Made Like His Brothers
by Nick Mercer
Made Like His Brothers is a podcast exploring Jesus, the true God and true man, and his rescue of humanity from sin, death, and the devil. Hosted by Nick Mercer. Taking its name from Hebrews 2, where Jesus is described as being "made like his brothers in every respect", this podcast is an ongoing pursuit of the apostles' original message, read in its own historical and Jewish context. That includes taking seriously the Bible's own supernatural worldview: a cosmos of real spiritual powers, and a Messiah whose work reaches all the way into human nature itself, not merely its record before God. We'll engage in close readings of Scripture, deep dives into individual doctrines, and conversations with guests along the way. New episodes drop every Thursday, plus the occasional extra video or livestream on the YouTube channel. Subscribe if you'd like to follow along.

God is holy, just, and righteous. God also regularly forgives sin throughout the Bible. Is that a contradiction? Some say God can't forgive sin and remain just unless He punishes that sin somewhere else first. Others say God is love, and love keeps no record of wrongs, so God must forgive…
