What does it mean to be human in an age where technology increasingly blurs the lines between body and machine? Dr. John Pless, professor at Concordia Theological Seminary, tackles this question through the lens of Lutheran ethics.• Lutheran ethics begins with our relationship to God, not merely descriptive or prescriptive approaches• Transhumanism views the body as "an assemblage of replaceable parts," reflecting humanity's struggle with autonomy• The Christian understanding of body and soul sees them as "knit together," not separate entities• Christ's resurrection provides our model for embodied existence – physical yet transformed• Christian ethics operates through "reciprocity" – we first receive from God, then give to others• Luther's doctrine of vocation teaches we serve God by serving neighbors in ordinary places• Christians can navigate AI and technology by maintaining their identity as embodied creatures• Spiritual unity comes through prayer, meditation on God's Word, and facing trials together• True human connection requires discernment that AI cannot replicateAshley T Lee PodcastAshley T.

Good works do not reconcile us to God. Only by faith in the blood of Christ are we reconciled to the Father (1 Timothy 2:5). However, good works are necessary (Ephesians 2:10). They are done to fulfill God's will. In faith, there are no fractions in salvation. Works without faith will never be enough, but Christ's cross is enough. “Nothing in my hand I bring; Simply to Thy cross I cling. Naked, come to Thee for dress; Helpless, look to Thee for grace; Foul, I to the fountain fly; Wash me Savior, or I die.” LSB 761, st. 3 Rev. John Pless, Assistant Professor of Pastoral Ministry and Missions at Concordia Theological Seminary in Fort Wayne, IN, joins Rev. Brady Finnern to study the Scriptural truth on good works.

The Biblical understanding of Justification centers on Christ's cross and empty tomb. For Christ's sake, God declares the dead in sin to be alive, the unrighteous now righteous, the condemned are now not guilty, and the sinful are forgiven. Melancthon proves this Truth by pointing to the many passages in Scripture that clearly confess our hope in Christ. “My hope is built on nothing less, Than Jesus' blood and righteousness; No merit of my own I claim But wholly lean on Jesus' name. On Christ, the solid rock I stand; All other ground is sinking sand.” LSB #575, st. 1 Rev. John Pless, Assistant Professor at Concordia Theological Seminary in Fort Wayne, IN, joins Rev.
