Summary

I'm amazed at the similarities that exist between modern progressive Christians and the Sadducees in the gospels. I'm even more amazed at how Jesus' roasting of the bad theology of the Sadducees applies to modern liberal theologians and progressives in general. Disclaimer: I am talking about religious progressives or liberal theology, not politics. It's true that those who have liberal theology tend to have liberal politics but they aren't the same thing. In this continuing series through the Gospel of Mark we will see how Jesus brilliantly refutes the Sadducees (and progressives and even Mormons) and we'll learn how we can better identify and not fall victim to the tactics that liberal teachers often use to get us to abandon biblical truth. Man, I love this series and love how applicable it is in our lives today! This is part 48 of a verse by verse study through the Gospel of Mark. See the WHOLE Gospel of Mark playlist here https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLZ3iRMLYFlHuGenHwUdeiQ5M-uj5XW4sF HERE is me dealing with a popular progressive/liberal Christian teacher named Brian Zahnd. This may be my BEST example of how to notice and combat the common tactics of progressives who sadly twist the heart of Christianity and do so in the name of Christ. https://youtu.be/QUNdh1u6774

0:00.0	All right, here's the problem. Here's the problem. I really want to apply the Bible into my life today.
0:07.8	I want to see solutions to the problems I see today in my life and in the world around me.
0:12.1	I want to see those solutions in the
0:13.6	text of scripture, but so often people, they just rip things out of context, they apply things
0:18.3	where it doesn't belong, and they start just verse hunting to chop the Bible into sort of incoherent pieces that can be applied in ways that
0:26.8	maybe God does not intend.
0:29.0	The solution is this, the solution is this, that you do careful Bible study thoughtful verse by verse
0:34.1	study of scripture and you study to understand what it originally meant then the
0:39.5	lights start to go on and when you see what they were dealing with, say in today's text, what Jesus
0:45.2	was dealing with the sat with the sadgesies and how he confronted them, how he rebuked them and what
0:50.0	he pointed out as the problems in their thinking. When we see this, we realize that there are modern
0:54.5	counterparts to the Sadducees, just like there are modern counterparts to the Pharisees, and we can apply
1:00.0	it rightfully
1:04.2	but rather understanding what was actually wrong back then and applying it rightly. This
1:08.6	excites me. This is a journey I get to go on countless times and I get to go on
1:12.0	with you guys as we do verse by
1:13.3	verse teaching which is usually Mondays here at 1 p.m. on the YouTube channel my

1:21.4	Bible and helping people learn to think
1:23.6	biblically about everything and I mean everything and I mean think and I
1:27.3	mean biblically all of those things so my my case in point today is the Sadyses have a modern counterpart and the modern counterpart
1:36.2	of the Sadyses and I'm going to build the case let me just tell it to you and then I'll build it with you
