Episode notes
Sacrifices Teach Human Frailty
- The sacrificial system both repairs relationship and reminds Israel of persistent human sinfulness.
- Hebrews argues annual offerings show sacrifices treat effects of sin, not its source, prompting continual need for cleansing.
Healing vs. Contagious Holiness
- Jesus transmits healing and life but it's unclear to equate that with 'contagious holiness' or divine life identity.
- Hosts caution against assuming holiness equals divine life without further justification.
Apply Laws By Intended Audience
- Evaluate obedience to Torah by who the law addresses rather than assuming universal obligation.
- Gentile believers are bound only by commandments that legally obligate foreigners, not every Israelite law.
