"I think of it as a dance. And there are times when in the dance of inspiration the human author steps on the toes of God."

that's good.

This channel needs a million subscribers. Probably the best Christian channel on YT

David Bentley Hart is certainly answering the question like David Bentley Hart would 😂

Absolutely great work on this! Picked up a few new books from authors I haven’t heard of on here.

This was so helpful to me because I'm surrounded by fundamentalists, as was I at one time. I really enjoyed seeing my college friend, Jesse Hake, as well. It's always good to hear his thoughts.

[jasonbell]

Absolutely wonderful collection. Very well done🙏🏼🙌🏽

Our faith must be founded on the person of Jesus Christ. There can be no other foundation on which it is built.

I always enjoy the Hart brothers! I have heard of Stanley Hauerwas but never read him. I will look for the book by him that D.B.Hart recommends, and ask my library to get it for me. And thanks to "Love Unrelenting" for featuring authors I have never heard of. I look forward to discovering their worjk, and making me a better man.

Very interesting and informative. Just a shame it had to have music playing throughout. Obviously, humans have done conversations wrong and we can only listen to someone's view if accompanied by music.

[grateful]

According to the scriptures, we have to be like little children to enter the kingdom of heaven. How does that concept fit into all this. Folks love to debate, argue, and disagree for the purpose of ego boosting and feelings of superiority. No wonder the "world" runs the other way.

I love Paul Young's hypothetical question at 15:42
I keep asking my friends this and they keep giving this same hesitation; what is wrong with the church today?!

I just finished up Greg Boyd’s 2 volume book on the crucification of the warrior God. Check it out. Interesting insight and argument

It is as ridiculous to say the Bible is the Word of God as it is to say a biography is actually the person being written about.

[Liesdestroylives]

Where’s your confidence in God? The day Goliath met David, was a good day for Goliath. That was the day Goliath met God. Goliath would have had many opportunities to repent, but he didn’t take those opportunities. A condition can be reached in which the kindest thing we can do for a person is hand them over to God. God can do for them what we cannot. That’s a hard truth, but it is the truth. It is the best thing for the individual who is put to death, and the best thing for society.

I’m not saying you or I should take the law into our own hands. But I am saying that the government has the right, and the responsibility to protect its citizens from those who do take the law into their own hands. Don’t confuse weakness for compassion. Many Christians who care (which is a good thing) are weak (a bad thing). To be truly compassionate, you have to protect the vulnerable and weak in society from those who seek to destroy them. Think it through. Thousands of innocent people are being put to death every year. It’s called murder. No matter what the government does innocent people are going to die. The real issue is, “How do we reduce the number of innocent people being put to death?” When the Israelites ignored the laws of Moses that’s when they ended up in deep shit. I’m sure they ignored some of those laws because they were being “compassionate.” But because they ignored those laws they eventually reached new lows. Falling so low as to sacrifice their children to foreign gods.

If you understand just how deprived people can become, you will realise that sometimes handing them over to God is the compassionate thing to do. If you really think that a person or a people can never become so evil as to warrant being completely destroyed, read ‘The Third Choice’ by Mark Durie. That’s the wests future if we don’t start being more compassionate towards the victims of the deeply deprived and start handing the very wicked over to God.

What if…..this book we call the bible would have never been canonized or written I often think we would have been better off.

[BenClemens-okfp]

Literal inerrancy seems another one of those misguided beliefs in how God is glorified, a bit like how hellfire is necessary to elevate God's holiness. That said, this doco seems to be treating inerrancy doctrine as the underbelly of fundamentalism and really taking aim at the latter. Why not just come out and say so, need to fight pitched battles on this?

[trappedcat]

1:02:06 "You dont really need the Bible as a book that you carry around... I would that they had no access to scripture at all. It would be better for them. They'd make them better Christians." Why are you publishing such horrible guidance. God says, "Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly." This whole video is demonic.

[trappedcat]

So, who gets to decide what is and what is not truth in scripture? Which scholar's brain should we give more weight? This is a slippery slope to denying all of scripture and outright rejecting the gospel.

[rodrigodanzi]

Waching this video was almost like torture. This is absolutely foolishness
