Episode notes
Lutheran Justification Timeline
- Lutheran theology sees justification as a non-chronological process involving God's work through law and gospel repeatedly.
- The Holy Spirit works faith and repentance through these means throughout life.
Catholic View on Genesis Creation
- Roman Catholicism does not hold sola scriptura and relies on church authority for biblical interpretation.
- This leads to a more symbolic view of Genesis creation days compared to the LCMS literal interpretation.
When Lying Isn't Sinful
- Pastor Wolfmueller shared examples where lying is not sinful, like the Hebrew midwives protecting babies by deceiving Pharaoh.
- Conflicting commandments can require breaking one to obey the other, such as lying to save life over the commandment against lying.
