Dear Fellow Believers,
This is the funniest ZenderTalk episode you'll ever hear. I had heard of this Indian mystic named "The Rolling Baba," who had become famous by rolling (yes, rolling; like a log) thousands of miles across India while blessing people with peacock feathers or some such thing. You couldn't hear anything more outrageous. You had to
wonder if it was actually true, but yes, it was. (Rodney even located video footage; you gotta see this.) Since this guy was clearly a religious nut, I decided to compare him to western religious nuts, which would be Christians believing in eternal torment. Compared to Christians believing in eternal torment, the Rolling Baba is sane.
After three episodes of the Rolling Baba, here comes some more great teaching, this time disguised as humor. I was asked to attend a
small Bible study in Cleveland, Ohio, where there would be a new guy who was a big-time free-will advocate. It was a long drive and I didn't want to go, but I was imposed upon by the hostess to the point that I finally considered it my duty. In the retelling of the account, I refer to myself as Batman, and to the new guy at the study as the Penguin. Where else but ZenderTalk can you learn about the absolute and the relative perspectives while being so entertained? This was the beginning of what
I now call, "The 99.9999% Syndrome." It is one of the best exposures of the Free Will doctrine you'll ever hear.
Thank you to all who watch and comment upon these videos. And thank you to all who have contributed and continue to contribute to this work financially, to help keep it going. Because this is the ONLY thing that keeps it going. You know who you are, and I do, too. So thank you from the bottom of my heart, from the bottom of the Floridan
peninsula.
Your brother in Christ and servant in the Lord, with much thanksgiving,
