Summary

Why do so many Christians find it acceptable to stay silent in the face of evil? Historian Bill Federer joins Frank to discuss his latest book, 'Silence Equals Consent: The Sin of Omission,' the Church's history of political indifference, and explore why now, more than ever, Christians must engage with the world to preserve (religious) freedom.Together, they tackle key questions, including:* How did God address globalism in the Bible?* What subtle tactics has Satan used to keep Christians silent?* How did America’s founders draw inspiration from ancient Israel's covenant government?* What happens when Christians stop speaking up and lose their influence in society?* How should Romans 13 be interpreted in a self-governing republic versus a monarchy?Resources mentioned during the episode:Billi's book: https://www.amazon.com/dp/1736959077 (https://www.amazon.com/dp/1736959077)Bill's website: https://americanminute.com/ (https://americanminute.com/)

0:00.0	Ladies and gentlemen James the half brother of Jesus wrote this in that little book he wrote by the name of James to him who knows to do good and
0:17.5	does not do it to him it is sin in other words there is a sin of omission and the question we have
0:28.1	today for our guest who has been on the program many times for many times before for good reason the great
0:34.5	Bill Federer is where does history or what what has happened in history that makes Christians think that we can be silent on issues
0:48.8	that affect people in a very dramatic way, that we could just kind of sit back and be silent and not
0:56.9	get involved to protect innocent people from evil because James says it's sin. In fact in the Old Testament Proverbs 24 said
1:06.6	rescue those who are unjustly sentenced to death do not stand back and let them die. Do not try to disclaim responsibility
1:15.0	by saying you did not know about it. For God who knows all hearts, knows yours, and
1:21.0	he knows you knew and he will repay everyone according to his deeds.
1:25.0	That's actually Proverbs 2411 to 12.
1:27.4	And actually when the Israelites were sacrificing their babies to Molak, the. the of the community closes their eyes when that man sacrifices one of his children to Molak.
1:46.4	I myself will set my face against him and his family and will cut them off from the people together.
1:55.0	That's, that's Leviticus 20.
1:58.0	The first, the first verse is 1 to 5,
2:02.0	I abbreviated them a little bit but here's God
2:05.1	actually saying if you close your eyes to this kind of evil God says at least to
2:11.2	the ancient Israelites I will set my face against him and his family
2:15.3	and cut them off from the people together. God does not like it when we allow evil to go unspoken of when we don't resist evil at all.
2:29.0	The question is, where does this idea come from that we can just be silent when evil is being done?
2:36.0	And the answer of course is in history and our great friend Bill Federer can tell us.
2:41.0	Now Bill, you just wrote a brand new book. It's very up to date. It's got
2:44.2	quotes from from this year in at 2024. It's called Silence equals Consent.
