Schattenseiten – Skandale und Verbrechen im Sport#73 Revolverheld im Ring – wie Wild-West-Legende Wyatt Earp für einen der größten Box-Skandale des 19. Jahrhunderts sorgte
Wyatt Earp hat sich als Gesetzeshüter und Revolverheld im Wilden Westen einen Namen gemacht. Doch nationale Bekanntheit in den USA erlangt er erst, als er eigentlich schon im Ruhestand ist. Denn 1896 sollen zwei der größten Boxer ihrer Zeit, Bob Fitzsimmons und Tom Sharkey, in einem mit Spannung erwarteten Schwergewichtskampf aufeinandertreffen. Da sich beide Seiten auf keinen Ringrichter einigen können, wird Wyatt Earp gefragt. Der sorgt danach im Ring für einen riesigen Skandal, der ihn noch über seinen Tod hinaus verfolgen sollte.

Restitutio402 Why Christianity 15: Jesus the Revolutionary (Daniel Fitzsimmons)Although many throughout the Western world are quick to criticize Christianity, Jesus remains well-liked. In fact, one of the most obvious answers to the question, “Why Christianity?” is “Jesus.” To this day, reading the Gospels draws the reader to Jesus’ magnetic and compelling way of life. What’s more, the less satisfied we are with our own society, the more we find ourselves drawn to counter-cultural forces. Jesus of Nazareth is just such a person. He spoke truth to power and challenged the religious status quo of his own day. He remains counter-cultural, and this just may be a strong reason for u...

In this episode Jerry Wierwille will explain the issues with the only biblical text that directly addresses this subject (Exodus 21.22-5). In addition to exegeting this confusing passage, Wierwille also draws on evidence from Psalm 51 before discussing some of the big picture ethical issues related to modern abortions.

To arrive at a biblically informed decision we need to consider both the Old and New Testaments, giving special attention to the nuanced understanding the Apostle Paul gave in Romans 13. Furthermore, in America we have quite a few other issues we need to balance out such as the exorbitant cost of sustaining convicts on death row and the handful of cases where an executed person turns out to be innocent on the one hand, and capital punishment's ability to deter crime and mete out...

In this episode we turn to the bible to sort out a Christian position on euthanasia. Drawing on the inherent dignity God has invested in each person by making us in his image and the fact that God claims sovereignty over life and death, we conclude that physician assisted suicide is a sin. In difficult cases of extreme and continuous suffering, Christians have pioneered palliative care in the hospice movement as a compassionate alternative to euthanasia.

As it turns out, God designed us to experience pleasure, but within his boundaries. We discuss several of these before considering how sometimes we may need to enter a period of abstinence to recenter ourselves. Lastly, we look at how legalism can sneak in and wreak havok when...

This unpopular order caused much controversy throughout the US and led to significant litigation, delaying it's implementation.

Although it's terribly out of fashion to admit one desires and pursues power, this counterfeit god is alive and well.
