Listeners sent us 49 pages of questions and comments—and in this bonus episode, we tackle some of the best. We explore whether Paul’s theology rewrote the faith, how James and Paul define “salvation” differently, and why First Timothy might not even be Pauline. We also dive into whether Jesus really talked about hell more than heaven, what “saved through childbearing” could mean, and why Acts and Galatians paint two conflicting timelines of Paul’s journey.
Other highlights include:
Did Paul influence the Gospels?
Why doesn’t Paul quote Jesus?
Is Acts trying to legitimize Paul?
What even is Gehenna, and should we rethink hell?
Where do Nate and Shelby land with their own faith?
Plus, an honest conversation about community, politics, LGBTQ+ inclusion, and how to live together with deep differences.
