This week Sam, and John, try to keep Ron in the Old Testament as they begin laying the biblical foundation for our understanding of original sin. The guys delve into key questions such as the usage of the term "sin" in the Bible, and how the Bible's depiction of figures such as Cain, Enoch, and Noah relates to the notion that every inclination of the heart is evil all the time. The guys posit why the popular narrative, "Image bourn, image lost, image regained" improperly frames the story, and touch on what the Bible implies about God and his proximity to us in light of our sins.
Key interpretive differences:
Image-bearers vs sin-bearers.
