October 10, 2022 Show with Doug Mastriano on “A Christian’s Only Choice When Voting for Governor of Pennsylvania” PLUS Dr. Joe Morecraft on “If God’s In Control, Why Should We Vote?”

Live from the historic parsonage of the 19th century gospel minister George Norcross in downtown, Carlisle, Pennsylvania. It's iron sharpens iron. This is a radio platform in which pastors Christian scholars and theologians address the burning issues facing the church and the world today.

Proverbs chapter 27 verse 17 tells us. Iron sharpens iron so one man sharpens another. Matthew Henry said that in this passage We are cautioned to take heed with whom we converse and directed to have in view in conversation To make one another wiser and better.

It is our hope that this goal will be accomplished over the next two hours. And we hope to hear from you the listener with your own questions, and now here's your host Chris Arnzen.

And what adds to the enormous importance of me interviewing this guest today is because of the darkness of our world today the rampant evil that seems to be getting more and more grotesque as every day passes and It seems to accelerate in plunging to the depths of evil that we are frighteningly heading toward a Breathtaking speed.

Pennsylvania’s Gubernatorial Race and the Duty to Vote

I have today as my guest Doug Mastriano Who is Republican candidate for governor in the state of Pennsylvania? This is an extremely important gubernatorial race. And it's my honor and privilege to welcome you back to iron sharpens iron radio Doug Mastriano.

Amen.

As.

Yes, absolutely. And the first can you give us any updates on the closeness of your gubernatorial race against the leftist Josh Shapiro here in Pennsylvania.

So it's a tight race, you know, our own internal numbers are looking good. But you know, that's none of it. And so, you know God has blessed our state in our nation with the people having the opportunity to select their leaders and on 8th, November.

Amen, and as you probably know yourself many average citizens Lack an understanding of the specific roles duties and spheres of authority that the various offices within government Possess. So let me ask you some questions over the most pressing issues That burden the hearts and minds of Pennsylvania Christians and how you if you become this state's governor God-willing intend to make changes for the improvement of our safety prosperity and further preserve liberties and benefits that our citizens already enjoy.

Abortion, Energy Policy, and Public Safety in Pennsylvania

Christians rightfully so will immediately Wonder how the lives of innocent children in their mother's wombs Will be kept safe from the brutal death that may await them due to the whims of biological parents who do not want to inconvenience their lives with the added responsibilities of Raising a child and due to the murderous physicians who are more than happy to get paid to remove those Responsibilities by killing those unwanted babies in unspeakably grotesque ways.

What are the most vital? Expectations Christians should realistically have in the realm of existence of or removal of abortion.

Infanticide in our state the media never asked. But as far as what happens with life in Pennsylvania. It's up to the people. The people get to decide and it's the fact. Just check out the Constitution and the Supreme Court.

The people get to decide on. You know, what abortion looks like in Pennsylvania if you want life protective. Obviously Matt. Briana is your only choice between the two of us here. Josh if you're once again stands radically for the extreme alternatives and abortion that only countries like China and.

Yeah, it may surprise some of our listeners as it did surprise me. Who wonder hey, wait a minute. Why don't why doesn't abortion become a federal crime? It is interesting to discover that murder is a state's issue when it comes to the legal process so since we obviously view we who are Regenerate Christians view abortion as murder.

This would go under that category of being a state's issue. The going on now, oh first of all before I go to the energy industry I just wanted to put my own two cents in here as much as I do love a Sean Hannity and Listen to him and view him regularly and agree with most of what he says.

I believe all abortion is murder And therefore should be outlawed in for all reasons. Sean Hannity and others make exceptions for rape incest and the life of the mother and I believe that if Abortion is murder.

There should be no reason why one should be legally permitted to conduct this horrific Procedure quote-quote, which is the killing of a baby? The energy industry is one of the most vital areas that provides employment and maintains wealth here in Pennsylvania and the leftists want the heart of this state source of prosperity to be ripped out from us as.

Governor can you put a stop to this? And if so, how and it's not gonna happen and it's not gonna happen. I have something called the Pennsylvania Thank You Senate bill and I'll implement in the on day one when I'm governor when I'm sworn in on day one I'll remove us from the regional greenhouse gas initiative called Reggie.

Reggie is a basically a carbon tax. And if you wanted why you're your energy costs went up almost by double on the 1st of June. It's because governor Tom Wolfe sign us up for Reggie. Now Reggie's hung up in court right now, but did not stop your costs going up.

And so on day one we're out of Reggie within a few weeks and then there's in the cold ones. We're gonna have if you hopefully you'll see the prices drop pretty significantly. So you won't have to choose between heating your homes or heating.

Part two of my plan of years and Tom Wolfe's regulations on energy sector. He's put so many restrictions on our energy sector that some of these have been fleeing now leaving for Ohio and Texas. And West Virginia whether you know for better I will be opening up a state land my goal is that we'll drill and dig like we never done before.

We'll do it responsibly, of course, but we're gonna do that. You're Pennsylvania number one and to facilitate that I have my eyes on two pipelines that will get the Energy, especially the freedom gas to the ports of Philadelphia and also one off of Yuri.

My goal is that to modernize look by national gas terminals, especially one off of Philly. And so then we become a multi-billion dollar exporter of gas to Germany and Poland and the Baltic nations as well.

Right now the Germans are stuck on Russian oil and gas that the Germans are paying about two billion dollars a month. That money should be coming to an ally like America and in the Pennsylvania. So what whether you live in an energy area the state or not is irrelevant.

But that's what that's gonna do Mike Pennsylvania Energy Independence Act here is bring a billion dollars of many high-paying jobs and supporting jobs. Of course will come in. We're looking at maybe four to be a 300 that your economy and making the world safer for us because if we're not relying upon Russian oil and gas I'm talking about we enter in our allies.

What or we're not out there banking for the Saudis to increase oil production. Biden is doing that and going hey, you know a hat in hand over to the Venezuelans as well. We could do this ourselves.

Yeah, this is. It's just palpably insane how leftists are maintaining any level of popularity here in Pennsylvania when the very heart of our existence Financially lies within the energy industry. It's just to me.

It's absolutely mind-boggling. And. Another thing one of the very key reasons that government even exists in our lives is to protect our citizens from harm by evildoers.

However.

Leftists are in a rapidly increasing degree doing all they can to protect the evildoers and make the law abiding Even more vulnerable to physical harm and death and more likely to be to be the victims of violent crime says governor.

What can you do to reverse this?

And on his watch and John Adams on Josh Shapiro's nearly 40 higher. 16 first year in office to us here 560 times Philadelphia this year alone. It's so high that the grave diggers are set on the crossfire and some some kids just made a stupid choice.

On his watch for the fourth highest in fentanyl death on his watch. We have the shooting up in public spaces down in Philadelphia Kensington. My wife and I were there just a few days ago without Cameras, but I don't do stunts.

It's horror. We have 12 to 15 people a day. Dying in Pennsylvania from over 4th highest in the nation is happening in our cities and towns. Josh Shapiro doesn't care and doing instead of doing his job Josh Shapiro has spent his time.

He fought also get this time. Last year a girl in Lansing County, Virginia was raped 15 year old girl. The school board tried to cover it up. The dad was upset this time last year. That's life under Josh Shapiro instead of doing his job.

He sued Stuff so we remember remember the suffering of his kids and grandkids. Well, these ridiculous science like and dear friend Josh Shapiro filed a dismissal motion. County mom who is.

The Bathroom Issue, Female Athletes, and Parental Rights

Absolutely amazing. Since you mentioned the bathroom issue. When it comes to the old saying if you give an inch they will take a mile. Christians have never seen this adage more vividly proven to be true than in the satanic levels of the evil so-called LGBTQ wing of leftism has Inflicted upon innocent children.

It is going far beyond drag queens reading story books to prepubescent kids in libraries. The Depraved parents are legally using their precious Confused children as laboratory rats and are irreversibly Having dangerously demonic men and women in white coats sexually mutilate them Pharmaceutically and surgically.

How can you as governor eradicate this hellish behavior from our state?

Ending that's up to you. But you know, it should not be Kids who are caught in this of abuse. We've seen many many testimonies of people here. That is that a regret decision and they don't like to have all the information given to them on day one.

We're gonna reach. I stand with all the girls and going to our schools across the state here. I stand for their safety and protection and I can't imagine, you know being a girl in school and you know.

Deciding whether you use the bathroom or not. If you have enough friends with you to protect you because there might be somebody hiding in there like in Loudoun County, Virginia. That's a fact. That we've allowed this to go so far here where the parents most parents in the school.

You know parents want to have their kids safe. So on day one, there'll be no more boys in the girls bathroom. On day one I stand with female athletes. Let me break this down here. So Tom Walsh and Josh Shapiro thinks it's a great idea.

To have all the science biological males. Participating on the girls team and not just participating with stealing away scholarships and opportunities. Women have only had the right to vote for 102 years in America and the female athletics have only recently achieved a similar Opportunity to 50 years of sacrifice on their title line.

Title. I had a fan and Josh Shapiro wants to roll back the clock 50 years on women's achievements in athletics by having biological men be on the girls team. Let's think about your family, you know the stacker now you bring on biological males.

There's there are male high school runners faster than the fastest female athlete. There's significant strength and biological skeletal issues and advantages guys almost 500 467 I think on the men's team.

Decided to go on the girls team is now setting records and stealing scholarships and opportunities away from female athletes ladies swimmers. With all the advantages that a guy has a bigger hand stronger muscles bigger lungs bigger feet.

That's all matters. We saw when it kicks off and at one race and you know Thomas had like a three-fifth, you know, three foot longer a jump strength alone. And so on day one I stand with female athletes and there'll be no more boys on the girls team.

I mean, you know, there's one thing if it's a co-ed team here, but this is apples and hearts and my opponent Josh Shapiro Rejoiced and cheered when governor will vetoed our bill. It is so bad in Pennsylvania that I was giving remarks in defense of this bill on the floor of the Senate in Harrisburg.

Backing up saying anything we need to end male domination. You know or it's gonna end up each car pulling a reign over over women athletes. But and I actually stopped it and you can watch my remarks on the Senate page and I'm like, man.

You sound like a radical feminist and I looked over to the Democrats and I made him appeal to it. So where are the feminists and they were not there? They almost unanimously voted against this bill to take with women athletes here.

So Josh Shapiro wants to pretend to be the champion of women's rights. What have you? He's a furthest from any champion of female rights as you can imagine.

Yeah, that's the amazing thing about issues like this even decades ago where you would very rarely see feminists and Conservative evangelical Christians become allies on anything but even decades ago the pornography issue started to rise up some interesting allies with feminists and conservatives and Today this is even more of a stunning issue that has Brought together unlikely bedfellows as they say where we have feminists and conservative evangelicals Linking arms to fight the atrocity not only of Men biological men competing against women in sports, but even the aforementioned bathroom issue and other issues where women are rightly looking at what the left is doing and Seeing it as a very threat to womanhood.

Am I right?

Yes, and you know, we saw Congresswoman Flores when that one seat in Texas on the border. She was born in Mexico. She immigrated legally to America. America dream. She is the faith as she wins a seat that a Republican hadn't held like a hundred fifty years in history.

And she came in and her and her motto of course is the O's Austria family, you know, you know God. Country and family. Those are the same ideals that most conservative Republicans uphold in esteem. You know, we of course we honor our God.

We we respect our country and we love to protect our family and we're the Democrats have gone too far and we saw this This drunk with 2020 how they thought they could suspend and roll back our God-given rights.

These aren't just Constitution right you and they just can't stop. They are constantly when the science a prolong the shutdown and it had got in this and you don't how far they've gone in so. Many schools were you know, people are being shamed because of their skin color, you know, whatever you want to call it.

You know teaching kids to hate each other based off of something. They have nothing to do with genetically. There is repugnance mean it's so anti-american. So on day one We're going to reaffirm parental rights, this is how far we've gone so on day one I'm going to reaffirm parental rights and we're gonna fight like heck with the General Assembly to of course get the school choice.

It's the irony is people like Josh Shapiro Are good with school choice from the cells just like Obama that they can afford to send their schools in a nation. It should be you know, he can afford it. He's a he's a wealthy man.

It has his daddy's wealth. Wants for nothing and he sent his four kids to a school that cost between thirty and forty thousand dollars a pop per kid. What about the parents in Philadelphia, you know parents in Philadelphia 88 of them are forcible choice.

I don't believe his double speak. He's in the pocket of the school. You school choice. The only choice is Mastriano. If you want to parent if you want to have a transparency with curriculum I'll be ordering our secretary to us zooming in for classes and many parents were appalled.

Why Voters Support the Left and Why Election Integrity Matters

Now when I see the lawns of my neighbors littered with the signs promoting the candidacies of your leftist Opponent and all the other enemies of the core principles that gave birth to our nation I am utterly baffled.

And I find it extremely difficult to believe these neighbors. Genuinely believe themselves. Their lives are improving in any way under the rapidly increasing weight of the leftist tyrannical regime. And I know you're not a mind reader.

But what could possibly be the motivation for the suicidal? Insanity that keeps electing our nation's worst enemies in the political office and how races like yours against Josh Shapiro. Shapiro could even be remotely close.

So called, you know rust belt Democrats into the working class the Democrats the Democrat Party left them behind. I mean, they're realizing this is no longer, you know, as you can imagine. Many of my Italian Ancestors in America were Democrats.

This is not the same party part of that actually tried to play a little man. Now it's actually Republican Party the roles of switchgear and the Democrats of the party clearly people and you know Pharmaceuticals and and of course, you know the high-tech offices and what-have-you and this simple voter register, but since Tom Wolfe and since Josh Shapiro is reckless policies on letting criminals have been an office by they've lost Two-thirds of that number.

They're down from a two million advantage before Koba to about 40 right now. And Democrats and many of these are switching every month to either independent or Republican because they can see that the Democrat Party if you want to raise your kids With the same freedom that you and I had the only choice on this is match that it race cannot affect you.

Everything in Pennsylvania. We have to win it.

You know, you may be surprised to hear me say this, but I'm actually going to raise my glass in toast of the.

Geniuses.

In the ad agencies who work for the leftist Democrats? Running commercials during this gubernatorial race because the commercials they have created Against you are brilliant commercials in promotion of you.

When I watch most of these commercials I'm beginning in the very beginning and perhaps even most of the way through. I am thinking that your candidacy has Supported these ads and I find out it's actually an ad for Josh Shapiro.

They're listing all of the reasons why every citizen of Pennsylvania should vote for you. I don't know if you've Viewed it the same way I do, but it's absolutely amazing.

Yeah.

Back when I first started being Shapiro AC unlike the major. You know for us it's mostly the people it's the people from across the nation that are rising up at small dollar donations. They got themselves to run our ads, but they've gone too far.

When he and when he dad started running I thought they were too hard too heavy too extreme too over-the-top too much and that in the end it would it would backfire and. That's exactly what's happening.

You know, we're told that you know that this is like the days where you could buy elections. But you can't. People have been every person that I know has been a you're happy. You have to choose between eating and eating.

You don't have enough money put gas in your car here. You're trying to make a speech to deciding between food and medicine. These are real, you know. Tabletop issues at the kitchen table. I've talked about it late time.

And a Democrat you're out there, you know fighting for these peripheral things. That really don't affect people directly unless their lives are comfortable. And so that's why we're gonna see a big victory here in Pennsylvania.

The Lesser of Two Evils and the Need for Christian Political Engagement

You know, I keep getting asked before we go because I know that you have to leave us early but people keep asking me if I think We can expect an honest victory in this election. No matter who wins. I know that to dare question the integrity of the elections that took place Where the left was voted into power to dare question that they were actually voted into power is high treason these days.

Only when it's only high treason when the Democrats have benefited from these elections that many view to have been stolen or rigged. But can the conservative citizens of Pennsylvania Rest with a greater measure of peace of mind this election that there will be no fraudulent or should I say.

No.

Considerable element of fraudulent rigging and so on during the voting process.

Well, this is not as insecure as 2020 issues. So the way ahead if you really are concerned about this, you know, and you know, I don't know. We might both get a cat. We'll do something about it. So go to Doug for gov .com and sign up be a poll of poll watcher.

And we will train you to be with the look for if there's any laws violated. We'll train you on who to contact to have the issues resolved including a team of attorneys will have handy. Glenn Yonkin showed us the way ahead in Virginia when they had the same.

Well similar concerns by quite the same similar concerns in Virginia last year and yet he won. He won is because instead the Republicans, you know wringing her hands and shaking her fist at the TV. They volunteer to be poll watch workers and he had 95 of the polls covered and I need 20 ,000 people to step up.

I want to hit every poll in Pennsylvania and that's the way we ensure state secure elections with transparent.

Well, he said it folks. The website is Doug the number for gov gov .com Doug for gov .com and I want to thank you so much for squeezing Iron Trump and Zion radio into your very busy Schedule and I look forward to your return After your victory so that we can both celebrate together you being the new governor of Pennsylvania.

Amen. Well, god bless you. And don't go away folks for the remaining 90 minutes of the show we are going to be joined by my dear friend Dr. Joseph C. Moore craft the third pastor of heritage Presbyterian Church in Cumming, Georgia and He is going to be addressing the theme if God is in control why vote.

So don't go away. We'll be right back after these messages from our sponsors. Hi.

I'm Pete Hegseth co-host of Fox and Friends weekend now. I don't have to tell you but American education. It's in a freefall crumbling under the weight of a century of damage inflicted upon America's academic system.

The answer it's called classical Christian education a form of K through 12 ed. That's very distinct from the type of education. Most Americans have received myself included and That's why I'm so excited to have been invited by my friends at Long Island's Grace Christian Academy to talk about this.

Wonderful growing movement and new approach rediscovered the education. It's at 7 p .m October 15th at the Marriott Hotel and Conference Center in Melville, New York. I'll also be signing copies of my New York Times best-selling book battle for the American mind for the first 50 guests starting at 6 p .m.

Now this is a fundraising event designed to raise money to help grow this type of education. At a time when it is so desperately needed. So please come ready to give and to learn about a way to stimulate academic revival in our great country.

You can purchase tickets for the event by visiting G Cali GC a li dot-com and following the link to the gala event. I hope to see you there.

Have you noticed the gap that exists between the Sunday morning sermon and the Sunday school classroom or the small group study? So often we experience great preaching from the pulpit, but when it comes time to study God's Word in those smaller settings.

Well, let's be honest. It leaves a lot to be desired. It seems like it is nearly impossible to find good curriculum out there today. That is true to the Word of God and it's built upon sound doctrine.

Much less it's hard to find curriculum that will actually teach people how to study the Bible. Hi there. My name is Jordan too, and I am the executive director of the Baptist Publishing House. Our ministry is dedicated to providing local churches with sound Bible study resources.

Our quarterly curriculum is titled the Baptist expositor and for good reason we are Baptist and we exegete the scriptures. If you want to have a curriculum that teaches your people how to study the Word of God I invite you go to our website download a free study Baptist publishing house .com.

When iron sharpens iron radio first launched in 2005 the publishers of the New American Standard Bible were among my very first sponsors. It gives me joy knowing that many scholars and pastors in the iron sharpens iron radio audience have been sticking with or switching to the NASB.

Go to NAS Bible comm that's NAS Bible comm to place your order. Welcome back if you just tuned us in. Our guest for the first half hour was Doug Mastriano who is the Republican candidate for governor in the state of Pennsylvania.

Our second guest is my dear friend. Dr Joe Moore craft author and pastor of Heritage Presbyterian Church of Cumming, Georgia. We're going to be addressing for the remaining remainder of the program. If God's in control.

Why should we vote. How even Arminians can behave like hyper Calvinists during elections? And it's my honor and privilege to welcome you back to iron sharpens iron radio my dear friend. Dr. Joe more craft.

It's always a joy to have you on the program brother and I am not alone in that opinion. I seem to have a growing number of listeners who are a part of the Joe more craft fan club. Who? From a wide spectrum of theological positions actually are saying man.

We really love that Joe more craft. We look forward to having him you having him back on the program and we're always edified every time we hear him so that always encourages me. Not only that I am selecting my guests wisely but it encourages me that so many people are Viewing you.

A growing number of people are viewing you as a true voice for truth, and I thank God for that. Well, it encourages me and I congratulate you on. With your lovely wife Becky moving into your new home.

There are. Is it still technically coming Georgia or is it a different area a little town called Olin coming? Well praise God for that. Tell our listeners for those of them who have not yet heard you on the program.

Tell them about Heritage Presbyterian Church of Cumming, Georgia.

Heritage for stand on their roof hiding or sleeping or trying to keep warm to hear the preaching of the word.

Now was Paul Abbott among those who you sent out with this evangelism effort who I've had on the program. Great. Well, I've got to get the brother Paul back on the program. I was very encouraged and edified by him.

He would be good. He just got back. He's on fire. I praise God. Well.

You are an author. In fact, you have written on the very subject of Christians and politics and. Can you tell our listeners about that book? Which I know has been brought back into print. Give us the full title and why they should get a hold of that book.

It's a book. I wrote back in it and it's called with liberty and justice for all Christian politics made simple. It's a 200 page paperback. It was not it's not academic. It's basically mostly an exposition of Romans 13 plus some chapters on abortion and things like that.

And it's written for the common person where a lot of people have been blessed by it to Have a renewed and Christian understanding of politics. So they know how to vote what the political issues are how Christians should look at the political issues and the political candidate.

And it is available Through Comprehensive Christianity calm. You can either get it as a e-book Christian.

Comprehensive Christian great. Now the theme as I've already Mentioned is if God is in control why should we vote. How even Arminians can behave like hyper Calvinists during elections and. This is an interesting time.

We're living in it could be Very discouraging for the most optimistic post-millennialist even. Because unlike what many people think about post-millennialists or post-millennialism according to their caricature What many people believe in what many people have even said in public even trained ministers who should know better.

Have said that post-millennialism is the idea that things will just in an Never bending Upward arrow keep getting better and better and better and better, but you don't believe that at all. Do you. I mean you could you think that there's a possibility we could even enter into a Period of darkness for over a thousand years.

That is worse than mankind has ever seen. Don't you believe that is a possibility?

Like the name I hate labels Simply believes in the victory orientation of the kingdom of God in history and and the conversion of nations that more and more people and nations Are going to be and Christianity and effects every there are going to be time is not that they're setbacks but they're going to be times in which it looks like God is disciplining his church and God is Getting the church ready for battles in the future.

I think we are on the cusp of Another dark time in this country because of the apostasy of the church 20th century that we need to be brought back in line and The things that you're seeing now on Television and the newspaper and I think even more so in a few years to come Are going to be used by God To chasten us to purify us So that God will yes and this.

These dark times that we live in and I Do say that with a reminder to our listeners that we who are here in the comfort of the United States as bad as things Are here. There are places in the globe today?

There are infinitely worse when it comes to the persecution of the church and in the past. Obviously in the first century and the early centuries of the of the church when Nero was reigning and using Christians as human torches and Having them fed to lions and other wild animals.

We can praise God that we are not right now experiencing anything like that. But at the same time These are dark days. These are days when Christians are rights being stripped from them being ignored.

And the leftist totalitarians Keep getting politically stronger. They keep brainwashing more of the citizens that surround us and we have even reached the point where little children are being taken by their parents to satanic physicians who are sexually mutilating them with pharmaceutical with surgery and Sometimes I have even heard Christians.

I've even heard friends of mine saying That they don't know if they're even gonna bother voting. The votes keep getting rigged and the elections keep getting stolen and I don't like The Republicans and I don't like the Democrats.
