Podcasts about sinless

Was the Virgin Mary sinless? While the Western debate often pits Catholic dogma against Protestant literalism, the ancient Christian East offers a completely different paradigm. In this episode, we explore how the Eastern Church Fathers view Mary's unique holiness without the Western legal concepts of merit and original sin, and how the theology of the Dormition proves she still required Christ as her Savior.=============Please support the East West series: http://theeastwestseries.com/All the links:The Theological Letters Substack: https://nathanajacobs.substack.com/Instagram:  https://www.instagram.com/thenathanjacobspodcastX: https://x.com/NathanJacobsPodFacebook:  https://www.facebook.com/nathanandrewjacobsAcademia: https://cabasilasinstitute.academia.edu/NathanJacobsListen and please review the podcast elsewhere:Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-nathan-jacobs-podcastSpotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/0hSskUtCwDT40uFbqTk3QSRelated Episodes & Material Mentioned:Episode 30 The Virgin Mary Grinch Slayer: https://youtu.be/bTHlv06p9U8?si=43KLlOYXc2QjAVE4Episode 33: The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly of Story Telling: https://youtu.be/H7X4Df-KEEc?si=7OV6N3SXStXia9fwTheological Letter on Mary: https://theologicalletters.com/p/on-mary-the-mother-of-god-1-of-2?utm_source=publication-searchFrederica Mathewes-Green: https://substack.com/@fredericamg/note/c-167315534

New Discourses Bullets, Ep. 161 Totalitarian projects are peculiar. They're obsessed with telling us who man is and then controlling who man can become from their unique theories about our true nature. Within each, though, is a particular fantasy about who man is outside of sin (and what defines the nature of sin and depravity). The theological word, at least in Christian circles, for this sinless man is "prelapsarian man," that is, man before the Fall. In this episode of New Discourses Bullets, host James Lindsay explores the prelapsarian fantasies of Communists and Nazis and discusses how they inform the thinking of these two totalitarian cousins. Join him for a uniquely deep look into the totalitarian mindset and the strange fantasies of Communism and Nazism.

Is the gift of tongues for every believer? Does it prove we are truly saved? Do believers still sin? What "laws" do we have written on our hearts? My fellow pastors advise me to teach more on obedience. What are your thoughts?

Greg answers questions about why we weren't made sinless in the first place, the morality of using donor sperm to conceive, whether we would conclude the Holy Spirit is equal to the Father and Jesus without the Nicene Creed, how God knows the future, and baptism for the dead.   Topics: If our evil will be removed in Heaven, why weren't we made that way in the first place? (02:00) Would it be morally wrong for a Christian married couple to use donor sperm to conceive a child if the husband is infertile? (23:00) Would we come to the conclusion that the Holy Spirit is equal to the Father and Jesus Christ without the Nicene Creed, and if early Christians didn't believe in the Trinity, were they not saved? (31:00) Does God only know the future simply because he plans the future? (41:00) What are your thoughts on the reference to baptism for the dead in 1 Corinthians 15:29? (47:00) Mentioned on the Show:  Submit a question on the Open Mic Line

As the echoes of celebration fade, what remains are the conversations that linger long after the music has stopped. In the quiet aftermath of joy, truths surface more easily, fears are shared more freely, and the weight of what comes next can no longer be ignored. When the night ends, leadership is no longer a title to avoid, but a role that must be claimed.Yet even as resolve hardens, doubt finds its way in. Nightmares linger, questions sharpen, and trust begins to strain under the weight of secrets left unspoken. Knowledge calls to those willing to listen, stories buried in ink and memory, waiting for the right hands to find them. And when paths begin to diverge, the cost of silence becomes harder to ignore than the danger ahead.In the end, masks fall, intentions are laid bare, and a truth meant to remain hidden is dragged onto a stage for all to see. What was once a city of celebration becomes something more, a city ready to stand, to be counted, and to fight back.----Support us on Patreon! https://www.patreon.com/naturalsixJoin our Discord! https://discord.gg/HNV56DADnJFollow us on Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/naturalsixFollow us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/natural_sixFollow us on TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@natural.sixLove lore?

Jesus is the Savior for all people anywhere and everywhere. Though completely innocent, Jesus is mocked, rejected, and condemned so that guilty sinners might be forgiven. Therefore, we must see our guilt, trust Him as our sinless Savior, and boldly follow Him wherever He calls us to go!

A single act of obedience can reshape a life. We press into the meaning of baptism with open Bibles and honest hearts, asking what really happens when a believer goes under the water and rises again. Not magic. Not empty ritual. Baptism is a vivid sign of grace: a burial of the old self and a public celebration of new life with Jesus.We start with Romans 6 to frame baptism as immersion and identification—into Christ's death and resurrection. From there, we map the Bible's diverse baptisms: Israel “baptized into Moses” and formed into one people, the baptism of suffering that Christ fulfilled at the cross, the baptism of the Holy Spirit promised to all who believe, and the baptism of fire that warns of coming judgment. Each thread points to the same core: what you are immersed in is what you are identified with. For the believer, water becomes a stage where faith steps into the spotlight and discipleship takes its first public breath.We also talk order and obedience. In Acts, people believe the gospel, receive the Holy Spirit, and then are baptized. Faith saves; baptism shows. That sequence protects the gospel while honoring Jesus' clear command in the Great Commission. The act is humbling and simple—step into the water because your Lord said so—and yet it's deeply pastoral. Baptism helps us feel what we cannot see: forgiveness granted, the Spirit given, a future secured. It anchors memory to mercy. And it roots us in community, where one Lord, one faith, and one baptism unite diverse people into a single body.We close with the striking truth that Jesus himself was baptized. Sinless, he chose the water to stand with sinners and to launch a ministry aimed at the cross. If you've trusted him, baptism is your joyful yes—an embodied amen to grace. If you're on the edge of faith, consider the invitation and the promise that whoever calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.Video available at: https://youtu.be/7Ypcq131dvw

LESSON 36My Holiness Envelops Everything I See.Today's idea extends the idea for yesterday from the perceiver to the perceived. You are holy because your mind is part of God's. And because you are holy, your sight must be holy as well. “Sinless” means without sin. You cannot be without sin a little. You are sinless or not. If your mind is part of God's you must be sinless, or a part of His Mind would be sinful. Your sight is related to His holiness, not to your ego, and therefore not to your body.Four three-to-five-minute practice periods are required for today. Try to distribute them fairly evenly, and make the shorter applications frequently, to protect your protection throughout the day. The longer practice periods should take this form:First, close your eyes and repeat the idea for today several times, slowly. Then open your eyes and look quite slowly about you, applying the idea specifically to whatever you note in your casual survey. Say, for example:My holiness envelops that rug.My holiness envelops that wall.My holiness envelops these fingers.My holiness envelops that chair.My holiness envelops that body.My holiness envelops this pen.Several times during these practice periods, close your eyes and repeat the idea to yourself. Then open your eyes, and continue as before.For the shorter exercise periods, close your eyes and repeat the idea; look about you as you repeat it again; and conclude with one more repetition with your eyes closed. All applications should, of course, be made quite slowly, as effortlessly and unhurriedly as possible.- Jesus Christ in ACIM

Why did the sinless Jesus receive John's baptism? Joe Heschmeyer explains how Christ “fulfills all righteousness,” inaugurates his ministry, and sanctifies the waters—making Christian baptism effective, not merely symbolic.

Questions about whether Jesus proved he wasn't sinless when he overturned the tables, whether Jesus' response to the Pharisees in Mark 3:22–26 was a bad argument, why Jesus was known for associating with sinners, and to what extent we should follow his example.   How would you respond to someone who said Jesus lacked self-control, got angry, and had a violent temper tantrum when he overturned the tables in Matthew 21:12–13, proving he wasn't sinless? Is Jesus' response to the Pharisees in Mark 3:22–26 a bad argument? Why was Jesus known for associating with sinners, and to what extent should Christians follow his example?

Christmas is a time for making memories, but not every Christmas memory is a good one. When the world reminds us of the pain of sin, we turn to our Savior. His sacrifice adopts us into the sinless heavenly family.

What Am I?I am God's Son, complete and healed and whole, shining in the reflection of His Love. In me is His creation sanctified and guaranteed eternal life. In me is love perfected, fear impossible, and joy established without opposite. I am the holy home of God Himself. I am the Heaven where His Love resides. I am His holy Sinlessness Itself, for in my purity abides His Own.Our use for words is almost over now. Yet in the final days of this one year we gave to God together, you and I, we found a single purpose that we shared. And thus you joined with me, so what I am are you as well. The truth of what we are is not for words to speak of nor describe. Yet we can realize our function here, and words can speak of this and teach it, too, if we exemplify the words in us.We are the bringers of salvation. We accept our part as saviors of the world, which through our joint forgiveness is redeemed. And this, our gift, is therefore given us. We look on everyone as brother, and perceive all things as kindly and as good. We do not seek a function that is past the gate of Heaven. Knowledge will return when we have done our part. We are concerned only with giving welcome to the truth.Ours are the eyes through which Christ's vision sees a world redeemed from every thought of sin. Ours are the ears that hear the Voice for God proclaim the world as sinless. Ours the minds that join together as we bless the world. And from the oneness that we have attained we call to all our brothers, asking them to share our peace and consummate our joy.We are the holy messengers of God who speak for Him, and carrying His Word to everyone whom He has sent to us, we learn that it is written on our hearts. And thus our minds are changed about the aim for which we came, and which we seek to serve. We bring glad tidings to the Son of God, who thought he suffered. Now is he redeemed. And as he sees the gate of Heaven stand open before him, he will enter in and disappear into the Heart of God.LESSON 351My Sinless Brother Is My Guide To Peace.My Sinful Brother Is My Guide To Pain.And Which I Choose To See I Will Behold.Who is my brother but Your holy Son? And if I see him sinful I proclaim myself a sinner, not a Son of God; alone and friendless in a fearful world. Yet this perception is a choice I make, and can relinquish. I can also see my brother sinless, as Your holy Son. And with this choice I see my sinlessness, my everlasting Comforter and Friend beside me, and my way secure and clear. Choose, then, for me, my Father, through Your Voice. For He alone gives judgment in Your Name.- Jesus Christ in ACIm

Ever feel like sin has you pinned down, making holiness seem out of reach? What if God's grace could prevent the fight before it starts? In this episode of The Manly Catholic, we dive deep into the Immaculate Conception; the feast that shows Mary was conceived without original sin, proving God's power to keep us spotless from the jump. Released right after December 8th's Holy Day of Obligation, this isn't just history; it's a wake-up call for every Catholic man striving to lead his family and crush vice. We unpack the feast's roots from the early Church's "new Eve" vision to Pope Pius IX's 1854 dogma in Ineffabilis Deus, where he declared Mary preserved from sin through Christ's merits. Discover how Franciscans pushed this truth against skeptics like St. Bernard, and why it's one of just 10 universal Holy Days demanding your Mass attendance. Cool ties include the Miraculous Medal's origin, Mary's Lourdes bombshell as "the Immaculate Conception," and her role as U.S. patroness amid pre-Civil War chaos. This dogma spotlights preventative grace. God equips you to say no to temptation like Mary did with her fiat. As men, we see her as the strong model crushing the serpent's head, pointing straight to Christ in doctrines like her Perpetual Virginity and Assumption. But here's the challenge: Pause today and reflect on your baptism, where you were reborn clean. Commit to daily Rosary prayers, leaning on Mary's intercession to build that unshakeable holiness in your vocation as husband and father. Don't miss how this truth fortifies your faith against modern doubts, with papal infallibility explained straight from Vatican I. Tune in now—your path to sainthood starts with understanding Mary's yes. References Mentioned:Ineffabilis Deus (Apostolic Constitution, 1854) Miraculous Medal (revelation to St. Catherine Labouré, 1830) Munificentissimus Deus (Assumption dogma, 1950, for context)Powerful Quotes:"God saves not just by forgiving sins but by preventing them—preventative grace." "Mary's sinless start demonstrates that holiness is possible through God's gift if one says yes to God." "Dogmas are rock solid truth, revealed by God and guarded infallibly... Denying them undercuts Christology."Key Takeaway:Start praying the Rosary every day right now—it's your direct line to Mary's intercession, helping you fight sin proactively and step up aSend us a text Support the showPlease prayerfully consider supporting the podcast on our Buy Me A Coffee page. to help grow the show to reach as many men as possible!

God With Us (Advent 2025 – Part 2)Hebrews 2:14–17 shows that Christmas matters because God became truly human in Jesus—not in sin, but in our flesh—to accomplish what no one else could. By taking on our nature, Christ destroyed the devil's power, silenced his accusations, and freed us from the fear and slavery of death. As the perfect High Priest, He represents us before God, bears our sin in propitiation, and gives us His righteousness. Jesus became like us so He could save us, stand for us, and bring us into the life and hope only He can give.Sermon Preached by Bryan Martinez on December 7, 2025Foothill Church exists to glorify God by living as disciples of Jesus who make disciples of Jesus.https://foothill.church Learn about our For the Sake of His Name 2-Year Discipleship Journey:https://foothill.church/FTSOHN

Romans 8:3-4 — Why is it important that Christ was truly a man? In this sermon on Romans 8:3–4 titled “Jesus: Our Sinless Saviour,” Dr. Martyn Lloyd-Jones answers this vital theological question and explains how it changes lives. If Christ was not truly a man, how could He die in the place of humans? If Christ was not a man tempted like all humans, how could He relate to their weaknesses? This is why Christ had to come as a true man, and yet He was totally without sin. He had to be born as a man, live as a man, and die as a man in order to be a perfect Savior. The glory of salvation is that God becomes human and dies in humanity's place upon the cross. This message of good news commands all to believe in Christ alone for forgiveness of sin as there is no salvation apart from Jesus Christ. This leaves everyone to ask if they believe that Jesus died for them and are they trusting in the what God has done in His Son upon the cross. This question is not one of intellectual speculation, but has eternal significance for all of humanity. In this sermon the listener will hear the greatest truth that the world has ever seen in the gospel of Jesus Christ.

“Can Mary be sinless if all have sinned?” This question opens a discussion on Marian dogmas and their biblical foundations, alongside inquiries about the Catholic Church’s stance on divorce and communion, and the journey from Orthodoxy to Catholicism. Join The CA Live Club Newsletter: Click Here Invite our apologists to speak at your parish! Visit Catholicanswersspeakers.com Questions Covered: 5:40 – The Catholic Church teaches that the reason why we stand in a right relationship with God—that's to say, the reason we're justified—is because of the interior righteousness that is brought about within us when we're initially justified. But if that's the case, then the focus would move away from the perfection of the work of Christ to the believer who has to maintain the state or condition, thereby dividing the glory between the savior and the saved. 7:11 – I have trouble with Marian dogmas because I believe they contradict the bible. The Assumption of Mary is never mentioned in scripture. How can Mary be sinless if the bible says that all have sinned and have fallen short. 18:04 – I'm Protestant interested in Catholicism. My Methodist church has fallen away from biblical teachings. Why aren’t divorced people allowed in the Church but people who advocate for abortion allowed to receive communion? 18:15 – I'm going to leave Orthodoxy for either High Church Anglican or Catholicism. What advice do you have for me? 28:40 – I've studied Catholicism as a Protestant for years now. Does the Holy Spirit leave you when you commit a mortal sin and get the Holy Spirit back when you repent? 30:54 – What’s the true faith and how can you know it’s true? 40:32 – I grew up protestant and was taught that worshipping idols is wrong. Praying to the dead seems wrong. 40:35 – I wasn't raised with religion forced upon me. What is Protestantism?

A thunderous voice cries out from the Judean wilderness, calling an entire nation to turn back to God. John the Baptizer, the last of the rugged Old Testament prophets, confronts the corrupt religious leaders and urges repentance. Jesus appears and, despite being our sinless Savior, wades into a pool of our sins and submits to John's baptism to fulfill all righteousness. Join us as we witness the incredible moment when the heavens open and the Holy Trinity is revealed at the Jordan River.  The Rev. Matthew Kusch, pastor of King of Glory Lutheran Church in Elgin, IL, joins the Rev. Dr. Phil Booe to study Matthew 3.  To learn more about King of Glory, visit kogelgin.org. The Gospel of Matthew bridges Old and New Testaments, presenting Jesus as the promised Messiah who fulfills the Law we could never keep and establishes His kingdom of grace for all nations. Written by a tax collector transformed by pure grace, Matthew reveals Christ as the true Son of David and Emmanuel (God with us) who challenges us with the crushing demands of the Law in His Sermon on the Mount to the sweet comfort of the Gospel in His death and resurrection. From royal genealogy to glorious resurrection, this verse-by-verse study proclaims the One who conquered sin, death, and the devil for us, now delivering forgiveness, life, and salvation through Word and Sacrament as He remains with His church always, even to the end of the age.  Thy Strong Word, hosted by Rev. Dr. Phil Booe, pastor of St. John Lutheran Church of Luverne, MN, reveals the light of our salvation in Christ through study of God's Word, breaking our darkness with His redeeming light. Each weekday, two pastors fix our eyes on Jesus by considering Holy Scripture, verse by verse, in order to be strengthened in the Word and be equipped to faithfully serve in our daily vocations.

Caleb Williams, the Chicago Bears, and Ben Johnson, looked like a playoff caliber team last week against the Cowboys.  After allowing 14 points the defense decided that was enough and helped the offense stay on the field by putting up 31 points at home.  After a rocky start the offense looked like many had hoped they would.  Now with the momentum they have they head to Las Vegas to take on the Raiders.  Everyone is anxious to see if this was a one-off game, or if this is what the new Chicago Bears will be looking like in the future.

Pastor Natalie reminds us that Jesus, our great High Priest, fully understands our weaknesses, was tempted yet without sin, and invites us to approach God's throne with confidence to receive mercy and grace. She points to Jesus' honest, surrendered prayers as our model in seasons of pain.

Send us a textThe question reverberates through Christian history: Why would a sinless Savior need baptism? Mitchell tackles this profound theological mystery with clarity and depth in this illuminating episode of the Pure Faith Podcast.Diving into the baptism of Jesus recorded in Matthew 3:13-17, Mitchell unpacks three compelling reasons behind this pivotal moment. First, it marked the official launch of Jesus's public ministry at age 30, when Jewish tradition allowed him to formally take on disciples as a rabbi. While Jesus had been discussing Scripture since childhood (as seen during his temple visit at age 12), this moment represented his official step into public teaching.Second, this sacred moment created the divine stage for the Holy Spirit's descent and God's thunderous proclamation: "This is my Son, with whom I am well pleased." This heavenly endorsement announced Jesus's identity to all present—and perhaps even alerted dark forces to the Messiah's arrival, though they couldn't comprehend how his eventual death would fulfill God's redemptive plan.Most poignantly, Jesus's baptism demonstrated his willingness to identify with sinners despite his own sinlessness. This wasn't about elevating humanity to his level but about Jesus descending to ours—the first step in his journey toward taking on our sin at Calvary. Mitchell brilliantly connects this to baptism's consistent biblical meaning of death, burial, and resurrection, tracing this pattern through Noah's flood, the Red Sea crossing, and the Jordan River.Mitchell closes with powerful personal insights, sharing his own adult baptism story despite being baptized as an infant, and urging believers not to delay baptism until they've "cleaned up their lives." The message resonates with both new and seasoned believers: just as Jesus began his ministry with baptism, so should we begin our faith journey—not after achieving perfection, but precisely because we need the transformative power baptism represents.Support the showSupport our ministryCheck us out at purefaithliving.comContact us at purefaithliving.com/contactFollow us on twitter @purefaithlivingFollow us on Facebook at Pure Faith Podcast

Segment 2: • Enduring Praise: God commends tireless discernment, endurance, resistance to the devil, obedience to His Word, and teachable hearts. • Self vs. God: In a world consumed with self-affirmation, focus on what God values. • Scriptural Guidance: "Each man's praise will come to him from God"—live for His approval, not man's. Segment 3: • Fewer Families: By 2050, more people over 80 than children will change society—and the church. • Ministry Opportunity: Aging societies mean more ministry alongside singles and those without families. • For Parents: Invest in giving your children a foundation in something greater than the world can offer. Segment 4: • Singleness Isn't Inferior: The Bible honors singleness as much as marriage—it's not second-class citizenry. • Encouragement for All: Churches must support both married and single people as demographics shift. • Lessons from the 1960s: Liberal ideologies spread then as they do now—there's nothing new under the sun. ___ Thanks for listening!
