The Go To Hell Podcast

Act as if

Apologies, folks. This is an episode that got lost in the ol’ Go To Hell hopper. Recorded about a month ago, it was briefly forgotten by the shows producer (ahem… Tim), but it an important one. We start on our usual light note, with a conversation about the best movies of this century and the current state of movie making. 
(00:01:16) Using the show’s seemingly topic du jour, pacificism, what would happen if Christians just acted as if in their walk with Jesus? Instead, on so many issues we try to stealman the Gospel, all too often causing us to not act on what we're called to do. If you’re tired of the pacifism topic, please know this is not a debate about it but a much more consequential discussion.

Turning Point in the USA?

Don’t Gerry My Mander

Tim highlights his visit to Oklahoma, Colton reflects on his first week of water polo season. Then, it’s been eighty years since the United States dropped atomic bombs on Japan. We have a followup discussion on the decision making process, efficacy and morality in dropping the ghoulish weapon. Finally, we discuss the ridiculous political fight over gerrymandering, specifically between Texas and California. While strange, gerrymandering is as old as the republic and legal, within limits. We are in an age of partisan Caesarism and it is leading us to ruin.

The Perils of Wrath

As public support for the state of Israel plummets arround the world, including in the U.S, we share our views about what is going on in Gaza and around Israel. And as it relates to Israel and our own lives, what happens when we give ourselves over to wrath? What does Jesus say about wrath and how to break the cycle of wrath? (Matthew 5:23-25)
Wrath looks like…..
Punishment instead of resolution
Replaying wrongs over and over
Outbursts out of proportion
Desire to hurt or shame
Refusal to forgive or even engage
Stage 1. We get angry
Stage 2. Our ego gets involved 
Stage 3. We become the sell righteous victim 
Stage 4. We give in to contempt. We take our anger and make it king or queen 
Stage 5. It leaks out of our hearts. Goes public
Stage 6. Hell on earth. Take it out on others
Stage 7. Destruction

Message In a Bottle

While many American Christians spend a lot of time talking about the defence of Israel, there is silence about the killing and displacement of Christians by the U.S.-backed Syrian goverment. Why? Then we discuss a strange story involving missions work in South and North Korea. Finally, we share our thoughts on the passing of pastor John Macarthur. While we disagree with much of his Christian theology, the man was a giant who faithfully served Christ.

War, Politics, and Theology: Unpacking the Complexities

The episode delves into the intricate relationship between politics, war, and theology, exploring the implications of the recent conflicts involving Israel and Iran. It challenges the common dispensationalist beliefs among Christians, particularly the notion of the modern state of Israel in relation to biblical prophecy. We critique the idea that current geopolitical events are precursors to the end times, as portrayed in the Book of Revelation, and explore the historical and theological context of these beliefs.
The conversation extends to the role of U.S. foreign policy, questioning the validity of military actions and their alignment with moral and constitutional principles.

For What It's Worth?

Let's delve into the relevance and effectiveness of protests in modern society. We examine historical movements and contrast them with contemporary protests, such as the No Kings Day demonstrations, questioning whether peaceful assembly still serves as an effective tool for change. Have they really ever been effective? Is there potential for initiating conversations or merely serving as a platform for virtue signaling?
