    Ep. 235: King of Kings?
    Nov 19 2024

    In the wake of the recent U.S. election, Dr. Oord discusses the implications of ascribing the titles like 'King of Kings'. Those implications include giving properties to God belonging exclusively to Caesar, and affording excess privileges and power to political leaders.

    In his book, The Death of Omnipotence and Birth of Amipotence, Dr. Oord makes a compelling case for abandoning traditional ideas of omnipotence ascribed to God in favor of what he coins, 'amipotence'--the power of uncontrolling love.
