Episode notes
Holy Spirit as Divine Interpreter
- The Holy Spirit acts as a divine interpreter of God's Word to help our limited minds understand it fully.
- Jesus promised the Spirit would teach and remind disciples of all He taught, ensuring the divine message unfolds properly.
Doctrine Develops Like a Living Thing
- Doctrine develops as ideas are mulling, mused over, and passed between minds across time and space.
- This unfolding is necessary for ideas to remain true and become more fully themselves, not to change into something else.
Change is Essential for Life and Truth
- Living things must change to remain the same; change is evidence of life and authenticity.
- Perfection means frequent positive change, as affirmed by Newman and illustrated by the necessity of repainting a fence.
