Does Romans 13 mean that we, as Christians, should just submit to the state? Or is there perhaps a better, more nuanced way to understand Romans 13, and therefore what a Christian's relationship to the state should be? Join Doug and guest Matt Bellis (who is also the narrator for the intro of the podcast), as they discuss a recent speech that Matt gave to Reopen Pennsylvania, discussing Romans 13 in the context of God's intentions for human government, and also in light of Old Testament passages, specifically from the books of Exodus and 1st Samuel.

In today's episode, Doug Stuart discusses "woke antisemitism" with David L Bernstein. Bernstein is the author of the book, Woke Antistemitism: How a Progressive Ideology Harms Jews. Bernstein describes himself a left-of-center, civil libertarian who has concerns about the woke progressive ideology infiltrating every facet of American life. His book aims to explain "a firsthand account from a top Jewish leader about how woke ideology shuts down discourse, corrupts Jewish values, and spawns a virulent new strain of antisemitism." This is another great conversation from a non-conservative critic of woke ideology. 00:00 Introduction 01:48 About David Bernstein 03:33 How the progressive left abandoned liberal values 05:31 Bernstein’s approach to disagreeing with the woke left 07:04 What does it mean to be 'woke'? 09:11 How did you come to write this book? 11:34 Marxist/Hegelian undercurrent in woke ideology? 13:52 "Jewish privilege" and the question of Jewish (so-called) "whiteness" 19:20 Whiteness as a property - not about your appearance, but your philosophy or worldview 21:31 Critical race theory taught in public schools and pedagogy to demagogy 24:21 Woke progressives in the Jewish community 28:16 The "McWhorter test" 33:00 Afraid to speak up - "double think" - encouraging people to disagree 38:52 Rebuilding the Center strategy 42:14 Closing comments SUBSCRIBE to our channel: https://www.youtube.com/c/LibertarianChristianInstitute?sub_confirmation=1 DONATE to LCI to further our mission: https://libertarianchristians.com/donate/ VISIT our website for the most consistent Christian political thought: https://libertarianchristians.com/ ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tz3MQMaCbtg
