Dr. JOE MORECRAFT, pastor of Heritage Presbyterian Church in Cumming, GA, who will address: “WITH LIBERTY & JUSTICE FOR ALL: CHRISTIAN POLITICS MADE SIMPLE”
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.
Good afternoon, Cumberland County, Pennsylvania Lake City, Florida and the rest of humanity living on the planet Earth who are listening via live streaming at iron sharpens iron Radio .com this is Chris Arnzen your host of iron sharpens iron radio wishing you all a happy Thursday on this 19th day of March 2020 and I am so delighted after many years I think it's probably been at least a decade.
I will check momentarily when the last time we had Dr. Joe Moore craft on the program, but it was definitely when we were still broadcasting out of Long Island, New York on WGBB and WNYG radio in Babylon Long Island.
But dr. Joe more craft is my guest today. And I am thrilled to have him on he's pastor of heritage Presbyterian Church in Cumming, Georgia. Which is a part of the Hanover Presbytery and today? We are going to be addressing his book with liberty and justice for all Christian politics made simple and it's my honor and privilege to welcome you back after a very long absence.
Dr. Joe more craft. Well, the pleasure is all mine brother and why don't you tell our listeners Something a bit more about heritage Presbyterian Church in Cumming, Georgia. It's a sad commentary in this day and age when Many people unfortunately hear the name Presbyterian in a church they immediately think of a mainline dead left-wing church that is feminist that is pro abortion pro homosexual marriage, etc.
So why don't you? dispel any anxiety. That our listeners may have about heritage Presbyterian Church.
Presbyterian Church. I'm very happy to hear that and.
Obviously there are many people who are unfamiliar with the fundamentalist modernist controversy and So our listeners should know that there have been biblically faithful Presbyterians all along and when the when the predominant number of Presbyterian denominations became Very liberal in the early ninth of the early 20th century the The those that were faithful broke away some voluntarily some involuntarily.
I believe Jake Reshamation was excommunicated if I'm not mistaken from from the liberal Mainline Presbyterian Church to which he once belonged. I think it was over the Pearl Buck controversy. Refused to support her as a missionary.
If I'm not mistaken, that's right and so people should Be educated that there have always been truly faithful and biblical and Christ honoring and Regenerate Presbyterians throughout the history.
Yes, I want to immediately give our.
Email address if anybody would like to join us on the air with a question of your own for Joe Moore craft on the theme with liberty and justice for all Christian politics made simple, which is actually a title of one of his books and The email address is Chris Arnzen at gmail .com chris a r n z e n at gmail .com.
And as always please give us at least your first name your city and state and your country of residence if you live outside the USA and Only remain anonymous if your question involves a personal and private matter.
Let's say You disagree with your pastor over Something we are discussing and you'd rather not identify yourself. Perhaps you're you're a pastor yourself and You disagree with your own elder board your congregation or denomination or something that we're going to be addressing.
Or whatever the case may be. Perhaps you just don't want to start a war with your own spouse in your own home Over over a difference you have with your spouse. Well, we understand that those would be reasons to remain anonymous, but if it's not a personal and private question if it's a general question on Christianity and politics and Please at least give us your first name your city and state and your country of residence.
Before I move on to the main theme today Christian politics made simple. I understand that you have written a Monumental commentary in the Westminster Confession of Faith if you could address that Westminster commentary comm and I hope that as many of you as possible will take advantage of that and obviously one of the greatest Historic catechisms of the Christian faith and even we who are Reformed Baptists Very often use the Westminster Catechism larger and shorter and Sometimes they have been published in Baptist versions with the only difference on these catechisms being the issue of baptism since Reformed Baptists obviously are Credo Baptists who believe in the baptism of believers alone, but Reformed Baptists have always Held in extremely high esteem Our Presbyterian brothers and that is why the 1689 London Baptist Confession of Faith is nearly identical purposely to the Westminster Confession.
Because of the fact that they wanted to show camaraderie with their Presbyterian brethren's in the 17th century when that that confession was drafted and they wanted to People put people at ease their brothers in Christ it is that they were not a cult of some kind that they were standing for most of the same biblical vital biblical teachings that the Presbyterians and larger Reformed Body of Christians adhere to including the Congregationalists as well because they also borrowed from the Savoy Declaration but I am honored to At some point in the very near future.
Have you back on? Dr. Moore craft to discuss your commentaries on the catechism and and in the catechism itself. Yes, it is and so are we who are Reformed.
Although.
Although Presbyterians do on occasion get dunked as that if they've never been baptized as infants. So I know I know some that have been dunked by Presbyterian pastors.
But.
But anyway folks if you'd like to join us on the air our email address again is Chris Arns in a gmail .com. Well this book has Stood the test of time. It's it is an excellent book. Has been for decades.
Why don't you tell us about the initial? Catalyst. Why you wrote with liberty and justice for all Christian politics made simple.
Late 80s as a result of some his own publishing company was at those sermons and. So he himself and I tried to make the biblical principles the political issues in front of us. I don't know how many many printings and Brazil.
It was translated into Portuguese and God has used candidate a political stand on what does the Bible say the other day of everything about which it speaks and. It speaks about everything back in the middle 80s I ran for why are you getting into politics and can you tell us about the origin of civil government?
Government is not a negative thing and on the right friendly now. To be Etc. Not only of Israel by nations in the earth calling them to repent of their lawlessness. Jesus the concern to him was not what the Pharisees were concerned with.
They were concerned with whether or not Jesus was Blaspheming by calling himself old. It's all another place now. People have assumed about being the nature with politics and things like that here on earth.
That's not what the Greek says. What the Greek says when he says pilot usually I know if I'm a king it is as you say and my kingdom is not from this world. It's from another place. So he wasn't talking about the nature of his kingdom.
He was talking about the origin of his kingdom my rule my authority my kingdom originates not with man. But it originates in heaven with God himself and then you have Paul in Romans 13. You have so many references to political institutions and revelation so throughout the scriptures.
You have this concern. Individuals personal salvation, which is the now you said something.
Critical about libertarians. Perhaps not all. But it is interesting that unless my memory is incorrectly serving me I Recall in a conversation with you perhaps it was 2008 where you were supportive of the presidential candidacy of Ron Paul who before becoming a Republican presidential candidate he he actually ran in 1988 for the Libertarian Party, which obviously his Connection with the Libertarian Party is far different from the Libertarian Party today, which is Amazingly not Libertarian in many ways in fact in favor of gun control and all kinds of things but and abortion, unfortunately.
But can you tell us about that? Do you seem to at least have some affection for? Libertarians, I happen to have some leanings in that area. But I am not in any stretch of the imagination a cookie cutter libertarian.
I believe in strong Border control and things like that, but if you could yes, if you could comment, well, you've got a good memory and.
You're right. Many years ago They party had a pro-lot run as their candidate in their platform. Non-christian libertarianism poverty of the individual or T at May never be compromised. Hence the non-christian libertarian sexual marriage as well as homosexual lifestyle.
Well, you as I as Christians don't believe in the sovereignty of the state or the sovereignty of the don't believe that the individual is Superior. See just like the threeness and the oneness of God. Which is more important God is one or God is three late to each other.
That the stuff ability is in that fit and hence to change go and you can't.
Come up with a more anti-libertarian individual. Now I don't want to sidetrack our discussion and.
Over.
Dwell in the area of libertarianism, but I was just curious How you would respond to a friend of mine who is now with Christ for eternity. He was a Christian libertarian and well known amongst many Libertarians, especially Christians.
His name is William Norman Grigg. I don't know if that name sounds familiar to you. He was a Mormon at one time and came to faith in Jesus Christ. Was the was the editor of the New American magazine, which is the magazine of the John Birch Society and He when I asked him about his view on same-sex marriage Said well as a Christian.
I am obviously Opposed to homosexuality is it is an abomination. It is unnatural. It's damnable but he said my Thrust in this argument is that the government does not belong meddling in anyone's marriage.
So, how do you respond to that kind of a comment?
My favorite patriotic song called the author of Liberty example the United States. A Nation cannot maintain liberty for long if it does not die. And then it's after that, of course whenever you study a passages context after that.
It talks about how we are to send the next political realm and make sure your views and your attitudes Toward the civil magistrate only objective about anything. Religiously that's right because even even atheists are religious.
We have to go our first break.
But before we do I will read a question from a listener and I'll have you answer it when we come back from the break. Tyler in Mastic Beach, Long Island, New York says do you think that Abraham Kuyper? Was a good example of someone who balanced theology and politics.
Well given that he was the Prime Minister of the Netherlands from 1901 to 1905. We'll have you answer that when we come back from the break. If anybody else would like to join us, our email address is Chris Arnzen at gmail .com.
C H R I s a r n z e and a gmail .com. As always give us your first name at least your city and state and your country of Residence. If you live outside the USA only remain anonymous if the question involves a personal and private matter and we'll be right back.

Dr. Joe Moore craft who is pastor of Heritage Presbyterian Church in Cumming, Georgia the author of a number of books including a monumental six volume commentary on the Westminster larger catechism. We are discussing his book with liberty and justice for all Christian politics made simple and before the break Tyler and mastic Beach Long Island, New York asked the question.
Do you think that Abraham Kuyper was a good example of someone who balanced theology and politics? Well, given that he was the prime minister of the Netherlands from 1901 to 1905.
Which I can't quote paraphrase. He said there's not one square inch in this. Abraham Kuyper Wrote a book lectures that everybody ought to read. I'm a national preference. They should read his books. That's still being printed today called Lectures to inform and govern every area of life.
Praise God. And from my recollection.
Not only was Abraham Kuyper once liberal he was also a lost man as a pastor and An elderly woman if I'm not mistaken in his congregation. Was used powerfully by God to lead him to Christ for the first time when he was already a pastor.
Yeah, well, thanks a lot Tyler and guess what. Thanks to the generosity of comprehensive Christianity comm you have received. You will receive a free copy of the book. We are discussing today with liberty and justice for all Christian politics made simple by our guest. Dr. Joe Moore.
Craft. So, please make sure you give us your full mailing address so that Cumberland Valley Bible book service cv bbs .com. Can ship that out to you at no charge to you or to orange weapons iron radio.
Thanks for the excellent question. We also have a question from Grady in Asheboro, North Carolina a very loyal and faithful listener to this program going all the way back to its Beginnings in 2005 and also a very loyal financial supporter.
Grady in Asheboro, North Carolina says hi brothers Chris and Joe as a child of the King Jesus Christ I realized that we must trust him and his sovereignty. But as a citizen of the United States, I believe it's our civic duty to vote.
However When evangelizing I try to avoid the subject of politics. Because I want the person to see that they're a sinner and in need of Christ for their redemption. Recently, I encountered a man and he wanted to keep bringing up our president and politics.
How would you have handled that situation to get him back to the gospel? Excellent question Grady.
That is but would not be by concern sinful nature That 16 submit ourselves only about the Savior of Christ, but I would talk about the Lord. Receive him as our Savior. We receive him as our Lord if I shall confess With our mouth that Jesus is leaving not a heart thing we do later.
Praise God. And thank you so much Grady for your excellent question as always and.
Please make sure we have your full mailing address So that CV bbs .com Cumberland Valley Bible Book Service can ship a free copy. With liberty and justice for all Christian politics made simple by dr. Joe more craft out to you and we want to thank Comprehensive Christianity comm once again for their generosity and providing us with these books.
Today. I'm gonna have you think about something before we go to our midway break. Grady said something that it is our duty to vote. I know personally Christians a very biblically sound Christians. In fact, the one of which Is a mutual friend of both of ours?
Who.
Believe that a Christian should not be shamed If he is faced with voting whether it be for president or a local political official. If he is forced with the option of voting for two people that in his mind are equally evil.
I could even remember back in the 90s 1994 to be precise George Pataki Ran for governor of the state of New York when I was still living in New York. He ran against Mario Cuomo. And both of these men were equally salivating with joy over the murder of unborn children.
So There's a Christian is a Christian obligated to vote for either of these candidates. That's right, we're going to a break we have to go to our midway break right now, thank you for reminding me Joe.
This is our longer-than-normal break folks keep that in mind and please be patient with us and The reason why it is a longer-than-normal break is because Grace life radio in Lake City, Florida 90 .1 FM they air iron sharpens iron radio twice daily in a pre-recorded format and Because of FCC regulations, they have to localize their programming to Lake City, Florida.
And therefore they use our midway break to air their own public service announcements and other things related to Lake City, Florida. So while they air those messages we air our own globally heard commercials.
And we ask of you to use this time wisely. Not only write down the information of as many of our Advertisers as you can because as I was saying earlier when I was mentioning solid-ground Christian books.
We depend on our advertisers to exist. We will not remain on the air without our advertisers and our Individuals in our audience who are donors financially to this program. So, please keep that in mind and write down as much of the information as you possibly can for our advertisers.
Even just to contact them to thank them for advertising on iron sharpens iron, but especially to patronize them Whenever possible that will help further ensure that we remain on the air. So do that and also write down questions for dr. Joe more craft on Christian politics made simple.
Our email address is Chris Arnzen at gmail .com Chris Arnzen at gmail .com and as always give us your first name at least. Your city and state and your country of residence if you live outside the USA don't go away.
We'll be right back after these messages with more of dr. Joe more craft and Christian politics made simple. One sure way all iron sharpens iron radio listeners can help keep my show on the air is to support my advertisers.

Which is now being published by a comprehensive Christianity calm. So if you would like to ask a question of dr. Moore craft on this Very important subject a Christian politics made simple our email address is Chris Ornson at gmail .com.
Chris Ornson at gmail .com and before the break as you may recall, dr. Moore craft. I asked you a question that was Placed in my mind by something that Grady in Asheboro, North Carolina had said in his own question.
He said I believe that it is a duty of a Christian to vote now. Obviously, I would never condone a Christian out of laziness or indifference or apathy. Just staying at home not voting not caring, but I have met and known very noble God honoring conservative Theologically Reformed Christians when they are faced with two candidates who are both an abomination.
They haven't they have declined to vote. Now. How do you respond to that?
And they both other choice. Well, whatever the reply, you know, the argument that people give today is that well that Situation because they could not make black countries was none of them were socialists and he was.
And he was the founder of the Constitution Party was he not. Now I'm sure with certainty that you have heard the response to some of what you said by our fellow conservatives and perhaps even Christian conservatives who will say your refusal to vote for the lesser of two evils is Ensuring the victory of the one who is more evil because your vote isn't going to that person's opponent.
So, how do you respond to that, you know people? So back in 1994 and I don't want to make your skin crawl, but if you were a resident in the state of New York where I formerly lived And you were faced with voting either for a Republican George Pataki who was just as Pro abortion as his opponent the Democratic candidate and the incumbent Mario Cuomo you would not have voted for either one because they.
My knowledge it is yes, because you know, it did elect it to the United States Senate. Have a first-time.

Who has a question for you Gary from Campbell, California? Has a question. Greetings, Chris. I would like to ask Joe. What are some of the things Christians must do to engage? The culture.
Each are better yet medieval Christian. I'm great. He wouldn't do it. Well at the church betrayed them today. The average Christian has never even heard the word Christian. Now the Reformation did not have purified it.
Gospel was not only something that influenced something to change cultures. In fact in the middle 50s duration preaching of the pure gospel by these 16th century reformers. That is in less than 20 years Northern Europe for the gospel method one generation.
Amen. In fact, I think you'll like the way that I and Every one of my programs here in iron sharpens iron radio.

As host of Iron Sharpens Iron Radio, I frequently get requests from listeners for church recommendations. The church I've been strongly recommending as far back as the 1980s is Grace Covenant Baptist Church in Flemington, New Jersey pastored by Alan Dunn.
Grace Covenant Baptist Church believes it's God's prerogative to determine how he shall be worshiped and how he shall be represented in the world. They believe churches need to turn to the Bible to discover what to include in worship and how to worship God in spirit and truth.
Grace Covenant Baptist Church endeavors to maintain a God-centered focus. Reading, preaching, and hearing the Word of God, singing psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs, baptism, and communion are the scriptural elements of their corporate worship performed with faith, joy, and sobriety.

Chris Sorensen, host of Iron Sharpens Iron Radio here. I want to tell you about a man I have personally known for many years. His name is Dan Buttafuoco. Dan is a personal injury and medical malpractice lawyer.
But not just a lawyer. He's not the type that typically comes to mind. Dan cares about people and is a theologian himself. Recently, he wrote a book titled, Consider the Evidence for the Bible. Ravi Zacharias wrote the foreword.
Dan also has a master's degree in theology. Dan handles serious injury and medical malpractice cases in all 50 states. He represents many Christians in serious injury matters all over the country. Dan is an exceptional trial lawyer.
He wrote the test for the death penalty. Dan is a member of the National Board of Trial Advocacy. Currently, his firm has over 100 cases that have settled for $1 million or more and in approximately 10 different states.
In Illinois, his lawyers had the 4th largest settlement in the state's history. In New York, his case involving a paralyzed police officer made the front page of the Law Journal. If you have a serious personal injury or medical malpractice claim in any state, I recommend that you call Dan.
Consultations are free. There is no fee unless you win. Dan Buttafuoco's number is 1 -800 -669 -4878 1 -800 -669 -4878 1 -800 -669 -4878 2 -800 -669 -4878 3 -800 -669 -4878 4 -800 -669 -4878 5 -800 -669 -4878 8 -800 -669 -4878 9 -800 -669 -4878.

Listening to Christian radio can be a big gamble spiritually. Even many of the major Christian networks that include excellent, biblically faithful teachers on their lineup sadly often also include the worst of doctrinally dangerous heretics.
If you are a lover of the doctrines of sovereign grace, you need not fear listening 24 hours a day to FirstLoveRadio .org. They feature Christ-centered programming from Reformed pastors and teachers you can rely upon for theological soundness and biblical faithfulness, such as Dr. W .R. Downing, Dr. Peter Masters, Pastor Joe Jacoicz, Pastor Robert Gifford, Al Martin, Edward Delcor,.
And more.
FirstLoveRadio .org also live streams my Iron Sharpens Iron radio program daily. Please stick around on FirstLoveRadio .org after Iron Sharpens Iron radio is over to continue being blessed by the unwavering proclamation of the gospel of sovereign grace.
Spread the word about FirstLoveRadio .org. And don't forget folks, immediately following Iron Sharpens Iron radio, live streaming, or should I just say streaming because his show is not live, streaming on FirstLoveRadio, the same radio network, internet radio network that live streams Iron Sharpens Iron, Pastor Joe Jacowitz, founder of FirstLoveRadio and also pastor of Christ Bible Church in Dublin, California.
He will be preaching immediately following the show as he does every day. And also remember that every Wednesday now he is at 10 p .m. Eastern time hosting an online Bible study called Bible Talk. So just keep that in mind.
You don't want to miss Joe Jacowitz whenever you have the opportunity to hear him preach or teach. He is an extraordinary and biblically faithful brother. And by the way, the last, I just discovered that the last listener, first time listener who sent in a question, Gary from Campbell, California, he is actually a pastor and I wanted to plug his church since he has the highest of respect for you, Joe.
His name is Gary Wagner.
Good friend of mine. Close friend.
Yes. And he says, I believe that Dr. Joe Morecraft is one of the most gifted preachers in America today and he pastors Reformed Heritage Church in Los Gatos, California, the website for that church. I always like to plug solid churches whenever I can.
Reformed Heritage Church, I'm sorry, that was wrong. It's reformedheritage .org. The name of the church is Reformed Heritage Church. But the website is reformedheritage .org, reformedheritage .org. Thank you very much, Pastor Gary.
We hope that you continue listening and continue submitting questions to Iron Shepherd and Zion Radio.
I think he's one of the most important preachers in California.
Wow.
That's saying a lot. Let's see here. We have John in Bangor, Maine. And John in Bangor, Maine has a question for you, Dr. Morecraft. He asks, what do you think are the biggest disappointments from the Republican Party that you can list?
In fact, we only have 10 minutes now.
Yeah, I know. The thing about the Republicans, I think that is an accurate description of what we had before you. Bernie Sanders, though he's not a... I realized then more clearly that I should no longer believe in competition for power without principle.
I had a young woman, I'll tell you this real quickly. I had a young woman come to my office one time for counseling. She was in her 70s. And about 30 years old, late 20s, she lived a rough life. I said, what do you think about child molestation?
I don't want to...
Praise God. Hallelujah.
Yeah. So that's where we are. If we do not preach the law in the Bible with the power of the sword, that is the use of deadly force. Now, if the civil government does not have an infallible standard to distinguish good from evil, it's just as likely to use that sword to protect the evil against the good.
By the way, we have Susan Margaret from New York. She's from Dauphin County, Pennsylvania, who says, Chris, I did a little homework on the Internet and found out that the last time before today that Dr. Joe Moorcraft was your guest, when he was discussing this very same book, was in 2007.
Is that right?
December 4th, 2007, to be precise.
Well, we can't let that happen again, Joe. That's 13 years.
I know. Well, I would love to do it any time.
In fact, I already know that I want you back to continue. Not only do I want you to start a new subject and discuss your commentaries on the Westminster larger catechism, but I want you to continue discussion on this book because we've only scratched the surface even with your book, Liberty and Justice for All.
Yes, sir. I would love to. You can do it.
Well, thank you very much. Let's conclude with a good note here on the power of a minister of God.
It's interesting.
We have for three minutes.
The Civil Guard called a minister of God.
That's right.
And I'm called a man in the Bible. It's a ministry. Three, eight laws.
We have one more question that we have time for. The power to tax. Tell us about that.
The power to tax, but not just any kind of tax, every single tax, it's now, and my answer is no.
Great. In fact, R .J. Rushdoonie was a client of mine many years ago. He was a part of a radio program that I created involving a number of different Reformed teachers, and Dr. Rushdoonie or Brother Rushdoonie was a host of the Voice of Sovereign Grace on one of the five nights that that program aired weekly.
I'm not surprised to hear it.
And I always loved my interaction with him, a very gracious brother.
He was a great man. In fact, real quick.
I will try to watch that tonight.
Please do. In fact, you default, we wrote his.
Well, we have to conclude there, and I know that your website for Heritage Presbyterian Church in Cumming, Georgia is heritagepresbyterianchurch .com. Heritage Presbyterian Church. And don't forget, folks, you can also look up more about comprehensivechristianity .com and the other things that they make available, including this book that we have been discussing today.
I want to thank you so much, Dr. Moorcraft. I look forward to your return very soon, and I want you all to always remember for the rest of your lives that Jesus Christ is a far greater Savior than you are a sinner.
