept His Word pure in all ages, refuting modern critical text theories that suggest textual corruption in passages such as Mark 16:9-20, 1 John 5:7 and John 8:1-11. By citing historical theologians like Robert Shaw and Francis Turretin, the podcast emphasizes confidence in the authenticity of the original languages and rejects the notion that it is a corrupt text requiring correction by contemporary academia. Ultimately, the teaching aims to bolster the Church's trust in the inerrancy and authority of the Bible as the foundation for faith and practice.
The podcast examines the Westminster Confession of Faith to explain how believers attain assurance in Scripture's divine authority through both external evidences and the inward witness of the Holy Spirit. It emphasizes the church's vital role in fostering a reverent esteem for the Bible while clarifying that ultimate conviction comes from spiritual illumination rather than institutional testimony. The discussion highlights the principle of good and necessary consequence, demonstrating how doctrinal truths are deduced from the whole counsel of God without adding new special revelation. Additionally, it addresses the sufficiency of Scripture by distinguishing between essential doctrines and practical circumstances governed by Christian prudence and the light of nature. This approach of the Confession ensures that the practice of the Church remains grounded in biblical truth while allowing for orderly worship and church governance.
This podcast examines the Westminster Confession of Faith to establish the definitive list of books comprising the Old and New Testaments. It refutes historical claims that the church arbitrarily selected scripture, demonstrating instead that the canon was recognized by early Jewish and Christian communities as divinely inspired. The speaker distinguishes between the authoritative Scriptures and non-canonical works like the Apocrypha, which hold historical but no doctrinal value. Furthermore, the teaching asserts that the authority of the Bible rests solely on God as its author, rather than on the testimony of any human institution or church. This foundation ensures that believers submit to an infallible Word rather than fallible human opinion.
This episode looks at Chapter 1:1 of the Confession of Faith, which affirms that while general revelation through nature and creation reveals God's eternal power, wisdom, and goodness—rendering humanity without excuse—such revelation is insufficient for salvation, as it does not convey the gospel. The Holy Scripture are indispensable, not only for personal salvation but for guiding all aspects of life, providing the necessary corrective lens for fallen human understanding. The podcast concludes by affirming that the era of immediate, special revelation has ceased, meaning no new canonical writings are to be added, yet God continues to speak through means like preaching, and providence, all of which must be tested by the authority of Scripture alone.
