The Foreign Saint's Podcast

Leviticus 18.18, often cited to support polygamy, actually bans it through an idiomatic Hebrew phrase. In this episode, Jewish scholar Rabbi Naftali ben Avraham joins me to unpack the true meaning of this controversial verse—and how ancient Jewish traditions, from the Dead Sea Scrolls to the Mishnah, understood it differently.We break down multiple historical sources, illustrating how Jewish thought from the Second Temple period to the Middle Ages viewed polygamy, often condemning it.We also examine how rabbinic opinions and mystical texts like the Zohar shed light on the divine design of marriage and the inherent issues with polygyny, including rivalry, emotional harm, and social chaos. Most importantly, you'll learn why a straightforward reading of Leviticus 18.18 aligns with a consistent biblical ethic that forbids polygamy altogether, reinforcing that the practice contradicts the core message of love, faithfulness, and the unity of souls taught by Yeshua.This episode is perfect for believers deeply committed to biblical integrity, Jews and Christians wrestling with the implications of Scripture, and anyone interested in the social and theological impact of marriage practices across history. If you're seeking clarity amidst centuries of conflicting interpretations, this episode will challenge assumptions and deepen your understanding of God's design for marriage—rooted in truth, not tradition.Join us to see how biblical language, ancient wisdom, and modern insights converge to reveal that polygamy is not only culturally discouraged but biblically forbidden—empowering you to approach this hot-button issue with confidence and biblical clarity.

Most people see Christianity and Judaism as two separate paths, but what if they are fundamentally one and the same? In this episode, Saint K challenges common assumptions by revealing how Christianity is the true continuation of ancient Judaism—rooted in the blood of the covenants, the Passover, and the holy rituals that prefigure Christ’s sacrifice. He unpacks the profound connection between the Lord’s Supper and Old Testament promises, showing that Jesus' blood isn’t just symbolic but the very heart of God's covenant with His people.You'll discover:How the ceremonial elements of Passover point directly to Jesus as the fulfillment of God's blood-based covenant.The significance of Isaiah’s servant songs and Zechariah’s prophecy as prefigurations of Christ’s role as the eternal covenant for humanity.Why Jesus delays His final communion until the kingdom is fully realized—and what that reveals about His intentionality in following divine law.The deep spiritual and physical sufferings Jesus endured in Gethsemane, including the rare phenomenon of hematohydrosis, illustrating that His agony was both supernatural and profoundly human.The surprising lesson of love and forgiveness demonstrated even in Judas’ betrayal—the ultimate act of mercy that Christ extends to all sinners, including ourselves when we fail.Why does this matter? Because understanding that Christianity is rooted in the genuine Jewish faith transforms how we see salvation, our relationship with God, and the very nature of divine love. This episode isn’t just theological insight—it’s a call to humility, reverence, and renewed devotion to the One who paid the highest price for our redemption.Perfect for believers craving a deeper connection to biblical roots, and for skeptics open to seeing Christianity through a historic and prophetic lens. Learn how the true Jewishness of Jesus shapes our faith and clarifies the gospel’s eternal truth.Join us in reflecting on the suffering, sacrifice, and love of Jesus in the garden of Gethsemane—the oil press where divine love was pressed out for our salvation. Witness the unbreakable link between the Old and New Covenants and stand in awe of the King who follows His own law, forgives even the worst betrayer, and calls us to live in His grace.

Refuse to let complex and false doctrines rob you of confidence in your salvation. In this gripping episode, Saint K exposes how Catholic teachings about the Eucharist, canon law, and priestly authority distort the true gospel and trap believers in works-based salvation. He shares a powerful personal encounter with a dying patient that reveals how Catholic theology undermines the assurance Christ offers—posing a critical question: Are we trusting in Jesus alone or in religious rituals?You’ll discover:Why the Catholic doctrine of reserving and transporting the Eucharist is a grave violation according to canon law—and what it truly signifies.How biblical passages like Hebrews 9 and 10 sharply contradict Catholic claims of re-presenting Christ’s sacrifice and the false notion of ongoing priestly sacrifices.The dangerous implications of legalistic salvation versus the biblical message of grace—highlighted through real-life stories and scripture that reinforce the assurance only faith in Christ provides.How the church’s gatekeeping creates unnecessary hurdles, shutting the door of salvation, and what the Bible actually says about corporate worship and home gatherings in early Christianity.This episode isn't just a critique of Catholicism—it's a call for believers to understand the liberating truth of the gospel. If you're tired of hollow rituals and want to rest in the certainty of Christ’s finished work, this is essential listening. Perfect for pastors, theologians, or anyone questioning the security of their faith—because the gospel, and only the gospel, is the foundation of true salvation.Get ready to see Scripture in a new light and uncover the hope and security Christ alone provides. Don't miss this deep dive into biblical truth that challenges tradition and invites you to stand firm in Christ’s perfect sacrifice.

Great conversations were had over the weekend with 3 muslims from pakistan and an athesit from Kenya! Many thanks to my Noteworthy International for their work in setting up these gospel appointments. Be encouraged by hearing the gospel go forth. Pray for them all but especially the kenyan atheist. God is opening his eyes to the truth of who Jesus really is!Enjoy and be blessed!

Most Christians don’t realize how easily scholars can be misquoted — and how that dishonesty can distort biblical truth and derail genuine faith discussions. Saint K’s latest episode exposes the manipulative tactics used by an advocate of polygyny in my comments section, revealing how he cherry-pick scholars’ words to support a false narrative. Saint K takes a 2nd dive into the passages in 1 Timothy , showing how eager some are to distort the meaning of "one woman man" to justify polygamy. He illustrates how quotes from respected scholars like J.E. Adams are twisted or taken out of context — all in an effort to support a pro-polygyny agenda. By fact-checking the very sources cited, Saint K exposes the dishonesty and misinterpretation that pervades much of the debate. You’ll discover:How scholars’ words are deliberately misrepresented to promote polygamy as biblically supported.The importance of context in biblical passages, especially concerning leadership qualifications and marriage.Why honest interpretation hinges on reading the scholars’ entire arguments, not just cherry-picked snippets.The history of polygamy in Israel and among early Christian communities, countering modern claims it was outlawed or absent from history.Practical lessons for believers on how to spot and confront biblical dishonesty — whether online debates or real-world conversations.Ignoring this truth isn’t just misleading — it risks undermining biblical authority and good theology. This episode equips you with the insight to spot errors, question dishonest quotes, and stand firm in biblical integrity. If you want to defend Scripture from manipulation, this episode is essential listening. Because in spiritual warfare, knowing the truth is your greatest weapon.Not just for pastors or theologians — perfect for anyone committed to biblical accuracy and resisting false doctrines. Stay vigilant, stay informed, and let scripture speak for itself.Enjoy and be blessed!

In this episode, we explore the heart of Judas' betrayal, uncovering the lessons behind one of the Bible’s most tragic stories. We examine Judas' motivations, the significance of his actions in God's redemptive plan, and how his story1) Warns us not to be hypocrites in the church2) Comforts those of us that have been hurt by hypocrites in the church3) Challenges us to never reverse the two greatest commands Jesus ever gave.Enjoy and be blessed!

Most Christians have no idea how deeply Islam is rooted in spiritual deception—and how dangerous Ramadan truly is. North Carolina’s governor just praised Ramadan’s observance, but behind the scenes, this episode reveals its true spiritual and moral implications.Saint K dismantles the official narrative by exposing the spiritual warfare behind the celebration of Islam’s holy month. You’ll discover how Muhammad’s revelations resemble a demonic assault, not divine truth—comparing the biblical encounter with divine angels to Muhammad’s terrifying cave experience. We break down the Quran’s teachings on wife-beating, child marriage, and violent warfare, contrasting them with biblical standards of love, respect, and justice. The episode lays bare the spiritual deception fueling Islamic doctrine, including its call for ongoing violence against Jews and Christians, while Christians are called to love enemies, not fight them. You’ll learn why celebrating Ramadan means endorsing a religion that promotes pedophilia, intolerance, and spiritual oppression.

Catholicism, the Council of Jerusalem, and the Gospel: A Critical ExaminationIn this episode, we confront the fundamental inconsistencies between Catholic doctrine and the biblical record of the apostles' teachings, especially regarding salvation and the role of the law. This is a clear call to re-evaluate the historical and doctrinal claims of the Church of Rome versus the early church's message of grace through faith in Jesus Christ.Main Topics Covered:The significance of the Council of Jerusalem as the first ecumenical council and its implicationsThe contrast between the Council of Trent's teachings and the biblical account of salvation by grace through faithThe historical reliability of Luke’s account in Acts and its confrontation with Catholic catechismThe biblical requirement for salvation: faith in Jesus Christ alone, not obedience to the Law of MosesThe theological inconsistency of Catholic salvation doctrine as shown through Paul’s epistles and the early church councilThe Council of Jerusalem (Acts 15) explicitly states that adherence to the Law of Moses was not necessary for salvation, directly contradicting Catholic catechism 2068 which links salvation to obedienceThe apostles, including Peter, affirm salvation by grace through faith alone, reaffirmed in Acts 21, recognizing that Gentiles are saved independently of the LawCatholic councils, such as Trent, have declared that obedience to commandments is essential for salvation, directly opposing the biblical narrativeThe historical record supports the biblical account, revealing Catholic teachings as inconsistent with apostolic doctrineBelievers are called to trust in Christ’s finished work, not human works or adherence to the Law, to attain eternal lifeKey Insights:Timestamps:00:00 - Introduction to the Catholic dilemma and the Council of Jerusalem02:19 - The Islamic dilemma and its comparison to Catholicism09:00 - The doctrinal contradiction: Jerusalem vs. Trent10:24 - The role and recognition of ecumenical councils in Catholic doctrine13:44 - The significance of the Council of Trent’s teachings versus biblical record15:36 - The contrast between law and grace in salvation19:19 - Biblical account of the Jerusalem Council and Paul’s defense21:14 - Salvation by grace alone in Acts 15 and its reaffirmation30:03 - The unity of early church decisions versus modern Catholic teaching57:59 - The inconsistency between catechism and biblical biblical teaching59:47 - The biblical record as the foundation of Christian doctrine

In the days of Noah, society was living as if nothing would change. They were eating, drinking, and marrying, completely unaware of the impending judgment. Just like them, we might be caught up in our daily lives, ignoring the signs all around us. Jesus warns us to stay alert because we won't know the exact moment He returns. It's our responsibility to be prepared! So, how can we apply this today? By recognizing the importance of our actions and choices. Are we living in a way that truly honors God? Remember, the Spirit of God is not going to strive with us forever. What are you doing today to ensure you’re ready for tomorrow?Chapters00:00 Understanding Jesus' Return Through Noah's Ministry05:28 The Implications of Jesus' Return on Our Lives13:47 The Days of Noah: A Warning for Today23:04 Rejecting God's Mercy: Lessons from Noah's Time33:42 Faithful vs. Wicked Servants: A Call to Action40:55 The Parable of the Ten Virgins54:15 The Parable of the Talents01:00:31 The Final Judgment

Saint K explores the teachings of Jesus regarding the end times as presented in Matthew 24. He discusses the context of Jesus' prophecy, the signs of the end, the expected persecution and apostasy within the church, and the ultimate return of Christ.Chapters00:00 Understanding the End Times03:35 The Context of Jesus' Prophecy12:55 Signs of the End: What to Expect21:38 Persecution and Apostasy29:54 The Good News and the Abomination of Desolation41:00 The Return of Christ and Final Judgment

This is one part of a 7+ hour conversation I had with an atheist buddy of mine that I play yu-gi-oh and chess online with sometimes. There will be a few more parts incoming, not necessarily in the order the topics happened in real time.

How is this a Gospel to the Nations video if you're talking to a Christian? Simple; not everyone who claims Jesus truly understands his gospel. This conversation shows that. This Ethiopian woman was so relieved at the end of this call because her eyes were opened to the completeness of Jesus's atoning sacrifice AND that the Scripture declared this to be the plan all along. She learned that her BEST obdeience is to just REST in and on the finished work of Messiah on that cross!

I explore the Marian dogmas of Catholicism, arguing against them from a historical perspective without relying on Sola Scriptura. The ever-expanding list of Marian dogma is severly cut-down when you let good historical methods back into the room. If you believe the new testament reliably records history on the earliest church, then the marian dogmas will be dogwalked out of the church.Chapters00:00 Introduction to the Marian Dogmas01:52 Historical Methodology in Christianity05:47 Understanding the Four Marian Dogmas06:41 Mary as Theotokos: Mother of God08:03 Mary's Perpetual Virginity14:07 Mary's Immaculate Conception20:30 Mary's Bodily Assumption23:24 Veneration of Mary and Historical Claims39:03 The Role of Early Christian Writings44:13 Understanding the Role of Mary in the Gospels46:38 Interpreting Revelation and the Queen of Heaven50:36 Jesus' Relationship with Mary: A Historical Perspective55:02 The Authority of Church Fathers vs. Scripture01:03:02 The Theotokos: A Deeper Dive into Marian Dogmas01:05:44 The Tale of the Five Prayers: A Critical Examination01:10:41 The True Gospel vs. Different Gospels01:17:59 Concluding Thoughts on Marian Veneration

Saint K delves into the complex topic of same-sex parenting, emphasizing the importance of adult sacrifice for children's well-being. He argues that when children are forced to sacrifice for adults, society suffers. The discussion is rooted in both data and scripture, aiming to equip Christians with informed perspectives on the subject. Saint K critiques existing research on same-sex parenting, highlighting methodological flaws and biases that may skew results.Throughout the episode, he presents various studies, including those from Cornell University and PubMed, to illustrate the discrepancies in findings regarding the well-being of children raised by same-sex parents. He raises concerns about small sample sizes, lack of control groups, and the potential for bias in self-reported data. By comparing these studies to traditional family structures, he argues that children benefit most from being raised in homes with both a mother and a father, each contributing unique strengths to parenting. The episode concludes with a call for Christians to engage in these discussions with clarity and conviction, advocating for the well-being of children as a priority.

We HAVE to be ready in season and OUT of season! Elders have to be the theological anchors. Above all, we ALL need to recognize that the heat has been turned up since Charlie Kirk's martyrdom. What happened here was not our best as a church so let's learn from it and do better moving forward.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=80dD3lwcPPM

Are you troubled by the fact that Jesus and the Torah taught different dietary regulations? Does it seem like a contradiction that can't be resolved? This is the teaching for you! The secret is this: the Torah contained more than one set of food laws!

This conversation is rooted in John's Gospel but the topics included are the trinity, Paul's authority, whether Muhammed abused the child-bride Aisha, and of course, the Gospel!

What a perfect way to start off the year 2026! I hope this inspires you to contend for the gospel in your own personal context!

I recieved three comments under the previous video on youtube from "Christians" who support polygyny. This episode is the response video to those three channels (I also tagged them in the youtube video description). The following is the youtube description of the video:I hope you guys do actually watch this and think about the arguments and scripture presented instead of rushing to the comments without watching like last time. You play word games with the text like an LGBTQ affirming church does and the conclusions you reach are different, but, just as wrong. I'm hoping that y'all repent and that others who see this video are equipped to refute this nonsense.

Interpretations of marriage and relationships often spark heated debates. One such discussion revolves around the question: Does Jesus endorse polygyny? In this episode I'll be addressing a VERY ignorant challenge by a heretical pastor concerning divorce and polygyny.

Many people have heard of the 7 deadly sins as a concept but many do not know that Jesus gave a list while he was on earth! That list is today's topic of the message and I hope you're soft-hearted enough to let God show you where you are copying the Pharisees. Jesus pronounced judgment on them because of the things he listed in them. Repent to Jesus so that these things will not be found in you!

Did you know the Torah has laws about rescuing lost animals? This isn't just ancient wisdom—it's a call to action for us today! In our latest episode, we dive into how these laws challenge us to seek out those who are lost, just like Jesus taught. Let's be the ones who don’t ignore what’s in front of us! What’s one way you can reach out to someone who might feel lost? #FindingLost #ChristianCommunity #LoveAndServe #PodcastLife #FaithInAction #JesusSaves #AnimalRescue #SeekAndSave#Christianity #LostAndFound #BiblicalTeachings #Deuteronomy #Jesus #Compassion #FaithJourney #Parables #ForeignSaints

What is the missing ingredient you need to follow Jesus unashamedly in your life? ANGUISH!You're going to hear the story Clementine, a young girl murdered before her time from the mouth of her broken-hearted father Tommy. You'll also learn the 10 stages of genocide and how abortion fits the description all too well. Through it all the underlying lesson is this: all true passion is born out of anguish. My goal is to push you to allow God to share his broken heart with you. You won't be ready to die on a cross until you see how the world is already dying WITHOUT it.Be blessed and enjoy!

We already know there is a genocide of Christians happening in Nigeria and the sharia government of Nigeria turns a blind eye to it. In a shocking turn of events, President Trump has spoken out in his capacity as president against Nigeria by threatening sanctions and military action if the nation continues to neglect to do justice.Is this praise worthy news or has chirstian nationalsim shown itself once again?With Islam on the ascension in the west, how can we as Christians go on the offensive in the spiritual war of ideas?What is the connection between false worship and social injustice?

The church in America is at a cross roads: will we confess our King or will we be silent? The Spirit of Jesus is raising up a grassroots generation to be bold confessors within their families, in their jobs, and in our communities. Is he raising you up? Is he calling you into the fellowship of the unashamed? Julian, in this episode, wrestles with that very question as he asks me if and how he should talk his transgender friend about the Gospel. Many of you that listen to me regularly are in Julians shoes so listen in and here what the Spirit is saying his churches. Listen in, be encouraged and blessed. Enjoy!

This is the longest video I've made to date. I intend to answer the question of his martyrdom and along the way defend against the character assassination of this man so that the multi-ethnic church of Jesus does not miss out on being encouraged and built up by his contribution to the Great Comission. Use the time-stamps in this description to go right to the particular issue that concerns you the most about Charlie Kirk. Enjoy, be encouraged, be challanged, and be blessed in Christ!Takeaways1) There are different levels of martyrs, with varying degrees of sacrifice and witness.2) Testimony plays a crucial role in the concept of martyrdom.3) A good confession of faith can be made in various non-formulaic ways.4) Christians are called to contend for their faith actively.5) Critiques of Charlie Kirk often overlook the complexities of grace and redemption. An entire generation struggles with productive conversations about religion and politics from being taught to treat them as taboo topics.6) Historical events shape present circumstances and should be acknowledged.7) The church has a vital role in advocating for justice and truth in society.Chapters00:00 Intro03:20 1.0 What is a Martyr?18:56 1.1 The 3 Tiers of Martyrdom38:20 2.0 Was Charlie Kirk a Christian?45:11 2.1 Charlie Kirk on Evangelism50:15 2.2 Charlie Kirk Valued Jesus Higher Than Politics58:42 2.3 Dr. Frank Turek on Charlie's Personal Character01:02:32 2.4 Was Charlie Kirk Too Sinful To Be a Martyr?01:09:21 2.5 Charlie Kirk on The Civil Rights Act01:11:54 2.6 Charlie Kirk's Theology on Race & Ethnicity01:25:35 2.7 Charlie Kirk on Homelessness01:42:35 2.8 Charlie Kirk on Black Fatherlessness01:58:03 2.9 Joe Biden Hired Based on Race and Quality02:09:17 2.10 Did Charlie Kirk Insult ALL Black Women?02:21:21 2.11 What is a Nationalist?02:23:55 2.12 Charlie Kirk Pressed on Nationalism By a Christian02:41:45 2.13 How 1 Timothy 2 Reveals Charlie Kirk's Calling03:08:32 3.0 Was Charlie Kirk a Christian Martyr?03:13:12 3.1 How Should Christians Respond and Move Forward?

Karai & Meredith, joined by Christian Ashley, host of the Let Nothing Move You Podcast on Spotify discuss the assassination of Charlie Kirk, exploring the cultural and political ramifications of such violence against a prominent conservative figure. They delve into the implications for Christians in America, the rise of cultural violence, and the need for the church to respond with love and understanding. The discussion also touches on the definitions of assassination, the chilling effects of lawlessness, and the importance of spiritual warfare in the face of societal challenges. Ultimately, the trio emphasize the call for Christians to love their enemies and engage in meaningful dialogue, even amidst hostility.Takeaways1) The assassination of Charlie Kirk could herald the re-emergence of cultural violence against Christians in America.2) Cultural hostility towards Christianity is increasing in America.3) The response to Kirk's assassination reflects a broader societal issue.4) Assassination is defined as a politically motivated murder.5) The chilling effect of lawlessness is evident in society today.6) Christians must engage in spiritual warfare against evil.7) The church is called to love its enemies, even in difficult times.8) Celebrating violence against political opponents is morally wrong.9) The importance of community and grieving together as a church.10) Christians should focus on the gospel and not be swayed by left or right cultural pressures.Chapters00:00 The Tragic Assassination of Charlie Kirk06:41 Cultural and Political Ramifications12:49 Defining Assassination and Its Implications20:26 The Chilling Effect of Lawlessness27:02 Historical Parallels and Future Concerns38:48 Spiritual Warfare and Cultural Significance44:23 The Role of the Church in Grief and Lamentation49:56 Engaging in Spiritual Warfare54:45 The Church's Response to Cultural Challenges01:04:40 Love and Empathy in a Divided World

I was reading Genesis 23 and God blew my mind with this meditation. The title of this show goes right back to the begining of the saga of redemption! What does the scripture teach about this concept of being a foreign saint and what can we learn from Abraham, Moses, and David: foreigners that have gone before us already.Thumbnail credit goes to Lamp Mode Recording and Stephen the Levite for the album cover of "The Last Missionary." I thought the image fit rather well.

Very impromptu conversation at the Walk for Life Event in Gastonia, North Carolina with my sister in the faith Jay. She had some questions about spiritual warfare but I noticed that she was putting herself in bondage by the way she esteemed the gift of tongues. I have never in my life seen chains broken that fast by reading 1 Corinthians 14, you don't want to miss it!

In the wake of another deadly shooting that has the nations attention we as Christians have an opportunity to display something many in the world do not expect to see: love. How do you show love to enemies in the face of such open evil while suffering persecution and loss? We remember what the true fight of the Gospel is all about.

You can share the gospel like this in your own way when you take the scripture seriously and seek Jesus in prayer. He sows the good seed of the sons of the kingdom into the field of the world to obtain a harvest! Pray for this young man to soften his heart to the truth of the ressurection and the kingship of Jesus in his life!

People often speak of God choosinf people in aan arbitrary, mysterious way. The truth is that the scripture tells us exactly what that criteria for being chosen by God is.

I share a personal experience of spiritual warfare through a vivid dream where I confront a demonic presence. I explore spiritual warfare, emphasizing that it is primarily a battle of the mind against spiritual forces of evil. Drawing from biblical teachings, I discuss the importance of knowledge, perseverance, and being chosen by Jesus in the fight against darkness. The episode culminates in reflections on the dream and encouragement for listeners to remain steadfast in their faith.

My wife and I use the book of Proverbs to shed light on the positives and negatives of President Trump's 2nd term now that we're 6-7 months in. The conversation covers various topics, including immigration policies, welfare programs like WIC and SNAP, and the implications of Trump's actions on justice and equity.

When people are denying Jesus there is some level of intellectual dishonesty going on and in conversations with people who do that it can feel like you're playing a dumb game. The priesthood in Jesus's day were experts in this dumb game of "denying what's obvious and in your face." In this episode you'll learn how to deal with people that play this dumb game along with another dive into the doctrine of the Trinity and how to use the parable of the tenants against Islam.

This is for a sister in faith at the local church I go to BUT it should also be useful for all struggling with a similar question. With Catholocism and Eastern Orthodox on the rise again don't be shocked to see content on this show addressing the inconsistencies between those views and the scripture. If you have any questions for me then send them to "[email protected]" or leave a comment under the video and I'll see what I can do. Enjoy and be blessed!

In this episode, Saint K delves into Jesus cursing the fig tree and its connection to faith, prayer, and the angel of the LORD. The riddle of the old testament: no one has ever seen God but there are stories that claim some people did so...who was it that they saw? Additionally, the passions that war within us and hinder our prayers get confronted this week so that we can better bear fruit for God and glorify his name. Be blessed and enjoy!

Saint K explores Jesus' actions and teachings in his triumphal entry into Jerusalem, the cleansing of the temple, and his quoting of the greek translation of the Tanak.

This phrase "the first will be last and the last first" is one of those phrases that people seem to regularly define without giving hard and fast scripture references. Jesus used a parable to define it so that's what we will draw from today.
