Talks with Dad Rod
Ted asks about what is true about what the Lord’s Supper is and what it does. Rod talks about when Luther went to Marburg to debate with Zwingly, how he made the case for what the Lord’s Supper actually is, what the first Christians considered it to be, the historical discussion about it, and what spiritual benefits it sounds like sinners receive from it.

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

What does it mean to say that for Paul justification by faith was a weapon with which to contend?
Talks with Dad Rod
Ted asks about what Paul meant when he spoke about justification by faith, reading a quote from author F.F. Bruce. Rod talks about how we see in the writings of Paul that Jesus’ words divide, Jesus’ connection to the Old Testament, what was expected of the Messiah when He arrived, and the contrast between Who Jesus is and His claims and actions versus all the other religions of the world.

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.

Talks with Dad Rod
Ted asks about C.S. Lewis’ rhetorical comment in one of his letters, in which he mentions dogs and arithmetic. Rod talks about critical thinking, what Lewis faced when he made claims with his mentor, William Kirkpatrick, and the difference between making simple assertions versus making an evidence based argument for a position, such as with Christian apologetics.

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.
