Why do revolutions fail—and what kind of authority can truly hold a society together? In this episode, R.J. Rushdoony traces the deep conflict between elitism, equalitarianism, and Biblical authority. From aristocrats to academics, man-made power structures always collapse under sin. Only Christ’s atonement can restore true authority—rooted not in control, but in covenant service. Tune in to discover why regeneration, not revolution, is the only path to real community.

Heresy originally meant choice—placing personal opinion above God’s revealed truth. Throughout history, heresies have taken many forms, but they share a common root: redefining God, Christ, or salvation to fit human philosophy rather than Scripture.

From ancient Gnosticism and Arianism to modern process theology, heresy consistently undermines revelation, incarnation, and God’s authority. When man reshapes theology, truth erodes. Orthodoxy is not rigidity—it is faithfulness to the God who has spoken.

Modern religion often claims belief in God while rejecting His law. When pastors say Jesus had “no rules,” they replace God’s authority with human preference. A god without law makes no claim on our lives—and therefore changes nothing.

This antinomian faith breeds lawlessness. When obedience is grounded in feelings instead of God’s commandments, man dethrones God and enthrones himself. God is not dethroned in reality—only in man’s imagination. He still reigns, and the call remains: repent and submit to His rule.
