Buckle up your theological seatbelts for what promises to be the wildest salvation doctrine rollercoaster ride of your life on this whiplash-inducing episode of Nate Cunningham’s ever hair-raising ‘Ask a Christian’ podcast extravaganza! From circumcision-demanding Judaizers attacking gospel grace to pious churchgoers puffing cigarettes behind the altar after services to ruthless scripture-slinging face-offs between the Apostle Paul and Sister Steph on scandalous sexism allegations to assessing whether God Almighty indeed possesses an eternal sense of humor beyond dad-joke rib-ticklers...this non-stop thrill ride through Christendom’s most perplexing puzzles will leave your brain oozing from all orifices! Not wincing yet? Read on...
We kick things off by rewinding 2000 years to that chaotic early church council where Paul confronted traditionalists insisting new Gentile believers adhere to every last Mosaic law and Levitical ritual to qualify as acceptable disciples – ouch! Is trusting in Christ’s atoning sacrifice alone truly sufficient for salvation without scores of circumsizing and Sabbath-keeping too? Peter pops in with a reconciling parable involving kosher cuisine! Face it Grace + Law lads...you’ve been served!
Quickly transitioning topics to modern application, Nate bravely asks whether enjoying tobacco products recreationally necessarily violates core Christian values of temperance and bodily stewardship. Might the liberty of moderation be perverted into license through addiction and habit? Or can the occasional cigar sanctimoniously puffed in reflection on God’s goodness be reasonably tolerated?? Let the holy smoke rise among ye!
Enter podcast firebrand Stephanie, armed to the teeth with pointed Pauline gender pronouncements forbidding female teaching authority over assembled brethren and demanding silent submission instead. She’s a woman on a mission to douses these ostensibly misogynistic sparks with buckets of modern context and exegetical extinguishers! Nate wisely dons full body flame retardant armor before prodding this egalitarian explosive!
Finally comes the question of whether deity itself contains capacity for mirth and laughter alongside supreme solemnity! What Bible clues intimate a God playfully delighting in ironies, puns, and amusing mortal foibles amidst divine gravitas? Does creating humor require capacity to appreciate it??
This rollercoaster clearly still has some ride left, but we best conclude lest brains start exiting bodies! Just remember to grab Nate’s book ‘Ask a Christian’ now on Amazon and snag some swag at their online shop to bless the show! Now if you’ll excuse me, I’m late for my standing date with an Alka-Seltzer and comfy fainting couch...😵💫 Someone say a prayer! #christianpodcast #theopedicures #churchhistory #biblestudy #newtestament #paulineepistles #lawversusgrace #justificationbyfaith #christianfreedom #smoking #tempterance #christianethics #menandwomen #sexuality #genderroles #egalitarian #complementarian #godshumor #theology #bible
