Welcome to the Plodcast! Listen in to hear Pastor Doug talk about Edenic perfection. Then he plugs James Dolezal’s book, All That is in God. Finishing things off with a look at the Greek word “hamartano”. Happy Plodding!

Show Notes:

Edenic Perfection:

• What do we mean when we think about the garden of Eden being a perfect place
• What did a perfect garden look like and not look like?
• Entropy existed prior to the fall
• But the entropy and death of man was introduced by sin

All that is in God:

• Written by James Dolezal
• This is a defense of the doctrine of divine simplicity
• God is not a composite being, God is a simple being
• Anything that is in God, is God
• We don’t believe that God is Zeus standing on a balcony looking down on us

Hamartano:

• Found in Luke, rendered as sin and trespass
• Luke 15:18, the prodigal son confesses to his father that he has sinned
• Luke 15:21, Jesus says that if a brother trespasses against us we should forgive him upon repentance, even if he does it 7 times in one day
• Hamartia is found 7 times in Luke
• (Luke 1:77, 3:3, 5:20/21/23/24, 7:47/48/49, 11:4, 24:27)
