First episode with a discussion of the Scarlet Thread of Scripture. Starting with Luke 24 and the revelation of Jesus throughout the Old Testament, we then addressed the historical heresy of Marcion and his continued heretical legacy today. That understanding was then applied to the modern Marcionism of the LGBTQ movement and their attempt to undermine the historical understanding and exegesis of the Bible.
