Part two of our conversation, and it turns out there's almost nothing that Jim can't talk about for hours on end, and it's a fascinating ride. We start with "what's going to be happening at the church?" and end up at "is there a true limit on the universe?" in very short order.

Anthony tries out a new word: “imputed,” in order to talk about imputed righteousness versus imparted righteousness. What does that mean? Anthony has some examples, but he needs a jacket, some duct tape, and to drag Spencer onto the stage to do it.
