Antipas: The Forgotten Martyr in the New Testament

In the New Testament, there are five named martyrs who died because of their testimony to the truth. But you probably only know four of them: John the Baptist is the first. (Matthew 14:1-12) Jesus is the second. (Revelation 1:5) Stephen is the third. (Acts 7:54-60) James, son of Zebedee is the fourth. (Acts 12:1-2) Many of us forget the fifth—Antipas of Pergamum (Rev 2:13)! Yet Jesus himself commends the fifth martyr as one worthy of honour and respect.

And he’s finally become the astronaut that he’s always dreamed that he could be. So his joy is actually our pleasure. His sort of Beatitude we might say is our Felicitas, if we will, if I’m able to use that, so that we can jump back into Boethius with Matthew Hoskin, who has much more capability in this literature than I do.  In this conversation, Wyatt...

Grok And Me on the Ordo Amoris

Paul Carter

There has been a lot of discussion about the Order of Love or Ordo Amoris recently, due to some comments by Vice President J.D. Vance. Biblical Christianity teaches a clear order of loves: 1. God first 2. Family — defined as Jesus defines it, which includes brothers and sisters in Christ 3. Neighbours — defined as the person in need that God puts in your path (See the Good Samaritan) 4. Enemies While Christian love embraces everyone, even the enemy, there is an undeniable and unavoidable ordering, in terms of the practical outworking and application. Christian love is never merely...
