Know What You Believe

"If you don't have community to sustain you, you are a ticking time bomb.""The church is not a building. The church is God's people.""You don't send a non-alcoholic to AA to get help; you send an alcoholic."Find out how these things came up in conversation on the most recent episode of Know What You Believe. Manny, Max, and Marc start a conversation about the church, address some misconceptions from the viewpoint of a believer, and chat about church from an outside perspective. OH! And Max eats a quesadilla...don't worry, we cut out that part of the audio. We wouldn't do that to you. This isn't an ASMR experience. Support the show (http://patreon.com/veritycomplex)

What is a sin of ignorance? Ever heard of a high-handed sin? What about the gradations of sin? Is all sin really level at the foot of the cross? Join Manny and Marc as they continue their conversation about sin. Support the show (http://patreon.com/veritycomplex)

We know. We know. Nobody really enjoys talking about their sin. Who would enjoy discussing the tings that they are ashamed of? One of the often overlooked benefits to a discussion like this is that it compounds our appreciation for Jesus; talking about what he has saved us from deepens our gratitude. So join Manny and Marc today as they begin a new series on sin.Also, conjugating words can be a tricky business. If you too don't understand how words become other more different words that mean the same thing except at a different time, then you are in good company!Support the show (http://patreon.com/veritycomplex)

Is God involved in the small scale, focused details of every day life, or is he involved in the larger, big-picture things? The answer is, "yes!"

Welcome to part 2 of the conversation about Predestination...well, kind of. This month Manny and Marc talk Determinism, Compatablism, and Providence. These are all part of the greater picture that they were predestined to talk about...see what we did there?Technical difficulties abound as we adjust audio levels, introduce livestreams and VODs, and our computer even decides that it wants to stop recording in the middle of the show. Oh and Manny apparently uses violence to make his points!?Either way the ministry goes on! Enjoy the show! Support the show (http://patreon.com/veritycomplex)

Did God predestine what you ate for breakfast? Are you double predestined all the way across the sky, or are we ducks marching towards our own doom? Is this conversation even about predestination?

"The world we live in now is the best means to the best end." What does that mean? Is there a difference between saying that God did something and God allowed it to happen? Okay. Okay.

C. S. Lewis said, "...God whispers to us in our pleasures, speaks in our conscience, but shouts in our pains: it is his megaphone to rouse a deaf world."

We wanted to start the year off by presenting you all with some different perspectives on those dark days. Don't fret. You aren't alone. Also, would you like to see a Verity Complex MySpace?
