MACology Podcast: Season 2, Episode 8
April 8, 2025 • James Cameron, Ralph Becker, Zach Osbrink
Pastor James, Ralph and Zach are joined by MAC Elder Jon Chara as they tackle the following questions submitted by the MAC family:
- Is Jesus the only way to heaven, and why?
- If all those who live Godly in Jesus will suffer persecution (2 Timothy 3:12) what am I not doing that I should be doing?
- I’m reading through the Bible anew this year, and recently read Exodus 4:24-26, and I’m not sure I understand why the Lord sought to put Moses to death… he had just commanded him to go to Pharaoh, so why then would he not want Moses to go obey? Was Moses disobeying and the details were omitted? Did it have something to do with circumcision perhaps (since vs 25-26 include his wife circumcising their son and then the Lord “let him alone”)? I was just very confused reading that section.
- If the Godhead is of the same mind, then why would the Father do something to us that Jesus would not, or vice versa? (It gives the feeling that God would have done something different if not for Jesus’s intercession for us. Like they are in a committee meeting. Or that one is more compassionate than another. Or that Jesus knows something that God has overlooked.) not trying to stump anybody, just nobody has ever been able to add insight, and this passage was so poorly used in my childhood church. (God would strike you down if Jesus wasn’t there to tell him you’re really worth saving, in short). Thank you!
