Welcome to the Plodcast! Listen in to hear Pastor Doug talk about Edenic perfection. Then he plugs James Dolezal’s book, All That is in God. Finishing things off with a look at the Greek word “hamartano”. Happy Plodding!
Show Notes:
Edenic Perfection:
- What do we mean when we think about the garden of Eden being a perfect place
- What did a perfect garden look like and not look like?
- Entropy existed prior to the fall
- But the entropy and death of man was introduced by sin
All that is in God:
- Written by James Dolezal
- This is a defense of the doctrine of divine simplicity
- God is not a composite being, God is a simple being
- Anything that is in God, is God
- We don’t believe that God is Zeus standing on a balcony looking down on us
Hamartano:
- Found in Luke, rendered as sin and trespass
- Luke 15:18, the prodigal son confesses to his father that he has sinned
- Luke 15:21, Jesus says that if a brother trespasses against us we should forgive him upon repentance, even if he does it 7 times in one day
- Hamartia is found 7 times in Luke
- (Luke 1:77, 3:3, 5:20/21/23/24, 7:47/48/49, 11:4, 24:27)
