from Faith in Focus · host Faith in Focus
Have questions or comments about this (or a previous) episode, give us a text!In this episode Dennis discusses this word "wretched" and how it may not mean what we think it means and that confusion may...well...be making us unnecessarily wretched. He touches on how it's important to read different translations of the Bible so that you can catch when translators drop the ball or translate their biases in to the text. It's also helpful to have a working knowledge of how to detect those biases and do some rudimentary research in order to determine what the original authors meant.He also discusses how our nature as Christians, who we are in Christ and in our inner man, is NOT what we would traditionally call "wretched" or "evil, vile, depraved." In fact, it is the fact that we AREN'T those things, although we may DO those things, that causes the tension in our walk with GodIf you have any questions or comments that you'd like Dennis to address you can shoot him an email to [email protected] if you'd like to support his ministry with InFaith you can text the word "discipleship" to 41444 or head over to https://infaith.org/dennis-sutherby and give there.
