Ted asks about what Good News gems can be found in this particular Advent hymn, and also what Jesus’ name means.

Ted asks about what Paul meant when he spoke about justification by faith, reading a quote from author F.F. Bruce.

How could Paul be blameless as to the law when through the law comes the knowledge of sin?
Talks with Dad Rod
Ted asks about how Paul describes himself in Philippians vs what we learn in Romans that the law does with sinners. Rod talks about Paul’s (when Saul) ‘flawless’ striving toward works of the law, that the law is correct to condemn what sinners are, think, and do, and that works cannot and do not save, what (Who) saves, and where faith is directed.

When Jesus acts like we’re bad at figuring out who’s saved and who’s not, should we believe Him?
Talks with Dad Rod
Ted asks about how well we are able to figure out the status of someone’s faith, reading from Matthew 13:24-29. Rod talks about Jesus’ efforts to first include people, rather than exclude, and who Jesus brings His ‘invite’ to, how badly the church has counseled on the subject, and whose job the whole concern actually is.
