We've been doing weekly Q/A on the Bridges of Meaning Discord server. Next week we're going to be trying a new format. We start by talking about that. You'll hear how that goes. 0:00 Randomized Randos format 13:00 would love to know if eschatology is something that you ever think about - as a believer or theologically? 20:00 Martyrdom 33:25 Any thoughts on the value of rest in Christianity? Taking a break, kicking back with a nice beer... It's easily viewed as a waste of time, but it seems to be an essential activity. 48:20 Messianic Age? Already not/yet too fudgy, Did Jesus kick it off? 1:02:00 To what extent does faith in the concrete details of the gospel accounts of Jesus' life, death, and resurrection play a critical role in one's salvation? 1:13:30 I wonder does the notion of death acquitting sinners from their sins mean they would have nothing to answer for if the judgement happened right after their death? 1:18:45 Two questions. First, what are your thoughts on new age beliefs/religions (crystal healing, occult practices, sage, witchcraft etc), are they comparable with Christianity? Second, (perhaps I shouldn't ask because it's politically incorrect?), why women, in general, are attracted to these types of beliefs and practices? Thank you for your time! 1:31:00 I had a thought I'd like you to critique: we are each possessed by some idea/feeling/thought at any given time. Possession becomes problematic when it inherently prohibits us from breaking free and choosing a new master. Even Christianity itself seems to have built into it the freedom to turn one's back on God, thereby choosing a new possessor. To me, perhaps paradoxically, this helps keep me from shrugging off Christianity any time I hit a bump in the road. Does this, in your opinion/frame, cheapen/water-down Christianity? I'm worried that it's indicative of an incomplete view of God's sovereignty, but then again I suppose an earthly father is no less a father just because his child rebels. 1:36:30 book recommendations? 1:39:00 the transcendental argument. What is it that allows me to make an intelligible thought? 1:43:30 Bible reading 1:50:00 IDW is over. 1:54:50 How should someone approach a new priest or a new preacher?
