Cook and Swig discuss the 4 horsemen of post-modernity: Roland Barthe, Jaques Derrida, John Paul Sartre, and Michel Foucault.

I seek meaning!" - As many of those who had long-ignored such archaic myths were recording his expression of closed mindedness. "What is this, the 19th century?" asked one. "Look to yourself," said another. "Why so intense? Why so closed minded? Why so bigotted? — Thus, they looked back at their phones. The White Man knocked one's phone into a drain. "Where is meaning?" he cried; "I will tell you. There is none — for you and I. Our lives are vain. But how did this happen? How could we forget our own mothers? Which of us scientists were permitted to make zombies? What were we doing when we took the same drugs? When will we overdose? Which hit will end us? Are we not high continually? Dulled, Doped, Dumbed in every way? Which 12 steps will save us? Are we knocked out already? Have we not OD'd? Can we get any higher? Does progress not leave us somewhere? Do we not need Narcan in the morning? Do we hear nothing but our air pods? Do we see nothing but the apple of knowledge of good and evil? Do we not need to be charged? Men, too, run out of battery. Man has no meaning. He remains meaningless. and we were the ones who forgot about it. How shall we withdraw ourselves, the highest of all addicts? What brought joy and fulfillment in the world has yet been drugged on the drugs we invented: Who will paint us a masterpiece to ponder? Will our children take in us parents who pushed them to the streets? Can Halloween and parades sober us? Is it too late to find? Must we all become dealers to make money? Influencers to simply appear worthy? There has never been a greater deed; and whoever is born after us—for the sake of this deed he will belong to a higher history than all history hitherto." Here the white man fell silent and looked again at his listeners; and they, too, were silent and stared at him with astonishment. At last, he threw his lantern on the ground, and it broke into pieces and went out. "I have come too late," he said then; "I was silent for too long. This tremendous collapse has already happened; those who need to hear this have deafened themselves. It will require much time.  Deconstruction takes but a moment while reconstruction would require eternity. These students are too lost - and yet they have been led by the blind. It has been related further that on the same day the white man forced his way into several basements and there joined into the lustful devotion to pictures of other grown boys. He imagined himself with a woman and 10 children, and good friends, as he fell into his own dark sleep.

They mostly discuss Kantianism, Utilitarianism and Virtue Ethics but also touch on Relativism, Divine Command Theory, and Natural Law. After years of mystery, Mr. Cook finally confesses his ethical system... Need Beef? stolzfamilyfarm7@gmail.com Support the continuation of Cook and Swig: patreon.com/cookandswig

He, because I could not pay it, gave my full redemption price. Do I need earth’s treasures many?  I have one worth more than any That brought me salvation free, Lasting to eternity! Stanza 2 Sin, disturb my soul no longer: I am baptized into Christ! I have comfort even stronger: Jesus’ cleansing sacrifice. Should a guilty conscience seize me, since my baptism did release me In a dear forgiving flood, sprinkling me with Jesus’ blood? Stanza 3 Satan, hear this proclamation: I am baptized into Christ! Drop your ugly accusation; I am not so soon enticed. Now that to the font I’ve traveled, all your might has come unraveled, And, against your tyranny, God, my Lord, unites with me! Stanza 4 Death, you cannot end my gladness: I am baptized into Christ! When I die, I leave all sadness to inherit paradise! Though I lie in dust and ashes faith’s assurance brightly flashes: Baptism has the strength divine to make life immortal mine. Stanza 5 There is nothing worth comparing to this lifelong comfort sure! Open-eyed my grave is staring: Even there I’ll sleep secure. Though my flesh awaits its raising, still my soul continues praising: I am baptized into Christ; I’m a child of paradise!   Want you more from Flame? - Follow @flame314 - Home - Extra Nos Music (extranosacademy.com) Recommended Books - BookOfConcord.org · The Original Home of the Book of Concord - Spirituality of the Cross Revised Edition: Gene Edward Veith: 9780758613035: Amazon.com: Books - The Great Divide: A Lutheran Evaluation of Reformed Theology: Cooper, Jordan: 9781498224239: Amazon.com: Books - The Genius of Luther's Theology: A Wittenberg Way of Thinking for the Contemporary Church: Kolb, Robert, Arand, Charles P.: 9780801031809: Amazon.com: Books - Sculptor Spirit: Models of Sanctification from Spirit Christology: Sànchez M., Leopoldo A., Garcìa-Johnson, Oscar: 9780830852338: Amazon.com: Books  
Cook discusses an ancient Christian practice that Roman Catholic nuns have monopolized, while Swig discusses God-given roles in life (even if we think we chose them).

Cook and Swig host Dr. Jordan B Cooper in an episode devoted to the Holy Trinity. Is the Father the only God? Is the Son a creation of God? Is the Holy Spirit a woman? All these are discussed and more. Learn how to read the Bible like a heretic, the necessity of abstraction, and the three premises needed to prove the Trinity biblically.  Dr. Cooper's favorite Lutheran hymns: - Thy Strong Word - God's Own Child, I Gladly Say It - The Law of God is Good and Wise - From the Depths of Woe, I Cry to Thee (Lyrics Below) 1 From depths of woe I cry to thee, Lord, hear me, I implore thee. Bend down thy gracious ear to me, my prayer let come before thee. If thou rememb'rest each misdeed, if each should have its rightful meed, who may abide thy presence? 2 Thy love and grace alone avail to blot out my transgression; the best and holiest deeds must fail to break sin's dread oppression. Before thee none can boasting stand, but all must fear thy strict demand and live alone by mercy. 3 Therefore my hope is in the LORD and not in mine own merit; it rests upon his faithful Word to them of contrite spirit that he is merciful and just; this is my comfort and my trust. His help I wait with patience. 4 And though it tarry till the night and till the morning waken, my heart shall never doubt his might nor count itself forsaken. Do thus, O ye of Israel's seed, ye of the Spirit born indeed; wait for your God's appearing. 5 Though great our time and sore our woes, his grace much more aboundeth; his helping love no limit knows, our utmost need it soundeth. Our Shepherd good and true is He, who will at last his Israel free from all their sin and sorrow.

You did yourself abase that from sin's deep disgrace you might now save our race, and give us life. 3 You are the great High Priest, you have prepared the feast of holy love; and in our mortal pain none calls on you in vain; our plea do not disdain; help from above. 4 O ever be our guide, our shepherd and our pride, our staff and song.
