Bible Conversations

Believers will judge the world—and angels. What does that remarkable promise mean for our future, and how should it change our lives now?

In this episode of Bible Conversations, J. Dan Gill and Sir Anthony Buzzard explore 1 Corinthians 6. They discuss Paul’s response to lawsuits between Christians, the importance of resolving disputes, and his warning about conduct that conflicts with inheriting the Kingdom of God.

The conversation also examines what it means to be washed, sanctified, and justified, why Christian freedom should never become slavery to sin, and how the resurrection gives lasting significance to our bodies.

Paul’s closing reminder brings these themes together: you were bought with a price, so glorify God in your body.

The conversation also explores Paul’s call to live with the “unleavened bread of sincerity and truth,” the difference between observing the letter of Moses’ law and living in the spirit of Messiah’s teaching, and why Jesus Christ is sufficient for our salvation.

Nearly two thousand years after Paul wrote to the believers in Corinth, his words continue to shape Christian faith and understanding. But can we properly understand those words without considering Paul’s Jewish background and belief in one God?

In this episode, J. Dan Gill and Sir Anthony Buzzard introduce 1 Corinthians and explore its historical and theological setting. They discuss the importance of reading Scripture in context, Paul’s identity as a Hebrew and Pharisee, and the biblical distinction between the one God—the Father—and the Lord Jesus Christ, God’s human Messiah.

The conversation also considers how Greek philosophical ideas influenced Christianity after the New Testament period. Did later theological traditions make the identities of God and Jesus more complicated than they were for Jesus, Paul and the earliest believers?

Key passages include 1 Corinthians 8:6, John 17:3, Psalm 110:1 and 1 Timothy 2:5.
