Episode notes

In Roman Catholicism, the world more and more loses ethical significance that it has in the scriptures. The Catholic city of the Christian principle is replaced by a dualism which puts the supernatural in a separate position alongside or rather in a transcendent position above the natural. Christianity transcendently supervines upon the natural, but does not penetrate and sanctify it. This is why it's okay to be married, but it's really holy to be a priest. It's okay to go to work and have a normal job, butIt's really holyto be a monk.

In the beginning, God spoke the world into existence. He made man and woman the crown of his creation, image-bearers of the Almighty God. Humans have a special place in God’s created order. But as we know, it didn’t take long for sin to enter the world, corrupting this image and changing our relationship to our Creator. In this episode of White Horse Inn, hosts Michael Horton, Justin Holcomb, Bob Hiller, and Walter Strickland consider our true nature as those created by God and why it’s important for us to understand our origin story.
