190104 – The Flashlight Of The Gospel
In this week’s enlightening Powercast, Michael and Don are get all lit as they continue their deep dive into Hebrews Chapter One. Mike coined the term “The Flashlight of the Gospel” and speaks to how when the light is shined on the revelatory text of the Scriptures and the New Testament Writings an amazing process ensues. The teacher becomes the student and vice versa! This epic

Unity! Oneness! Togetherness!
On this week’s Power-laden Powercast, Michael Lilborn Williams and Don Beres Bartlett dive head first into the Book of Hebrews. The articulation of the Creator’s and our oneness is so wonderfully evident. However, as always, we must get past the tradition, misrepresentation, faulty translations and outright treachery of religious tradition.
For example in the “King Jimmy”

Good versus perfect
Christianity settles for “good” that it, snatching defeat from the jaws of victory with two millenia of fractured friction, turns into “bad”. Wouldn’t you prefer “perfect”?

Reset
This week Mike and Don, after a 5 week hiatus, come back strong with some choice thoughts on the CPR (Consistent, Perwsistent, Repetitive) effect of the Gospel, and showcase selected highlights of the Upcoming Hebrews series.

You Have A New Body!

No Fault Divorce
In this week’s Probing, Provocative, Powerful Powercast, Michael and Don continue their study in Galatians. They compare and contrast what living under the Law was all about in all its implications and unfortunately how people on this side of the Cross put themselves back under it in an attempt to live “Biblically”.
For example, what does the Mosaic Law have to say about “no fault divorce”? What is “Biblical divorce”?
Here is the good news! If you slip, and “fall from grace” by putting yourself back under the law and its shame and guilt system, you can get out just as easily! “Repent”, which simply means “change your mind”. You went back under the law through your thoughts. You get out of it the same way. Change your mind!
Know you are absolutely free to be your most authentic self all provided through the redemption of Christ!

The Sin Scam
Paul said elsewhere that we were only enemy’s of God IN OUR MINDS and when that happens, we make ourselves “sinners”. We’re visiting a “Sin City” that only exists between our ears!
The question becomes further befuddled by typical Christian teaching that we are “sinners saved by grace”
YOU HAVE NEVER BEEN A SINNER. YOU HAVE NEVER SINNED!
On this side of the Cross, “wrong” does not equal “sin”. Because what is “wrong” where you live (or what is illegal) is NOT necessarily wrong where others reside. Laws differ in various regions. However, Christianity teaches that “wrong” and “sin” are synonymous and so, too, are “good” and “righteousness”.
If you break the law in your city, then you have done wrong. Then the question about “sin” becomes, have you actually sinned because you break the law of your government or have you just done wrong?
Have you ACTUALLY sinned? Or are you a sinner only in your imagination?

Freed Not To Love
Are we REALLY bound by the command to love one another? You may be surprised as Michael and Don dive deep into this and also discuss male amputation in this exciting Powercast!
/
Monkey Religion
Religion is like falling in love with a beautiful girl but marrying her dress. Michael Lilborn Williams and Don Bartlett check out Galatians 4:19 to 5:2 and see how Paul uses Sarah and Hagar and Sinai and Jerusalem as contrasts in exposing the monkey see-monkey do aspects of the shame based behaviour modification system of religion.

You Are Free-er Than You Think
Subtitle – The Disordileness of Freedom
Freer than we think!
On this week’s power-packed Powercast, Michael and Don address the whole issue of freedom.
Can we be too “free”?
The fellas also eulogize the late, great Ted Winsett.
/
Rules? OR Freedom?
Mike and Don only made it to the end of verse 1 of Galatians chapter 4, where they examine and expose exactly what has” passed with the using” – yes the rudiments of the world have passed and freedom in Christ reigns.

The Path Of Righteousness
For the second week in a row, Mike and Don revisit the last half of Galatians 3 and extract even more nuggets.
/
Religion’s Pillars
On what does Christianity base all its presumptions?
In Galatians 3 we discover that all Christian doctrine is based on reversing what God has declared to be true and presenting that reversed corruption on humanity as gospel.
What a crock!
Christianity says that your faith is what saves you.
Paul says that it is God’s faith that saves you.
You can’t have it both ways. On this sole manifestly decaying

Religion’s Poison
Have you ever noticed that wherever you find politics, something get’s poisoned? Sadly, all to often, truth is the first casualty.
That is what went down in the Book of Galatians. Paul was the first one who opened the eyes of his converts in Galatia to their freedom in Christ.
Pretty soon afterwards, along comes the gang of three: James, Peter and John to convert them to “Jesus plus

All this and more are answered by Michael Lilborn Williams and Don Beers Bartlett this week as they bring you another golden oldie, the third pillar of wisdom: The Doctrine of Scripture. In this episode, we learn what Jesus referred to as scripture, what the writers of the New

Religion’s Politics
If you have never thought of religion being the most political power in history, then fortunately, you have never been that close to it. Religion above any other pursuit of humanity, is about politics, and politics is all about power. The New Testament is merciless in revealing how well this works, right there in the book of Galatians. To this day, religion wants us to think that there was no conflict

Love the process
This week Mike and Don discuss the value of the CPR of the Gospel. Never forget what set you free, the bell that you couldn’t unring, the AHA moment that freed you from th BS of religion. Turn it into a lifelong process, because that is the only thing that keeps on keeping on. You can’t move forward when you dig in your heels.
