How is this different from post Pentecost Holy Spirit. 29:35 Should I watch violent movies like LOTR if I’m convinced of nonviolence? 33:17 Could it be that Genesis 1's 7 days are not days of creation but correspond to the 7 days Moses was on Sinai (Exod 24:15-18)? 35:36 Is there any substance to the idea that heaven/the new earth will exist "outside of time"? 38:43 What are your thoughts on pop-psychology as opposed to the biblical soul care model within the church? Can both exist together? 44:02 Thoughts on Church of Christ? I grew up COC. Sometimes you and Francis Chan seem headed in that direction :blush:e.g. communion, no paid church staff, NV, etc. 46:31 Why do we limit the upside-down, first-are-last Kingdom ethics to Jesus? 50:18 If you started another micro church today, what would you differently than last time? 53:21 Was "the great commission" intended to be a command for all believers? Or was it a specific exhortation to those disciples at the time? 55:54 What do you think about 4th point in https://christiansforsocialaction.org/resource/im-going-crazy ? 58:25 How to answer my daughter who’s afraid she won't remain in God because she has seen close relatives turn their backs on God after living vibrant spiritual lives 1:01:11 My sibs are now Progressive Christians and it's one of the biggest disappointments of my life. I struggle with mere conversation, much more, raising my kids around them. Advice? 1:04:28 What would be the one thing you find most attractive and most objectionable about some of the major Christian denominations/traditions you haven't been part of? 1:07:22 I'd love to hear your take on if the Bible claims inerrancy or not. Pete Enns and Jarad Bias have some solid arguments for the "Error of Inerrancy" - thoughts? 1:11:25 Was Jesus tempted with same-sex attraction? HEB 4:15 1:13:36 You said in the 2022 review you would likely welcome guests with “heretical” views. Would it be fair to say a guest’s earnestness is a larger factor for you? 1:15:24 What do you find to be the most compelling/winsome Biblical and extra-Biblical arguments for Christian nationalism? 1:19:42 What does covenentalism (New Perspective on Paul) say about once saved always saved? Are there any examples of a member of God's covenant people (OT Jew) leaving/being kicked out? 1:21:38 Resources you recommend for someone wanting to grow in their understanding of church doctrines, spiritual formation, basic Christian beliefs & church history? 1:23:06 Why would God create a clitoris—the only organ who only serves one purpose: pleasure? Especially if it’s rarely stimulated with intercourse? 1:25:37 In what ways do the biblical passages on gendered marital roles apply to roles in the church? I.e. could you be complementarian in one but egalitarian in the other? If you would like to support Theology in the Raw, please visit patreon.com/theologyintheraw for more information!
