Nate battles the flu while Scripture and wild headlines collide over Christians under the law of Moses and modern madness.

Are Christians Under the Law of Moses? Crazy Crimes & Skillet Drama

What happens when flu season hits hard and TikTok atheists mock prayer for healing? Nate returns still under the weather, noting that trials test faith and build character rather than vanishing on demand. He then dives straight into the question of whether Christians under the law of Moses remain bound by its commands. Drawing from clear Old and New Testament texts, he shows the law was given to Israel alone, fulfilled perfectly by Christ, and never imposed on Gentile believers. From Psalms and Exodus to the Jerusalem Council, the case is airtight. Then the conversation turns to an increasingly unhinged world of shocking crimes, parental rage, digital control attempts, and a Christian rock band controversy. Here is the recap.

Christians Under the Law of Moses: The Biblical Bottom Line

Nate opens with a rapid-fire survey of Scripture proving Christians are not under the law of Moses. Psalm 147:19-20 declares God’s statutes were given to Israel, not other nations. Exodus 19:3-6 and Leviticus 27:34 specify the audience as the people of Israel before the Ten Commandments and throughout Leviticus. Exodus 31:16-17 and Genesis 17 mark the Sabbath and circumcision as national covenant signs for Israel alone. Malachi 4:4 recalls the law given at Horeb for all Israel. In the New Testament, Romans 2:14 notes Gentiles never had the law yet sometimes do by nature what it requires. Romans 3:19 limits the law’s address to those under it. Ephesians 2:11-12 describes pre-Christ Gentiles as foreigners to the covenants. Most decisively, Acts 15:24-29 records the Jerusalem Council refusing to burden Gentile believers with the Mosaic requirements beyond four baseline practices for fellowship. Jesus kept the law perfectly as our substitute; His righteousness is imputed to us. We keep it better than any legalist because He never sinned.

Paul addresses the same freedom in Romans 10:4 when he writes that Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to everyone who believes.

When the Social Contract Snaps: Fire Trucks, Football Fields, and OnlyFans

After the theology, Nate surveys headlines that feel like satire. A Wyoming mother pleaded guilty to murdering her 11-month-old son, telling police it was “worth it” so the father could not gain custody. The full report is at The Post Millennial. Then a New Hampshire man whose house was on fire stole the rescue truck from the firefighters trying to save it, nearly killed three of them, crashed it, and tried to rob a porch. Details appear at Dissenter. A Wisconsin parent stormed a U10 football field and deliberately tripped a nine-year-old running for a touchdown; the coach said the intent was clear. Watch the coverage at Fox News. California lawmakers unanimously exempted Linux and open-source software from a new age-verification law, a small victory against digital ID creep documented at Tom’s Hardware. Finally, Skillet dropped opening act Bad Wolves after fans discovered the new singer’s explicit OnlyFans page and transgender status, a teachable moment on light and darkness covered by Protestia.
