Episode notes
Context Shapes "All" Meaning
- The meaning of "all" depends on biblical and contextual framing, not just the word itself.
- Romans 3:23 uses "all" inclusively of humanity's sin, while Romans 11:26 about "all Israel" is not literal for every individual Israelite.
Imago Dei's Broad Implications
- Imago Dei means every human has inherent dignity regardless of any external condition.
- This doctrine also calls Christians to care for the elderly as much as the young, emphasizing whole life pro-life ethics.
Maintain Critical Learning Rhythm
- Read critically, including books from differing perspectives, to keep your theological views well-pressed.
- Practice selective reading: understand main points and summaries instead of every word, and drop books that aren't beneficial.
