Episode notes
Understanding Limited Atonement
- Saying Jesus died for "all" means his sacrifice is available to everyone but effective only for believers.
- This avoids universalism and aligns with both Reformed and Arminian views on salvation.
Balanced View on Fantasy Genre
- Engage with Christian-friendly fantasy like Tolkien and Lewis thoughtfully and without blanket rejection.
- Avoid overindulgence in fantasy that leads to idleness or desensitization to occult themes.
Navigating Weddings in Other Religions
- Attend interfaith weddings if comfortable, but avoid participating in religious rites that contradict Christian beliefs.
- Witnessing different traditions can be fascinating, but say no to actions that compromise your conscience or faith.
