The Worthy God: Reconciling the Old and New Testaments
Manage episode 425894568 series 2963638
Welcome to another episode of "Current Events and Christian Expectations." Today, we delve into the concept of the "unworthy" God. We discuss the modern trend among Christians to dismiss the Old Testament and its God, a view that has historical roots going back to the heretic Marcion.
We examine statements from contemporary Christian leaders and contrast them with Jesus' own words, affirming His connection to the God of the Old Testament. We discuss the importance of the Old Testament in understanding Jesus' mission and character, and how dismissing it undermines the foundation of the New Testament.
The episode also highlights various scriptures that showcase the merciful nature of God, both in the Old and New Testaments. We discuss the hermeneutics of interpreting the Bible, emphasizing that some Old Testament truths, like God's mercy, outweigh others. We conclude by affirming that the God of the Old Testament is worthy, merciful, and central to the Christian faith, just as Jesus taught.
Join us as we uncover the continuity between the Old and New Testaments and reaffirm the worthiness of God in both. Stay tuned for a deeper understanding of how Jesus and the apostles viewed the God of the Old Testament and what that means for us today.
