Would You Rather Be Blind or Deaf? | John 6:56-69 with Dr. Steven Paulson
from Scripture First
Dr. Steven Paulson is back this week in a one-on-one Scripture First episode about Jesus being both the Word while also being *in* the flesh. In this week's lectionary text, Jesus tells us to eat his flesh and drink his blood. Dr. Paulson teaches us that eating his flesh and drinking his blood is physical.Dr. Paulson gives us a history lesson about everything from Plato's dualism, to the communicatio idiomatum, to the Sacramentarians trying to turn Jesus' words into signs. That it's not actually his flesh and his blood, but something that points to an ideal. Jesus physically takes away your sin through his word. Through hearing. Through faith. What you're left with is God's forgiveness. Mason asked Dr. Paulson:- What is the communicatio idiomatum?- Why are they so offended by Jesus?- How is Jesus both human and God?Are you interested in sponsoring Scripture First?
