Tune in to hear Pastor Wilson talk about Abolitionism and the art of the deal. Then he plugs The Reformed Doctrine of Predestination, and ties things off with a talk about the Greek word “Alisgema”. Happy Plodding!  Show Notes: Abolitionism & The Art of the Deal: How can we draw a lesson from the left when it comes from political engagement on the pro-life issue one of the things the left does very well is that they don’t apologize for the activists on the extreme edges of their movement if someone fighting for the same cause is doing something that is ill advised, it is really important for incrementalists to not apologize for the abolitionists don’t spend your time fighting the abolitionists, spend your time fighting the pro abortionists  The Reformed Doctrine of Predestination: written by Loraine Boettner has a lot of wonderful textual citations in the Bible that show how God governs everything if anyone is interested in a good introduction to the reformed doctrine of predestination it is a wonderful book Alisgema: this is the word for pollution, and is used once (Acts 15:20) the Gentiles needed to abstain from certain basic things, among them the pollutions of idols the end result of all forms of idolatry is always pollution, usually sexual we need to be wary of nature worship, (going green)
