Episode notes
Let Scripture, Not Feeling, Decide Doctrine
- Do evaluate theological claims by Scripture over personal feelings or cultural intuition.
- Avoid letting your private understanding override clear biblical statements, because that path leads to drift, Josh Howerton warns.
Don't Hop Into Your Child's Pit
- Josh recounts a common parental dynamic where parents 'hop into the pit' with deconstructing kids, leaving no one to pull them out.
- He warns parents to remain on 'team Jesus' rather than mirroring a child's departure to preserve truth and rescue capacity.
Punishment Measured Against God, Not Sin's Duration
- The Bible judges sin by the infinite nature of God rather than the finite measure of human acts.
- Therefore eternal punishment is just because sin is committed against an eternal, perfect God, Josh argues.
