The LORD Our God Is One

In this episode guest Brian Smith will build on previous discussions about the names and titles of the Father and Jesus Christ, exploring how their shared names suggest a deeper unity. We previously examined the plural yet singular nature of Elohim and the relationship between YHWH and the Angel of YHWH, raising questions about their unity and distinctiveness. To resolve these issues, Brian will use the concept of marriage as an analogy to illustrate how two distinct beings, like the Father and Jesus, can be unified in essence and purpose, reflecting the oneness described in scripture.

Proof We Are Living in the End Times

The Greek word "aiōn" is often translated as "age" and carries the connotation of a distinct period or era in biblical texts. In the teachings of Jesus, particularly in references to the "end of the age" (Matthew 13:39, 13:49), "aiōn" denotes a time frame that encompasses the current period of human history leading up to the final judgment and the establishment of God's Kingdom.

Jeroboam's Sin

Jeroboam's sin refers to his decision to lead Israel into idolatry by setting up golden calves in Bethel and Dan, thus undermining the worship of God.

This act was a grievous breach of the covenant and a significant factor in the eventual downfall of the northern kingdom of Israel.

Sanctification

Sanctification is the process by which a believer is transformed to be more like Christ by the work of the Holy Spirit. It involves an initial setting apart at conversion and continual growth in holiness throughout the believer's life. Ultimately, sanctification is about becoming holy as God is holy, fulfilling the purpose for which believers are called and redeemed.
