Michael Francis Scotto
Brooklyn's Dad Talks About the Bible
A podcast centering on conversational Christian theology and Bible study. Along the way, we may detour and visit myriad of topics from baseball to bass, pop culture to politics, movies to music, history to histrionics and just about everything in between from a conservative, yet somewhat unorthodox and dispensational Christian point of view. Your humble host is a former Religious Education teacher who chucked it all to become a lonely workman trying to rightly divide, compare things that differ, so as not to be ashamed. (2 Tim 2:15) There is only one theology that matters in the end, YOUR OWN.

S3 Ep44 Hark! The Best Thing About Christmas is the Hope of Resurrection! 20.12.2023 22:15
We draw on a line in the carol "Hark! The Herald Angels Sing" and discuss the vast implications. We focus again on God's plans for the Earth as we pull the camera back and look at the universal truth of all mankind: you're going to die. Death is the curse. Death is the last enemy. The only way death could be conquered is if God himself came to take that punishment and conquer it in resurrection. "...
S3 Ep43 The Soft Bigotry of Low Expectations in College Admissions 15.12.2023 23:50
Whenever I hear the word "equity" bandied about, my mind races in two directions. The first is the idea that elites have such low opinions of certain groups of people that they are convinced they cannot compete without their help. The second is another form of racism, that is, the assumption that people of European (oe even Asian) descent are inherently evil. Their language may try to couch it, bu...
S3 Ep42 People Won't Worship My Christmas Tree and More Catholics Opposed to Catholicism 11.12.2023 27:58
We briefly discuss more more Catholics who want to tell us that Catholicism means never having to listen to the Pope. We wander into Jeremiah 10 and the misuse and out-of-context application of Israel's prophets to today's Christmas trees. We lament YouTube's decision to give me a strike for misinformation about the CV vaxx... because I posted a movie clip from 2014.
S3 Ep41 Palestine, Ukraine Wars, Illegal Immigration, Prices, & Anti-Semitism 101 on Campus 08.11.2023 43:34
We run amok! Colleges backing Jew-Haters, expensive Happy Meals, open borders, Russia winning the war we were told they already lost, etc. we briefly revisit the minimum wage reality as we ponder more contradictions and hypocrisy from the usual suspects. We cap it off with a visit to Columbia University which is quick to crack down on dangerous terrorists who want to keep porn out of Kindergarten...
S3 Ep40 Jew-Haters (Bible-Haters) Take Off the Mask PLUS Achieving World Peace 23.10.2023 25:48
Rick Wiles of TruNews has said that America is (ironically) like Nazi Germany in that you're not allowed to criticize Israel just like you were not allowed to criticize Hitler (ironically). He also likes to use the old "Christ Killers!" trope. We look at Israel today with a big lens filtered through scripture. When we rightly divide the Word of Truth, we start to see God's plan for the earth. Isra...
S3 Ep39 University Fans of Decolonization Refuse to Decolonize 14.10.2023 19:51
We send a little love to the Roman Empire and British Empire as we call on all the universities and companies who do "land acknowledgments" to DECOLONIZE and give back the land! We take another look at the Israel-Palestinian conflict from a global view. Apologists for atrocities fail to listen to those they seek to support. The call of the terrorists isn't just to decolonize Palestine, it's to dec...
S3 Ep38 Contemporary Christian Shtick 12.10.2023 25:36
Failed musician, Michael Scotto, looks at a couple of current shticks (gimmicks) used in the production of far too many contemporary Christian songs. He then blabbers on with his useless opinion of the CCM scene as a whole and takes cheap shots at successful musicians. Those who can't do, criticize. I think that's right.
S3 Ep 37 Barbarians at the Gates of Jerusalem 10.10.2023 22:28
We clarify a couple of issues from recent podcasts and then move on to the war in Israel. We discuss, further, Israel's place in the current age and the place the current war might have in God's future plans for Israel. Israel is surely in the land today in unbelief. God has a plan for the earth (most of scripture concerns God's dealings with the earth), but God is currently out a company whose de...
S3 Ep36 Conservative Catholics Against Catholicism 07.10.2023 20:11
With Francis grinding the gears of traditionalist Catholics lately by chastising them for replacing faith with ideology (as he sees it) and his dancing with the concept of what to do with homosexual "civil unions," we explore exactly how traditional such Catholics truly are. Pope Francis calls them "Reactionary," I call them super double extra radicals! Do they believe in their church or not? Do t...
S3 Ep35 Superstition, Religion, and Don't Lie to Your Kids 03.10.2023 21:34
Inspired by a post on Social media about "letters from heaven." And since it's Great Pumpkin Season, we look again at Christian superstitions (which aren't really Christian). We take another look at Th Great Pumpkin's compadre, Santa, in the context of dealing with our kids. We take the middle ground (again) and talk about how the truth is an important pillar of the faith. Santa is fun, Satan isn'...
S3 Ep34 Expanding on the Insidious Nature of Covetousness, Plus Give Peace a Chance! 23.09.2023 19:58
We revisit a couple of topics from the PowerPoint presentation in our last episode: the responsibilities in marriage and how covetousness can lead to other sins like malice towards other people. We finish with a couple of more politicians being politicians and, finally, a plea for peace in Ukraine. Podcast on the Old and New Covenants: https://www.spreaker.com/episode/52833157
S3 Ep33 PowerPoint Paul - Warnings in Ephesians 5 and Colossians 3 18.09.2023 34:58
As promised, a shorter version of my bible study PowerPoint presentation concerning Paul's instructions and warnings to us in Ephesians 5 and Colossians 3. We are always mindful to never diminish the glory and mercy and love the Lord displayed for us on Calvary and in his glorious conquering of the curse of death in his resurrection. We can never lose that free gift as it is complete and fully pai...
S3 Ep32 Liars to the Left of Me, Grifters to the Right, Here I Am, Stuck in the Middle with Rand 17.09.2023 26:43
We try to put some context on upcoming episodes. Yes, Chuck Schumer is a lying, power-hungry shallow excuse for a human being, but he's just the tip of the political iceberg. The vast majority of Washington DC is infected with these greedy manipulators (along with their willing accomplices in the media). They squabble and jockey for position as the police state expands and the middle class drowns.
S3 Bonus - Upcoming Episodes and Reminder They Have No Values 16.09.2023 9:08
Brief note on upcoming episodes, two of which have already been recorded. A third will be created from a recent Bible Study PowerPoint on the topic of Paul's warning for believers in this age. Plus, two more examples of lying, demonic legislators. The only thing they care about is power and money and they'll manipulate our emotions to get them.
S3 Ep 31 To the moon, Alice! And Other Space Scripts. And Don't Burn Korans 08.09.2023 21:06
We step back and look at the tales of space as told by TV and NASA. Shame we can't go back to the moon because we lost that sweet sweet 1969 computer data. While pondering the reality of what the government shows us, we briefly examine why I don't care what unbelievers do to Bibles or what they say about God. It's their funeral. I don't approve, of course, but I don't expect much from people who t...
S3 Ep 30 We Don't Need a New Magisterium 08.09.2023 23:46
We take a very broad brush look at the catechisms, creeds, and confessions of the Reformed. Admittedly, as with all shades of believers, there is a difference of degree and opinion among our Reformed brethren, but we focus here on the reliance of the New Magisterium many look to. We come back, as we always do, to the responsibility of the individual believer to "study to show thyself approved unto...
S3 Ep29 Agree With the Current Correct and Approved Opinion or Be Damned 06.09.2023 22:53
We continue to take a look at "team" thinking. Partisanship in many respects. We'll discuss a few more issues about which we must give our assent lest we be called names and assigned a scarlet name with an ism or phobe. These are essentially matters of the world, but when our beliefs come in conflict with the world, there will be a price to pay. Yesterday, saying certain things was deemed crazy, t...
S3 Ep 28 Thoughts on Modern Israel, Mortal Sins, and Other Fun Stuff 04.09.2023 21:30
When we see that Israel has its own relationship with God, and that that relationship is currently in hiatus, do the blessings and cursings connected to the earthly hope apply in this age? We cruise on by the Catholic doctrine of grave (mortal) sins for a moment. And what we should be anxious to obey in this age. Who is Israel? : https://www.spreaker.com/user/michaelscotto/israel-according-to-the-...
S3 Ep27 When You Count the Sons of Abraham, Count Me Out! 03.09.2023 28:39
We expand on the key verses upon which the Reformation was built (despite the Reformed of today not paying much attention to them in any concrete way anymore). We note that they reflect two truths. First, the gift of life has always by faith, since Adam. And Secondly, that the context of Abraham's faith was directed to his line through Isaac and Jacob (Israel) and to the Gentiles blessed through I...
S3 Ep26 Acknowledged and Forgiven Sin (The Gospel Has Never Changed, OT-NT) 01.09.2023 27:32
We take a day trip to Psalm 32 and 33. While we are adamant that ALL scripture is FOR us, not all of it is TO us. Surely, there are wonderful truths on every page of scripture, but when we rightly divide the Word of Truth (2 Tim 2:15) we are able to rejoice with all believers of all ages in the mercy and grace of God as we look forward to different hopes and blessings in the coming resurrection. T...
Bonus: Carolina Bible Group Message - Problems With Modern Theology 30.08.2023 50:55
Message presented to the Musterion PalTalk Group associated with the Carolina Bible Group (https://carolinabiblegroup.com) and Truth For Today (https://www.tftmin.org) ministries. General presentation on the underlying theological assumptions which lead to contradictions and a failure to rightly divide the Word of Truth. We examine the power of tradition and how a movement which once championed th...
S3 Ep24 They Want to Murder Babies 29.08.2023 23:34
The former Press Secretary came out and said that nobdy supports abortion up to birth. Of course, this is a complete lie. Currently, seven states have no restrictions on abortion. At least two state legislatures have proposed even allowing mothers to let their newborns die. Former Virginia Governor, Ralph Northam, proposed making the newborn baby comfortable, and then deciding if you want to starv...
S3 Ep23 The Days are Evil, So We Need to Know What God Wants of Us 24.08.2023 22:05
We dip back into Ephesians 5 and think about Paul's reminder that the days we live in are evil. God calls us to walk in the light despite this fact. But how can we do that and what does that mean we should be doing? Well, for starters, we need to know the things God has given to us in this age. We must rightly divide the Word of Truth. It's one thing to try and obey whatever verse we come across a...
S3 Ep22 Elect Michael Before It's Too Late (PS: It's Too Late) 21.08.2023 39:36
We pause to comment on the state of the nation. Recent events have further exposed the rot within America. I announce my doomed campaign for president and in the unlikely event my candidacy does not catch on, I endorse nobody. Crime, debt, attacks on the Republic, it's all here in abbreviated form. We finish by referring back to a recent message on the fall of the empire, and have no good news to...
S3 Ep21 Children Obeying Their Parents In Different Ages, Plus More Tax Talk! 17.08.2023 29:16
When we look at the three iterations of the commandment for children to obey their parents in the Lord, we notice there is a difference (apart from the punishment attached) to the instructions given to Israel and the instruction given to the Body. We finish with a short discussion of the effects of minimum wage and taxes on an economy. There's a reason McDonald's has order kiosks.
