Episode Synopsis


Is your faith built on God’s commands—or human inferences? In this episode, we unpack Chalcedon Position Paper No. 108 and tackle a subtle yet serious danger in the church: mistaking our deductions for divine law. From the Pharisees of Jesus’ day to modern-day moralists, Rushdoony warns that adding man-made rules to God’s Word leads to hypocrisy, not holiness. When Scripture speaks, it speaks clearly. But when we elevate our inferences to the level of commandment, we risk becoming “holier than God” and repeating the very errors Christ condemned. Join us as we expose the tyranny of inference-based religion and return to the clarity of God’s true law.
