Theology Throw Down episode 20

The discussion was on the Lord's Supper or the communion. There are many questions that were discussed. Some call it the Lord's Supper and others the communion. Is there really a difference? That leads to the question, what is the Lord's Supper? What is the meaning of it? There are many different views, especially if you look at the Roman Catholic Church, Lutheran, and other Protestant groups. Part of the communion is to have a time of self-reflection. Therefore, we discuss if there should be a warning before the passing of the elements. What do the elements represent? Different dominations have different views of the elements. Is the bread real bread or the physical body of Christ? Is the wine real wine or the literal blood of Christ?

There is maybe the greatest difference in the area of the elements themselves. Should the bread be unleavened or could it be leavened? Some more issues arise with the question of the wine. Should it be real wine or does grape juice suffice? Could real wine if used cause a stumbling block for someone with a problem with alcohol? Churches have different opinions on how often should church celebrate the Lord's Supper? Some churches celebrate communion every week, some monthly, and others on a different schedule, so is there a right frequency?

Theology Throw Down episode 16

The Christian Podcast Community podcasters gather to discuss Romans 13 related to the relationship between church and state and how that applies. Should Christians submit to the government when they make laws like vaccines or mask mandates or make illegal conversation therapy? Conversation therapy is the idea that it would be illegal to talk someone out of homosexuality. When do we obey and when do we resist the government and how can we do that biblically. Much of this is an issue of Christian Liberty. What are the principles that rule when we should do or not do something? Some of the discussion plays into issues of medical decisions or matters of personal protection. These issues fall under the question of what is the government's role? We must first understand their role before we can answer do we submit to the authority of government.

The issue of church and state has been a regularly debated topic, especially in America. However, the church serves a much different feature than the state and each has its proper function. When one or the other goes outside of their God-given function there will be problems. One of the things that often gets confused in the discussion of the separation of church and state is the difference between obedience and submission. Obedience is following a requirement where submission is an attitude.

Theology Throw Down episode 15

Not sure about you, but when people think of humor and Christians, their mind does not automatically go to a scene from the Bible. In fact, it is probably more likely that we are thinking about a biblical reenactment or something like "Veggie Tales." But in reality, humor is an important part of Christianity. It is what gives us hope and joy during difficult times in our lives. Laughter can be used as an outlet for so much pain - especially if your faith is being tested. In this podcast, we will explore the benefits of humor and how it can help strengthen your relationship with God through laughter!

"Jesus told his disciples to be a 'light of hope and joy in a dark world' (1 Peter 2:9). But what if you're not naturally funny? What if your sense of humor is more dry than witty, more sarcastic than goofy? We will explain how Christians can use humor as a tool for ministry. We will explore the different types of humor found in scripture and discuss how we can avoid offending people with our jokes."

Theology Throw Down episode 14

The Christian Podcast Community podcasters get together to talk about music; in the church and in our personal life. Some of the topics discussed are things like what types of music should be used in church? There are differences some say only the psalms should be sung in church, others sing hymns and some use more contemporary music. It can be used to affect our emotions. Sometimes the lyrics could be great but the way a song is sung could be inappropriate in a church worship service. The question in a worship service the only question that should be asked is, what does God want to hear? This question led to a discussion about is there music that is not appropriate for a church worship service. The key to the discussion is to ask what is the worship service for and the answer is to worship God. Therefore, what is sung in church must be directing people to worship God.

The other area of discussion was in our personal life what music should we listen to? Can we listen to songs that is not necessarily Christian yet still be clean and wholesome? Some music can help with soothing and can help with healing or setting a better mode. Other music causes us tense up and gets agitated. Therefore, we do need to think through what we listen to and why? One of the questions asked of some Christians is can Christians listen to secular music? How much of what we listen to is nothing more than nostalgia to us because we grow up listening to that style?

Theology Throw Down episode 13

Are celebrity pastors helpful or harmful? Unfortunately, it's a difficult question to answer because there are so many factors. There is an important difference between celebrity pastors being famous for just being famous and preaching the word of God; one can be beneficial while the other may cause spiritual damage. That disparity should not mean that we avoid any person who has reached fame however--instead, let us rather take advantage of this opportunity by getting involved with our local church instead!

The team of Christian Podcast Community podcasters discusses these issues. They also discuss the importance of the local church versus a preacher who is just famous for being famous. Whether celebrity preachers are helpful or harmful is a hotly debated question. The Christian Podcast Community podcasters discuss the pros and cons of both situations, most notably how much easier it can be to get involved with your local church as opposed to getting excited about someone you do not know who may have one good sermon every now and then.

The differ Christian podcasters of the Christian Podcast Community discuss some of the common Christian cliches. They were groups as those not found anywhere in Scripture and those are are form Scripture.

In Scripture nowhere: "Hate the sin, love the sinner?” "God helps those who help themselves.” "God doesn't give you more than you can handle.” “God would never send anyone to hell”

Not really want Scripture might to say

"Judge not lest ye be judged,” "God is sovereign" or "All things work together for good"

“God is love” "love your neighbor” "The truth will set you free.”

Theology Throw Down episode 5

We set up a discussion on what is the law and the gospel. That started the team off to discussing theonomy and the view of taking dominion over things including culture. In the topic of the law and gospel, some explained the use of the law in sharing the gospel. Part of that was a view called New Covenant Theology and their view of the law of Christ. There was some great discussion and clarity for and against to the tri-part division of the law (civil, ceremonial, and moral). One of the questions mored the conversation into a discussion of the Hebrew Roots Movement and Christians that want to live under the law. Should Christians, who have the gospel and under grace, obey the law or are we free to do anything under grace.
