Two Lutheran (LCMS) men bring a theological lens to the world, and relate the state of the world back to theology. Topics are timely, challenging, and fearless. We’ll probably make you nervous, sometimes make you angry, but never leave you bored. We are the stones who cry out.
For everything there is a time, and a right time for every matter under heaven:
a right time to give birth, and a right time to die;
a right time to plant, and a right time to pluck up what is planted;
a right time to kill, and a right time to heal;
a right time to tear down, and a right time to build;
a right time to weep, and a right time to laugh;
a right time to mourn, and a right time to dance;
a right time to throw stones, and a right time to gather stones;
a right time to embrace, and a right time to be far from embracing;
a right time to seek, and a right time to lose;
a right time to keep, and a right time to throw away;
a right time to tear, and a right time to sew;
a right time to keep silence, and a right time to speak;
a right time to love, and a right time to hate;
a right time for war…

Translating Scripture from Greek
In this final episode of the Septuagint (LXX) series, we discuss what needs to be done to produce a proper translation of the LXX in English. This a technical episode, but a vital one. There should exist in every language spoken by a Christian nation a definitive version of the Scriptures in that language, and in this episode we provide the structure and the mechanics by which that can be achieved.
This will be a years-long project, and it will have to be undertaken by other men. Until then, we have provided links to a number of existing English translations in the shot notes, infra. Any existing version of the LXX in English is certainly better than all of the extant copies based on the rabbinic text.

10 Sept 2025TRANSCRIPT
The Septuagint — New Testament, Part 2
This episode is our closing argument for the Septuagint (LXX) and its proper place as the Word of God — the Scripture of the Early Church, the Apostles, and Christ Himself. Once you have finished this episode, you will need to decide for yourself if you believe the argument as presented or if you intend to double down on the ‘Hebrew’ the rabbis smuggled into the churches. The question is one of fidelity to God and to His Word, and it is a question that will split the churches, that will sift the wheat from the chaff.
“But I and my household will serve the Lord, because He is holy.”
