Episode notes
When Church Becomes Empire
- When the church marries political power, the church loses and empire wins.
- History (Babylon, Rome, America) shows God opposes that fusion and calls for renewal from a faithful remnant.
Role Of The Faithful Remnant
- Remnant theology describes faithful communities on the margins that renew the whole.
- The remnant exists to be faithful, not effective or self-righteous, and bears witness to an alternative way of life.
The Danger Of Syncretism
- Syncretism blends incompatible systems and dilutes distinctiveness of faith.
- Biblical authors repeatedly warn that mixing Yahweh-worship with pagan practices undermines holiness and invites idolatry.
