May 04, 2023 S2 Ep1073: What Does the Bible Say about Divorce and Remarriage? Dr. Constantine Campbell
Dr. Constantine Campbell is Professor and Associate Research Director at the Sydney College of Divinity, and previously served as Professor of New Testament studies at Trinity Evangelical Divinity School in Chicago and Moore Theological College in Sydney. His doctorate is in ancient Greek language and linguistics (Macquarie University, 2007). Dr. Campbell is the author of 16 books, included the recently released Jesus v. Evangelicals: A Biblical Critique of a Wayward Movement. In this conversation, we look at the question of divorce; specifically, what are the biblical allowances (if any) for divorce. Constantine takes a more generous view, which argues that the text of Scripture allows for more than just two reasons (adultry and abandonment) for divorce.

April 26, 2023 S2: BONUS Q & A: Pronoun Debate, Focus on the Family, Modesty Conversations, and More
00:00 Introduction
1:31 Your thoughts on Rosaria Butterfield's recent post: https://www.reformation21.org/blog/why-i-no-longer-use-transgender-pronouns-and-why-you-shouldnt-either
16:35 Thoughts on Dr. James Dobson, and Focus on the Family? Specifically around LGBTQ issues or in general.
19:32 What was your biggest takeaway from your interview with Sheila and Rebecca? 32:58 What are your thoughts on there being no Male pronouns for elder qualifications in the Greek in 1Tim3 and Titus 1? Is that accurate to say?
38:34 Is church membership Biblical? Does NT stress membership or fellowship? How can we deny church membership to people who are in Christ? Affirming gay Christian
48:08 17YO is affirming LGBTQ. Should we encourage her to attend affirming church when she is older? She struggles with the conservative church, can't see attending one
55:40 You are privy to a lot of info that you can't make public. Generally speaking, if we knew what you knew, how would this change how we would see things?
1:03:23 Would Paul’s own singleness disqualify him from his own (alleged by some) criteria of eldership based on a “plain text” interpretation of 1 Tim 3:2/Tit 1:6?
1:07:09 Your thoughts on why scripture speaks so much of the adulterous woman - it is always the woman's fault. We never read "Beware of the adulterous man"
1:12:20 You’ve mentioned the idea that someone can live without sex, but not intimacy. Do we focus too much on the family? Good resources on the theology of friendship?
1:14:20 Is God gendered? We always call him Father, but how much of that is our Western lens? Also, is the Holy Spirit gendered?
1:21:38 Some argue that Adam naming Eve implies authority over her. If that is true, what do we do with Hagar giving a name to God?
