  • Ep. 36 | Some Very Basic Elements of Hebrew Poetry

    This semester for school, we're reading "Invitation to the Psalms" by Ralph A. Jacobson and Karl N. Jacobson. This week's reading was about (Hebrew) parallelism and some other basic elements of Hebrew poetry.

  • Ep. 35 | What happens when Hesiod meets Jesus?

    Here's are some of my thoughts on the prologue (if you can call it that) to Hesiod's Theogony. To what extent is Hesiod talking about Jesus Christ? What is the role of truth in Christian salvation? What is the relationship between dancing and singing? This prologue is very tightly packed when reading it as a Christian. I barely scratched the surface.

  • Ep. 34 | Unorganized Thoughts on Genesis 1-11

    I was assigned to read Genesis chapters 1-11 for school last week. Here are some chaotic thoughts about that passage. I try to get to maybe one of the themes involved there, but I don't know if I did.

  • Ep. 33 | What happens when Truth and Justice have a Brawl?
    Notes from "Cosette" in Victor Hugo's Les Misérables. This is the second part of Les Miserables. Aside from other things, I talk about truth, types of worlds, the nature of justice, the nature of being, the ways in which evil and good connect, and more. This book is fascinating. I'm trying to sort out a lot of things here and am thinking out loud. Welcome aboard.

  • Ep. 32 | Can you have Ethics without God?

    I look at an article/essay from atheists.org to assess the claims that you can have morality without a God or gods. This is where the rub is. You can tear down the temple, but can you build it back in three days?

  • Ep. 30 | I get Accused of Being "Liberal" and the Problem of Right Wing Authoritarianism

    In this video, I look at an interaction I had on social media recently and what such a thing means in the broader culture. We are all being led astray as sheep.

  • Ep. 29 | Hashing out my soteriological position post Pallmann Conversation

    In this video, I explain why I am neither Arminian nor Calvinist and what I think the issue between the two is. I also talk about why I think the two positions will never be sufficient to explain God.

  • Ep. 28 | What is Arminianism and Does it Hold a Candle to Calvinism?
    This is my conversation on Calvinism and Arminianism with David Pallmann. It's been almost a whole year since I have deeply engaged with these topics, so I am quite rusty (as can be seen from the video). David and I go through the five points on Calvinism and what a Classical Arminian perspective of them is. David also takes the time to respond and give his take on several "Calvinistic" passages.   
    Since this was our first lengthy interaction with each other in engaging these topics, it seemed to me that there was some feeling out of the other's position (or, at least, that was the case for me). The real rub of the issue seems to be: Do we do any actions in order to be saved; and what do we mean by actions? Both David's Classical Arminianism and a traditional Calvinistic perspective say we do no "works" to be saved.  
    I personally feel that this is a harder sell for the Arminian, although it is easier to keep free will with such a position. With any luck, David and I will be able to have another conversation where David tries to lay out why an Arminianism truly is not saying that free will in salvation involves "works" on the part of humanity.  Here is David's Channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC8sTncrKOJtT3J4TEwg7fag
