#8 – Do You Even Theology, Bro?
Knowing Faith
Exploring Uncertainty and Hope in the Face of Death and Suffering
Exploring the fear of suffering and uncertainty of death while finding reassurance in biblical narratives that promise victory over suffering and death, touching on theological concepts such as Jesus' sacrifice and eternal destiny.
You asked. We answered. Jen Wilkin, JT English, and Kyle Worley talk through listener questions ranging from original sin to death to the Nephilim.
Questions Covered in This Episode:
- If sin was possible pre-fall, what’s stopping the same thing from happening in the new heavens/new earth? Will there be free will in the new heavens/new earth?
- Why did God create Satan? Why would an all knowing God create someone he knew would be the ruler of darkness? How did Satan sin in a sinless heaven?
- Where was the Holy Spirit during the Old Testament? Did the Holy Spirit save in the Old Testament?
- Where did people go when they died before Jesus’ death and resurrection?
- I have this odd fear of death even though I consider myself to be a believer. Am I really saved if I fear the idea of death?
- Why didn’t Jesus have to spend eternity in hell since He took our punishment and he’s our substitute?
- Is doubt a sin? What is truly the best way to work through it?
- Should women hold leadership positions or teach in the church?
- Does the Christian faith fall apart if there is no literal Adam?
- Who were the Nephilim?
- Is Melchizedek an OT appearance of Jesus?
Resources Mentioned in This Episode:
- Isaiah 25:6-8, 1 Corinthians 15:54-57, Revelation 21:4
