Masochism and Antinomianism

• Jul, 22 2025

What if the church’s deepest crisis isn’t cultural decay—but a ghost from the ancient world still whispering in our theology? In this episode, we expose how early thinkers like Origen and Gregory of Nyssa smuggled Greek dualism into the church, replacing the plain authority of God’s Word with hidden meanings and abstract “principles.” From Origen’s self-castration to modern sermons about tabernacle curtain colors, we trace how spiritualized religion paved the way for today’s antinomianism, feminism, and experience-driven faith. Are we still trying to decode the Bible—when God calls us to obey it?
