The Gary DeMar Podcast

In this conversation between Gary and Kim Burgess, the two discuss their other podcast, Covenant Hermeneutics and Biblical Eschatology. Since starting this podcast, there has been much that has happened and they summarize the situation as it seems to stand now. Two things are clear: biblical eschatology deeply affects worldview, and the battle is over hermeneutics (the art and science of interpretation).

Gary recorded a ten-part series based on his book God and Government a few years back and this episode is the first two parts of that series. He answers many questions about government—what is it, how does it operate, how is it defined biblically, and much more. A well-governed society doesn't mean that it has its politics in order; it means that its citizens are well-governed within themselves. A society of well-governed people yields a well-governed society. It's bottom-up, not top-down.

Gary discusses an article and interview by Pastor Greg Laurie. In the interview with Glenn Beck, Pastor Laurie says it is ridiculous to blame the Jews for Jesus' death. While this is true to a degree, it ignores the significant role the Jewish people—and especially their religious and political leaders—played in the arrest, trial, and crucifixion of Jesus in history. While it is true to say that "sin" in general put Him on the cross, we must not overlook the historical setting and circumstances of the entire Passion Week.

Gary discusses several instances of people rejecting and opposing the current transgender push. Riley Gaines, a swimmer from the University of Kentucky, was not interested in becoming a public figure, but she has become one in her vocal opposition to biological males swimming in female events. The insanity doesn't stop with sports, as Anheuser-Busch recently decided to enter the transgender-affirming game of corporate propaganda.

Gary examines two recent articles about biblical inerrancy and "pornographic" content in the Bible. People continue to make baffling statements of ignorance about the Bible and what it contains. Skeptics—and pastors—trying to accommodate modern social issues don't seem to understand that they are assuming a biblical worldview in order to argue against it. Just "telling people about Jesus" or censoring content misses the need for the foundational information found in the Old Testament.

Gary looks into many verses in the New Testament about whether or not Jesus drank wine with his disciples after His resurrection. At the institution of the Lord's Supper, Jesus said He would not drink the fruit of the vine again until He drank it new with them in His Father's Kingdom (Matthew 26:29). This verse is often used as an argument against preterism, but is it really? Listen now to learn more...

Gary DeMar sat down with Dr. Gary North for an interview regarding theonomy, its critics, and its potential future. In this first part, Dr. North gives a high-level overview of the history of responses that have been leveled against theonomy for more than 40 years, and why they have never been very effective.

Gary responds to an interview with author Jerry Jenkins of Left Behind fame. Jenkins claims that the Bible tells us that time means something different to God than it means to us, yet he still makes the claim that the end times are "probably soon" to happen.

Gary discusses the recent school shooting in Nashville and the "response" from the media and leftists. While we could expect outrage and denouncing of the shooter, what we get instead is sympathy and platitudes. Transgenders are getting more vigilant—and violent—in their reaction to what they believe is oppression. Gary warns that this is only the beginning, and that there will be much more to follow. Christians must get educated and involved.

Gary answers two listener questions regarding progressive dispensationalism and the disciples' question about Jesus' coming in Matthew 24:3.
