The Gary DeMar Podcast

Gary responds to a podcast episode where a biblical scholar reinterprets Paul as being purely "heavenly-minded." Claiming that Paul was convinced that a major eschatological event was in his future (especially in 1 Corinthians 7), the scholar believes that 1) Paul was mistaken, and 2) he was more concerned with spiritual realities than physical conditions in the first century anyway. 

Gary brings up a recent news article about certain Democrats pitching a fit over a Christian pastor praying for "repentance for our national sins." While the sins aren't mentioned, the Democrats filled in the blanks and made an assumption based on other things he said before. Their seething objection is more telling about themselves than the pastor. Christianity is political by its very nature.

Gary responds to a recent statement by attorney Ben Crump about redefining crime to help cut down on the targeting of blacks for criminal activity. Following in the steps of critical theory, Crump is falling right into the trap of the eternal victimhood of blacks everywhere in America. Gary responds and also quotes from Dr. Carol Swain's answer to Crump.

Gary discusses a video from Christian apologist Frank Turek. In Matthew 16:27-28, Jesus says that "some who are standing here shall not taste death, until they see the Son of Man coming in His Kingdom." Turek states that this is referring to the Transfiguration, but then he also steps over to similar language in Matthew 24. Watch the video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xn5s8NFi2Mo  

Exploring the relevance of eschatology in evangelism and its impact on believers, debunking misconceptions spread by false prophecy writers. Dive into Bart Ehrman's shift in biblical interpretations and challenge perspectives on unfulfilled prophecy. Analyze the Preterist case and differing interpretations of eschatology, focusing on the timing of Revelation and fulfillment of prophecy.

Gary answers a listener's question about how Luke 17 differs from Luke 21, and how both chapters relate to Matthew 24 and the events spoken of by Jesus in the Olivet Discourse. 

Gary interviews his longtime friend, Kirk Cameron, about how he came to embrace a new view of Christianity and the world. Kirk explains how he met Marshall Foster, how he came in contact with Gary DeMar, and what he is doing now. Spoiler Alert: He is taking his victorious Christian faith to the streets and libraries near you.

Gary responds to recent comments that people have made that Jesus is not currently reigning. After the Ascension, Jesus sat down at the Father's right hand, and is currently governing His Kingdom. Just because the Kingdom doesn't look like we expect it should, doesn't mean that we don't have a King.

Gary responds to comments made at an event with Todd Friel and several others about "dominionism" (with requisite scare quotes). While none of the commenters had a very accurate idea about theonomy or biblical law, they boiled it down to being "moralism." 

Gary interviews the late Dr. Gary North about his own personal history and how he came to know and be mentored by Dr. Rousas Rushdoony. North and Rushdoony heavily influenced 20th century theology with their voluminous books about a great deal of topics. The legacy of Rushdoony is still being felt today, more than 60 years after his first book was published in 1959.
