In this discussion with Dr. Rik Wadge and Dr. Dinah Dye featured on ‘Foundations in Torah’, I was invited to discuss the methods used by evil doers throughout the ages to induce a target people to enslave and destroy themselves.
In this setting, we draw parallels to lessons of the old and new testaments while evaluating the principles of Christianity that unleashed a paradigm of natural law that the Roman Empire couldn't smother.
A new appraisal of the concept of "imago viva dei" (mankind made in the living image of the Creator) as it expressed itself in the American revolution is also explored.
Another great one, thank you Matt! I’m looking for contributors to The Prophets..please jump in if you have time. https://open.substack.com/pub/sinatana/p/tom-nichols?r=zickz&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web

Speaking of corruption and people "enslaving and destroying themselves", have a look at "pride month" in the Jewish State today: yandex.com/images/search?text=Tel+Aviv+pride+2023
"For Jerusalem is ruined, and Judah is fallen: because their tongue and their doings are against the Lord, to provoke the eyes of his glory. The shew of their countenance doth witness against them; and *they declare their sin as Sodom, they hide it not*. Woe unto their soul! for they have rewarded evil unto themselves." -- Isaiah 3
Note that the legendary Mt. Sodom, now an LGBT tourist attraction, is only about 40km east of the Dimona nuclear complex. Some people never learn. https://www.haaretz.com/israel-news/travel/2014-03-25/ty-article/the-israinbow-trail-the-lgbt-scene/0000017f-f54d-d887-a7ff-fded5a950000
