·1 hr 8 min·5 clips

Chadd explains why mankind killed God when He came to earth in flesh.

The episode begins with host Chadd Wright introducing a Monday meeting focused on Matthew chapter 26. He mentions the assassination of Charlie Kirk and plans to discuss it on Wednesday. The team shares casual banter, including a humorous story about crapping pants, before transitioning to the biblical study. Chadd emphasizes the severity of humanity's fallen nature, arguing that mankind killed God when He came to earth. He connects this to modern issues, criticizing sexual perversions like pornography and sodomy as root problems. A discussion ensues about free will and responsibility, with Blake expressing concerns about contradictions in their teachings. Chadd clarifies that exhortations to stop sinning are only for regenerate Christians, not the unregenerate. The team explores why Christians cannot unify with the world, comparing it to the impossibility of unifying different religions. They note that even Christians require Christ as a unifier. The study delves into specific verses from Matthew 26, including Judas's betrayal, Peter cutting off a servant's ear, and Jesus' arrest. Chadd warns of coming persecution for outspoken Christians and questions if listeners are distancing themselves from Jesus. The trial before the Sanhedrin is examined, highlighting false testimony and Jesus' silence. Peter's denial of Jesus is discussed in detail, with reflections on his later restoration and leadership. The team relates Peter's experience to modern Christians who deny Jesus in subtle ways, such as avoiding gospel-sharing opportunities. The episode concludes with a preview of Matthew chapter 27 and a request for listener input on future study books.
