Episode notes
Why Hebrews Belongs In The Canon
- Hebrews is included because its content aligns with Scripture even if authorship is uncertain.
- Joby says Paul's authorship is plausible but not definitive, and canonical fit matters more than named authorship.
Classify Cultural Practices Three Ways
- Evaluate cultural practices as reject, receive, or redeem for your family and conscience.
- If something tempts sin or demonic worship, reject it; otherwise redeem harmless customs like Halloween for community and teaching.
Engage Culture Without Idolizing It
- Watch sports wisely: engage culture to influence it but avoid what enslaves your conscience.
- Move toward mission inside culture, or abstain personally if commercials or content cause sin.
