Dogmatically Imperfect

Elevating God Above the Bible - Dogmatically Imperfect S1-022

There is a core dysfunction that the church has been stumbling through for generations. We have this idea that a theologian is one who studies the Bible. This is a gross misunderstanding. Theology is the study of God. The Bible is a book that contains the writings of ancient theologians. Bibliology is the study of theologies contained in the Bible. Just like theologians of today, the theologians from the biblical record have very different ideas. 2 small examples; From the Old Testament we see these competing ideas, God requires a sacrifice vs obedience is better than sacrifice. In the New Testament we have the age old debate of Grace vs Works. These are different theologies from different theologians in a collection of writings from thousands of years ago. We must learn how to elevate God above the scriptures. This session describes part of the reason why.

The Redacted, Ungodly Scriptures - Dogmatically Imperfect S1-021

When a scripture describes God in a way that is contrary to the example of Jesus, this is a false characterization. Fake news. It should be redacted. Just like the early church did with circumcision. Redact it. But how do we know this needs to take place? And how do we decide where to draw the line? Find out in today’s episode.

Zealous Saul & Zealous Paul, Twice Wrong? - Dogmatically Imperfect S1-020

There is a pattern we should follow in the biblical record.  Saul of Tarsus found out he was realllllly wrong.  Later, the Apostle Paul backslid and then changed his position radically.  The pattern is in recognizing how to allow the Living Word to displace the written word. This episode points out some of the areas they found they were wrong, and what they did about it.

Jesus Didn’t Die for Your Sins, it was Another Reason - Dogmatically Imperfect S1-019

Jesus fulfilled what was written, but why did he finish with the ultimate turn of the other cheek?  Jesus already had the ability to forgive sin.  So why fulfill this last prophecy?  This episode takes a close look at these questions.

Why Hell is the Center of Christianity - Dogmatically Imperfect S1-018

Christ is not the center of traditional Christianity. The center of our faith that everything else revolves around is Hell. All of our efforts are tailored to avoid Hell or try to help others avoid Hell. Is this something that carried over from the Old Covenant or is it unique to the New Covenant? Maybe it isn’t part of either…today’s episode tackles this controversial topic.
