“What does it mean to “be saved?” If your definition comes from religion, prepare to be shocked.
In today’s podcast and post we continue our series in Romans examining Paul’s definition of salvation, comparing it to that of evangelicalism. Then I’ll take the time to walk you through the biblical revelation that has been hiding in plain sight.
Join me now as I unwind 2000 years of church history in the hope that all comers can rediscover what salvation is all about.
“What is your reaction when I say: “Everyone has been put right with God.” How does this idea sit with your religion or theology?
Today we continue in our series exploring the book of Romans with Paul’s defense to the religious mind that ALL ARE JUSTIFIED or “put right” with God. Chapters 5 and 6 exist because just like today, Paul’s religious audience follows Plato more than Christ.
Join me now as I provide a metaphor for how Paul’s Gospel is both totally inclusive without being a Universalist, and extremely exclusive without being a fundamentalist.
“If the modern Gospel is an invitation to convert to the Christian religion, then why does Paul spend so much time deconstructing religion? Could it be that religion has misunderstood the Gospel?”
In today’s podcast and post, we continue our series in Paul’s letter to Rome, tracing Paul’s gospel all the way back to Abraham, and how religion misunderstood it.
Join me now as we re-discover that the Gospel has been proclaiming freedom from religion for over four-thousand years.
“Does your religion teach about the wrath of God? What if religion has been teaching it wrong?
In today’s podcast and post, we continue our series in Romans with a look at verses 18-32 of chapter 1. Religion’s big threat is that if a person sins or doesn’t pick the right team, they will face God’s wrath, but Paul says something quite different…
Join me now as Paul frees everyone from the wrong view of wrath, and we learn that wrath is not behavioral, it’s ontological.
“Do you think every translation of the Bible is the same? If so, think again.
In today’s podcast and post I will establish the foundation upon which Paul’s letter will go out to the city of Rome. Just like Paul, I will do my best to bring the religious mind with us, so that all comers can hear the Good News he is so excited about.
Join me now as our Greek exposition unearths a trajectory that fundamentalism will always reject, but is necessary if we are to experience the freedom this letter proclaims.
“How well do you understand the Apostle Paul’s Letter to the Romans? If you are like most people, the answer is; “Not too well.”
In today’s podcast and post we begin a new series examining the book of Romans. While this may seem like a daunting task, laden with layers of theological complexity, that assumption only means we have bought into fundamentalism’s propaganda.
Join me now as we rediscover Romans without two thousand years of Church history spackled on top of it. We’ll learn that this letter was intended to get “everyone” out of religion, not lock us into one.
