Palmer St. Podcast: Jesus, the Sinful Woman and the Pharisee

Dan Petersen, in town from Glasgow, Scotland, brings this to us today.  Jesus is not sanctimonious.  He mixes with sinners.  The irony is that  those who view themselves righteous find themselves distant from God.

Middle Knowledge: One Means of Balancing Our Faith and God’s Election

In 2 Thessalonians 2:13 it says that “God from the beginning chose you for salvation through … belief in the truth.”  People often find it difficult to reconcile these two things – God’s choosing us and our believing the truth.  One way proposed out of the dilemma is to consider the various types of knowledge entailed in God’s omniscience.  Middle knowledge in particular seems relevant to this question.  This is a brief attempt to explain it.

Palmer St. Podcast: Truth, Lies and the Man of Sin

Whatever happened to the truth?

  • Naturalism: Science gives us facts; religion is a subjective realm of morality and faith.
  • Post-Modernism: In a post-modern world the very idea of truth is subjective.
  • Religious Pluralism: All religions are equally true, you just need to be sincere.
  • False Teaching within the church: Whose Christianity is the real one?

A spiritual battle for the truth is what we should expect in the last days.
