Kenosis: The-Great Modern Heresy

About this episode

The episode critiques the doctrine of Kenosis and its implications for modern Christianity.

Kenosis falsely teaches that Christ emptied Himself of divine power and that true Christianity means self-abasement, passivity, and surrender to evil. Over time, it turned humility into victimhood, portraying holiness as nonresistance, poverty, and submission rather than faithful obedience and righteous action. This doctrine has produced a suicidal faith undermining justice, excusing sin, weakening nations, and replacing Christ’s lordship with moral retreat. Biblical Christianity calls believers not to glorify defeat, but to live boldly under Christ the King, choosing life, truth, and faithful dominion rather than sanctified surrender.
