Election Day Special Episode!

God's revelation is Progressive, but his standards and the morality of the virtues don't change.

This is evident with Adam, as Adam all dies, and he enforces this with Cain and Abel. The emphasis was on punishment and protecting even the criminal from the wrong actions of others; Jesus said, I am not come to destroy but to fulfill. He came to magnify the law and make it honorable.

Forgiveness was brought to the forefront; mercy and love became the new sign of a true follower. Whereas under Moses, it had been obedience to God's commands, emphasizing the seventh Sabbath. Even there, it was the communion aspect with God that was important, but nonetheless, the punishment was death. We have further progress revelation to achieve the one of humanity. The equality of the sexes is the equality of the races; however, the moral values remain the same. There was always a tree that had no passing. Anyone who tries to be more merciful, more loving, and more tolerant than God is crossing beyond the tree, which has no passing and is exercising imagination and fancies.

In this special conservation around the future of our nation, we welcome back philosopher Daniel Sanderson, who will share the new concepts and ideas from his book, Plato Reimagined. Sanderson will explore how Plato might perceive today’s societal values and politics, reinterpreting ancient dialogues to illuminate what Plato’s perspectives could bring to our modern world.
