Prepare your brains and brace your doctrines for perhaps the most infinitely dense and dizzyingly detailed episode to date of Nate Cunningham’s ever-illuminating ‘Ask a Christian’ podcast! Today’s ultra-packed program features such a heavy tray of theological topics to ingest that it may take divine intervention just to digest it all without entering spiritual hibernation! Can we accomplish such a feat? First a snack-sized preview of the massive menu to come featuring finely aged arguments between time-tested traditions, free will foreach human, divine predestination for the chosen elect, the eternal dance between Christ's human and divine natures, and legislation enabling easy earthly escape from providentially permitted pain and despair through intentional termination of God's good gift of life! Too tantalizing? Read on!
We begin our magnificent marathon by putting longstanding church titans John Calvin and Bishops of Rome into a Sumo-sized wrestling ring to grapple over competing salvation theologies. Is faith itself a divine gift to the predestined, or can the lost still choose to claim Heaven’s lifeboat freely offered to all? Verses fly furiously like feathered quills between Martin Luther and the Vengeful Virgin Mary! Predestination versus decision - which doctrine dominates into eternity??
Quick transition from a sovereign Reformed view of election to God’s supreme omniscience raises urgent questions around human free will and culpability. If the Divine knows and determines all from beginning to end already, how can man make willing choices for which he can be held responsible? Welcome to knotty compatibilism discussions - please leave certainty at the door!
Switching theological lanes, we trade Calvin for Christology by inspecting Trinitarian subtleties like Jesus’s dual nature and whether divine attributes were abandoned to take human form or somehow coexisted in hypostatic union through kenosis. Early church creeds enter the chat arguing Christ both fully God and fully man simultaneously! Scholastic philosophizing makes us hungry for something lighter...
Alas no respite yet! Our final discourse dives solemnly into reaction to laws allowing euthanasia and medically assisted termination procedures for mentally sound patients envisioning no purpose in further prolonging their earthly lives. Though aiming to afford dignity in death, do these violate sanctity of life principles God enshrined?
Phew! Have we satisfied your daily recommended allowance of systematic theology yet?? We're just scratching the surface of everything packed into this super-sized smorgasbord of catechetical nourishment! If your appetite remains, be sure to also check out Nate's book ‘Ask a Christian’ now on Amazon and help the show continue by grabbing some swag from our online shop! Bon appétit fellow theology foodies! #christianpodcast #biblestudy #apologetics #churchhistory #catholicvprotestant #tulipcalvinism #reformedtheology #arminianism #philosophy #compatibility #freewill #predestination #election #doctrinesofgrace #christology #hypostaticunion #kenosis #jesusishuman #jesusisgod #discipleship #prolife #euthanasia #suffering #perseverance #askachristian
