S4 Ep27 Checking in With the Big Boys on the Beatitudes

We finish our look at a few of the commentaries featuring big names like Calvin, Spurgeon, Henry, and Sproul as they pontificate on the Beatitudes in Matthew 5. We notice that, when we fail to rightly divide the word of truth, no amount of seminary training or voluminous writing will help. God has a plan for the earth and when we miss that and try to cram everything into a saved/lost split, we lose so much truth.In fact, whether they realized it or not, these big names crossed into denying Christ territory. Our interpretations must match the context of the passage in light of God's plan and purpose and it should match what we see around us. When those extolling the virtues of poverty are themselves comfortable and without a financial care in the world, we must step back and ask where they went wrong.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/brooklyn-s-dad-talks-about-the-bible--4330982/support.
