Episode notes
God's Condescension
- God reveals himself to humanity through human words, demonstrating his goodness and love.
- This divine condescension mirrors Jesus' incarnation, becoming like us to communicate with us.
Venerating Scripture
- Fr. Mike Schmitz describes his practice of kissing his Bible as a sign of veneration for God's word.
- He recounts witnessing an Eastern Catholic priest process with a Bible, blessing people, similar to a Eucharistic procession.
Dual Authorship of Scripture
- Both God and the human authors are considered true authors of scripture; God inspired the human authors without overriding their free will.
- This allows different books to have unique styles reflecting the individual authors while still conveying God's truth.
