They share their personal experiences with Sonship, and how they came to see its flaws and dangers.

In this episode, Aldo Leon discusses the concept of neutrality and how it is impossible for Christians to be neutral in their worldview. He explains why neutrality is a myth, a sin, and a trap that leads to compromise and confusion. He also challenges listeners to examine their own presuppositions and to stand firm on the truth of God’s word. This topic is discussed with Pastor Christian Khanda, Holy Trinity Presbyterian Church, Fort Lauderdale (https://holytrinityopc.org/about/leadership/) and Pastor George Sayour, Meadowview Presbyterian Church, Lexington, NC (https://meadowviewpca.org/profiles/george-sayour/).Some of the highlights or discussion points of this episode are:The Myth of Neutrality: the panel exposes the false assumption that there is a neutral ground where people can reason without any bias or commitment to a worldview. They show how everyone has a starting point and a framework that shapes their interpretation of reality.The Sin of Neutrality: The panel warns against the temptation to be neutral or to accommodate the world’s standards in order to avoid conflict or persecution. They argue that neutrality is a form of idolatry and unfaithfulness to God, who commands us to love Him with all our heart, soul, mind, and strength.The Trap of Neutrality: The panel illustrates how neutrality leads to inconsistency and contradiction in the Christian’s life and witness. They point out how neutrality undermines the authority and sufficiency of Scripture, the exclusivity and necessity of Christ, and the power and presence of the Holy Spirit.The Antidote to Neutrality: The panel encourages listeners to embrace the biblical worldview and to be confident and bold in proclaiming and defending the gospel. They remind us that we have the mind of Christ and the weapons of God to demolish every argument that sets itself up against the knowledge of God.If you enjoyed this episode and want to support Kingdom Polemics, please visit our Buy Me A Coffee webpage (https://www.buymeacoffee.com/kingdompolemics) and consider buying us a coffee or becoming a member.

In this episode, Aldo Leon critiques the views of Owen Strachan, a Baptist theologian and professor, on the relationship between the Great Commission and the civil sphere. Leon argues that Strachan has a narrow and pietistic understanding of the Great Commission, which excludes the role of the law, the magistrate, and the Christianization of society. Leon contends that the Great Commission is not just about making disciples through baptism and teaching, but also about applying the lordship of Christ to every sphere of life, including the family, the church, and the state. Leon challenges Strachan’s interpretation of various biblical texts, such as Psalm 2, Matthew 28, and 1 Timothy 2, and shows how they support a more holistic and comprehensive vision of the Great Commission.Some of the highlights or discussion points of this episode are:How Strachan creates a false dilemma between the ecclesiastical and the civil realms, and how he fails to see the connection between the law and the gospel.How Strachan misreads Psalm 2 as an eschatological text, rather than a present reality that calls the kings and nations to submit to Christ and his law.How Strachan ignores the implications of Christ’s authority over all things, and how he limits the scope of the Great Commission to the church and its mission.How Strachan misunderstands the role of the magistrate as a deacon of God, and how he neglects the biblical examples of civil rulers who supported and protected the church and its mission.How Strachan overlooks the covenantal and creational aspects of the Great Commission, and how he fails to appreciate the importance of the family, the Sabbath, and the creation mandate.The Strachan video referenced in this episode may be found at: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LThak7Iy5G4If you enjoyed this episode and want to support Kingdom Polemics, please visit our Buy Me A Coffee webpage (https://www.buymeacoffee.com/kingdompolemics) and consider making a donation.
