Great talk! Really interesting take on the salt! Is it wrong to still think about salt in these ways? (analogies/ ?in something time) On lowkey it's like eisegesis?

"The "upside down kingdom" is a common lens of interpretation many preachers have. Is it valid to say the sermon on the mount is a guide for how Christians should have after putting trust in Jesus?

If Israel was tasked with being Salt and Light to the world, is this now the calling of the Church, as the true Israel? Can it simultaneously be a judgment for Israel and an instruction for us?

What relationship does all this have to v17 - is Jesus the ultimate beatitude-keeper = to the ultimate law-keeper?

Would Jesus have been tempted as a man or as God, since he is both? How would I respond if a friendsays it would ahve been easy for him to overcome temptation as God's son, when I know that isn't true? 

Karl mentioned this at the end of TBT: If the world is enslaved to sin and the devil, who is in control? God or Satan? What are the implications for us who are saved, yet still tempted?

Was it wrong for the OT kings, judges, prophets to "test" God for asking for a sign? But often the OT doesn't portray as wrongful/sinful. Pls help

About testing: Mal. 3:10 talks about God saying to Israel "put me to the test..." IS this just hypothetical or God's command to the Israelites as they turn and repent from their sin/rebellion/adultery? God says he'll bless them and throw open the flood gates of heaven! Hyerbole? Prophecy? A command? Or is it God being boldly confident in how he can bless us?

How can we help ourselves and others talk about our embarrassing and shameful sins - such as lust/pornography?

How can we make this something we can keep checking in with follow Christians on?

In what sense can judgement be a baptism? If baptism reflects an inward change - either repentance or salvation - what change is reflected by a baptism of judgement?

How do we think about the idea of fire being judgement with the fire that comes at Pentecost?

Where is the example of bad unity in the bible that Carl talked about? 

Jesus was also kind, having dinner/meeting with many people (e.g. tax collectors, blind, paralysed, children) - was Jesus' mission only all about divisiveness - or is there some unity in Jesus' mission as well. How do these divisiveness and unity link together in a way that makes sense?
