Welcome to the Council of Trend Podcast, a production of Catholic Answers.

Hey everyone, welcome to the Council of Trend Podcast. I'm your host, Catherg

I'll be talking about mature, explicit subject matter. So if you normally

let your kids or teenagers listen to my episodes, it might be a good idea to

watch this first to see if it's appropriate for them based on their age and

series where he goes through the book of Exodus in a kind of roundtable format

with other well-known authors, speakers, pastors. Last week he posted a

clip, one of the roundtable guests, the Jewish commenter Dennis Prager,

probably known from the Prager Prager University, says the Old Testament does

not condemn lust and Christians are just wrong about this. And Jordan Peterson

somewhat agrees with Dennis Prager's argument about pornography. So I'm going to

talk about that, but then I want to talk about how some Protestants have an

error related to pornography that is kind of the mirror image of Dennis Prager's

argument. So let's first start with Prager's argument on lust.
