In this episode we roped our pastor Will Cornell to discuss the three omnis of God: Omnipotence, Omniscience & Omnipresence. This is the final episode in this series related to the attributes of God. Put simply, these three attributes mean that God is all powerful, all knowing and all present. However, these basic ideas have a rich backing of Biblical testimony to help inform their meaning. Join us as we work through the specifics of each omni to arrive at a better understanding of the being of God.

In this episode our aim is to tackle the Holiness and Justice of God. What does it mean that God is holy holy holy? We believe it's impossible to understand God's Justice if we fail to recognize Him as the thrice Holy God. The one informs the other. Join us as we work through the difficult process of defining God's holiness. 

The basic meaning of holy means set apart or unique, but as we meditate on some of the stories in scripture that portray holiness, we see there's much more weight to the idea than what this definition gives off. Justice at its base means equal measures. If God is truly just and holy, it means our sin against him is worthy of eternal judgement. Thankfully, the holy Son bore our punishment, and makes us right with God. The gospel becomes intermingled in God's attributes.

In this episode we address the attributes of love and jealousy. The scriptures state that God is both. Our culture tends to create poor definitions when it comes to describing these characteristics, but what can we derive from the Bible about God in light of His love and jealousy? Join us as we work through these issues biblically.

This week our co-host Nathan lost his voice, so we didn't record any new ep. To make up for the empty show slot we produced a short collage of side conversations that didn't make it into past published shows. Please enjoy the impromptu discussion on mathematics, art and music between Nathan, Owen, Preston and Andrew.

In todays episode we summarize and deal with common objections brought against the reliability of the New Testament. As Christians we should be prepared to give answers to those critiquing the holy scriptures. The transmission of the New Testament is something all Christians should be familiar with, and we hope this episode acts as an introduction to the topic of textual criticism and apologetics.

For a further deep dive into this issue, highly recommend checking out the work of Dr. James White with Alpha & Omega Ministries: https://www.aomin.org/aoblog/. The YouTube video Owen recommended can be found at: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uTeLO-61FAA

This is part 2 in our series covering some of our favorite Christian martyrs. In this episode we're covering the life and legacy of William Tyndale, who was the first man in history to translate the Bible into the English language. Though we admire the martyrs for their uncompromising faith, our hope with this series is to not glorify them, but to bring glory to the Lord Jesus Christ.
