#111 – Mailbag #4

A potpourri of our own ideas and perspectives on a variety of comments/questions sent in by our listeners.

It’s been months since we looked through the boxes full of comments and questions that our listeners have sent to us through our web-sites, Facebook, emails, and podcast providers. Last week, we abstracted from our short list of favorite picks all the comments/questions that pertained to our 4-part Left Behind mini-series. Today, we look at the ones that were “left behind” after that abstracting!?

So, which comments/questions did we cover?

• the idea of a so-called “Biblical lens” … or “Jesus lens”
• any lens can actually distort the thing you’re looking at
• are religions other than Judaism and Christianity also divinely-inspired?
• the Incan god Viracocca sounds an awful like like Ezekiel’s and Isaiah’s YHWH, as well as like John’s Ancient of Days in Revelation
• does the Bible talk about YHWH/God talking to non-Jews?
• the Babylonian Emperor Cyrus was God’s Messiah?
• how small the world of Western Evangelical thought is
• what we can learn from Roman Catholic and Eastern Orthodox Christians
• inter-faith learning and ecumenism
• Christianity gets some things right, and other things wrong?
• if you (Luke or Scott) decided to leave your faith, how would your life change?

As always, tell us your thoughts on these points …
