Doubts Aloud Podcast

Episode 5 – Show Notes Frances and Andrew report back on the great Unbelievable Conference and we then give the answer ‘no’ to “Is that in the Bible?”. The earliest gospel, Mark, does not have anything at all on the central Christian idea that Christ died to do something about sins. We then we get to grips with a chapter in our 50 Arguments for Faith book “Is Jesus the Only Way?” This addresses the idea of exclusive truth as well as the apparent unfairness for cultures not familiar with Jesus. We consider how Jesus could be the Way to God or salvation. This idea that he dealt with sin, called the Atonement, is central. The “Is that in the Bible” discussion highlighted some problems here and they became worse as Andrew introduced us to his YouTube channel on Christian Diversity and the episode on the doctrine of Penal Substitutionary Atonement.https://youtu.be/P6TnqGa9Z3g We have decided to dig a bit deeper and make this a ‘Summer of Atonement”. We should all feel a lot better when it is done! Frances t
