Episode notes
Court Of Heaven Is A Throne Room
- The phrase "court of heaven" in Scripture most often means a royal throne-room, not a judicial courtroom where legal paperwork is filed.
- Ken Fish warns Henderson's teaching confuses throne-room imagery with earthly legal procedure and misreads biblical scenes.
Prayer Recast As Spiritual Legalism
- Robert Henderson presents the courts as a literal juridical system that grants God legal rights to act, requiring humans to file spiritual paperwork.
- Joshua Lewis and Michael Miller argue this flips God's sovereignty and makes prayer a technical, fearful ritual instead of filial relationship.
Pray To Father, Not A Judge
- Follow Jesus' model: address God as Father and pray simply, starting with reverence and intimacy rather than rigid courtroom formulas.
- Ken Fish urges prioritizing the plain teaching of Scripture over speculative ritualized methods.
