The Gary DeMar Podcast

Gary discusses a recent article about artificial intelligence and preaching by Russell Moore. The article raises many important points and Gary takes it in several different directions. AI only does what the programmer tells it to do and Christians need to learn and lead the way on using AI to promote and accurately proclaim the Gospel, rather than hiding from it in fear as an indicator of the "end times."

In this excerpt from a recent Burros of Berea round table, Gary gives several examples of how Christians should do apologetics. Using what Greg Bahnsen called "pushing the antithesis" Christians must force unbelievers to own their materialistic assumptions about reality. Matter does not give us ethics or morality, these must come from a Being. Listen to the full discussion here: https://rss.com/podcasts/burrosofberea/765632/

Gary discusses an interview he read with a female track and field athlete about what she believes would be the end of sports if transexuals are allowed to compete in opposite gender events. This interview made Gary think of a movie from 1949 called Adam's Rib with Spencer Tracy and Katherine Hepburn. What do the two have in common? You'll need to listen to find out...

Gary participated in a round-table discussion recently about Christian worldview and cultural response. While the discussion ran nearly two hours, this short excerpt is a good example of the fun time and great conversation that ensued on this episode of The Burros of Berea.

In this interview from early 2021, Gary is interviewed on the Plow and Potato show. The topic is the relationship between individual households and the State. Who's in charge, and what's their jurisdiction? These questions and many more are discussed in this short but insightful exchange.

Gary discusses several principles from his book God and Government to a class of homeschoolers. What should the Christian response be to the civil government? We are not always to obey, and we are not always to resist. The civil magistrate has a legitimate and biblically defined role. "We must obey God and not man" (Acts 5:29) must be understood in its proper context.

Gary answers a listener question about the difference between how the word "age" is understood in Matthew 13 and Matthew 24. Is there a difference between what Jesus was teaching in the parable of the wheat and tares in Matthew 13, and between the destruction of the city and the temple in Matthew 24?

There's a lot of talk about "free speech" these days. But is it really? Speech is not free in the sense of being without cost; it's free (at least theoretically) in the sense of being without restraint. But those who cry the loudest for "free speech" when they think their's is being restrained, are also the biggest restrictors of speech when given the opportunity.

Gary answers a listener question about resources that best represent and present the dispensational premillennial position. The listener wants to hear the best case for Dispensationalism, even though he has become increasingly convinced of postmillennialism. Gary shows how every position has a couple seemingly perfect Bible verses, but this is not how we should be reading and understanding the Bible as a whole.

The New Testament is filled with references, both explicit and implicit, to Old Testament law and especially the 10 Commandments. Those who believe that the Law is no longer valid and has been done away with by Jesus, do not live lawlessly. All people, even non-Christians, make laws that they expect others to honor and obey. Law is inescapable. The real question is Whose Law? Read the article here: https://americanvision.org/posts/are-christians-exempt-from-keeping-the-ten-commandments/
