Episode Details

Is modern war just politics by other means—or something even more dangerous? In this episode, we dig into Chalcedon Position Paper No. 131: "Biblical Military Laws." R.J. Rushdoony unpacks how Scripture views warfare: not as a tool of national pride or revolutionary change, but as a limited, defensive act governed by God’s justice. From exemptions for newlyweds to forbidden alliances with ungodly nations, Biblical warfare is a far cry from today’s total wars and imperial entanglements. What does it mean when war becomes a tool of social engineering—against your own people? Join us as we explore the forgotten laws of war, the real roots of conflict, and why the first battlefield is always the human heart.
