Responding to several reels and shorts in this episode, including Brian Sauve's faux pas regarding the "chapter and verse" discussion, James Baird's remark on the "principles" of God's Law, the "general equity" of paintball guns, and Doug Wilson's sounding more like a politician than a pastor, plus commentary on the aesthetic preaching of Hollywood!

Luke continues his reaction of Right Response Ministries' promotion of what they call "Natural Law Theonomy" and points out their becoming a law unto themselves. One reason given by Webbon on why we can't follow God's law, amazingly, is "planes, trains, and automobiles." Perhaps God forgot about dominion when He wrote His perfect law?
