Episode notes
Finitude Versus Fallenness Matters
- The distinction between fallenness and finitude helps decide what will exist in new creation.
- Finitude (being limited creatures) likely remains while fallenness (sinful distortions) will be removed.
Differences Will Remain
- Differences in gifts and talents likely persist in new creation because we remain creatures.
- Not everyone will have identical abilities or become omnipotent in eternity.
What 'Perfect' Means Biblically
- 'Perfect' in scripture means being right with God, not omnipotent or omniscient.
- Christians will have restored knowledge and desires but will not become God or know everything.
