Summary
Pastor Wilson discusses the Greek word "athemitos", Theodore Dalrymple's book "Life at the Bottom", and he tops the whole thing off with his thoughts on the NFL and its athletes refusing to stand for the national anthem. Make sure to join him every Wednesday for his newest episodes! Happy Plodding!
Shownotes:
Hamartiology: “Athemitos”
- Acts 10:28 & 1 Peter 4:3
- rendered as an “unlawful thing” and also translated as “abominable”
- the moralistic man rejects evil because he has to, but secretly wishes he could get in on the action while the moral man rejects evil in its entirety because he sees it as abominable
Theodore Dalrymple—Life at the Bottom
- good for Americans to read because he shows that certain pathologies crop up when people are treated in a certain way
- shows the destruction of evading personal responsibilities
- bureaucrats can’t pay people to evade their responsibilities and then get surprised when it all falls apart
The NFL & National Anthem:
- professional sports is entertainment and depends on the fans paying to watch games
- huge disconnect between players and fans
- surprising that the athletes are rejecting their fans
- ESPN & the NFL are losing fans and customers because of this and have made their fanbase mad

| 0:14.0 | God don't never |
| 0:18.0 | So I want to begin with our Martiology section, our study of various words in the New Testament that are used for various |
| 0:26.5 | sins. The word a the thelemetas, Athelythe, good grief. |
| 0:35.0 | All right, the word Atheme Toss, |
| 0:37.0 | occurs twice in the New Testament. |
| 0:41.0 | The first time is in Acts 1028 and it's rendered there as as |
| 0:46.4 | unlawful thing. First, First Peter 4.3 contains the word also where it is translated as abominable. |
| 0:55.0 | So the first usage, acts 1028 is unlawful thing. |
| 0:59.0 | 1st Peter 4.3 renders it as abominable. |
| 1:04.1 | So in the first instance, Peter uses the word |
| 1:07.7 | to describe how it had been quote unquote unlawful |
| 1:11.5 | for Jews to keep close company with Gentiles. But now that God |
| 1:15.4 | had removed the barrier between the two, we should accept his will in it. So |
| 1:19.7 | God has removed the barrier that he God had set up in the Old Testament laws or at least |
| 1:25.9 | the initial impetus in the Old Testament laws. |
| 1:28.7 | But to get a sense of this word, we have to know that Jew Gentile Table Fellowship, prior to the time when Christ declared all foods clean, |
| 1:36.1 | would not just have been something that would have made the Jew guilty of an infraction. |
| 1:41.6 | It was the kind of unlawful that would have grossed him out. It would have been abominable. |
| 1:47.0 | In other words, it's not just against a rule to associate closely with a Gentile, it would have been detestable to do so. |
| 1:58.0 | Abominable actions of a moral nature are in view in the passage in 1st Peter 4. So it had to do with Jews and |
| 2:06.2 | Gentiles in the axe passage and it has to do with morality in the 1st Peter |
