Episode notes
Reconciliation in Heaven
- In Colossians 1:20, "things in heaven" likely refers to a hyperbole emphasizing the all-encompassing reconciliation through Jesus.
- It doesn't necessarily refer to specific beings or entities in heaven needing reconciliation.
Biblical Numerology
- Biblical numerology can add emphasis or insight, but it doesn't change the text's core meaning.
- Focus on words and their relationships for interpretation, not mystical interpretations of numbers.
Discussing Abortion
- When discussing abortion, establish the unborn's humanity through a series of common-sense questions, not assertions.
- Ask about its life, growth, DNA, and relation to the mother to guide the conversation logically.
