Our Foundations Podcast5.18 The Law, part 1The beginning and summary of the purpose of the Sermon on the Mount is "The Law". This episode covers "I did not come to abolish the Law but to complete...". In many ways, this is the crux of understanding the rest of the sermon and it outlines the goal and perspective of His ministry on earth. Here in part 1, I go over what the parts of this statement mean and bring in context from various other New Testament passages.   Our Foundations podcast:  - Website - http://www.ourfoundations.podbean.com/ - Ema...

Our Foundations Podcast5.17 Salt and Light; Water and FireThere is much greater depth to being salt and light when we draw out the other connected foundational elements- water and fire. These may be implicit in these verses in Matthew and in the context of the culture being spoken to but they are very explicitly dealt with throughout scripture in other places. These other passages are explored and the interplay between them and Matthew is looked at as we dig into the interplay between salt and light, water and fire.   Our Foundations podcast:  - Website - http://www.ourfoundations.podbean.com/ ...

Our Foundations Podcast5.16 Salt and Light- OverviewWe are told to be salt and light to the world. This episode breaks down many different aspects of what this means, from historical and cultural practices to metaphorical meaning. Like much of scripture, the Sermon on the Mount is full of passages that hold multiple meanings at the same time. It's very much a both/and sermon more than an either/or. The question of "How does a Christian interact with the government and secular society?" gets more detail in these passages too.   Our Foundations podcast:  - Website - http://www.ourfoundations.pod...

As always, these are not only used in the context of the Christian but also the state as we seek to form a coherent and biblical world view straight from scripture.   Our Foundations podcast:  - Website - http://www.ourfoundations.podbean.com/ - Email - ourfoundations@protonmail.com - SubscribeStar to support/ donate - https://www.subscribestar.com/ourfoundations

Our Foundations Podcast5.10 Bible Commentary IntroductionWelcome to the second half of Season 5. I am switching gears a bit and shifting into a more commentary approach with a focus on specific passages in scripture. Since most of the relevant sections of the Old Testament have been covered in the first half of Season 5, the bulk of this much longer second "half" will be from the New Testament. This begins with the teachings of Jesus, Yeshua, starting with the Temptations of Yeshua and going through the Sermon on the Mount.   Our Foundations podcast:  - Website - http://www.ourfoundations.podbean.com...

Our Foundations Podcast5.7 Judges and Kings- Anarchy and StatismIt's time to look at some very direct examples of a biblical view of both anarchy and statism. Judges tells of a time when there was no king or government and people "did what was right in their own eyes". The kings that followed in the time of monarchy paint the picture of what it looks like to have a centralized government. God gives very direct commentary on this and we will look at the results of each system. Neither is ideal and in the end, both lead to failure however, there is one that is directly a rejection...

As we continue to look into the theology of obedience and the relationship between the Christian and the state, this provides a great example of direct involvement. While we are to avoid participation in a corrupt system, we are also to submit to governing authorities and Joseph is a great example of one of the rare times that a Christian is rightly a part of the state.   Our Foundations podcast:  - Website - ...

Our Foundations Podcast3.31 The Original Church’s views on StatismThe early church fathers had a lot to say regarding the state. Here, I try to stick with the first generation church and what they said themselves about Statism. I also include accounts from historians on related aspects of the first Christians for a rounded view on their beliefs on the subject.    Our Foundations podcast:  - Website - http://www.ourfoundations.podbean.com/ - Email - ourfoundations@protonmail.com - SubscribeStar to support/ donate - https://www.subscribestar.com/ourfoundations - Patreon to support / donate - https://www.pa...

Our Foundations Podcast3.30 The Kingdom of God and TechnocracyThis episode wraps up the look at technocracy frameworks. The Kingdom of God perspective is unique in that is is independent of the other 3 and very in line with agorism, anarcho capitalism, voluntaryism, and the like. I use the Old Testament, the New Testament, and modern examples to show how the Kingdom of God approaches the concepts from the definition of technocracy, namely societal management by experts and resource management.   Our Foundations podcast:  - Website - http://www.ourfoundations.podbean.com/ - Email - ourfoundations@protonmail.com - SubscribeStar to s...

Our Foundations Podcast3.29 Christian TechnocracyThere is much to look into in relation to the Christian and the State but the focus here is on a relatively technocratic view of governing society through Christian values. Augustine's City of God is looked at for both the differentiation of the city of god and city of man and the role of the Christian within the latter. Calvin instituted a governance model in Geneva that was effective but not without issue. Lastly, the theology / philosophy of theonomy is explored for their take on how the kingdom of God is manifested through some melding with secular government.

Our Foundations Podcast3.28 Soft Technocracy from the Foundation UniverseThe Foundation series by Isaac Asimov gives a very good picture of what soft technocracy looks like, and even how it compares with and pairs with more material and openly structured technocracy.

These are not a replacement for the books and definitely skim over many of the main points that get brought out of the books.

Our Foundations Podcast3.26 Plato‘s TechnocracyPlato's Republic is the proto model for technocracy. He takes us from the more material and hierarchical perspective to something more all encompassing.

Our Foundations Podcast3.19 Scientism and Technocracy, part 2There was more to cover related to scientism and more to introduce on the subject of technocracy. For Scientism, it is mostly the issue of the is-ought problem. Science provides knowledge but Scientism claims to provide wisdom through determining an ought from the is of scientific discovery. I also read many quotes to bring us into the concept of technocracy. These come from presidents, authors, and political influencers through the years and tie together much of what I've been covering in regards to secular religion, technocracy, and the immaterial nature of modern political and social change.

Temples, Trees, Talismans, and more elaborations on the Vin Armani Dim Age interview, part 2The exploration continues as we dive deeper into self sustaining systems and the Church of Woke. The symbolism of temples and idols are used to better understand this as well as a direct comparisons between the Church of Woke and Kingdom of God. The imagery of trees is used again but expanded to multiple trees within the context of this comparison. I give my views on masks as well as other related commentary. I hope you enjoy.   - Vin Armani - @vinarmani - The Ascendant Project video series - https://vinarmani.com/ -  ...

Our Foundations Podcast2.19 Shifting Approaches to EducationFrom the Middle Ages through the Renaissance through the Reformation, education evolved with different approaches, interpretations, and manifestations. Today, there are many similar aspects to scholasticism as well as movements similar to the shift to humanism. The technology of the internet enables some of this and much is driven through ideological motivations. From the Trivium to filters of theology and politics and more.    - Website - http://www.ourfoundations.podbean.com/ - Email - ourfoundations@protonmail.com - Patreon page to support / donate - https://www.patreon.com/ourfoundations - Twi...

Education and secular knowledge became more sought through these shifts. Cracks in the system were visible then as they have been in modern history. Tech companies are acting out many of the same shifts that were seen in the middle ages.     - Website - http://www.ourfoundations.podbean.com/ - Email - ourfoundations@protonmail.com - Patreon page to support / donate - https://www.patreon.com/ourfo...
