  3. It seems like the Pharisees have marriage issues, but the real issue is the question "why do those who say they love the Law want to create loopholes to get around it?"
  4. What does it mean to become a child in order to enter the Kingdom of Heaven? Pride and earthly strength compete with Christlike humility.

  6. We are discussing "I can do all things through Christ" in context of the rest of the passage, and then we discuss the story of Abraham sacrificing Isaac (rather... not sacrificing him) and whether or not Christians are called to sacrifice. Is that what this passage is talking about?

  10. Tradition in service of the gospel is good. Demanding the gospel serve tradition shows the filth of your heart.
  11. Jesus proves His divinity by not only being master over creation, but in being master of life and death. Peter proves both his faith and faithlessness by putting his eyes on Jesus and then immediately taking them back off.
  12. Dr. Paulson continues working through Paul's use of Exodus in his letter to the Romans.
