The UnSunday Show

Mike Adams

The UnSunday Show asks honest questions about the origin and validity of institutional church rules, traditions, and practices. These religious rules and practices lead us away from the simplicity of the gospel and into an exhausting performance-based experience that is designed to perpetuate itself by placing ever increasing demands on its people and are of no value in Christ. If you're exhausted from trying to keep all the religious rules that have been placed on you, listen in to these conversations as we rediscover the freedom we've been given, apart from religion and empty religious obligation.

Once Saved Always Saved and Falling From Grace (67)

A friend reached out to me recently asking about what's commonly called once saved, always saved. The mixed messages we hear in institutional religious settings can cast doubt on the sufficiency of Christ's once-for-all-time sacrifice for sins and the permanence of our salvation. In my experience, religion does this in two primary ways: By making performance-based Christianity the litmus test for spirituality. By convincing its followers that sin or failure to conform to the institution's rules can actually cause us to fall from grace and lose our salvation. Both of these are dangerous fallacies designed to keep us dependent upon religion while doubting the sufficiency of Jesus' death on the cross. Let's talk...

Five Words That Drove The Church to Kill William Tyndale, Pt 5: Love, not Acts of Charity (66)

This episode is the last of five episodes exploring William Tyndale's use of five words in his translation of the Greek New Testament into English, that resulted in his death at the hands of church leaders. In this series I've been concentrating more on the meaning of the words and their intent, than I have been about the religious climate of the day. The five words are: Elder instead of Priest Congregation instead of Church Repent instead of Do Penance Acknowledge instead of Confess Love instead of Acts of Charity Tyndale (1494-1536) was killed for refusing to translate these five words the way the church wanted them translated. His refusal to conform to the institutional church's directives, resulted in his death by strangulation, followed by his body being burned. In this episode, we look at his choice of the word love instead of acts of charity. The book I recommend in this series – William Tyndale: A Biography, by David Daniell. https://amzn.to/3BhYMr1 Other Places You'll Find Me The Grace Cafe Podcast: https://www.gracecafepodcast.com TikTok https://www.tiktok.com/@unsunday.mike Instagram https://www.instagram.com/unsundayshow YouTube https://www.youtube.com/c/TheUnSundayShow Leave Me a Rating/Review
