Welcome to the Plodcast! Listen in to hear Pastor Doug talk about Edenic perfection. Then he plugs James Dolezal’s book,All That is in God. Finishing things off with a look at the Greek word “hamartano”. Happy Plodding!
Show Notes:
Edenic Perfection:
What do we mean when we think about the garden of Eden being a perfect place
What did a perfect garden look like and not look like?
Entropy existed prior to the fall
But the entropy and death of man was introduced by sin
All that is in God:
Written by James Dolezal
This is a defense of the doctrine of divine simplicity
God is not a composite being, God is a simple being
Anything that is in God, is God
We don’t believe that God is Zeus standing on a balcony looking down on us
Hamartano:
Found in Luke, rendered as sin and trespass
Luke 15:18, the prodigal son confesses to his father that he has sinned
Luke 15:21, Jesus says that if a brother trespasses against us we should forgive him upon repentance, even if he does it 7 times in one day
