The Glory-Cloud Podcast

  We continue our journey through Kingdom Prologue this week.  First, we discuss the common curse.  Life is hard, and then we die.  Next, we talk about the covenant between the Father and the Son.  It is different than the covenant between the Father and Adam.  It is also different than the covenant of grace found in Genesis 3:15. Finally we focus on how Christ accomplished our redemption.   Show Notes:   Give us a 5-star rating on iTunes!  (Click “View in iTunes” and “Ratings and Reviews”) Kingdom Prologue by Meredith G.

Chris and Lee are back this week!  First, we talk about God storming into the garden as the Spirit of The Day.  Next, we talk about the way God interrogates Adam and Eve.  Then we talk about God’s curse upon the serpent.  But the best part is the discussion of the first announcement of the gospel in Genesis 3:15.   Show Notes:   Give us a 5-star rating on iTunes!  (Click “View in iTunes” and “Ratings and Reviews”) Kingdom Prologue by Meredith G.

In this episode, Lee and Chris discuss the temptation and fall of Adam and Eve.  First, we begin by looking at the serpent and the devil’s use of that other creature.  Next, we look at the sins of omission of both Adam and Eve.  Finally, we appreciate Kline’s view that Eve converted to the new satanic religion, and became the first missionary of that new religion. But take heart: this episode ends with the gospel!   Show Notes:   Give us a 5-star rating on iTunes!  (Click “View in iTunes” and “Ratings and Reviews”) Kingdom Prologueby Meredith G.

The podcast dives into theological MMA with discussions on objections to merit, simple justice, and the covenant of works. Arguments are strong but challenged, involving the definition of grace. Topics include redefining merit, monocovenantalism, and covenant theology under attack. Explore the contrast between grace and works in Pauline literature and reflections on Christ's sacrifice. Delve into grace, merit, and God's goodness, along with the law-gospel contrast in Reformed theology.

Explore the crucial relationship between law, gospel, works, and grace in this episode. Learn about Meredith Kline's teachings and the influence of the works principle on understanding the gospel. Delve into the distinction between law and gospel, works and grace, and the concept of earning heaven through covenants. Discover the contrast between works and grace principles in covenant theology and the importance of Christ's obedience for believers' righteousness.

This week Lee and Chris discuss the other side of the eschatological sanctions: the curse sanction.  We also discuss judgment and what it means to know good and evil.  This subject can get very heavy – even depressing – but we make sure to bring it back to the gospel.  The good news is that we do not bear the curse or the final judgment because Jesus has borne the curse for us!

This is one of our most interesting conversations, yet.  First, we pick back up with why glorification is necessary.  Next, we talk about technology and culture.  Finally, we talk about the glorification God would have clothed upon Adam and Eve’s mega-family if they had not fallen into sin.
