In 2 Peter 3:15-17, Peter warns that Paul’s letters contain content that is “hard to understand” and which “the ignorant and unstable” misinterpret. He then connects the mishandling of Paul’s letters to “lawless people.” In this video, I argue that 2 Peter 3:15-17 represents Peter’s warning regarding antinomians (individuals who reject God’s law) who misinterpret passages in Paul’s letters to advocate for lawlessness.
The Law of Christ vs. the Law of Moses? (Galatians 6:2; 1 Corinthians 9:21)
The expression “law of Christ” appears only two times in the New Testament (Galatians 6:2; 1 Corinthians 9:21). Traditionally, interpreters have frequently understood this expression to refer to a new “law” or ethic that supersedes the law of Moses. However, there is a growing scholarly consensus that “law of Christ” directly refers to the law of Moses in some sense. This video makes a case for interpreting the phrase “law of Christ” in Galatians 6:2 and 1 Corinthians 9:21 as a reference to the law of Moses as it is taught and exemplified by Christ.

Monogamy: God's Creational Marriage Ideal
One fundamental theological principle revealed in the Genesis creation accounts is that marriage, as God intended it, is to be monogamous. In this video, we demonstrate how the Bible upholds this marital form as the ideal standard. Afterward, we address a polygamy advocate's objections to this biblical concept.
Does Leviticus 18:18 Prohibit Polygamy?
Numerous scholars have argued that Leviticus 18:18 prohibits not just sororal polygyny (a polygamous marriage between a man and two women who are sisters) but polygamy generally. In this video, we unpack the historical and textual evidence that supports this view. We also address a polygamy advocate's objections to this interpretation.

How to Celebrate Passover
One of the most important annual events on the Hebrew calendar is the Passover meal and the seven-day Feast of Unleavened Bread. This powerful biblical holiday commemorates the Exodus story—the deliverance of Israel from their slavery in ancient Egypt. For Christians, this story is a prophetic picture of our own deliverance from slavery to sin. How do we celebrate this amazing season?
