The Trinity – Episode #31

In This Episode...

We return from our little hiatus. We are busy realigning our schedules so we can get back to bringing you edifying content every week. We come back talking about the Trinity.

Segment 1

Why did we being the episode with the Athanasian Creed instead of Scripture?

Early on, the Trinity was important. Christians are fiercely monotheistic, but we worship The Father, The Son, and The Spirit.

The word Trinity is not in the Bible and Tertullian is credited as being the first to use the latin word trinity.

These episodes are born of John C. reading while on vacation where he came up with questions for us to talk about on the podcast.

Segment 2

Why is the Trinity important?

This is how God has revealed himself in Scripture.

Also, other doctrines rest on the Trinity.

In discussion of the Three Persons of the Trinity, John uses a big word, Perichoresis.

We come up with a good working definition of the Trinity using Systematic Theology by Louis Berkhoff.

Segment 3

We begin looking at how we logically come to the doctrine of the Trinity. Did it being in the New Testament or the Old?

A number of Scripture is read to come to the conclusion that the Father is God, Jesus is God, and the Spirit is God.

We move on to distinguishing all Three Persons from Each Other.

Jesus, Man – Episode #27

In This Episode...

In the next two weeks we talk about the two natures of Jesus. This week, we focus on Jesus's humanity. Today, Mormonism is the fastest growing “Christian” religion in the world. We’ve been visited by Jehovah’s Witnesses. They both speak of Jesus. What makes our Jesus different? Does it matter? Important questions we felt needed answering.

01:04 – Segment 1

We start the discussion by talking about how Jesus is the most popular Sunday school answer.

Why is it important to talk about Jesus Himself?

John C. has been shunned by members of his family as they are Mormon.

The wrong Jesus can’t save anybody, therefore, this is an important topic.

Jesus has two natures, so we’ll discuss them in two episodes.

We give an overview of the next two weeks including a definition of nature.

How do you pronounce Chalcedonian?

The branches have a brief discussion on a history lesson about the early church and coming up with a formulation and battling heresy.

The ditches that can occur with this topic land you in heresy.

09:37 – Segment 2

We go through the various characteristics of Jesus’ human nature.

Jesus is truly God and truly Man in one Person.

The glorified state of Jesus' body is discussed.

We feel sorry for James, the brother of Jesus.

A relevant discussion on Nestorianism and other early church heresies is had.

23:46 – Segment 3

There is a further discussion on heresy and why it logically doesn’t make sense to separate Jesus’ natures.

We continue to discuss the different attributes of the humanity of Jesus.

Next, we ask, did Jesus have a soul?

All of this is fine, but we finally get into the why. So, why does Jesus need to be truly Man?

It brings great rest that Jesus understands what we go through, and we have all the tools that Jesus used to not sin.

Purity Part 2 – Episode #26

In This Episode...

The branches continue their discussion from last week. They talk about purity, how it is not legalism, and the heart. The section on resources provides an in depth review on how to use them effectively.

00:50 – Segment 1

Satan deceives us by asking did God really say.

Does fast forwarding through the bad parts of shows really work?

It comes down to an issue of the heart.

Phil Moser and his books on Biblical Strategies use the lie, the truth, and the promise. The lie is I can watch and not be affected or I can just fast forward.

John J. demeans Christian entertainment.

The branches discuss legalism and how to avoid that in the quest for purity. John J. mentions a podcast that talks about this topic frequently, Theocast

It comes down to a matter of conscience.

James asks “What is it about this show that is satisfying?” in order to get to the heart issue.

This leads to Root sins vs. fruit sins.

We talk about the heart in our conversation with Dr. and Mrs. Tedd Tripp which you can find here.

14:33 – Segment 2

Okay, so can we enjoy worldly entertainment?

James has another diagnostic question with how much time do you spend in the Word.

With this, James sends out a challenge. Email him!

We talk about nuts and bolts and mention a number of resources

Prayer is a powerful resource.

The Idol Babbler gave us a resource by suggesting if we are looking with lust, start to pray for that person.

Sexual sin is something everyone deals with.

Accountability is an important resource, but trust needs to be there

The solution is the gospel.
