51 - Prophecy and the Ten Commandments

After reading some email about taxation (is it theft? Yes and no!) we dive into a discussion of the application of the law--who it's for, why we need it, and where it comes from... and how our view of prophecy, and our ideas of interpreting the Bible, influence our perspective on the law.

This Episode Features: Taxation And Tyranny; Prophecy And Law; Stealing Gnostic Thunder; The End Of The World As We Know It (And I Feel Fine); 17th-Century Devotional Mysticism And Anabaptist Political Thought; and Eating One's Vegetables.
