Summary
Hosts


Christians must be ready — in season and out of season — to speak the truth. We are not Christians only some of the time, and Christianity, unlike Islam, has no provision for dissimulation — you may not feign to be something other than Christian for the sake of convenience or even safety. Even at risk of life or limb or honor, the Christian must boldly proclaim Christ and Him crucified.
This duty to speak the truth pertains not only to matters of the Christian religion, but also to all other matters. It is not the (perhaps uncharitable formulation of the) Kantian conception of truth — that one must never tell a falsehood of any kind —, but rather a duty to speak the truth when and where the truth is demanded. For instance, the 8th Commandment prohibits us from bearing false witness against our neighbor, and this duty does not terminate upon that neighbor’s death.
The Christian is a Christian at all times and in all things. As Christians, we are to forgive our personal enemies (inimicus), but this does not mean that we have no political or religious enemies (hostis) — for those who are enemies of God are enemies of all Christians. It is the duty, in fact, of Christians to oppose the enemies of God and His Church. And so, in today’s episode, we continue our series on the Jews.

| 0:07.0 | The Welcome to the Stone Choir podcast. I am Corey J. Mahler. |
| 0:41.3 | And I'm still, whoa. |
| 0:43.3 | On today's Stone Quire, we're going to begin part three of our episode discussing the subject of the Jews in history. |
| 0:51.3 | Before we begin, I just want to do a little bit of brief housekeeping. |
| 0:55.0 | First, thank you to everyone who's listening. We had our biggest month ever in June. |
| 1:00.2 | We don't, like we've said on the listener feedback episode, we don't have any creepy tracking, |
| 1:04.3 | so we don't know exact numbers. But based on bandwidth, we're guessing we probably have about |
| 1:09.1 | 3,000 listeners every week, which is |
| 1:11.3 | incredible. It's very humbling for us to have so many people excited to tune in every week, |
| 1:19.2 | and that's entirely word or mouth. That's you sharing with friends. So thank you to everyone |
| 1:23.2 | who's been sharing. It means a lot, and we're thankful that you are getting something out of it. |
| 1:28.8 | If you want to help continue spreading the word, please take a moment in your podcast, |
| 1:34.3 | player to leave us a five-star review. Five-star doesn't mean you agree with everything we say. |
| 1:39.9 | Basically, it's like a thumbs-up or thumbs-down. If you give something less than five-stars, |
| 1:44.0 | it drags the score down. |
| 1:46.0 | And just the way people's minds work, anything less than like 4.8, 4.9, people are like, |
| 1:51.0 | maybe that's not so good. |
| 1:52.0 | So if you like us at all, please leave a five star to offset the jerks who leave one-star reviews because they're bitter hate listeners. |
| 2:00.0 | On the subject of access to the podcast, |
| 2:04.2 | eventually there may come a day where we do get censored by some of the podcast listings. |
| 2:10.1 | As we mention every week, we have show notes. There's a website, if you weren't aware, |
