Total Depravity
The “T” in “TULIP” is discussed in this episode (the first of five shows on the subject of “The Doctrines of Grace”, also called “The Five Points of Calvinism”). Several key Bible passages are brought up, and some key terms are clarified (such as “Total Depravity” being best understood as “Radical Depravity” and not “Utter Depravity”), as both adherents and detractors of Reformed Theology weigh in.
This is the first of five sequential radio shows tackling this subject. All five are available as one long video on the Rumble channel for Household of Faith in Christ.
The panel:
Troy Skinner. Pastor, Household of Faith in Christ
Daniel Razvi. Pastor, Church That Meets at Imran’s

History, Homophobia, and the Abomination of Desolation
The Lord’s return is much closer than many assume. The new book “The Last Days Pride Parade and the Return of the Lord” by Tom Maccabeus says the church needs insights to both understand and be prepared for whatever challenges lie ahead. This book illustrates how God’s people can overcome the current forces at work, even those of antichrist. These things are the focus of this episode of The Faith Debate.

The Return of the Lord
A local author says that Christians are unaware of key Bible passages, and need to know about them because they foreshadow the dark colors of the expanding LGBTQIA+ rainbow being manifested in our day. This information also relates to major events described in the book of Daniel and mentioned by Christ in Mathew 24. The book is “The Last Days Pride Parade and the Return of the Lord” by Tom Maccabeus.

The Last Days Pride Parade
A new book titled “The Last Days Pride Parade and the Return of the Lord” sets forth groundbreaking research working to connect ancient prophesies about the Biblical antichrist with the not so ancient LGBTQIA+ worldwide anti-biblical movement. Author Tom Maccabeus argues that historic details and prophetic passages have been overlooked since the early church, so the book’s publisher visit’s the show to focus upon the biblical (and extra-biblical) sources highlighted in the book.

Head Coverings: Putting a Bow on It
Does the Bible require Christian women to wear a head covering in certain situations? Does the Bible prohibit men from wearing a head covering in certain situations? Not everyone in the church agrees how to best answer these questions; why? This is the final episode in an arc of five shows addressing head coverings (and to a lesser extent, questions about women speaking during a worship service and preaching in the role of a pastor).
This is the fifth of five radio shows tackling this subject. All five episodes are available as one long video on the Rumble channel for Household of Faith in Christ.

The History of Head Coverings, Ancient and Modern
Why has the practice of head covering seemingly disappeared from churches after being widely practiced for hundreds of 1800 years? What did early Christians believe about veiling? Was head covering an ancient social custom without relevance for today? Is long hair the only required head covering? Or must it be cloth (or even something like a metal helmet)? Would God cast someone into hell because they refused to practice veiling?

The Head Covering
The Head Covering by Josiah Bongioanni offers insights into questions that arise from 1 Corinthians 11 in a style that mixes analytical thinking with numerous stories and historical quotes. In an age where the church is continually moving away from Biblical principles and neglecting divine commands, this book draws attention to an oft neglected question, aiming to call Christians away from following wayward society and determining what God’s Word says so as to follow the Bible seriously.

Sundays 9AM to 9:30AM
The Frederick Faith Debate is designed to be an open an honest forum for local faith community leaders to share and discuss their views of the truth. Lady Bird Johnson once said, “the clash of ideas is the sound of freedom”. In that spirit, the show seriously wrestles with important ideas… the participant often disagreeing with one another. The hope is that through this wrestling a better understanding of the truth will develop with regards to the most important issues facing the world.
In other words, The Frederick Faith Debate is home to conflict resolution on the issues that matter most. We can’t truly resolve anything without understanding. And we can’t gain authentic understanding without honesty. So, that’s what you get here. A safe haven for honesty. We share what we hold to be true and why. Where there’s disagreement, we hash it out. Because we know why we’re here, there’s no worry over hurt feelings. At the end, if we fail to persuade each other within the confines of our program’s allotted time, we will at least know not only where we stand, but the reasons that we camp out where we do.
