A single witness shall not suffice against a person for any crime or for any wrong in connection with any offense that he has committed only on the evidence of two witnesses or three witnesses.

00:13

Shall a charge be established? What's up, y 'all? Welcome back to another episode of Apologia Radio coming at you guys from a very wet

00:20

Phoenix, Arizona. Lots of flooding. I don't think we did a good job when we set up the infrastructure of the city on dealing with the flooding.

00:28

Sort of the older areas. The newer areas are OK, but decent. Yeah, yes. Decent. So coming at you guys from Phoenix, Arizona, we've had a time.

00:36

I was coming back from Kauai for a mission for our church plan out there. And I saw a news report that said that we were going to get all the rain from like a hurricane or something.

00:45

It was coming to the Pacific and go all the way up to Las Vegas. So I was kind of excited about that. I love the rain.

00:51

Yeah, I love it. When it rains here in Arizona, when it rains, it really rains here in Arizona. Man, does it ever rain? And surprising, actually, in the desert.

00:59

Yeah, it just doesn't last long. We get some serious rain and floods and it's wild. I had actually run across town last night to get my wife and my son, who

01:06

I apparently thought he was going to die in a flood. He had to pull the car over. It couldn't get out of the water. And he

01:12

I guess he thought he was like, dude, you got to come save us, dad. Oh, my God. Come save us. Is that Sage? I think no.

01:19

My 10 year old. I actually I'm Jeff the Ninja. That's Luke the Bear. That's Joy the Girl. Apologia Radio, Apologia Studios dot com.

01:25

That's where you go to get more. I think that Stellar, my 10 year old, I think he was legitimately traumatized.

01:32

I honestly think that he has PTSD because of the nuclear attack.

01:37

Yeah. Yeah. When we were in Kauai, we were in Kauai when the ballistic missile warning coming in came into our phones.

01:45

Not from the president. That's right. He said, yeah, he said, this is not a test. You know, ballistic missile inbound to Hawaii.

01:53

This is not a test. So he was there when that happened. And every time now that that stupid thing goes off my phone,

02:00

I'm telling you, Stellar, he melts. Yeah. And he's like, well, I was with him one time. Yeah. And something

02:07

I don't know what I don't know what it was. A storm or Amber Alert or something. But he like as soon as he heard that tone, he just like launched into.

02:15

Yeah. The story about. Yeah. The missile. And he started grabbing mattresses and loaves of bread.

02:21

Yeah. We were throwing the mattresses on everyone. Scary for a kid. Yeah. I'm sure that sticks fresh in your mind. No, my kids did a little bit, too.

02:28

Like, what is that? Oh, yeah. But it really messed him up. Well, it's easy to be like, oh, well, nothing happened.

02:33

But you guys actually thought something was going to happen. I was throwing mattresses and blankets and pillows all over everyone, throwing food in and running around.

02:43

He's seriously traumatized. I mean, I was washing my beard, but yeah, he was in the shower just taking his time.

02:49

I'm going out. My beard's going to look. I'm going to look good and clean. Going out in style. That's right. Is that why you're wearing your rain jacket, though?

02:56

Because all the rain is all the rain. Yeah, it's it's funny. I come in today. It's it's it rains. So it's eighty four degrees today.

03:01

And like half the people in the studio are wearing sweaters and jackets. I know you are. But like I'm like, like Sage has on like a

03:09

Mr. Rogers cardigan cardigan. I'm like, dude, it's eighty four degrees outside. Well, that's cold.

03:15

What are you talking about? That's the thing about Arizona, right? Is we live in a desert. So the moment we get just a hint of like relief in the weather and rain or just a hint when it drops down to like eighty five in Arizona, we're like, oh, winter's coming.

03:27

Like, you know, I mean, I put a shirt on, so I was like, yeah, you know. Also, I'm just going to say that we keep the studio at like sixty eight.

03:37

We do. This is true. We do give it awfully cold in here. Yeah. So it might be eighty four outside.

03:42

Yeah, but it's like sixty in here. Yeah. So welcome back to another episode of Apology Radio. We have an important episode we're going to do today.

03:49

We're going to talk today about standards of justice. So God's standards of justice. We're going to talk about the

03:56

Kavanaugh issue. Dr. Christine Ford. We're going to talk about as Christians, how should we approach this?

04:02

Because, of course, many of us have been inundated in our feeds and across our platforms with all the discussions, the videos from the hearing and all the news reports, everything, you know, just I mean, just a wide spectrum of opinions.

04:15

And so we think it's important for us to actually face this issue down like Christians and not sort of be arbitrary in our thinking about it or just apply our own standards, our own thoughts like the world is doing.

04:27

We think that we should actually go to the word of God and ask the question, what does God say in terms of how we're supposed to respond to accusations?

04:35

What what are the rights of the person who's being accused? What's the rights of the victim? So we wanted to do a show today actually talking about the law of God in reference to the

04:44

Kavanaugh and Dr. Ford hearing and situation. So that's what we're going to do today. I want to encourage everybody to go to ApologiaStudios .com.

04:52

You can get over, I think, over 300 radio and podcast episodes right now. Go there. I would encourage you to subscribe to us on YouTube, Apologia Radio.

05:00

I want to just encourage you to look at it, because over all the years we've done Apologia Radio, we've had some of the best theologians, scholars, scientists on the radio program dealing with a host of different issues.

05:10

We think that you'll find something there that will really bless you. So go there, subscribe on iTunes, Apologia Radio. Also, I want to encourage you to pray for us for End Abortion Now.

05:19

End Abortion Now, God is tremendously blessing. Right now, we have close to 300 churches across the United States that are going out and saving children on a daily basis, preaching the gospel outside the abortion mills.

05:30

And we've been given a tremendous gift by God, an honor to go to Australia and New Zealand in the month of November to actually encourage churches out there and equip churches out there to do the same kind of work that we're doing in the

05:43

U .S. right now. So it's a tremendous privilege and opportunity for us to go do that. I want to say thank you to everybody that actually has given to End Abortion Now over the last two years.

05:52

We didn't anticipate having this ministry. God gave it to us, and he's been blessing it in tremendous ways beyond our own capabilities and our own comprehension.

06:01

And so I want to thank you all for being a part of it with us. This is, of course, Apologia Studios and the ministry here, but it doesn't take place without you.

06:09

And so I want to thank you for all of your participation, whether it's prayerful, whether it's sharing the content or whether it was giving financially.

06:15

You made all this possible. You're a part of this ministry with us. So thank you for that. You can't spell Apologia Studios without you.

06:22

That's right. It's true. Yes, that's right. It's true.

06:28

So we are. I checked. That's right. So we have a lot to talk about today.

06:34

We're going to try to condense the episode down today, not to do a two hour long episode, but a shorter episode. But before we get into the topic for today and get into the word of God and talk about all these things, let's hand it over to Joy.

06:45

Yeah, I have a really interesting. Piece of news to bring to you today, it's a little bit older, so maybe you guys have heard about it, but within the past few weeks.

06:55

So did you guys hear about Domino's tattoos in Russia?

07:01

I did hear. Oh, no, no. In Russia, Domino's created this promotion where anyone could get a visible.

07:11

Yeah. Tattoo of the logo. You can be however you want. I didn't know it was Russia. I thought it was here. No, it was

07:16

Russia. If it was here, I would have done it by now. And so if you did that, you could get a hundred pizzas a year.

07:23

Yeah. For a hundred years. For free. What? I would have done it by now if it was the

07:28

States. This sounds so Russia. It sounds so Russia. Does it come with vodka? Vodka.

07:34

I don't know how there. What is pizza like in Russia? It's probably different.

07:40

I would imagine maybe it's a little different. Yeah, I mean, are they big on fish in Russia? They probably have fish.

07:45

Yeah, like everybody in the States, even in the UK. Like the food is all a little different. Even like, yeah, it is fast food.

07:51

Yeah. Instead of marinara. It's just a Russian vodka poured over that. Yes. Yeah. Vodka sauce.

07:56

There you go. Anyway, so basically they had people flooded to get this.

08:06

So people actually bought. People did it. It's all over. It's all over Instagram. People went and got a tattoo of the

08:15

Domino's logo. A lot of people were like a little bit creative with it and had like a pizza slice and all this stuff. Anyway.

08:20

I would have got the Noid. The what? Remember the Noid? Yeah, the Noid. From the 80s. Remember that goofy like.

08:26

Avoid the Noid. Character they had. And he had like ears. It was a character that he's a little creature that made your food cold.

08:32

You don't remember the Noid? No. How do I not remember this? I don't know. I have a little toy Noid. It was

08:38

Domino's. Domino's said avoid the Noid. Order through Domino's. I remember that. Yes.

08:44

Because your pizza will get there soon and it won't be cold. Oh, okay. Okay. The Noid was like a little. I don't remember the creature, but I remember the saying.

08:50

Yeah. Yes. Okay. So anyway, so many people did this. That Russian Domino's couldn't handle it.

08:56

But they made a promise. So they amended their statement. Oh, post -tattoo.

09:02

Yes. So they said that they're sticking to 350 lucky free pizza winners.

09:08

So if you got the tattoo, you are now eligible to be one of 350 people.

09:14

This was not well thought out. No. No. Not at all. Some drunk Russian manager was like, this will be a good idea.

09:22

People, so many people got this. Did Putin get it? I don't know if it's just a, I don't know if it's like a, like if they're trying to give a good news story.

09:30

So they're trying to make it seem like more people got it than they really did. But I feel like a few people with Domino's tattoos are not going to be getting a hundred free pizzas for a hundred years.

09:40

So, okay. So let's think about this for a second. If you get a hundred free pizzas, if you get a hundred free pizzas a year for a hundred years, you could technically survive.

09:47

Oh yeah. As a human. Right. Oh easily. Yeah. You can technically survive off of this diet. For the cost of a tattoo.

09:53

Yeah. Cause I mean, obviously you'd be going days. Well, you just slice it up and you can just sparse out the pizza slices.

09:59

Slice it up. One pizza every 3 .6, five days.

10:04

You take the same pizza and just sort of distribute it over several days. You could literally survive off of Domino's pizza for the rest of your life.

10:10

You will not look well. Well, I mean, what if you, you could get like no cheese and just like have them pile a bunch of vegetables on it.

10:17

That's not too horrible. Nope. Keep it to two slices. Yeah. You can do breakfast pizzas I wonder. That's right. Yeah.

10:22

You could. I don't know. Well, apparently you can only do it if you're one of the 350 winners. Wow. Otherwise you just have yourself a very nice Domino's tattoo.

10:31

Somebody got in a lot of trouble. I imagine higher up. Like that's just not something you can go back.

10:39

You literally can't go back on it. Right, right. Like you can't, you have a tattoo forever. So are there, are

10:45

Russians as litigious as us in the US? Are they all suing Domino's? Are they allowed to be? That's a good question.

10:51

I don't know. Cause in America, Domino's would now be officially over. They'd be done because they'd be sued by every person that did it.

11:00

Right. Yup. I imagine they would be. So that's crazy. Anyway, good luck to the 350 people.

11:07

Right. Yeah. And to the rest of you with your Domino's tattoo. That's right. Sorry about that. That's right.

11:13

So. I wouldn't, I would never do, I wouldn't do it. That's, I just, it's wild to actually cut into your body like that for free pizza and then end up not getting what you asked for.
