Dr. Paul’s Worldviews

Dr. Paul spends an hour briefly talking about the New Testament book of Hebrews in light of the question of why some people love the Bible, while others hate it. What is in the Book of Hebrews, especially when it talks about revealing God in the person of Jesus? Also, is the Bible even relevant today or is it just another piece of archaic literature? Hebrews answer that question. Finally, what does the Book of Hebrews tells us about Jesus’ eternality? Has he ever essentially changed, as a person, even though he took on a human constitution? Or is he essentially the same, and why does that even matter in a day-and-age where so many naysayers argue that he never existed at all? Tune in and find out.

The Apostle Paul’s final letters, otherwise known as the Pastoral Epistles, become the objects of Dr. Paul’s continuing survey of what is in the Bible that causes some people to love and others to hate it.

Dr. Paul surveys, briefly, the contents of the Apostle Paul’s letters to the Philippians, Ephesians, and Thessalonians to find a possible answer the question of why some people love them and others to hate them.

Dr. Paul continues his survey of the Bible, particularly the Apostle Paul’s letters to the Galatians and Ephesians. He looks at the legalistic challenges the Galatian believers faced, as well as the important of grace that the Ephesians were seemingly neglecting. Then Dr. Paul wrestles with how the law (or works), God’s ”unmerited favor,” and autonomy are such stumbling blocks for both believers and unbelievers, and they oftentimes misinterpret what God has revealed in their quests to love or hate God.

Continuing his series on the love/hate reaction some people have toward the Bible, Dr. Paul looks at his letters to the Romans, Corinthians, and Galatians. While trying to interact with listeners to the LIVE version of the podcast, Dr. Paul points out that there is no such thing as an atheist, based on what the Apostle Paul wrote in Romans 1:19. From there, Dr. Paul deals with the problem of ”sin within” ALL persons, but especially Christians, and why recognizing it for what it is can help those same persons overcome repeating them. From there Dr. Paul addresses the morally struggling church at Corinth and why unregenerate (”natural” people cannot understand the things of God (1 Cor 2:14) and why it is absolutely imperative that the Christians ”destroy” the arguments and religious edifices that the unregenerate erect against God and Christ (2 Cor 10:4-6). Finally, Dr. Paul deals with the dire consequences of accepting or preaching a false gospel (Gal 1:8).

Dr. Paul continues his series dealing with the contents of the Bible, in a survey type way, to answer the question of why some people love it, while others hate it. In this podcast, he looks at the Gospels and Acts of the Apostles. Specifically, he defines what the Gospel is and why it is ”good news.” Also, he discusses the abuse of Matthew 7:1 (”Judge not that ye be not judged”), the reality of eternal hell (Lk 16:19-31), and the deity of Jesus found in John 1:1-3, 14. Dr. Paul then looks, briefly, at the Book of Acts and addresses the exclusivity of Jesus’ name (Acts 4:12), the abrogation of the Old Testament dietary laws and the Apostle Peter’s vision (Acts 10:14), and finally the importance of Scriptural authority and the Bereans in Acts 17:11.

In Part 3 of this series on the love/hate relationship some people have with the Bible, Dr. Paul takes us through the rest of the Old Testament from the nation of Israel’s entrance into the Promised Land to the minor prophets. Along the way he stops to point out what are irritants to the autonomous and blessings to those who willing to obey God. Also, he draws the comparisons of Israel’s rebellious history to what is currently happening today, as God’s people, especially in the United States, are living in abject rebellion against God, whereby God is now rewarding them with the fruits of their rebellious labor.

Dr. Paul continues his survey of the Bible’s contents by looking at the devastating effects of sin that led to the building of Noah’s Ark and the eventual establishment of God’s covenant with Noah and the resulting rainbow sign. Then Dr. P discusses the Tower of Babel, the call of Abraham and his precedent-setting faith. Also, a story that many non-believers, secularists, and sexual perverts hate, Sodom and Gomorrah, is discussed, and how it provides an example of what happens when people turn their backs on God. Finally, Dr. P looks at the Ten Commandments and how they are still relevant today for both believers and non-believers.

Very few people have ever actually read the Bible from cover-to-cover with a fair amount of comprehension. Those who have absolutely love its contents. Those who have not tend to despise it, simply because they either think it is a fanciful fairy tale or that it is totally irrelevant, and no one is going to tell them what to do. But, what exactly is in the Bible that causes people to think either way? Dr. Paul begins to look at the Bible’s contents, starting in the Book of Genesis, to find an answer.

Opinions are like noses. Everyone has one and they all smell. In fact, it is because too many baseless or faulty standards of truth are being followed that so many are being led astray by ill-conceived opinions—about everything! Dr. Paul takes a look at four foundations of truth, one of which is the only objective standard by which to lead a life that is both personally satisfying and God-honoring.
