AH: Season One Mailbag

We decided to wrap up Season One of Red River Reformed by discussing some fantastic listener questions. Season Two of Red River Reformed will focus on the Ten Commandments. Make sure to subscribe so that you get notified when we begin posting new episodes. Here are the questions we discuss in this episode: What does it mean when we say God “condescends”? How does The Fall impact the dominion we are to hold over the whole earth? Does dominion over the earth mean all of creation or just this planet?In S1.E2 we discussed “subduing”. Subduing implies a struggle against an undesired state of being for that which we subdue. What state of being is being subdued? And why is this state being resisted? In S1.E3 we discussed how God didn’t “need” Creation. Human motivation is often defined by needs fulfilled and unfulfilled. How do we possibly understand the motivations of God who needs nothing? Do you think general revelation makes worship obligatory? what of the “un-elect”? Are they obliged to worship? Would not their praise be meaningless?Aside from His unbound sovereignty, is it God’s unblemished righteousness that makes Him the only being fit to judge all things? Would pre-Fall Adam have been fit to judge things?In Anglican liturgy, why are we encouraged to “boldly” say the Lord’s Prayer?In our discussions about art, beauty, and subcreation we talked a lot about beauty in our lives as Christians. What is the role of beauty in the life of the Church? Should our churches and our worship be beautiful? Why?What do we think about penal substitution?Music from #Uppbeat (free for Creators!):https://uppbeat.io/t/augustine/hit-the-roadLicense code: GK64UVIEP6WBBIJD
