S5E26: The Ghost of Ben Franklin: "Did you keep your republic?"

from God, Law & Liberty Podcast · host David Fowler

Today David traces the meaning of the terms "state" and "republic" prior to 1776 through the constitutional revolutions throughout Europe in 1848 to what republic means now in light of the No Kings protest and use of the term "democratic republic." The change in meaning is very revealing, telling Christians what must change in politics, law, and the church.Support the show: https://www.factennessee.org/donateSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
