Episode notes
Natural Law Replacing Scripture
- Joel Webin frames opposition to interracial marriage as a matter of 'natural design' rather than explicit biblical prohibition.
- Chris Rosebrough warns this appeals to nature bypasses sola scriptura and lacks scriptural backing.
Race As A Modern Construct
- Chris Rosebrough rejects modern racial categories as recent and unbiblical, calling race a harmful lie rooted in modern thought.
- He points listeners to Pastor Warren Graff's research showing modern race concepts postdate Scripture.
Limits Of Natural-Law Arguments
- Rosebrough explains limits of using creation to derive God's hidden will; natural-law claims must not override Scripture.
- He shows that unlike homosexuality, interracial marriage does not contradict procreative design and is affirmed by 'one flesh' texts.
