Episode notes
Jesus' Human Limitations
- Jesus, while all-knowing God, experienced human limitations and may not have known about germs.
- His purpose was spiritual salvation, not promoting physical health or germ knowledge.
Total Depravity and Job's Righteousness
- The "T" in TULIP (total depravity) refers to humans being utterly unable to please God on their own.
- Job was considered righteous in a general sense, not morally perfect, illustrating different uses of 'righteous.'
God and Time Explained
- God is eternal without age; time began with creation, so God existed atemporally before creation.
- The universe has an age, but God transcends time, so they are not equally 'old.'
